Bet she had to take EasyJet for at least one of those flights too. Not sure why I find that idea funny but I do.

Frequent flyer miles perhaps? She does it in CR too to be fair.

It depends on the fight I'd say. That sequence in Kingsman works because the violence is so exaggerated and arguably even cartoonish anyway. It's not just that there's a long take, but the exaggerated jerky movements, zooms, and the camera almost 'p…

Single take tracking shots of longer lengths can be a bit boring. I enjoyed the first shot of SP, but it didn't really do all that much apart from look cool and showed the scenery/costumes of the parade (which were magnificent and sufficiently other…

He's ok. There's definitely a seductive quality to him that comes out in his performances but I don't see much 'warmth' to him as an actor if that makes sense (which I guess is the logic in casting him as a Dracula character in The Invitation, and a…

I'm not too familiar with this director. What's wrong with his lighting style?

Personally if they were to go down that route I'd get Timothy Dalton to play M. It'll never happen but there's something just so right about it.

Not too familiar with Aaron Pierre but I get what is meant by him looking rather 'pretty'. That's not to say that this is a bad thing nor does it disqualify him for Bond (he's certainly a handsome, objectively masculine looking man). It's more about…

Personally, while I'm not against 'auteur' directors doing a Bond film, my instinct is there are a few who should never do one. Nicolas Winding-Refn is one (a very empty and superficial filmmaker in my opinion). Tarantino is another (while moments l…

Of course it's difficult to tell without having seen the auditions, but I do get the sense that the 2005 lot was a bit underwhelming really, except for Craig (Sam Worthington is barely an actor to put it nicely). I can see why the producers said he …

Neil was definitely a solid choice. I'm glad he got the chance to audition. But I do think the series needed someone like Dalton with his investment in evoking Fleming's Bond (or perhaps in an alternate universe/with a different film, Brosnan with h…
