  • Finally watched Queer (and for the record I can't say I'm a fan of Luca Guadagnino's films, or even a huge fan of this one). I refuse to believe that Daniel Craig didn't deserve an Oscar nomination.

  • You're not missing much with Joker. I didn't mind it necessarily, although yeah, shallow's not a bad word to use about it. I kinda expected a film about the Joker to have a bit more black humour rather than what it was. More King of Comedy than Taxi…

  • I'd rather have a new team, but I'm up for maybe an M played by Naomi Harris in the future.

  • That’s quite a beard that man has. Hiding a weak chin no doubt. I’m joking. He actually reminds me a bit of Richard Armitage or Gerard Butler. The article’s clearly nonsense but I can see how his name would come up. Not convinced we’re looking at…
    in Who should/could be a Bond actor? Comment by 007HallY February 2
  • I personally think when Fleming’s Bond novels come into the public domain on a broad level (they already are in Japan and Canada) stage plays will be what we’re most likely to get rather than movies trying to compete with EON. We’ve already had an a…

  • I think Wright's good when he's zany, but when it comes to something like Baby Driver or Last Night in Soho I personally find he lacks something. I've said in the past I don't think he's a particularly mature filmmaker at the moment, as much as I li…

  • It’s like I was saying in another thread, it’s tempting to try and find some sort of pattern or look at the wider world to predict the type of Bond film we’ll get (often it can be contradictory dependent on who’s claiming it - one can just as easily…

  • Fair enough, went over my head! I’d also say that Timothee Chalamet playing Willy Wonka felt strange enough to me. Him as Bond would be a whole different level.
