  • Le Chiffre’s still quite evil. He’s essentially bankrolling terrorism. Even in the book he’s a nasty sadist. But yes, his situation is quite unique in the sense he’s trying to get himself out of it. As I said, I think the problem with having a tr…

  • Oh, on paper it’s way better than anything Benson ever came up with, agreed. But yeah, it’s a shame. But as I said at least we got a bit of a dry run for SF. I’m sure it could be mined for ideas in future films as well.

  • Might just be me, but I find it a bit funny how wound up some people are about EON (do some people really think fans who like the latest movies to whatever extent/aren't criticising them at every moment are worshiping them like Gods? 😂)
  • Unfortunately it’s my least favourite Bond film. When some fans talk about how grim and dark they find the Craig films (I would disagree personally), that’s not unlike how I see this film. Most of it comes from what’s been mentioned - the cinematogr…

  • Personally, I think Turner and Johnson are wonderful in these clips. I can't imagine how awful it'd be trying to talk to James Cordon or Jimmy Fallon for an extended amount of time... Otherwise I don't really see the point here.

  • DAD is a film I always feel a bit sorry for. It’s got this great premise of Bond being captured, tortured for months, and then having to go on his own to figure out who betrayed him. I wish this idea was better married with the 'silliness' of the fi…

  • I can imagine a scenario where the game is going to come first and then a film will follow that a year or whatever later. It could drum up some excitement and potentially get some new viewers onboard. That said I don't think it's an airtight plan or…
  • Yeah, I really don't know what it is about ATJ and him not putting in better performances. He's certainly not a bad actor or uncharismatic. He seems to want to do interesting roles. He's just... well, a bit average. I dunno, I think for Bond the …

  • I suspect it's encouraging that EON are up and running regardless of the project (not to say they've been sitting around doing nothing since NTTD, far from it).
