Not seen Citadel (not that it sounds worth seeing from some of the comments here!) but I think Madden’s problem is he doesn’t quite have that ruthless likeable b*stard quality that Bond needs. Even in Bodyguard that was never his thing. Don’t hav…

I’m a big fan of that fight. It’s one of those Bond fights that has a sense of realism to it (the choreography in a tight space, the camerawork, objects and people’s heads being smashed around etc) but then it’s got that bit of absurdity with Bond u…

The unmade Bond 17 script (from '91 I think?) does seem is a lot breezier than LTK. And yes, the villain is kind of a prototype Elliot Carver and I think they used a few bits and pieces for TND. But I don't know whether that particular script wou…

Presumably a director can pitch a story to EoN as, from discussions on these forums, that’s what I understand Boyle and Hodge did. But it’s worth saying that unless you’re a director on Boyle’s level of fame and have some connection to EoN I think i…

To be fair to Fury Road its audience and critical response were legitimately great. I think it had a bit of a second life after its release as well (I know people who would say it’s one of the best action films of all time, even though most didn’t g…

It’s not a film for everyone. Like I said I thought it was great (personally found it much more interesting than any of Nolan’s Batmans. Certainly better made on a filmmaking level than those last two efforts). More importantly though it seemed t…

There could well be a ‘back to basics’ approach that might mean a slightly smaller budget. I’d be up for that dependent on what they want to do with the story.

The interest just wasn’t there for Furiosa. Even Fury Road wasn’t a big financial hit (it’s worth saying that even with the first three Mad Max films they had to make adjustments in order to sell it in America/abroad - dubbing over Australian slang …

None of these are bad necessarily. I'm actually a big fan of TMWTGG's fight, despite the build up not making any sense (it's got a nice gritty vibe to it with the choreography and loose camerawork). What I find damages some of these scenes is the fi…

Yeah, not quite sure why studios have decided to keep going with Ghostbusters of all things. Just from a cynical business standpoint it's not a franchise with a lot of financial potential. The first film, while a classic, came out in the early 80s a…

I'm not gonna lie, for the longest time that moment in DAD actually really confused me. At one point I didn't even clock that it was the passenger ejector seat. No idea if it would work in real life, but then again it doesn't need to really. As l…

It really depends on what the film needs. A longer PTS should be there because a lot is needed to set up the story and the main inciting incident is best conveyed in the opening. A shorter one means more exposition and setting up of things after the…

Was there any particular reason Dalton didn't favour bespoke suits/clothes? Just seems a bit odd considering Fleming's Bond wore bespoke suits that were a bit more slim fitting for the time, and emulating the literary character was Dalton's thing. …
