  • Yep, milking a cow dry…
  • In Tightrope Clint played a tough cop, but he was a troubled , flawed man. I was an extra in the brewery scene. All day I got to watch him work; it was awesome. He didn’t officially direct the film but he was absolutely in charge. I was fortunate…
  • I don’t know what is expected of the Superman costume; while there may be cosmetic differences, the look is pretty established. Yes, they could go completely out of the box , but that would be incredibly counterproductive . Gunn appears to be t…
  • I still think they should have revealed Tom Hardy’s “ Max” to be the Feral Child from Road Warrior, there are clues, and had Mel return as the authentic Max. That would have been epic. Who knows, had Mel not the derailed his career…
  • It’s a good move for them to reveal the first image rather than one taken by a paparazzi, hiding in some bushes, a half mile from the filming location.
  • Giving it some thought, a follow up to The Rock where Connery’s character John Mason is pursued by hard edged veteran cop, Eastwood could have been fun; James Bond meets Dirty Harry. I can see it as a The Fugitive type film where they eventually …

  • I really like the concept of The Entity. FO is a very good film ;it frustrates my that I can’t quite put my finger on what its lacking. Some time has passed since I’ve seen it; I’m going to give it another go. My initial, mild, disappointment may h…

  • An interesting take on why Bond should not follow trends and should have it's own identity. https://screenrant.com/james-bond-26-copy-jason-bourne-john-wick-mistake/

  • Good grief…🙄

  • But it may also depend on a tug o war for control; without compromise, EoN wins and moves on.

  • Some throw around the word “reinvented “ when it comes to many of the elements of the Bond films. I understand that to a degree but they can’t reinvent to the point of being unrecognizable as Bond. Top Gun beautifully illustrated the value of rem…

  • She will be at least 30 by the time cameras roll.
  • A nod to Bond. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the used the actor who resembles Daniel Craig https://screenrant.com/star-trek-discovery-james-bond-vesper-martini/
  • Like him or not, Brosnan did, in part, help save the franchise. I am a huge fan of Dalton’s Bond, but I don’t think he ever really caught on with the general public.
  • At a glance Hughes strikes me as Daniel Craig morphed with Ralph Fiennes ; that’s not a bad thing.
  • A more grounded, AVTAK , with Brosnan; that way I can keep Duran Duran’s song but get a 5th Brosnan film
