  • Basically what I am trying to say is : Daniel Craig made Babs look good/saved her skin & that of the franchise - not the other way around. 007 Is still going strong despite Barbara Broccoli, not because of her. As you may have noticed, I'm not…

  • Simple for me, I list the films with two or more really good action/stunt sequences and then compare: PTS + Bond vs Oddjob + private jet end stunt GF Underwater battle + Bond showdown on Disco Volante TB Plane stunt Helga Brandt + Little nellie…

  • Only the second pic (the premiere/event) is unaltered (no light filter), and there he clearly gets washed out by the high contrast of the white shirt on midnight blue tux jacket. But each to their own :D
  • @Suivez – can’t agree with your generalized defense of dubbing. As much as I love the French language, it truly does massacre a lot of English language films with a good script. Dubbing just does not work for films where the original language and…
  • Over saturated or not, DC looks best in low contrast shirt/suit combinations. Which is why the black or midnight blue tux with classic white shirt doesn't suit him that well either.
  • That suit is better, but the white shirts keep persisting... they overpower. Craig's low-contrast features look better with a light blue shirt. All you see in that pic is BAM - WHITE SHIRT!!!

  • Didn't know you were Belgian, Darth Dimi. I live in VL as well, though am a Brit. Your English is exceptional for a Vlaming. I'd agree that subs are easily ignored, and they don't really bother me, but I often find that most of my Belgian friends &…

  • It already has, for me. Singer's 'X-men' started the revival - Nolan's Batman trilogy perfected it - and now Marvel are milking it.

  • I've grown tired of this thread. So I will sum up: * The DB5 was a poor idea and everyone agrees with that. * Skyfall is ok but overrated. there, thread solved :D
