  • BTW, re: Deadline. The "is expected" construction translates to "we haven't confirmed it yet." When they do confirm it, the construction becomes "has learned," "has confirmed," or something like that.

  • From Variety. //However, some insiders believe that there is a good chance Craig will return for at least one more outing as 007.// If they were really insiders, you'd think they'd know, rather than believe.
  • Rack up another scoop proved correct for Bamigboye. Purvis & Wade's return was confirmed in the announcement.

  • re: Bamigboye's story on Purvis & Wade. That was more than four months ago. Why would anyone assume they have a first draft done? I could see a treatment by now. But a complete first draft? Logan's hiring for Bond 24 (and 25, though that c…

  • Martin Landau's warm-up (sort of) to playing Bela Lugosi: Playing a Transylvanian villain on The Man From UNCLE. He spoke in the same accent that he'd use decades later in Ed Wood.
