  • I had a conspiracy theory that Amazon thought they were buying Bond outright when they bought MGM. Their early press releases emphasized Bond a lot, with the implication being there would be a whole number of spinoffs and projects. The implications …
  • > To friends, Broccoli has characterized her thoughts on Amazon this way: “These people are f— idiots.” My hero
  • Obviously it's all speculation and doesn't mean anything, but O'Connor would be a huge win for EON.

  • Probably a bs rumor (tabloid + he has a movie coming out now) but I'd love it.

  • I am always amused by the "Skyfall stole from The Dark Knight" takes. The big one, as had been said earlier in the thread, is that TDK didn't come up with these tropes either. The other one is Nolan cribbed a lot of things from Bond in particular fo…
