  • Word is Cruise has injured himself yet again doing an MI stunt gone wrong.

  • Wow, I don't know how to feel about this. Like the story's writer, I think Black is a great writer and that's a great building block. But The Avengers is one of those shows that just seems locked into its timeframe and makes you wonder if it's wo…
  • Is it that much different than Bond films like TSWLM or MR where the best stunts are in the precredits? I recall a review for Spy that finished with "No, they never did top that first stunt." True, the plane escape was the best stunt in Rogue Nat…
  • If I could offer my own experience with MR as someone who saw it on original release: I grew up a Bond fan practically from birth. My uncle had all the novels and gum cards and the family would see each new film as they were released and the many…
  • I hate to admit but I actually paid to see this when it came out. Those were some of the movies we'd see back in the day as Bronson was still a cool action hero along with Chuck Norris. It didn't matter he was probably 60 or older at the time. It…

  • I like the Kauffman scene but a flaw as I see it is Bond uses a gadget to get out of the situation more or less. A minor thing, though. But you could say the same about Bond tricking Grant into opening the attaché case in FRWL. A gadget gives him…

  • The Anderson Tapes is especially cool as it has Connery in a rare villain role and you also get the bonus of having future Bond villain Christopher Walken as one of his gang with a hippy vibe - "America, I could eat it up, man." I could also imag…

  • Did anybody consider maybe it's the themes lacking rather than the title sequences themselves? I rather like them, especially when I think back to how tired most of Binder's title sequences got in the '80s what with blondes smiling in giant champagn…
  • I ran across a clickbait article on celebs turning 50 this year including Craig. These lines kinda' sum up the mindset. "..has confirmed he'll return for the sequel "Bond 25" due in theaters in 2019. We're all for a silver fox 007." I recall j…
  • The thing about Blade Runner is the behind the scenes is as interesting as the final product. Even back in '82 there was talk about how Ridley Scott was annoyed by the studio interference such as the narration. I remember being really hyped for i…
  • Always good to know I'm not alone in noticing those little things. Thanks for sharing.
  • It's a little thing, but I see it all the time and I can't shake it, just saw a case of it again last night. When characters get coffee you can always tell there's no liquid in the carryout cups because as actors they have to emote, moving their …
