  • You're kidding right? What does Bird's age have to do with it? He's only mid to late 60's, it's his achievements and style that I like. That's what makes me think he'd be a good fit for a Bond film.

  • That's not bad at all @mtm I really liked your use of the Bond theme, especially as the plane is about to go through the building and then when it breaks through the other side. I thought the score was a little tame in the actual film, for an actio…

  • MI: GP was for me the first MI film that got all the team elements right. 1-3 are still good, but I think with 4 all the pieces came together. I think Brad Bird could bring in a solid Bond film, for a debut actor. Whether he's on EON's checklist f…

  • I think some of you need to prepare yourselves for when neither Villeneuve or especially Nolan are not named as directors of the next Bond film. As @peter has been saying from the beginning...IF any of this happens, it will take its course...IF it …
  • @Colonel_Venus what the bloody hell are you going on about? Give it a rest with the Nolan fascination.

  • They're actually making a new Naked Gun with Liam Neeson in the lead? I love Liam Neeson as an actor. But he's no Leslie Nielsen. That dead pan delivery just cant be replicated the same way. It's one of those franchises that should be left in the p…
  • M_Balje is a master compared to the likes of @Christartos For a start, we like @M_Balje
  • I know where you’re coming from @talos7 I’ve enjoyed the MI series since ‘96 and the first movie. But something in DR seemed off. It’s not obvious or noticeable. It just feels off. My most obvious gripe with the film is the parachute scene where…

  • Welcome to the forums @Bennytehagent I remember playing Everything or Nothing, and very much enjoying it. Not an easy game, but certainly not impossible to finish. Who wants a game that's easy to complete though? On the flip side, I'm guessing you…
  • An excellent read @007ClassicBondFan Looking forward to part 4.
  • My first Bond film in the cinema was Octopussy. At the end it proclaimed, James Bond will return in From A View To A Kill. Wow, there would be another film, and we already had the title! And every film before this revealed the title of the next fi…

  • Nolan is very expensive, he’s just won an Oscar on the back of a very successful film, that he and his wife wrote and produced. It’s true that Amazon have very deep pockets. But they’re also a business. Why hire Nolan when they can get director X f…
  • I’m hopeful we’re all James Bond fans @DEKE_RIVERS At least at this forum. Or else the non Bond fans are a bit like Stacey Sutton at Zorins horse sale.
  • @delfloria please don’t multipost like that. Thank you
