  • @Getafix Natural humour that evolves from conversations and such is more Craig and Dalton's style. Dalton delivered the one liners with a sense of urgency which suited him. I love TLD too but I just wish the chase had have been done without t…

  • @Revelator I'm not sure about Trigger reappearing. I like how Bond only saw her and never met her. Keep the mystery there for all eternity. As for the other girls I mentioned. I just meant for Bond to run into them in a personal situation. …

  • When I read this I couldn't help but wonder if maybe these comments of Logan's have come in the wake of Eon asking him to do re-writes claiming that the script is too deep and character driven and that they want more action. Wouldn't be surprised.

  • Evidently, Eon have absolutely no interest in making their titles look interesting. The fonts for the past few films have all looked almost the same as well as being pretty plain and boring. I miss the days when they used to pick classy, interesti…

  • Producers are looking for a "gritty" Bond girl whose a match for Bond? I hope by "gritty"" they mean personality wise at least and not another fighter... Yawn... It's the same for every movie - they want a Bond girl who's a match for Bond. It's…

  • @Risico007 Why don't you like Bond period pieces? @SHF1 Not that SOLO is anything to write home about but personally I think it definitely outranks Carte Blanche which is about a protagonist who only shares one thing in common with the real James…
