  • And here's to wonder if this year is going to be another desert, devoid of any solid information regarding the future of our next film. I wonder if this Rhythm Section with Blake Lively will affect development on 'Bond 25'.

  • For the record, Daniel openly stated that Spectre was the happiest hour of his Bond moviemaking experience.
  • I'm halfway into Season 3 of Alias and it's definitely as good as I remember it.

  • I found Cavill to be the best thing really. Since I know the original Illya Kuryakin, Hammer's portrayal really bothered me so he's my least favourite of the trio. I like Vikander in this one, but in her other films, she just comes off as a boring p…
  • Thunderfinger wrote: » Well, the Brosnan Bonds are horrendous so there is a huge difference. Quite many of my favourite films are light and escapist. I see. I wonder what is your opinion on Henry Cavill in the role of Solo?
  • Thunderfinger wrote: » Not sure what you mean, do you mean it is a bad film? Not at all. But, the film's style was more in escapist tone and quite very light, which I figured wouldn't be right up your alley (like the Brosnan films for instanc…

  • Thunderfinger wrote: » THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. (2015) Never saw the tv series, but I really enjoyed this movie. Very stylish and entertaining. The score enhances it all. Funniest part of it is all the rivalizing banter between Kuryakin and So…
  • The Templar of the books, especially in the early ones, was more like a god-like character nobody touched and was terribly biased towards the villains without taking their existence into consideration but ending them. He'd infiltrate their lairs, wa…

  • GoldenEye 007: Reloaded, if I remember correctly that is, was revealed at the 2011 Comic Con.
  • I was laughed at when I said something might be announced at Comic Con.
  • I liked his ties to the Knights Templar a lot, though. Is there a chance Rayner might come back?

  • I've yet to see the sequel, too! You know, though, that it's a bit absurd that they're neglecting the characters from the original novels? Like, Simon Templar facing his own Blofeld... And that would be Rayt Marius from The Last Hero and his asso…

  • Thanks! You know, in addition to my debriefing, there are some cliches I found a bit cringeworthy, like that Batman Begins type background for Templar. Trained by his nemesis, who in turn murders his family, then he gets caught up with him and do…
