This kind of fantasy was never my cup of tea either, but I was coerced into at least giving the films a try, and so I did. I principally never judge a film until I've seen it, so good or bad, I had to have watched the HP films first before I could s…

I just want to throw an unrelated comment in the mix: I love how Gunn takes a piss on angry Internet trolls. He shows them exactly the way I have always thought of them. It's one of many indulgences Gunn has allowed himself in Superman. And while a …

@mtm It sounds like you and I have slightly different perspectives on the Harry Potter films and their potential future. My concern seems to be maintaining the integrity of the original story without unnecessary additions or retellings that could d…

I think Gunn was wise to dop us "in media res". No origin story, not too many "beginnings" of anything. Let's skip the bits that hold us back and dive into the story without a clue whatsoever. What I love most about this Superman is that he isn't sl…

I have just seen SUPERMAN in the theatre. Oh, man, this was great. Seriously, I laughed harder than I have in a long time. I will need time to fully process things, but I am a fan. And the politics... well, it felt good to see the "real bad guys" ta…

Thanks, guys, but it was @moneyofpropre2 who suggested the time was right for this thread. Credit where credit is due.

@MajorDSmythe I just finished watching The Wrath Of Becky. A lot more comedy in this one, but well balanced with the serious stuff. Lulu is even better in this one, in my opinion. (Spoiler) I had a good time with this second film. It's fast, …

I know this is controversial, but I believe that while CR67 is often mocked, it deserves the dignity of serious consideration. Obviously I don't mean that in the sense of being taken seriously as a Bond film. But what about CR67 as an expensive spec…

Let's not forget TB, YOLT, DAF, TSWLM and FYEO. In terms of score presentation in film order, there's work there to be done. ;-) But I don't want to sound ungrateful. I'm always happy with what we're given.

This is tough! I really, REALLY fancy both ladies. I guess I'll always choose Solitaire in the end.

I agree. Just a bit more sightseeing alone would give the film a facelift of sorts. Bregenz, La Paz, Sienna... they chose these intriguing locations and shot certain scenes beautifully, like Bond driving in Bregenz at night and after a bit of rain. …

Glad to know I'm not the only one who has to negotiate with the missus. I have sat through the entire Twilight saga... three bloody times already! That's a high price to pay, people.

I have always dreamed of a Bond film shot by Dante Spinotti. He's still active, despite having been in this business for almost 45 years already. He has shot some of Michael Mann's best films.

A baby is a wonderful gift. I'm very happy for Caterina! I hope her pregnancy goes well for her. All I can attest to is that the older you get, the harder it is to recover from a sleepless night.
