Dalton always came off as a guy people wouldn't want to mess with, particularly in his second movie. Maybe he's not as convincing in fisticuffs, but he'll never look as ridiculous as Craig's floating head on the stuntmen in SKYFALL and SPECTRE. I…

Here's some encouraging news about U.S. citizens' response to the ridiculous (and, of course, dangerous) anti-lockdown protests: https://news.yahoo.com/yahoo-news-you-gov-coronavirus-poll-most-americans-reject-antilockdown-protests-124259347.html

Respectfully, @DarthDimi , that's not what's being reported. Based on an analysis by Johns Hopkins (not a rumor or "twisted statistics"), Belgium has the highest death rate -- number of deaths scaled to the size of a population -- in Europe at 13.4%…

Couple of things that surprised me. Partway through the feed, Brosnan recalls that he actually signed a contract to do TLD, which I don't think he's ever said in interviews (correct me if I'm wrong). I know there is a photo of him signing with Brocc…

It will underperform significantly. In November many people will still be skittish about going to theaters, and the stench of SPECTRE won't help. I can't believe the folks here are still arguing about this. Just be glad if it's a good movie.

I like both Paradise Towers and The Happiness Patrol quite a bit. The former is a surreal tenement horror-thriller with a pleasing dose of dark comedy, and the latter has one of the funniest villains (Kandyman) and one of the best (and surprisingly …

Another interesting article, this one on the bungling that led to the NYC cases. Mayor de Blasio does not come off well here. https://www.yahoo.com/news/the-mistakes-that-turned-new-york-into-an-epicenter-of-the-coronavirus-epidemic-090040375.html

1. CR - although overlong (I'm not crazy about the Venice climax), CR is close to a perfect Bond film and usually sits in my Top 5 2. QOS - unfairly maligned, this is a lean, intelligent, muscular action thriller with one of the best Bond girls (Ol…

You're absolutely right, @Getafix, and thank you for stepping in. Everything is just totally off: The lackadaisical attitude the filmmakers seem to have to Severine's death (which might have been a product of bad editing), Craig's smug quip, foll…
