  • The argument has never been that it is impossible, only that it would be utterly needless, worthless, and unnecessary. Saying it CAN be done with a great writer without qualifying HOW is a bit of a cheat. Pretty much anything CAN be done, but it …

  • Sounds a bit like the aborted idea for Rambo 5, which was going to be him against some genetically modified monsters. I suppose there is nothing wrong with spunking these daft ideas out in comic books. Would be a bit too far for the films imo. …
  • If you are not advocating for a spin off then fair enough, you are playing devil's advocate. I just saw the list of your Marvel style expanded universe and assumed. Apologies. Anyway, the spin off ideas sound dreadful to me. If, for no other reas…

  • Nobody outside of the James Bond fan community knows the names of the Bond girls in TND and DAD. They have no cultural importance whatsoever any more (if they ever has any) and any film involving their characters would face the same struggles as any…
  • Count me in with the NSNA appreciation. Not my favourite, but I prefer it to a lot of others. Somewhere between 15 and 20 in my rankings I think.

  • Am I the only one who doesn't think the Craig films have been all that dark? The violent moments are violent, and the light moments are light. That seems to be a fair balance and not drastically different to what has gone before in the series. We…

  • Moore apparently knocked out Lee Marvin on the set of Shout at the Devil when Marvin was drunk and acting up. He was a lot tougher than he ever made out. One thing I like about him is he doesn't feel the need to brag about himself or talk himself up…
