FWIW, and I'm certainly no producer, but I'd be looking to halve SF's reported budget and focus the action on three main locations. A PTS, a European-based first act and then an extended travelogue through an exotic country. Give it time to breathe…

I think we can all agree that the announcement of a placeholder release date without confirmation of DC is mildly curious at the very least. It smacks of negotiation IMHO. Whether the sticking point is director, script, creative involvement, mone…

Yes, I think we need to divorce our frustration at the B25 delay from DC the actor. On a pure performance level, his first three were scintillating. I'm reasonably confident he'll come back all guns blazing.
-
I respectfully disagree that SP will "seem" better once B25 has dropped. If anything, think it'll sink in people's lists. I don't think the Mendes double has much replay value, but at least SF had some inspired elements. Great locations, excel…

Does anyone think the concept of a 'standalone mission' is dying a slow death? I'm pretty sure Mission Impossible still does it to a large extent, happy to be corrected. It's sad, as I love the traditional Bond formula. 'Re-setting' the world …

I'd love a good old fashioned standalone too, Craig or no Craig. Problem is, the next generation of writers and directors have been weaned on episodic drama (binge watching subscription) and could, almost by default, see future Bond instalments a…

Will certainly take some wizardry to have DC doing something fresh next time round. Most of the dramatic meat is gone.
-
I feel that we have entered an era of four-year intervals. Babs seems to welcome/need help from her creative principals, which of course adds layers of complication. Combine that with inevitable industrial obstacles, along with interest in oth…

Yes, enjoy the passionate defences of TWINE. Good reading.
-
I agree with much of the P&W criticism, but I can only applaud what they tried to achieve with TWINE. Whenever I think of that movie, I hear Ewen McGregor shouting "you were the chosen one!" Everything about that feature suggests that the …

I enjoyed Waltz as Blofeld, particularly in Rome. Not Savalas heights, but close enough. Actually, Savalas Heights sounds like a nice place to live.
-
from prison, blofeld (waltz) hires scaramanga (cumberbatch) to put a bullet through Bond's skull. you could *almost* have Madeleine Swann assassinated by scaramanga without too many accusations of repetition (vesper). especially if they break up …

As for my own comment GG, I posited that Campbell better understood how awesome it would be to live like Bond. I find the Mendes films glum by comparison. I don't like his ponderous style but I appreciate there are many who do.
-
Yep, that's the one. There's a 'bond list' in there with all the movies rated according to very specific bondian criteria. and it's a bloody good read.

I feel that Campbell understands the joy of being Bond far more than Mendes and many others.

LTK is easily, easily, the best 80s Bond and top five overall. The action sequence on the water is the best showcase of bravura editing since Peter Hunt scorched the screen in OHMSS. John Glen was hitting his straps right at the end. A top thr…

I loved the poker in CR, we need more of that savoir faire. More yoghurt, figs and coffee (very black) dammit! "Two tickets. The usual box."

oh yeah, that's likely peter. they do seem a forgiving, tight-knit bunch though.

From EON's point of view, the only lesson learned from SP might be not to burden Logan with as much responsibility next time. Oh, and DC hurt himself. These things happen. They will also see that SP made good bank and drew a lot of the 'neutra…
-
Agree with the calls to ditch the angst and just bloody put 007 on a mission. I'd rather see the writers draw inspiration from Logan's Run than Logan. Bond comes across a society where everyone dies at 30, so he shags himself stupid before rem…

Just saw Baby Driver. Edgar Wright has talent, no doubt. But there's still something adolescent about his film making IMO. The film needed to 'bite' harder, but I'm not sure he has it in him. Needs more films under the belt, needs maturity …
