Well, the conversation deals with something I'm familiar with. Just keep in mind that the info posted on IMDb is quite often inaccurate, as there's a lot of confusion. I just hope not to bring a lot more here. Regarding the "2.39" vs "2.35" debat…

There are also foot doubles. Rosanna Arquette worked with Martin Scorsese on the anthology movie New York Stories, and there was supposed to be a shot in which Nick Nolte gazes at her bare foot. She warns Scorsese that her feet are oddly-shaped, …

And he negotiated some creative control over this episode. His point of view ultimately prevailed over Spielberg’s.

I bet it will be 1969. Anyway, if you want to see how an Indiana Jones movie could work in the sixties, just consider one of its inspirations (which I may have already mentioned here), That Man from Rio. Indiana Jones is part James Bond, a…

"Woke" is an umbrella term, but most of the time, it's something derogatory targeted at anything that challenges some statu quo, suggesting there's a political agenda against all traditions. Sure, there have been instances in which "wokeness" and…

Part of the accusations levered at Kennedy are unfair, and come out of blatant sexism. But it's also obvious that there have been bad choices since she's been at the head of Lucasfilm. It's true that there was no overall vision in the execution o…

The relationship between Indy and Short Round is much more fleshed and fulfilling than the one with Willie. It's actually one of the best things in the film. They were able to defy stereotypes with the kid. It owes a lot to the child actor, but it's…

On Temple of Doom, both Spielberg and Lucas were coming out of a divorce, and that definitely affected their take on the lead female character in the script. Capshaw does the best she can from some poorly written material. It's less the screaming th…

Toby Jones has also spent three seasons of a TV show chasing artefacts. But there was less action.

Basically, modern day MGM is the United Artists library (and IPs) plus most of the Orion library plus the Cannon library, plus MGM releases starting from 1986, all wrapped up under a more iconic name and logo.

There's a season that concludes with Don Draper watching "You Only Live Twice", with the theme song also playing during the credits. "Mad Men" creator and showrunner Matthew Weiner was offered at some point after Spectre to submit a treatment for B…

As I had said a couple of weeks ago, people are definitely happier to see that Indy will fight Nazis rather than Russian commies. They're not at all in the same league for enemies.

JB - James Bond DV - possibly Denis Villeneuve’s Dune GB - Ghostbusters Afterlife FD - The French Dispatch (Wes Anderson) TSS - The Suicide Squad BW - Black Widow TE - The Eternals HK - Halloween Kills (?) F9 - Fast Nine

Full text of his later tweets: “To put you out of your misery - it’s not JB, DV, GB, or FD. Or TSS, BW, TE, HK, F9…”

Wright also mentioned it was not "JB".

Ford has a long documented problem with Han Solo, which basically comes up from the fact that he had at some point two active franchises, one in which he was the undisputed lead and one in which he ultimately played second fiddle to Mark Hamill. …

One source of income for the franchise is the boxset with the complete series. They're a Black Friday perennial. Even with NTTD going to Universal for home video, it's a given they would have negotiated beforehand some kind of agreement for cross-li…

The $8.45B bill includes $2.4B of debt.

Sure. It's just that when you have Nazis, you automatically get a whole baggage and imagery – Wagner, the skull and crossbones, the thousand years Reich, the aggressiveness,... – that automatically makes them great cartoon villains. If you use Russi…

The Russians could be fine bad guys, but Soviet ideology was all about dialectical materialism. I can't see Commies trying to find the Ark of Covenant or the Grail. They believed in symbols, but not myths. One of the best ideas from the Bond adap…

One of the (many) things that made Crystal Skull not work was the choice by Spielberg to use Russians instead of Nazis. After Schindler's List and learning about the extent of their atrocities, he swore he would never use again Nazis for comic reli…

NTTD will be probably one of the movie releases that show that the pandemic is over, a big tentpole event that will contribute to bond audiences together, and not just fans of the franchise, especially as it was delayed repeatedly but didn't go to a…

Kathryn Hahn is most of the time a scene-stealer, especially when she plays a character who's supposed to be sweet but has a mean streak. She can be all smiles but with a whiff of craziness or violence that works great for comedy, and even more for …

As production is supposed to start in Greece next month, they may have nearly completed the main casting, and they're just dropping the names by name every two or three days to generate more buzz than a single big announcement.
