  • Finally got around to listening to the bit about 003. Over this marketing campaign, I've come to think Kim Sherwood has a good handle on this and am lookng forward to this book, but that sounds like some horrible fanfic. (Spoiler)
  • I'm still living in a world where I hoped Savages would be an actually good film. So I have a bit of a soft spot for him...

  • So it's not a continuation of the Deaver timeline and the Overseas Development Group. And it also doesn't step into the Fleming/Gardner/Benson pseudo-timeline.
  • We must have discussed Taylor-Johnson before and come up with some demerits, right? From the top line characteristics, he looks like a very serious contender, but I can't recall him being discussed in depth. English, 32 years old, 5'10", dark hair,…
  • The Craig era is very interesting in that regard. I'd have to have a proper think about it to make my thoughts more cohesive, but they seem to have purposefully stepped back from technology and used pre-digital technology a lot. It's very noticable …

  • Is there something like Llewella Chapman's Fashioning James Bond for the interior design and architecture of the films? I wonder whether a lot of these factory-like settings were built after at-the-time current modern factories that were changing ra…
  • On the one hand it would be ridiculous for Eon to say they have to take a couple of years to reinvent the character and then do the same thing they did with Craig. On the other hand, they can sometimes be a bit ridiculous... I do believe the aim …

  • I love Only Death is Permanent and Send a Bullet. Both immediatly make me think of a certain tone for the film that seem interesting.
  • This may be a bit overwrought, but to me the entire Bond series is by now a bit like different stagings of the same play. Eventhough they are steadfast in saying they never do remakes, we always have more or less the same structure; very similar cha…

  • Having just watched The Gray Man, I think we can be very happy with the quality of the CG in the latest Bond films. They really seem to be doing a lot of work planning (previs-ing seems to be the lingo) out all the shots and what will be there and w…
  • Whoever they cast please put him in a 3 week bootcamp with this guy and then do the card game scene from Moonraker:

  • Mallory wrote: » The Gray Man Overall I enjoyed it. Gosling was good as a stoic spy and Evans was suitably OTT as the villain, though I feel he could’ve gone a lot further. Despite Netflix spending $200 million on it, the CG in a lot of plac…
  • That's a good shout, I'll look into that. Thanks.
  • I just think it’s kind of strange that so many of these franchise filmmakers saw enough in Hoult to take an extended look at him, but when they did, decided to go with someone else. But I’m reading too much into that…
  • I just heard on a podcast that Nicholas Hoult was close to getting the role of Rooster in Top Gun:Maverick which ended up going to Miles Teller. He of course also was the other finalist for The Batman, where he lost out to Robert Pattinson and littl…
  • I'm planning a trip to the US East Coast. Are there any good Bond locations to hit while there? Our itinerary isn't set yet, but we're mostly looking at anything Washington DC and north from there...
  • I think it's remarkable that they even put thought into how the villains connect to the SPECTRE organization in the films. The dev blog talks about how the player playing as Blofeld always starts out as "Number 1" (which apparently is part of a mech…
  • That doesn't read very promising. I may get it as a novelty, but 60€ is indeed a big price for what seems to be an average game.

  • Just a classic day at the office of people not wanting to learn how to use the systems put in place, misusing them and then complaining that they don't work as advertised. Now, the smart part of my brain is aware that any system that people can't us…
  • At this point I am only about 60% looking forward to the announcement of the next actor because I want to know the future of the franchise and 40% because I want to see @JeremyBondon's reaction. Either they won't pick Turner and there will be an epi…
