  • Oh man, that spot made me all giddy for the film again. Can't wait for September and really hope it sticks this time.

  • After having put it to the side because the - how do I put this? - complications of the prose where above what I was able to handle the last few weeks, I have picked up The Tailor of Panama again. The only other Le Carré I've read so far was A Perfe…

  • That Lopresti story is making me think of something we call the "Third Person Effect" in communication studies. Basically, people assume an unnamed third person ("THEY") will react to mass communication messages in a certain negative way, while beli…
  • We're turning in circles again, but I really wonder whether they will go actor first or concept/screenwriters/director first. I think the Batman project, from the moment Matt Reeves took it over, was pitched as more artistic. Most of this is of cou…

  • My main problem with him is that I always think "That's the kid from About a Boy!" but given that there is a good chance that the next Bond actor will be the first to be younger than me, I will have to get used to that, I guess. There is something …

  • A belated congratulations and all the best to you, @ToTheRight !
  • Oh man, these really are just superhero movies now. I guess the niche is "comic book movies for people who think comic books are for nerds". Kind of smart, really. They will make a truckload of cash. And F&F going into space has been a meme for…

  • Yeah, I am coming around on it, as seems to be the case with all of these. I go in, expecting a novel and of course can only get a chapter or sketches of multiple chapters as this is (the infiltration, the briefing and the gala would probably all be…
  • The eyes on the SF one are really disconcerting for some reason. But overall, they are really cool.
  • It does indeed. Like four films smashed together. Or in a way, it looks the way films used to be 15 years ago. "Big action star X has to safe child witness from assassins with the help of local sidekick/love interest Y while external threatening cir…
  • Not to sideline this too much away from Daniel, but I recently saw a short part of an interview with Ram Bergman where he explained how they cast the first film. Basically, instead of trying to get actors nailed down for the project 12 or 18 months …
  • Agent of Spectre #2 is out. I am still not really convinced and given that there do seem to be only 5 issues, this should get going a bit more. I can't really put my finger on it, but it just doesn't really exite me all that much. The structure i…

  • Dryden has a Univex folder in the drawer he keeps his gun in. It has the old logo with the stylized globe. Would be cool if it came back in a more prominent way, I think. And don't they switch to a different cover somewhere late in the Fleming nove…
