  • Agreed about titling. Cool cover, though. Light Lenin up. Too bad about Bond's foot apparently getting blown off.

  • That would be awesome. My fingers are crossed. My hopes are just that. I don't think DV can work given his schedule. At least not for the timeframe we'd want.

  • Thinking more on this, however.... I would prefer two shorter $150 million movies in quick succession versus one four hour $300 million movie every 5 years....
  • If they want to spend 300 million on a movie, and it comes out good, then I don't care. We as fans should want the "money on the screen" and if they pull that off, good. I hold no stock in the business, except that I want it to thrive. Will it be tw…

  • Neither Dune nor Dune 2 now have spoken to me. I don't think they're bad, but the franchise doesn't connect and Dune 2 does not share the sequel effect that ESB or TDK had on me, like some have promised. From what I know of the books, the first film…

  • One of the other threads jokingly considered Jason Statham as Blofeld, but if we want some kick ass fight scenes with Blofeld, that sounds good to me? I'm not joking.
  • https://x.com/culturecrave/status/1763880008404320592?s=46&t=1n5Rcs-hD3txaEWwd9IFoA DV says he's not interested in other cinematic universes after Blade Runner burned him. Does Bond count as that, I wonder?
