  • Is The Fabulous Pay-Off what eventually became TMWTGG?
  • I would love to see Bond in heavy winter attire in Europe. But overcoats and scarves, not damn puffer coats.

  • Haven't seen trailer yet and at this point may try not to. I want to trust Miller but I can tell just from the images I've seen this will be something a little different to what I want/expect.

  • I mean, before they're confronted directly with Bond etc., what exactly are they to do? They're on a moving train.

  • Exactly what happened. Henrik Fisker started Fisker, the car company, with the Karma sedan. Hurricane Sandy flooded his inventory of vehicles, drove him bankrupt, he sold off his namesake company and its assets. They rebranded from Fisker to Karma (…

  • Genuinely think there's either a revolution or a crisis coming to car design in the next couple of decades. Apple's patents for a car seem to suggest they think the interior will be completely AR and VR focused, with little to no actual glass to …

  • I started the B23 production thread and updated the OP every day. I also remember the Clapperboard thread. Can't believe they just released the full order of the scenes by the end basically. But it was fun! I remember the first spy photos of Bardem …

  • I would show someone TLD first. I would personally watch LTK first.
