  • I'm gonna go get the papers.
  • People keep saying Henry Cavill, he's an actor? I thought he was a stand-in they kept forgetting to edit out?
  • That Chalamet is a talented wee guy but it sounds like you've never seen a Bond film before.
  • Us by Jordan Peele. Excellent movie.
  • Many of these guys just don't have that presence that burns up the screen, or have anything really distinctive about their faces. Both things that all six actors so far have had.

  • I haven't seen Tenet but reading about it makes me grateful for storytelling like Raiders of the Lost Ark and Mad Max Fury Road.

  • suavejmf wrote: » Neeson would have made a good Bond. Not if they need 15 cuts to show him jumping over a fence.
  • If the people who disagree are expected to move on can the people who keep posting picture gallery's of the same actors move on too?

  • I don't know about anybody else but I can't help and look at some of these new names, notably Callum Turner and Stuart Martin, as well as older names like Aiden Turner and Luke Evans, and feel a sort of hope about the possibilities for future Bonds.…
