  • Cavill is a big gamer, though more of a pc gamer. I think he mostly plays WOW. But I wouldn't rule him out from accepting if asked. The question would be if they could afford him. A lesser known actor might be better. Easier to mould as their Bond.

  • Matt Smith as Bond? Hhmm... no, I don't see it. An absolutely wonderful Doctor, but he's not Bond.

  • I'm in a quandry. My PSN subscription runs out next month, but in the current Black Friday sales, a 12 month subscription can be had for £33. But I don't know if it's worth it. I don't play online that much now. When I bought my PS4 back in 2017, I…
  • 0.5/100? Ouch. I still have GTA3 and GTA: San Andreas plus a working PS2 *touch wood*, something tells me that I would be better off dusting off my PS2 and playing the original games, rather than these half baked Remasters.

  • It hasn't been confirmed by Ubisoft. It's just sources claim this, sources claim that. The Splinter Cell rumour is like the tide coming in, and going out. I will believe it when I am holding a copy of the next game in my hands.

  • Going on the possibility that Nicholas Hoult might be cast as the next Bond, I would like to put forth Anya Tayor-Joy as a Bond Girl. She won a lot of praise for The Queen's Gambit and continues to nurture a fine career. But she's not too big as to …
  • Everyone's favourite 20th Bond film, Die Another Day. A lot of bad, some good. Possibly Brosnan's best performance of his 4 Bonds. Silver Anniversary Bondathon 1. Skyfall 2. Casino Royale 3. SPECTRE 4. No Time To Die 5. Die Another Day 6. Q…

  • I watched QOS as part of my Silver Aninversary Bondathon. The editing in the action scenes is worse than I remember. It's atrocious. There would be more clarity if I tried to watch QOS, through a brick wall.
