The Wiz is no more? I didn't agree with everything he said but he was smart and funny as well as abrasive and insulting. I'm gonna miss him around, but I'm surprised he lasted this long. I bet it was the religious thread that did him in, which is…

The election of Trump to POTUS has accelerated the collapse of the American Empire. It is a signifier of everything that is wrong with the political system and the division in the country. The only credible alternative to Trump was Sanders. I sti…

People need to temper the call for Campbell return. He's nearly 75. At the current rate of Eon produced films he'll be 80 before they even consider doing Bond 26.

Title Track: DN (bond theme wins it. None of Brosnan era title songs standout to me. Although GE is the best of them. Turner is an iconic voice and the opening bars are great but the song never really soars.) Title Credits: GE (while the visuals …

So I'm assuming Cashley Persia is the JBR podcast's insider? They seem to mention Lily James in their latest episode?

The Beach has two central problems. One is Di Caprio's character is unlikeable and Boyle has been forthright in admitting that he and Hodge got halfway through filming when they realised they didn't actually like their lead character. The seco…

Then again a talented, Oscar winning director thought that making Bond's greatest rival also Bond's foster brother was a good idea.

Just make the thing entertaining. Have a central plot that doesn't revolve around Bond, but something he tries and succeeds to solve. He's a secret agent (an English secret agent from England) and that's his job. It can be done without having to str…

Why not a faithful interpretation of Fleming's Quantum of Solace short story as a Harold Pinteresque stage play filmed like Von Trier's Dogville? That should get the Marvel and Mission Impossible fans rolling into the theatres.
-
Flashbacks to Bond's father?! What fresh lunacy is this?! Guess it's lucky none of us are working for EON!
-
No to Blanchett as well. She's done that in kingdom of the crystal skull and latest Thor movie. If it's to be a female villain then they should cast continental European actress. But they've done the old obvious bait and switch with Sophie Marcea…

Tilda Swinton and Helena Bonham Carter are great actors but I couldn't name two more obvious female villains. They could be a fine fit for some other role in the film but I hope they don't cast either of them in villainous roles. I don't want to see…

Yeah - I don't want them referencing events in past bond films but I do want them to incorporate established elements. Naval Uniform, Q giving the gadgets, M in his office giving an 'eyes only' document to Bond, - I'd even like an army on army battl…

I can't see Boyle going down that road. He strikes me as a guy who would want to uphold the past qualities of Bond. Cool and debonair. I don't see where 'suffering mental illness and depression' leads the character or the plot. Instead I sense that …

Chris has timed his return perfectly! Looking forward to hearing the podcast when I get the chance. Great rumour on David Arnold!
-
Yes @Benny - I think they could easily adapt '007' into a modern score without going for the traditional bombastic version - (on a side-note: the versions in FRWL and TB are my favourites.) Not only did Boyle use the track in T2 but he had one of…
-
Boyle does 'cool' fairly naturally. Trainspotting has a special swagger to it. He also uses music well, from Trainspotting's iconic soundtrack to MIA's paper planes in Slumdog millionaire to 007 theme used in T2. While that's commercial song use he …
