Eh, I don’t think S1 or 2 is a good reflection of Captain Archer. “Strange New World” (the episode, not the series) is like a prime example of making Archer to look like a total doofus who seems to want to wing it. There’s this approach in the first…

The show looks its best in S4, ironically because of the switch from celluloid film to digital cameras (the same ones Lucas used). Converting film footage to HD masters was rather imperfect in the early 2000s. Which makes me wish the first three sea…

I swear this forum is the only place on Earth where folks drop Aidan Turner’s name and from what I’ve seen he’s as boring of a choice as Henry Cavill.

I don’t believe in Eon’s denial of there being script. In all of their existence there has ALWAYS been a script in development, even during long hiatuses. Eon is incredibly coy about behind the scenes stuff.
-
Honestly, we’ll only know for sure that Eon had picked an actor if they set plans for a big press release. Eon LOVES nothing more than big press releases. I’d say we should wait for that sort of thing before seriously considering that something big …

That make think, which was the most topical Bond film? I think it would have to be TLD. It was the most brazen with Bond actually participating with the Mujahideen in the battlefield against Soviet troops, with Joe Don Baker being undoubtedly influe…

For sure, and it’s understandable considering how actors get hate by fans over STAR WARS. I for a long time assumed Jake Lloyd was impacted by fan hate the same way Ahmed Best, Daisy Ridley, and Kelly Marie Tran got. Jake seems to be luckier in t…

Yeah, so far SF is the only Bond film shot primarily on digital because it was Deakins’ preferred choice.

It’s definitely a deliberate style done to evoke a specific mood for the film. Bond movies have rarely done that with their cinematography, so it’s understandable that it may be off putting to those who are so used to past Bond films shooting scenes…
-
You can now bet that Cillian Murphy is official on Eon’s short list of Bond villain casting, as the last three Bond villains have all been Oscar winners.

Those are brilliant!

I have to ask, what is wrong with Poe being quippy there? Because that’s exactly how he was introduced in TFA when meeting Kylo Ren. “So, who talks first? You talk first? I talk first?”. Only he’s now a bit cockier after having blown up their Starki…

It’s kind of amazing just how divisive TLJ is, there’s almost no middle ground. It’s either one of the strongest entries or it’s the worst of all time. I really wonder how much its rep will change in the coming years. TESB was at its release seen…

I rank TLJ third on my list, but it in the long run could have been better served as part of Episode VII. TFA sets up an intriguing premise with Skywalker having disappeared and that the new heroes have to find him, but then the movie decides to go …

I enjoyed TROS in theaters, it’s fun and breezy, but I can also acknowledge it’s creatively lazy and doesn’t work as a “final chapter”.
-
TROS seemed to have been damned no matter what. I think Disney should have given TROS an extra year of development, especially in light of Fisher’s passing. Their insistence on sticking with the ST coming out every two years really hurt it. Should h…
