As long as there’s humor in Bond that makes me smile, that’s enough. I don’t need Nolan to deliver knee slappers.

This was surprisingly good. (Spoiler)

Because Eon can get away with it. Nobody looked at the poster for SKYFALL and thought “wow, I’m skipping that one”. I don’t mind the minimalistic approach. Not everything needs to be pop art. The NTTD teaser poster is my least favorite though. It…

To be fair it was probably a coincidence with INTERSTELLAR, as it was originally a Spielberg joint before he handed it to Nolan. Curious if Bond would break him away from one word titles again. So far only Batman has done that.

Given the kind of film TOD is I think that’s okay that Mola Ram isn’t three dimensional. He’s a voodoo cult leader, there’s nothing nuanced there.

I like her over Donovan, who’s kind of bland but that’s not Julian Glover’s fault as he was better as Kristatos.

I thought Blanchett gave a lot more character to the part than the script actually offers. The only weak link in the cast when it comes to the acting department is Karen Allen, who by that point was taken out of retirement to reprise her role and it…

Cutting out Mac cleans up a whole lot. I’d keep Indy and Mutt, with Marion and Oxley serving as support much like the way Brody and Sallah did in THE LAST CRUSADE. Instead of Spalko trailing Indy via homing devices left by Mac, she actually uses …

The 4K remaster? Yeah. Paramount+ has all the films in 4K. I think the only place you could find the outdated 2008 blu-ray transfer these days is on the old disc itself.

Just revisited CRYSTAL SKULL. I never hated it. It’s not as good as the first three, but I never thought it was the travesty so many claim it to be. Also thought Ford and LaBeouf had very good chemistry. I always felt Mutt was overhated becaus…

I was skeptical of the show when it originally came out, in fact I didn’t actually watch it when the episodes originally aired. Wasn’t until good word of mouth hit that I decided to give it a shot. I think the ending of the second episode “Envoys…

You’re really missing out on Lower Decks by just only dismissing it after one episode. You praise S3 of Picard partly because it’s made by someone who undoubtedly loves Star Trek. This is absolutely the case with Lower Decks as well. It couldn’t hav…

I mean, that thread and this basically serve the same purpose at this point.

I think the soufflé scene would have been included in the Donner cut if Lester had filmed it the way it was written. INT. FORTRESS - NIGHT EXTREME CLOSEUP of SUPERMAN and LOIS, their faces filling the screen, looking softly at each other. …

“Dour” is too strong a word I think for BATMAN BEGINS. It’s not a Lewis Gilbert film, but I’d say it’s more of a crowd pleaser than QUANTUM OF SOLACE was.
-
Why is it that detractors always focus on the ROI? “Hey, SKYFALL is the highest grossing Bond film! Good for them!” “Oh yeah?! But it doesn’t beat DR. NO’s ROI, does it?! What a failure!”
-
Kinda surprised they haven’t at this point. I’m more surprised that for the bonus features they didn’t include all the deleted footage of II. The Donner Cut disc had all the deleted footage that didn’t make it in his cut, but the Lester disc only…

You said you’re not a fan of his films, I can understand if all his films kind of just blur together as if there’s little to no variance between. Kind of like how the CraigNotBond crowd dismissed all of Craig’s films as “dour”. My point is that i…

If David Arnold couldn’t bring back the 007 theme, I don’t think anyone will. That’ll always remain a John Barry thing.
