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.

If the books were to be adapted as period pieces, I would prefer they discard anything Eon associated. Pretend those films never existed, and you're just adapting spy thriller novels into spy thriller films. They don't have to compete with MISSION: …

It makes me wonder if the rumors of Aaron Taylor-Johnson might have stemmed from him being picked by Nolan, given that they already worked together on TENET.

She did snag that scientist from him at one point before he bounced right back and re-captured him moments later. I took that as him being challenged and then showing up. Going by the car chase of DoD, I'm getting that same vibe. PWB is all talk,…

If OPPENHEIMER doesn't fare well at the box office, that would leave Nolan at a place where he needs to deliver a hit film before having his own pet project ever again. Delivering a hit Bond film would probably give him that needed boost. Also, Univ…

It'll be nice if the whole drama over PWB character turns out to all be for nothing, much like it was for Nomi in NTTD where Bond gives as good as he gets and some more.

Also surmising from a lot of others who actually did watch his stuff and saw how he went up his own ass at times to anticipate his audience. Like how he backtracked on PREY by changing his video titles after his viewers were like “what? This was act…
