As far as influential spy thrillers? There’s nothing obvious now, not like how BOURNE was in the 2000s. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE has coexisted with Bond for nearly 30 years now, and if anything, that has taken a lot more cues from Craig Bond than the …

TEMPLE OF DOOM was my first Indy film, so that might account for why I would rank it at the top. I like RAIDERS but have come to not be as fond of it over time, might even go as far as calling it overrated.

I thought it was already revealed awhile ago why Boyle left. He’s what’s known as a “writer’s director”. He started the project with John Hodge and had every intention of working with him up to the end. But Eon wanted to bring in other writers for r…

I rather the filmmakers do what they want rather than pander to fans.

The brofeld thing never bothered me too much because it wasn’t even that integral enough. You could literally cut out all references and it wouldn’t have much of an impact on the actual plot.

That mania element is something I think Christoph Waltz really does well. Right up to the end when his first response after being nearly choked to death Bond is “cuckoo!!” with a big grin on his face. Just the fact that he got under Bond’s skin and …

A hard reboot doesn’t necessarily mean going back to the beginning. They can do a hard reboot and still start anew like DN.

That ending with Superman flying up in the skies of Metropolis was the PERFECT ending for JL. Maybe keep the Lex bit as a post-credit as it was originally intended, or just delete it entirely since it was originally meant to set up Affleck’s THE BAT…

It’s so weird thinking of BvS with all the set ups that haven’t been paid off. Actually the worst is Snyder filming a new epilogue for JL despite knowing he’ll never actually follow it up. My big issue with his JL is that it’s clearly not the fil…

The negative reception of BvS must have really took the wind out of his sails, as he slowly opted out of DC after JL. But he also had his own personal issues he has to tend to rather than try keeping up with the DC machine. It’s too bad, I would …

CBS made a licensing deal with Amazon for the UK and other territories for PICARD before Paramount+ became available. Any territory not part of that deal is able to just go straight to Paramount+, so it all depends where. Sort of like how Netflix ha…

I’m told for the UK it’s released Friday at midnight on Amazon Prime.

This seems promising… but so was the first two or three episodes of S2 and we saw how that all went. Fingers crossed. I do dig the use of music. It’s not just familiar Goldsmith themes but they even used incidental pieces like when Picard finds his …

Fair enough. Given how I felt about NTTD, I have no problems with how the producers conduct their business. I rather they make Bond films on their own time than not.

This is why I like the first set of films a lot better because they feel like different versions of the same universe with each director having their own take on it. Like Hunt practically having a new IMF director with each film and they’re all very…
