  • It does amuse me how it was literally, title and date, and nothing else. Didnt even try and dress this one up.
  • The Hitman 3 reviews are now coming out and the consensus is that is it pretty fantastic. Lots of 9/10’s being awarded. Certainly bodes well for our man Bond.

  • @PDJamesBond They (MGM) borrowed money to finance the film, with interest. The longer it takes to pay back, the more interest paid. It was reported at an additional $1m per month.
  • Will give me some time to save up and buy the lovely RGT Wax Canvas Jacket, as seen in the film, ready for premiere day... or do I go in the N Peal Commando Sweater? Decisions decisions...

  • I just finished, and platinum’d at the same time, Bugsnax on PS5. Really fun game with surprisingly well written characters and an engaging story,
  • Does Bond eat during the meal with Kamal in OP? Stuffed sheeps head. Yummy. Also I think Bond and Aubergine are eating during their chat, whilst watching the butterflies, in AVTAK.

  • When Casino Royale came out I was 15, and at that precarious time going through teenage-hood and starting to shake out into a more mature teen. To see that maturity and seriousness, that comes with going through that age, reflected in my favourit…

  • Roger Deakins now joins Sam Mendes as a Knight. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-55330387 Many congratulations.
  • @Benjamin_Weekly69 I’m not sure I can agree with that, I just watched the movie in 4k UHD Blu-ray and the picture was phenomenal, even more so the IMAX shot and framed sequences. As for the sound mix , an educated guess would be that the movie wa…

  • @TripAces Not to derail the thread even further, but I agree wholeheartedly with your comments r.e. Newman. Yes it is a bit jarring and somewhat disappointing when the SF action cues reappear in SP (the character themes I understand) but that was a …
  • Watching it now, and whilst it is a very watchable film, the moment your brain engages with anything that is going on, it all falls apart. I hope Lea Seydoux has more to do in NTTD, a great actress with a very thinly written character here,

  • @ToTheRight I dont think so. To be honest, there wasnt much of an audience, maybe 8 people total, myself included. It was a lunchtime screening but am sad cinema attendance is so low. The cinema had all its covid compliant regs in order as well.
  • Went to see Wonder Woman 1984 in IMAX today. Great film and definitely a big screen experience. One day, it will be the full film...
  • Wonder Woman 1984 in IMAX. Lucky enough to live in an area where cinemas are open and one that has an IMAX screen. If there was ever a need for a film that demands the biggest screen and the best, loudest audio, this is it. A fantastic film fr…
