  • A possible release date but not a probable one. If it does open in October we will all be required to wear masks and leave a gap between us and strangers for sure.

  • MGM is a relic living off its former glories. The sooner the bond franchise goes elsewhere the better
  • Tv now attracts the talents and the budgets of film. I suppose a 2 hour story in film is really only that format because of the limitations of the 1920/30s and there being no alternative. Cinema increasingly seems to me an anachronism. For a star…

  • November does seem a strange call to me. The numbers will be higher I think regardless of vaccinations in November than in august.
  • I really hope so. Putting life on hold and my kids childhoods on hold to an extent is kind of wearing but necessary. But I keep saying to them that one day we will look back and be proud that we got through it. Time to get those jabs and move on …
  • Contis gun barrel is one of my faves. Bond 77 is great. Otherwise both suffer from a distinct lack of subtlety and use bombast in place of beauty
  • Well I correctly predicted that both dates, nov 2020 and April 2021 were fanciful as soon as they were released. Let’s see if I can make it a round 3. I would say November at the earliest. The earliest. And even then I wouldnt be surprised if it …
  • I like that Luke is a crabby old loner. His experience of the force is death and destruction. But there is no pay off in TLJ. He should have just physically gone to Krait, fought kylo REN in person and then we have a satisfying Resolution. As it…
  • On another note, I just subscribed to Disney plus. I own the 2004(?) dvds still of Star Wars trilogy and I have to say I’m blown away by the clarity and colour correction on the new Disney plus versions.
  • Pretty sure you can see the difference in hamills face here https://sciencefiction.com/2018/12/02/mark-hamill-not-seen-star-wars-holiday-special/

  • There is a guy on YouTube called Luke towan who is just incredible. Well worth a watch.
  • Must admit over lockdown (and since having kids) I’ve done a little model making. It’s an extremely therapeutic way to pass time. I like what you have done here. 👍🏻
  • Am I right in thinking this was filmed just after mark hamills car crash. His make up on the version I’ve seen is very heavy.
  • Disney for all their Faults run the business angle of their empire with staggering efficiency and returns

  • Interesting points. I do like the character of Finn. But his story arc is none existent. Luke: idealistic farm boy who yearns for adventure. We learn he has a dark family history. His family are murdered and he learns about the force from a myste…

  • I just finished mando season 2. Excellent overall. And Interesting reading some of the viewpoints on fandom. I love Star Wars. It was by far the biggest impact on me film wise as a kid in the early 80s. But I agree that parts of the fan base are …
  • Their losses are not just financial. There must be a hell of a lot of stress and fatigue associated with it all. It’s quaint that suck a huge property is still owned by one family, I’m sure they must be tempted to go down the George Lucas route and…
  • But part of me wonders whether the big screen series is finished As we know it. Or at least going to go on a hiatus, or major revision based on budgets. There can’t be a 200 mill plus film made now for years. It’s too big a gamble. So what do they d…

  • I think this could be great - a streaming service option that does a period piece faithful adaptation of flemings novels. It already sounds like an attractive pitch.
  • End of May / early June would seem to me to make sense in a situation with only bad answers. Lighter evenings, warmer temperatures, before summer holidays etc. Easter is statically more likely to snow in Britain than Christmas so I don’t know what t…
