  • I think MGW is getting ready to leave his legacy of Bond in the near future. It will be sad when he does. Also, “People are playing it very safe. I think in times of crisis like this, you’ve got to be brave," Broccoli said. “It’s certainly a new …
  • https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/star-wars-rey-movie-simon-kinberg-1236059786/ As much as I like Rey, I just don't get Lucasfilm anymore. As I've said before, at least EON waits for the right time to announce things. Kathleen K…

  • The last month with the Penguin and Joker 2 brings up a continuous debate: Marvel might make better movies on average, while DC makes the better TV shows on average. Clearly, Matt Reeves was the right choice to guide Batman in more than one way. As …
  • In memory of Tony Todd, here is one of his last projects, as a villain.
  • I'm in. If they kill off Ethan Hunt, that's a shame. Tom Cruise could do these movies for a long time. Hopefully, this one won't bomb at the box office, or copy Bond too much again. That submarine sequence looks similar to TWINE. These last two MI m…
  • Apparently, this information was reported on another Bond Blog. Many younger fans may not be aware of this, but IFP picked up a lot fan suggestions after Benson ended his tenure and IFP announced - more than 20 years ago now - there wouldn’t imme…
