I just picked up Batman: Resurrection by John Jackson Miller. It's set between the two Tim Burton movies. He signed my book today! Clayface is reinvented brilliantly, fitting into Tim Burton's Gotham City. The reviews are great. I should be reading …

Contemporary. That's how Fleming wrote him. When authors (namely Sebastian Faulks) set Bond in the past, there's less creative risk with the story. A Bond book's legacy is more of a challenge when it's set in the present day. It's always a bolder ch…

Due to EON and their heavier use of the MI6 and my usual writing of ensemble casts, here's my opinions. On who could play the recurring regulars in a three-four-five arc. If EON gave me a bit of creative control, don't judge me! James Bond: Asa B…

I like all these alternative titles for Indy 4 and 5, @mtm @Mendes4Lyfe @thedove I’m just happy that Indy 4 wasn’t called The Saucermen or Attack of the Giant Ants (George Lucas’ suggestions) or The Son of Indiana Jones (David Koepp’s suggestion). D…

Also, Grand L. Bush responded to me on instagram. Best part of the day! Thanks again everyone for putting up with my ramblings about Bond (and other characters). I’m happy to share these opinions with you all, and don’t worry: James Bond will return.

I do want to wish Blofeld performer Donald Pleasence a happy birthday today. Thanks for the great performances, you are missed. As for who could play Blofeld in the future, I did think Peter Sarsgaard at one point. I do want a more physically active…

Glad to see some Telly Savalas Blofeld fans! Ironically @peter @mtm @DarthDimi @FoxRox Richard Maibaum said that Telly’s Blofeld should have had a European accent. Also it’s great to see that Blofeld can have a future in the franchise. I see a prope…

Joker Folie a Deux. Where do I begin with this uniqueness? Joker 1 was possibly just lighting in a bottle. While the acting is great (namely Lady Gaga), the script needed a rewrite. It is way too slow in many places. If the filmmakers wanted us to f…

After watching Joker: Folie a Deux, Todd Philips has said that this is why Joker 1 & 2 were made with a bit of satire. He says he can't make comedies anymore because people are offended by them. So, humor is like cartoons, is often of it's time.…
