I just finished reading the Crystal Skull novelization. It was more enjoyable than the movie. I couldn’t put it down at times. Indy truly deserves a book series, again. I wouldn’t mind seeing spin-offs of Marion, Helena and surprisingly, Mutt. Great…

Some things that I would change in Batman's history if I could. 1. ALWAYS have Bill Finger be credited with Bob Kane. Bill made Batman the character that we love. Bob Kane is like the Joker: different ways of telling history, when others tell his l…

If we’re talking about jokes in the future Bond movies, a thought strikes me. Then, I REALLY don’t want Purvis and Wade, and an art house type of writer and director be put in charge. A lot of the crew of late haven’t had a lot of comedy work. We do…

Mostly original, with some Fleming chapters used. EON should only use die or kill for one reason. If it’s the title of a continuation novel that they choose to adapt.

Michael G Wilson once said that EON starts making a FRWL, then they end up with another TB. I don’t think EON focuses too much on making a true classic, just something that’s enjoyable. TWINE is different in that regard. It’s like they wanted to cha…

Sometimes, I wish that Eidolon, Felix Leiter and Agent of Spectre were one big novel by IFP. I know that Agent of Spectre gets a lot of comparisons to Role of Honor, but with a big novel from IFP, the story could be better told. Plus, all stories co…

I always thought that Lucasfilm could have done more with Indiana Jones. Spielberg didn’t have to direct the 4th movie. He said that he was done with the series, after the trilogy. Lucas didn’t have to choose him to direct again. I think that Indy c…

I'd like to Sixtine from Forever and a Day to be adapted with her story. I like the idea of a female mentor for a younger Bond. EON should take a break from a true romance Bond for a while.
