  • I agree with everyone that the MI6 crew need their roles cut down considerably for awhile. That being said, I would like to see Ponsonby and May get a chance to get some screen time. They are another way for Bond to change as a person between era to…
  • I’m not opposed to a female Q. John Gardener did it. Let’s just hope she wouldn’t be as awkward as John Cleese was portrayed. In particular they should avoid how John Gardner wrote her and her incident with Bond. If Phoebe Waller-Bridge is cast, the…

  • In the interview, Horowitz says he hasn't been approached about a fourth. I think he should end with a trilogy, he had 3 general well received hits. He probably wants to go on a high note. And he honestly should. We don’t need another John Gardner, …

  • As we are less than a week away from Ian Fleming’s 115th birthday, do you think we will get an announcement from IFP or EON? I think we could from IFP. Kim Sherwood is doing a lot of press with her writing career for awhile. I think Book 2 will offi…

  • The King of Comedy (1982). A underrated Scorsese movie. Fun, and with a bit of a message: keep yourself in control. As my dad says, Scorsese always has a great music soundtrack. Two other people who can always say the same are Quentin Tarantino and …
  • Apparently, Donald Pleasence's other ideas for Blofeld's appearance included a hump, a limp, a beard, and a lame hand, before he settled on the scar. I think these ideas would work for Blofeld, along with his OHMSS his unhealthy nose or YOLT good to…

  • I keep hearing it’s better than Crystal Skull. I’m just happy that we got another Indy film. A controversial opinion of mine, is that Indiana Jones could have been like James Bond as a continuation franchise. There would always be a artifact or a th…

  • Happy birthday Pierce. Enjoy your day as we’ve enjoyed your career.
  • I find it unique that we're talking about digital cinematography on the Indy thread, as his creator was arguably the first major director to use it fully on a movie. Ironically, Spielberg told Lucas that he would film Indy 4 with a film camera. Luca…
