If I were JK I would have kept everything quiet on the potter front, not done the cursed child or the fantastic beasts films, and spent the last 10 years plotting out a new set of potter films, set when Harry's kid is at hogwarts. By now they could …

Here's my one sentence pitch for Bond 26: the humanised, relatable Craig Bond in a TSWLM style out and out fantasy Roger Moore film. Now I Know what you're thinking. But that's Skyfall, surely? No, Skyfall is a story about the old ways are the b…

A very crucial lesson for EON to take on board for Bond 26: camp does not always equal bad. There is a way to stay on the right side of camp, where the audience goes along for the ride. You can have a fantastical, gallivanting, spectacle bond advent…

Bond 25 I consider this film to be this generations Die Another Day in terms of jumping the shark in many respects, but something I noticed recently is the film is structured the wrong way round. In order to have a true parallel with OHMSS (which…

Call me crazy, but I personally prefer the ending scene of die another day, as cheesy as it is, to any of the Craig film endings, because we actually see bond enjoying himself with a woman in a nice location. That notion seems so qauint nowadays, it…

I don't know why but Oct/Nov 2027 just feels right for Bond 26 to release. A new film to accompany the 65th anniversary just seems appropriate somehow.

There's barely any sex in movies anymore, which is strange because imagine if characters no longer ate anything in movies, or never got into arguments. It would seem very weird and unhumanlike. In many ways Mary Whitehouse was ahead of her time.

Making Craigs bond a continuing story arc, or tying them together.

I suspect from now on, we'll only get a new Bond film when Babs and Co feel it is the right time for one, since there is nothing pressuring them anymore. Even though this isn't ideal, and we'd all love to see consistent films being released, at the …

I honestly thought GF was the worst of the fleming books, besides TMWTGG. I much prefer the novels he wrote as a younger man, before he became too melancholic with age.

Youtube is reporting the budget of Ridley Scott's gladiator 2 has hit 310 million. With the boxoffice being the way it is, are we looking at yet another major financial flop, or could we see a Top Gun: Maverick style belated success story to top off…
