  • Its a matriarchy over at EON? Guess Bond has a female M after all. B-)

  • Goldfinger Does anyone else think this film is just slightly too camp? I usually don't think this, but something about this viewing reminded me of 60's Batman. Regardless, Goldfinger is the ultimate balancing act. Everything is weighted perfec…
  • The only way they could shake it up again is if Liam gets taken BY his daughter.

  • 150 million and a run time of 2 hours for B25 would do fine.

  • I have no idea why they don't make Bond films half an hour shorter and they are at the moment. Surely that would help keep the costs down.
  • peter wrote: » If Goode, or Mendes4, don't like the direction of the series, that's a matter of personal opinion. As is the alternative. Don't confuse quality with success.
  • To be fair, I agree with his comments.
  • Forgive me if I am mistaken, but wasn't it said that a deal would be struck in the first half of 2016?
