  • QoS does capture that FRWL feel of shifting perspectives. There are the bits with Dominic, the bits with M, the bits with Felix and the main focus on Bond. I do find the plot very intriguing. Its the first time we have Governments corruption as a pl…
  • I didn't say there was any reason for news. What I'm saying is that there is little we can rely on happening at the moment. Actually think about it. We don't know who will produce B25 (MGW may not be well enough), we don't know who will star, we don…
  • Exactly. The first is always the best, and the worst is (most often) the worst. So why are we all calling for tenures to get longer? IMO 3 - 5 Bond films should be the range for any actor. If they haven't done what they can with the character af…
  • If there was even the slightest whiff of news on the offing, that could give the whole community a much needed shot in the arm. There are about 3 or 4 massive decisions that have to be made before the franchise can continue, and sadly they all look …
  • Its such a sadness. I don't like SF, but I now envy that period (just 4 years ago), when Bond as a franchise seemed so secure and everything looked so positive for the future. Now everything is shattered, the energy is gone, and there is no word on …
  • Well, I'm glad Aidan Turner is holding his own. I didn't know he would be top 3 material amongst the hardcore fans, so if anything I'm more steadfast now that he has a good chance to be the next 007.
  • Bond and Blofeld having spent a brief time together as youngsters isn't the franchise destroying catastrophe that its made out to be. I have no idea why people treat the character of Blofeld as some sort of sacred cow that cannot be altered from the…

  • Brosnan and Craig are like a mirror image. One is the character not taken seriously enough, just gadgets, tux, quips, Martini (sorry brosnan fans). The other is Bond taken too seriously with personal back story and skeletons from his past. Aidan …
  • Halloween is a perfect Horror film for me.
  • GUYS, GUYS, did you hear?? They are remaking John Carpenters Halloween and John Carpenter is actually involved this time!! Holy f#cking sh£t, I can't believe it!! The original Halloween is one of my favourite films of all time! After the failed r…
  • The Major is an absolute fruitcake if I recall.
  • I like the Irish cop. The one who kidnaps Jess and takes her to the embassey with him? And those brother and sister are there hiding from being taken back to their home country? Remember? And there is a murder in the garden at nighttime? I liked tha…

  • Could I actually write a proper treatment for B25 and post it here. Is there a more suitable thread?
