  • Don't worry @Birdleson, you aren't the only one. I'm constantly updating my lists as well. I can't help it, its so rare that I end a film with the exact same opinion of it as when I started, if that makes sense.

  • I've just realised that if Martin Campbell returns it'll be virtually the same length of time between GE and CR. I think that would be epic. 3 different Bond introduction spanning over 3 decades, woah! I think I want Campbell to return more than any…

  • Elba looks so old now. He's aged overnight, like a pear. Hiddleston looks older too. I know he's only 35, but he looks closer to 40 IMO. Maybe its just his haircut.

  • The bookies have suspended betting on Hiddleston.

  • I'm not offended, thanks for that knee-jerk assessment. I just think 20 odd white villains and 1 black villain is a little askew. I mean, could you imagine if they made the villain black almost every time. Talk about offense then...
  • Is Mr White racist? If there was a new Bond villain who was black and called Mr Black and who was evil, would that not be considered some sort of stereotype?
