There's such little news on Bond at the moment even the tabloids have gone quiet... (:|

I know everyone is fed up with spectre, but it seems there's heightened geopolitical tensions around the world at the moment (just this week in Taiwan) and if EON want to be topical without p***ing off a certain market, then spectre could be the ide…

Most bond films don't need to be over 2hrs 10 minutes. only OHMSS earns the extra time spent, because they had to really set up the love story for Tracy properly for the ending to have the right impact.

Sometimes I will put on "backseat driver" and am immediately reminded of when the bond scores had such flair and character to them. Compare TND to either of the Thomas Newman scores, there's no contest. bring arnold back for Bond 26.

It's seems like every big movie now is 2hrs 20 plus. Even the new Indiana jones, which has always been around the 2 hr mark. Dune, Oppenhiemer, John Wick, Mission Impossible, Bond 25... It feels like the conventions of pacing and cinema have b…

I know he is heavily touched up with cgi, but it just amazes me that Ford physically still looks the part even in his 80's!

Watch MI: dead reckoning blow everyone's socks off in a couple months. It's getting embarassing how far ahead tom cruises team is at the moment. EON really need to pull their finger out and up their game in the new era of films...

directors on the level of nolan don't just fall off. They may go through dry spells, but they don't simply disappear. Even spielberg has had a poor run of films in his career. If anything, the fact that Nolan hasn't had a smash hit in a while (I act…
