It's getting out of hand these days, John Wick 4, Dune 2, Oppenhiemer all close to 3 hours long. It seems like the 2hr action film is a dying format which is kinda sad considering so many of the best popcorn films of all time are only 2 hrs or less.

For me post 2012 has been like a long autumn, and I hope 2021 - 2025 is the winter while the backstage shuffling takes place and then they can bounce back with something vibrant and fresh in 2026 that carries the series forward. There's only been 2 …

The bond films have been immensely successful, but other franchises are really starting to catch up and it's getting worrying. I'd be shocked if MI:7 doesn't at least flirt with to the billion dollar mark this summer given the remarkable goodwill …

I wonder if Nolan winning best director or cillian winning best actor at next years oscars would have any impact on whether he becomes the next Bond director. Imagine Nolan wins an award and a few months later they announce he's directing the next j…

I agree with everything in post except I think its a little unrealistic to have a new film EVERY 2 years. But he's right that the Craig films are dull. Even if you liked Bond 25, you have to admit the film doesn't exactly leave you on a high, sam…

Eh? Brosnan had a whole campaign to become Bond willed into existence from the general public seeing him as perfect for the role (and in the days before the Internet, mind you).

In a little over a month's time things should be a lot clearer. If the writers strike goes ahead at least we'll know not to get excited about news for the foreseeable future, and we can fully prepare ourselves to be in for the long haul.

just my 2 cents: I think in situations where everyone is giving as good as they get you just have to issue a general warning and chaulk off the encounter for both parties. What irks me is when there's a heated debate and then the moderators come …

hard to believe its already been 18 months since Bond 25 released. If this were the old days we'd be gearing up for the next film coming out at the end of the year. :-<
