  • I just keep reading that press release again, and the more I do the more annoyed it makes me. After over 3 years left in the dark, and just when it looks like things are beginning ti pick up steam, they are "thrilled" to announce that Bond 25 will b…
  • The people saying "its only another few months" forget that so was the last delay. These things add up. I don't appreciate being called names at any time, but when the production has been pushed back half a year from its original date, and I'm st…
  • The guy entertained us for over a decade in the role, and remained loyal to the series even in his final days. To not recognise his contributions and mark his passing with a simple one sentence tribute at the end of the film would be a massive insul…

  • I think it is because the film is vague and subtle about some things. The message is left to kind of wash over you, especially as that music kicks in with the last line of the film. I think maybe because it's not so explicit, there's less you can po…

  • Heat (1995) I don't know a film which holds up better than this one. It literally could have been filmed yesterday, it feels like. I think it has something to do with being alone, as the two main characters are isolated. But there are also som…

  • Thanks bazza for out me on to this thread, a place for old school fans like me who remember the 1962 - 2002 period and remember what Bond was. Perhaps this is a marvelous opportunuty to get a few things off my chest? Firstly, I have to take issue wi…
  • Its definitely a drop in quality in the modern era. Even a film like Die Another Day is enjoyable and comforting to watch. I don't get that sense from any of the Craig films. The only Craig Bond I rank ahead of any of the Brosnan outings is CR, and …

  • These guys and gals seem to hang out at a lot of parties together. Makes me suspect there might be something to his casting. The guy just looks like a Bond villain. I could see him as SPECTRE agent number 2. Perhaps he is running the show while Blof…

  • The Mule Saw this last week at the cinema. My favourite movie of last year. Funny, sad, and sometimes thrilling. I saw some inspirations from Sorcerer (1977).
  • Why did he start doing that?
