  • I really like the points that everyone has made so far. I just always have Barbara Broccoli in mind, repeating how they want to keep the fans happy, yet they do everything to their own accord. I understand, I have no say in EON's business, but I …
  • I just want to point out, that not a single Bond composer after John Barry attempted to use jazz chords in a score. Barry had a very unique sense for using chords to make a scene sexy or suspenseful and I haven't heard anything like that in a long t…
  • I think 'NTTD' should be repeatedly delayed by a week, just to mess with cinema goers.

  • How does that make any earthly sense? 'NTTD' is from 2019. What does it matter if it's not the newest model? The brand is still being advertised! Bond may not be fully tethered to this reality, but it's still close enough that the reality of the fil…
  • I'm of the suspicion that if 'NTTD' were to come out today via streaming (then given a theater release at a later date), it'd be no greater financial loss than keeping it on the shelf until an undisclosed time in the future.

  • EON and MGM panicked because of Trump's diagnosis. Simple as that. They would have spared everyone if they had just delayed the film indefinitely from the get go. Everyone at the studios sees what the climate is like, so why spend so much money on r…
  • I don't think anyone would be particularly upset if we hadn't been lead on over and over again. That's precisely what's been going on. Now, I know we haven't dealt with a global situation like this since the second decade of the 20th century, but an…

  • I think it would be fair to say that he wouldn't "slit his wrists" because 25 mil is too hard to pass up. I will be very interested to see if that price motivated him to go out with a bang or gave him the assurance to phone it in...

  • I'll say it again: Barbara Broccoli, herself, has stated that it'll be up to the fans/audience as to how they want their entertainment in the future, and that was in regards to VOD. So, at this point, I really don't think anything is out of the ques…
