  • The English PL is the most valued league by fans worldwide. Whether the ‘best’ football is on display is a moot point. It’s the most popular. That’s just fact.

  • If it is to be Boyle and Craig it’s about as close to a home town Bond movie as I’ll get. Bring the northern swagger.
  • As a neutral I’d quite like to see Liverpool v Bayern (Don’t think it’s happened competitively for nearly 40 years) and City v Barca.
  • Very poor on the part of the insurers.

  • I’m pretty certain Campbell will never make another Bond movie. By the time they get around to shooting B26, he’ll be pushing 80 and while he’s a guy who keeps himself in shape, I worry it would be a step too far. More importantly, I don’t think the…
  • It was the sound editor on the trailer who suggested using OHMSS. It wasn’t EON or Mendes. It was floated in the edit and Barbara bought it. That’s not to say the parallels were lost on them, but it wasn’t as deliberate as one might think. After all…
  • I think I’m the only fan who didn’t mind the SP explosion, in principal, but you can’t get away with it if your film is viewed as under par. The main issue I have is not so much the explosion, but the decision to digitally render the base into the s…
  • I never think of Waltz, or SP when I watch CR. Perhaps that’s because I’d seen that movie 30-40 times between 06-15, but either way I feel sorry for those that do. Despite the efforts of SP to connect the narrative, it’s really quite flaccid and nev…

  • Absolutely delightful. Great to stick one up them after the Fab Four fawning.
  • Unless I’m mistaken (I can’t recall the details) but I don’t believe Nolan ever inferred that he’d pitched his concept to EON, merely that they’d spoken (informally). Either way, I don’t believe someone in his position would do that. He doesn’t need…
  • I’ve said it before - I still don’t understand the now accepted view that ‘if’ Nolan does it, he’ll do a trilogy. If the guy has anything about him and is as savvy in his knowledge of the films as he claims then I don’t see why a trilogy is appealin…
  • I’m surprised by the number of people who haven’t seen a Boyle. I wouldn’t call him ‘niche’, per se.

  • Danny is a very versatile director. There’s no doubt he can do Bond. For those latching onto the ‘pure movie gold’ quote, don’t. One of the inevitable platitudes encountered at this stage.
