  • Not forgetting the Catalan Cannibal.

  • Zekidk wrote: » RC7 wrote: » Your colour correction sucks the atmosphere and life out of the shots completely. I just don't like the intense colorgrading in both movies. The bar scene in SF is all orange and does not look natural. Remov…
  • I was always averse to the grade on SP as far back as the trailers. I didn't understand the lack of vibrancy in the Mexico scenes, but I've learned to live with it and can accept Mendes' decision. I would've preferred a more vibrant palette. Howe…

  • Wright is great at what he does. He isn't a Bond director.
  • There's an arrogance with Islam that simply isn't there with other religions. To be fair, I'm not sure many British Muslims are aware of it because they live it and thus can't see how it can be construed as such. To them it's just fact that theirs i…

  • If there's one thing I'm sad to see post-SP is that it appears to me quite a few fans who were pretty happy with CR thru SF have let their dislike/hatred of SP cast a cloud over the previous entries (I'm aware that's not everyone). Despite some n…
