  • It would be odd if M does not express frustration with 007.
  • The Untouchables is on a higher level and stands up over time. Very satisfying. The Rock is fun and once it gets moving it becomes better and better. But becomes dated today and has some unnecessary crass content in poor taste early on.
  • So I saw it this afternoon. Pretty much loved it. Most already know it's longer at 2.5 hours. Also a smaller scale film than Fury Road, which makes sense while the filmmakers pull off dazzling stunts and concepts of war. George Miller has asse…

  • Guts for Garters.
  • To my tastes I wouldn't have cast a female M twice, or even once. Wouldn't have filmed CR in 2006 with other than Brosnan as 007. And would not ever have been on board with a child character having a significant role let alone a proposal it could …
