  • I know media intrusion has been around for a long time but the level has intensified so much more than Rog would have had to dealt with. Its not like anyone is going to pap Moore now as he's not news at the same level but the new Bond with his newi…

  • Fincher or Affleck would have no problem delivering a great Bond film, I'd love to see Fincher but it's most unlikely I would have thought Ben is more likely, mostly because I don't think DF would want to do it but he might who knows, whereas Afflec…
  • TDKR was not only the worst Bat Film, it is Nolan's worst film period, when I saw it at the cinema I thought it was great but was little mixed up the hype of seeing it. A second watch on Blu ray made me think it was bloated and the worse of the tri…
  • I would'nt be disappointed with Affleck, Argo was quality and he shows a real talent for suspense, the opening of Argo is particularly tense. I still see it being a Brit if I know Eon with Oscar in the equation but who knows.
  • I would say the Bond and Pussy Galore so called seduction in the barn in Series darling Goldfinger is up for criticism, there is clear case for saying Bond forced himself on her some would say even rape but no we can't take a pop at that because tha…

  • I sometimes wonder if we are discussing a film that was shunned and got a underwhelming boxoffice, the point is that if some of you got your way all the Bond films would be made like the Glen films, no real identity just as long as we tick those box…

  • I love the TLD pts but to say it's much better than any in SF, I can't see Glen as some kind of under appreciated genius. I thought the SF pts was terrific and Craig's best action sequence yet. Glen never topped his 2nd unit on OHMSS, none of Dal…
  • Apologies guys I can't keep with all this yahoos aliases, flagged.
  • From Religion to Bullseye in a few post, priceless!
  • While I don't go as far as our friend Wizard, organised religion has some of the biggest examples of hypocrisy in history and the well documented covering up of paedophiles by the Catholic Church shouldn't surprise some that some of us aren't as imp…

  • Ratner directing a Bond film? I think I'm having a nightmare, that man ruined X3 and then took a brilliant book like Red Dragon and made a pedestrian thriller with none of the class of Silence of The Lambs, letting him near Bond, yes I would start u…

  • I'm very much looking forward to this, the trailer has me anticipating this considerably.

  • Can't wait for Series 3, getting 3 more high quality feature films that pretty much outstrip the majority blockbusters released every year. Sherlock on the big screen would be something to see, love to Moffatt & Gattis pull that one off would…
  • Gustav you need to let this Nolan thing go, he's not directing Bond 24 or any Bond film for that matter, I doubt he'll ever get to direct one, yes he's said he'd like to but so did Spielberg and that never happened. Nolan needs far more control o…

  • Hooper or Wright certainly wouldn't be names I'd be unhappy to see getting hired, I think it could very well be between these two although I like the idea of Branagh. As much as I'm a fan of Nolan I'm glad he's ruled out as now we can stop all th…
  • No to Richie, his Sherlock Holmes were OK but Moffatt & Gattis pretty much made them redundant and felt much more like the literary character as opposed to some Indianna Jones type action adventure effort. As for the rest of his C.V, I was one …
  • I wouldn't let Morel anywhere near a Bond film, I was one of those who was flabbergasted the praise Taken got, it was like a Commando rip off without the camp and no humour. How about Paul McGuigan? He did such a great job with Sherlock. To be h…
