  • Jackman would have been a better Bond than Craig? Typical of Brosnan fans to think this. Personally I think that is utter bollocks!

  • Corbyn sound like a refreshing change to me. At least it's alternative not some watered down Tory Party like Tony suckered us all into back in 1997. The oppostion should be just that and not a paler diet version of the other side of the house.…
  • MI style Bond Team sounds like a bloody stupid idea. Not all of us want to take Tom Cruise in the alley and pleasure him like some I know. Can't stand the insufferable scientologist and certainly don't want his vastly overrated franchise influe…

  • Craig seems to get tarred with the personal angle but it didn't start in his era. Yes it's more intense but Brosnan was doing it from TWINE onwards. I don't necessarily think they'll jetison the idea entirely with the next Bond, probably not s…

  • Arctic Monkeys, ideal time for them to supply the theme.

  • Not made the film at all.

  • BBC News is just Tory Party propaganda, anyone trying to make out the BBC is lefty in their news programming currently isn't watching it anymore or is deluded or in denial. All of the news readers are tories and don't even hide it. They constant…

  • This is looking terrific, don't want to call too soon but if this is a hit and they've talked about DC's character being a modern day Poirot could this be a beginning of a new series? It would be great to have every few years a new whodunnit with…
  • I have no problem with the action in SF but quite few of those slagging it off are Brosnan fans and outside of GE all the action sequences onwards sent me to sleep. I agree the action sequences in the DC films do push the narrative on. The SF …
  • Alienist was huge disappointment, as someone who read the books over 20 years ago I'd waited for it be it a film or a TV series, if Netflix or HBO had done this it would have been much better but TNT. Not surprised it was a dud and neutered all the…
  • It's bloody awful, enough said. To not have problem with all it's crimes and say SF was worse is beyond me! SF has it's problems but they are nothing compared to crimes that SP's storyline and so called revelations or depth charges as that pra…

  • I'm greatly encouraged by no leaks, we'll hear news when we hear it. To be honest there is plenty of time once filming starts for the likes of Baz to ruin all the surprises, imagine going into Skyfall not knowing Dench's M was going to die. On…

  • Darkest Hour 2017 Gary Oldman is brilliant but he usually is, his ability to be not just be a man in a suit with prosthetics is commendable. Although this is more of a testament to Oldman as an actor but not anything better than his Dracula for …
  • I have no problem with lightening things with the next Bond actor but we've had far more lighter films than darker, though listening to entitled fans you'd think the opposite. Craig's only made 4 films so far, you'd think the whole series had bee…
