  • Watching it again recently I had to admit it's slipped down a few notches, it did sit at 3 but I think I must confess some of it's issues I've probably let off lightly in the past. I did genuinely think until recently I preferred it to FRWL previ…

  • It seems and not all with a problem with DC are doing it because they want him out although he does seem to be getting the majority of the vitirol here while Boyle is being seen as the under dog and the one who has been wronged. To be honest I th…

  • Currently watching Sharp Objects, 4 episodes in and I'm enjoying it, great atmosphere and direction and of course Amy Adams is mesmerising as Camille. Also Clarkson and Czerny doing great work, love is set up, some serious dollar been spent on th…
  • Tom Hughes, James Norton & Dan Stevens are my much preferred over all of those, all 6 ft or over. I like Hardy but 5"7 are we having a laugh? Cavill is a block of wood.

  • It's all down to Craig now to prove all the naysayers wrong like he did originally back 2006. People are writing him off in the droves it seems (or as we are led to be believed). If this makes it's original release and doesn't get delayed, I h…

  • Tabloid news papers are being given credibility here. You are actually taking all of this as gospel? Craig has well and truly turned into the punch bag for some of you to take out your frustrations on. I hazard a good number of the stories that…

  • The idea that this is the script is ludicrous.
  • Fassbender will go down of one of the best examples of what if? His stock is far too high and he's too old but if he'd been cast around Inglourious he would have been just right, that is where I saw his potential. Unfortunately for him another…

  • Maybe and only maybe due to offering too much artistic control to Mendes and leading to SPECTRE they started to get similar vibes from Boyle and his ideas and decided to stop it before the film went into production. I just don't know and till we …
  • I've gone from very excited to very concerned. Creative differences could mean anything and not necessarily the script, possibly casting or something, I'm not going to take it for granted that Hodge's script has been jettisoned. The problem if…
