  • Did Campbell have anything to do with that scene? He directed it yes but it was no doubt written by P&W or Haggis, I'm not sure Campbell bought anything to the story like say Mendes is reported to have. I know some directors get more hands…
  • I really hope Aidan Turner doesn't get anywhere near Bond, @Mendes4Lyfe sycophantic promoting is beyond nauseating.
  • Just finished watching the 2 final episodes of BBC 1's Broken, I've been a Jimmy McGovern fan since the days of Cracker and he has done some great work in his time but this must rank as one of the best works of his career. All anchored by a mesme…

  • Oldman was robbed of his Oscar for Tinker but he must be in with a shoe in for this. He is for me one of the best actors of all time and his performance in TTSS was one of my all time favourites, the way he immersed himself in the role. The scene…
  • They were far superior to both Burton films and as for Schumacher's 2 do we need to go there?
  • We need a modern SWLM for Craig's swansong unless they can pull off the YOLT storyline, either give him a proper epic blow out or something that takes away the nasty taste of SPECTRE that brings the whole Craig era to an end in a satisfying way. Me…
  • but didn't Dalton read all the books? You pretty much hit the nail on the head there @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 although I'm sure Dalton fans will try and say different. Connery nails the cinematic interpretation like no other actor but as far inte…
  • I've always rated Craig since Our Friends In The North and seen in his other performances including Bond there are layers to his acting but they are subtle. Sometimes too subtle for some to notice, hence why some have claimed he's one note. I've …

  • Although I'm quite a fan of QOS I'm not a fan of the segment of the film but it's more thrilling and dangerous save the PTS of any scene in SPECTRE. That was the problem with Bond 24 is completely lacks any tension after the main credits.
  • I think they had been able to make something ballsy instead of introspective like their SPECTRE submission then they might well of come up with something more Bondian. Burn The Witch definitely made me think they could have pulled something off i…

  • Baby Driver 2017 All I'm gonna say is it's just a blast, utterly refreshing, Edgar Wright is a genius. 5/5
  • Lynch certainly proved those wrong that thought he'd struggle to make the same kind of mark on TV he did with the original series. I think this episode proves his vision is unique and while many obviously have been influenced by him there is no o…
  • Not really sure what to say about episode 8. Undiluted Lynch dialled up to 11, some are saying that it's like some student art project and I'm not entirely sure if I enjoyed it but this is clearly the film maker that gave us Eraserhead. It was…

  • Always loved the final part of CR, the sinking house is much better than the Miami sequence, one of the only blips on the film that and one of Arnold's cues in that very sequence. Also the obvious cringe worthy snatches of dialogue after that I'v…
  • Craig's best still and no. 2 on my rankings after OHMSS.

  • I guess Daniel Craig better give up playing the role as well because I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be a fan of the Tories. Your logic makes no sense, people can enjoy things of a fictional nature, they don't necessarily have to be to their politica…

  • Episode 7 was the best episode yet, some actual plot development and lots of old faces. Laura Dern was fantastic and Gordon and Albert are a great double act. Loved the sweeping scene with Green Onions sound tracking it and the rather creepy pho…

  • Apart from Noomi everything in Fincher's TGWTDT was superior. As someone who has read the 3 books I felt Craig captured Blomvist much more convincing. At start of the story he's a beaten man, his ego has been truly deflated after losing his lega…
