  • Aaron Taylor-Johnson's name is too long. If you think I'm joking, I'm not. One fan who just saw the film recommends it to another film-goer. Oh, what is the name of the person now playing Bond ? Wait, it's what ? No one will remember all that. "Oh, …

  • I find that going with just the name of the character after having films with other-type titles is a BAD sign...witness "Jason Bourne"
  • LESS action ? Mission Impossible films are eating Bond's lunch...
  • I hope the title of the new Indy movie does not negatively affect the likelihood of us getting an animated film entitled Dexter Michael Louis McPherson III and the Screwdriver of Versatility

  • At least Blofeld's cat did not wind up hairless and frickin' freezin' up there in space, like Mr. Bigglesworth.
  • The American titles were more suited to dime-novel trash.
  • I like it, too, but it is too fancy for a movie title. I know the Bond films have a history of vague or even meaningless titles, but...what does it convey ? Per fine ounce of what ? would seem to be an obvious question.
  • Raiders got a reshoot of the ending ? Good grief ! After all those wax people melted a first time they had to make some more ?
  • The only way Indy 4 would elevate would be if the heavier sludge at the bottom of the sewage pit kept rising and Indy 4 floated on top of it...overdone ? Perhaps. Exaggeration for the sake of conveying a point. Personally, I liked a LOT of it (Mario…

  • I earlier proposed On His Majesty's Secret Service based on similar reasoning. ONE: not to follow the novel of OHMSS because it was done. TWO: Perhaps NOT. Royalty - no surprise here - is under question and, further, as a prince and, now, as king, …

  • IJ and the Call of Destiny - the Spanish title translated to English - would be a MUCH finer title in English-speaking markets ! Would allude to IJ's overall life, as well as the adventure being shown. Dial of Destiny is awful by virtue of the use o…
  • Looks good but that title - UGH ! Perhaps they wanted to honor Steven Spielberg by leaving him having directed the last well-titled IJ film before they went weak and wan. And that is saying something since IJATKOTCS was absurdly long a title, and w…

  • IJ and the Dial of Destiny ??? Please - that is NOT really going to be the title, is it ?
  • The reference shown above from Q of two things he told Bond had me wondering - could Q have been an agent in years before ?
  • OK, if too referential please note: I added the car-to-boat-to-aerial escape. More like Moore. I think it's time for the tone to change, albeit not to clown-time and awful double-entendres. Can switch out Moneypenny. I wanted to have it as Ms.…
