Great observation ! I expect we both still may enjoy the intensity of The Batman, and look forward to more great Bond movies, as well.
-
Indeed. It is the nature of the story - ie, that TB is not a story in which Bond finds things out before or with the audience, and they should not all be the same. Considering that Bond has a license to kill, I always got the impression he was not w…

Indeed. Perhaps Indiana let her have her crush, and knew that sooner or later she'd feel hurt, but let her live with her delusion....buuuut doesn't it seem it was something more than that ?

Bottom line - if Blofeld was supposed to be getting info from the outside, and perhaps giving directions from inside prison, by using his bionic eye, even if he had help from a corrupt keeper or few at prison - it STILL seems odd that the single mos…

WB pulled The Batman from Russia release at the last minute, producing some suspense outside the film itself. One supposes they did not wish to bear with hearing Lena Headey in her perfect, payback-is-tough monotone, saying "Shame...shame...shame...…

I t-h-i-n-k it was on this particular page on which it was well noted that, as goes the Bat, so may go the Bond...in terms of tone and style. This would suggest an even more psych-intense Bond, which, to get there, would wind up (exaggerating to mak…

I gotta admit it feeds right into the things some folks say about some folks in Hollywood. (How's that for vague and meandering ?) It is quite unlikely, in the real world, for a guy who would do that never to seek it out or actually do it again. Her…

Ugh ! We're talking about Child abuse ! Rape ! 15 and 25 ! Not merely dramatic or interesting, but horrible.

Agreed, that's why I wrote earlier that I was fuzzy on the timeline. Did Blofeld have it while in prison ? Only if some corrupt keepers were in there, like the corrupt Quantum member who was present when Bond brought in Mr. White in the beginning of…

Sure ! Bond recognized the Russians in power. Whether SMERSH at work (book), or SPECTRE-infiltrated (film, just a few years after the book was published), he had no illusions or delusions. JFK included the book on a list of favorites, but that did n…

For it to have been "wrong" and Indy knew it, it need not have been statutory rape. Just one of them younger, and the other older and more mature.
-
Yes, but there's quite a difference between Indy breaking hearts and Indy committing statutory rape.

That is: of the age of consent, and that there was mutual consent, and that it was not rape, but that she was younger than Indy, who was a graduate student at the time or just out of school...What were the writers and producers thinking ??? The poin…

Fifteen was it ? I thought older...ugh

As a fan of the films from the start, YOLT was the time when they just took OFF and went way out. Looking at the story it is hard to find the line being crossed, but overall it sure felt it. Whereas in the other 1967 Bond film, CR-67, you can spot i…

Yes, with Bourne it was the result of a massive, deep, Looooong-term project working him over, and that was made clear to the audience - once the background was explained to the audience, that is. I never read the books, so I might have tracked alon…

OK let's keep it spoiler-free ! If ONE more person starts to suggest anything about Mr. Wayne or (gotta say it the right way) "stately Wayne Manor" I'll scream ! And, yes, it's a classic, so it is perfectly reasonable to find a 1955 Lincoln Futura i…

Agreed. I can see that Bond needed help in TB - in fact, they arrive before he can, and with good reason. But in YOLT Bond was trained before he became a double-O, and then again by the folks in Japan, so he and a small, surreptitious crew would hav…

No one here has mentioned that Solitaire is not white in the 1954 book. The film does have Bond share personal intimacies with a lady of color - the agent portrayed by Gloria Hendry, but she plays a character who is highly intimidated by the villain…

Thx. I see now what you meant.

Well, you did see the use of a repeated term in the title ! "Mash-up" was a term in use in 1981 ? I remember that not. You were ahead of things...

They both display a trend which stayed very strong for numerous Bond films, which is this: At the end, Bond "calls in the cavalry" CR on TV ? Nope. DN ? Nope. Just Bond. FRWL: Help, but not a swarm of warriors to finish off the bad guys. GF ? Yup. […
