  • There was a lot of wisdom in Siskel and Ebert simply using Thumbs Up or Down. Either a film is worth seeing, or not.

  • Just saw preview for Uncharted...wow ! In terms of where does Bond go after Craig, films like this one, and the MI films, have def. raised the bar in terms of entertaining adventure films with big, extraordinary action sequences...
  • How many films will the next Bond actor make ? Hmmm...more than a couple and, I think, more than just a few, assuming "few" equals "three." Fewer than a "bunch", though, and certainly not a "whole lot." DEFINITELY not a dozen, whether a "baker's" or…

  • "Dutch angles" ? That means things are just, sort of, off ? Sounds like an expression one would expect from the father of Austin Powers, going off on the Dutch again. Portrayed by...heyyyy, wait a minute -- MICHAEL HARRY PALMER HIMSELF CAINE !!!
  • By the way, Venutius, I am not disagreeing. Just expounding and exploring.
  • They still can have an arc, in terms of plot, characters, storyline, etc., without having a deeply intensive, brooding, psychologically and/or emotionally damaged Bond...though I expect there would be SOMETHING about such an arc in terms of Bond him…
  • Bullet to the Heart I've not checked whether used before for some other film. As for whether a title has been used for a book that seems even more likely to have occurred and, therefore, harder to avoid. Not very original, though...Now, since I do…
  • But her character is dead ! And is dead in the Brosnan-verse, no less. So...bring her back like the same actor who played an ally became the villain in Connery's next Bond ? Yerblowinmymindman...

  • Clever and creative, and certain to set off many complaints on this website ! May I suggest a twist ? If, following the first two films, the producers can see they're good with crew, audience reception, etc, for more than three, then have Tanner wi…
  • Could be ! Apparently, it was not Sylvia Trench ; > Bring back Sylvia Trench ! And, please, a scene, perhap on leaving the club, where a club employee brings her coat out of coat check, and says, "Your coat, Ms. Trench"

  • To really do it, with music of the day, too. However, if made in the style of films made then, would that include fake background screens, modest stunts, slow pace compared with today ? Face it, even the more mature members among us don't have the p…

  • I guess the laugh-generating Shatterhand title - Students ! Settle down !!! - which never bothered me when Fleming wrote it - won't come round soon. We just had Blofeld in two films in a row, and the story and Dr No-ish character in NTTD also had a …
  • OK, gotta be fair. My initial impression was based on still images, which were not flattering of the star in his performance as Reacher. Enjoying the show ! (I'm about halfway through the episodes. No, I don't mean I've watched each to the half-poin…

  • Some of those choices ! Ugh ! I've read that some of them were not genuinely candidates, and were trotted out to get Connery, then, later, Moorer to make a move and sign up for another one. James Brolin, in particular. Even with that in mind, it se…
  • By payoff, do you mean you'd like for there to be a deeper, more personal relationship between Ilsa and Ethan ? They definitely have a spark. The way each has looked at the other a few times, just a beat longer than needed...
  • If they put Harry Styles in the part I'll be hoping the character dies, thus necessitating a re-casting, in the darn PTS !
  • Tragic heroes don't survive. Do you think Titanic, for just one example, would not have been one tenth as successful artistically and financially had Jack survived. Many repeat viewers would not have gone to see it multiple times.
