LALD over LTK - LTK has a pair of things going for it in particular: Sanchez is magnificent and the tanker chase is the one of the best action sequences in the series, certainly Glen's greatest achievement. That said, LALD knows exactly what it wan…

The trailer is better than I'd expected. My hopes are somewhat raised, but I still don't know whether I'll see it in theaters or wait for home release.

Planning on doing a full Bondathon sometime this month and/or next. I'm going to try and give particular consideration towards LALD, TMWTGG, AVTAK, TLD, LTK, and TWINE. These are the ones I feel like I too willingly neglect (LALD), overlook positive…

They had better make a move soon if they're planning on shooting at the end of the year. Wasn't the start of pre-production pegged as April at one point?

MGM is such a millstone around Bond's neck.

In Barnes and Noble, I've not seen them, no. The only other big chain bookstore remaining in the States, that I can think of, is Books-A-Million, and I've not seen them there, either. As to why, I can only imagine that shelf space is more valuabl…

I may be wrong but I believe that fourth quarter report has been up for a few weeks now?

I understood that tidbit about the idea being hatched at the Olympics to rather mean that the idea of Boyle eventually doing Bond was hatched then, and not any one specific idea. I took the idea to have come rather as of late, hence Boyle's sudden e…

Lots of mentions about how Mendes and Logan were distressed that the script was being read—- they didn’t want this draft read yet, but “Brocs” knew “it was time”. I've not heard this before. To open up the door and invite critique on a draft th…
