How refreshing to have a new member who can actually join in the debate rather than the morons we have been innundated with of late or people who basically just write 'DAD sucks'. Sterling work StirredNotShaken (are you a Mr Henderson fan?) Anywa…

Is Penelope Cruz a stellar name? Really? In Spain maybe but she's hardly going to get joe public flocking in is she? Don't get me wrong shes very solid and I won't be devastated if she's the Bond girl but its more important to spend big on the…

Well done Sir although having watched it on youtube I can't help feeling a lawsuit from Saul Bass might be heading your way over those opening titles!

Decent work 007inVT and doubtless better than what we will really get. One small criticism - youre need the correct font to really give it that Chopping feel. Heres an idea for publicity - why not have a competition to design the cover? Who…

I was musing on Mallory the other day and a thought struck me. At the start of the film and in several scenes subsequent he is giving M a bollocking so its pretty clear hes her superior. So how come in the final reel he has been demoted to her…
