I am not sure where this video belongs, but this thread seems like the best fit. Back in 1977/78, U.S.TV ran this series called That's Hollywood. It showed behind the scenes looks at how movies are made. The show was hosted by Tom Bosley (of Happ…

1. Skyfall. This is the only Bond film to pack an emotional punch with me. And it punched hard. The film's themes of new technologies vs "old ways" may have been laid on a little thick, but they provided a depth to a Bond film never seen before, a…

WTH. This was a real thing?

I had never heard of this film until last week. I actually enjoyed it. The soundtrack has been in my head ever since. Johnny Keating had limited film credits, but this one is a standout.

What some fans may find boring, I find most intriguing. To me, the best Bond films are a slow burn: an emphasis on intrigue, seduction, and Bond's savoir faire, rather than action. When we really break it down, some of the best Bond films are like t…

I am OK with it. Pascal is a horrible human being but she has a track record and oversaw CR, QoS, and SP while at Sony. That said, at this rate they are going to eclipse the six-year gap between LTK and GE, aren't they.
