  • There are four great car chases I have seen that stand out: 1. Bullitt 2. The 7-Ups 3. To Live and Die in LA and... 4. Jack Reacher I don't know which one is to be credited for #4 (McQuarrie or Cruise) but it is off the hook.

  • Per the article: "It’s the end of the road for token eye candy Bond girls, as Nomi redefines the Bond heroine." I kind of beg to differ, here. Michelle Yeoh and Olga Kurylenko had already begun to redefine that role.
