  • *fewer LOL No, I am not drunk when typing. But a neck injury from 2016 caused nerve damage down my left arm and in my hand. My fingers don't work all that well. Typing is hard--texting even more difficult.

  • Bond may be a father. But let's pump the brakes on this notion that he is going to die. If there is one theme that has stretched across DC's four films, it is that life and death are not always on opposite ends of the spectrum.
  • Remember the hook in the trailers: The 25th Film. Will change. Everything. Yep. I like it.

  • It comes down to how much of the film is watchable compared to how much is unwatchable. While there are bad moments in AVTAK, this is all balanced out by Walken, Grace Jones, a terrrific baddie sequence on board the dirigible, Barry's score, Dura…

  • HBO has renewed WW for two more seasons.

  • I'm not sure Turner has the credits. While DC was a relative unknown, he did have some pretty meaty roles in big films, such as Road to Perdition and Munich. Turner is still trafficking in total obscurity, known only by British TV audiences. (Obscur…
