  • I adore Surrender. That being said, I do like the three songs mentioned. But Surrender just sends shivers down my spine. Driving to it is bliss.

  • I take it you guys mean Hollywood run of the mill films and are forgetting italian neorealism, the french nouveau vague, the epics of David Lean, Kubrick’s entire filmography, Ingmar Bergman, Hitchcock, … and all that was true cinema for a long time…
  • Sure, I guess both of you are right. One option is not antithetical of the other. But M_Balje did take the time to look, so one does respect that, immensely.
  • Cruise must reunite with the big boys again. Make a Scorsese film, a Fincher one, a Paul Thomas Anderson one, something like that. One in which he does not run!
  • Damn, I was hoping they'd go for Gone in Sixty Seconds 2 first. But I do like the first NT.
  • That's amazing, @M_Balje, you're far more prone to seeing these patterns than most of us, and that's incredible of you, well done, my friend. And I agree, DV's subconscious must've been very much influenced by these films he saw on repeat. Direct in…

  • Doesn’t Ralph Fiennes have a very young nephew who actually looks a bit like Bond should? Have no idea of who he is. But isn’t his name “Hero Fiennes” or something ironic like that? Edit: Found the guy: Good eyebrows. Have no idea if he’s …
  • F1, about an almost 60 year old, will make more money than most. And people are loving it.
  • CommanderRoss wrote: » 007HallY wrote: » Thing is, I think it’s quite a clever film, far more so than Bourne arguably. It doesn’t default to being a basic revenge film, nor does it try to do a ‘becoming Bond’ thing. To some extent it even subv…

  • Porto just screams espionage film in the likes of The Third Man. Portugal has many beautiful locations. They haven’t been there since OHMSS, right? Lisbon?

  • If these are the cars of the future, we're in for some very ugly times. Oh, the glory of the 50s and 60s...

  • It makes sense, yes, but what would you prefer? That’s the point. We don’t need to be clinical. They do. We don’t. But hey, if they do it right, I won’t mind the yonger fella. It’s just that… well… when did having 30 something became old?
