  • Agreed on Cameron, @MaxCasino. I also didn't like Tenet, @peter. Not one bit. It was a joyless mess. Not that I mind the artistic liberty of the director. I'm fine with that. But the film was devoid of trill and joy. That being said, I'm still…
  • Time to sack P&W? No! That time was twenty years ago. :P Just answering to the topic here.

  • Nolan + Deakins = perfect team, IMO.
  • Hoult and Taylor-Johnson are definitely hight on that list, yes. Perfect candidates, IMO.
  • Which means the first film of the era will be the best, with no need to connect to previous entries…well, probably. But so far, I’d say the best films of each era were the first ones: TLD, GE, CR,… well, at least from the last eras.

  • Jesus, Daniel Craig beware! Actually, Henry Cavill beware, and that's saying a lot. To think we all thought Pierce got bulked up for TND :))
  • Still the best choice, IMO. Voice and all.
  • JeremyBondon wrote: » The guy kind of looks stoned, constipated and angry at the same time. :))
  • One think we can all agree with, an actor is as good as the script. Sean Connery was lousy in DAF, Moore was awful in AVTAK, Brosnan sucked in DUD, Craig was cringeworthy in some places in SP (and in that M office scene in NTTD), and Lazenby, who wa…
  • I like Lazenby. If he stuck to it, he'd have been a great Bond, IMO. He was in the best Bond film, as far as I'm concerned. And he had the looks, the physicality, and he didn't act as bad as many like to say he did. Why badmouth the man so much? If …
  • Of course he is more than hair or eye colour. But if you could have the two sides of it, why wouldn't you? For divergence sake? For social/ethnical commentary? If you had someone who would fit both the physical literary/cinematic depiction and have …

  • I remember that, @Tuxedo. We had some people throughout the years with some interesting insight on the productions. On a very different note, I was always a defender of Nicholas Hoult as a possible contender to the role, but, after watching "The …

  • Just came in to say I love TND. Really do. Just as much as I loved 1997 :) Bond was HUGE for me back then. A full on identification process at its highest point. If only Pierce's films would've kept that kind of consistency and quality... GE and TND…
