  • Batfleck was great. He had the best taste in cars. But one of the worst batmobiles.
  • Oh the tricks of the mind. I read "general spanking" after reading "We don't see enough Diane Lane as we should". Couldn't agree more, btw.

  • Bale is one of my favourite actors since Empire of the Sun, and I love American Psycho. But I don't think he would be a good Bond.

  • Yes. I agree. "Ruin" was too harsh. I just don't like facelifts ;) Now there's a good challenge, a facelift that made a car look better than the original. Anyone?

  • mtm wrote: » Don't forget Munich too: can't be too bad if you're starring for Spielberg. Odd to fade away so quick. That's true. Great movie. Great acting all around. Love Craig's character too. "Papa was a Rolling Stone..."

  • mtm wrote: » Bana's an interesting thought, I like him. Maybe he could. He's another who seems to have fallen off the map a bit in relation to where he was in the mid/late 00s. Currently in Netflix in a very poor show with Connie Britton. …

  • delete post please. So sorry, I'm on fire today, just quoted myself instead of editing. Again, deepest apologies.
  • mtm wrote: » Mrs Peel only had a Jag in the '98 movie, and it wasn't the prettiest E Type around. I see what you mean. Not a first gen. Those lights without the glass domes are ugly. And so are the white wall wheels. I'd have min…
  • I prefer Mr. Steed's other steed. His Jag. Peel's Jag and Lotus were also nice.
  • I hate SUVs. All of them. Although they're a brand saviour, and a a lineup killer. And the Valhalla looks amazing. So does that Bentley, even though it was a favourite amongst many football players ;)
  • Yes, and his expression is spot on. On a side none, Maud was really beautiful.

  • Way taller than Di, but I guess that's movie magic for ya ;) Also, Pryce as Phillip? Eh...maybe, I don't know. Good actors, though. But then again, the last season had a stellar cast, but they never quite got the magic from the first seasons back…
