  • Sydney Sweeney is now rumored to be Denis Villeneuve’s top choice for the next Bond girl in his upcoming James Bond film. He believes she has "huge talents" :-) https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35817924/sydney-sweeney-bond-girl-007-film-movie/

  • @mtm I have never really been upset about any Bond movie, even the ones who I found slightly underwhelming. There are so many ways B26 can go. There's the "let's exploit the dark side of Craig's Bond further", "let's get back to formula", "let's ma…

  • There's no green at all in the sky, and that is now how I remember it, so I'll stick to the Itunes version, which is marginally better (less red) than the BD.
