  • I´m really hoping it gives De Niro something to Show off for a Change. I´m tired of seeing a film with De Niro and De Niro acting like he´s bored to death.
  • Wow, Zellweger Looks intimidatingly good in this Trailer.

  • I didn't like SP's title sequence at all, but that probably isn't Kleinman's fault alone. Actually, the version posted recently featuring another title song makes the sequence already look much better. Still, I find the naked Bond gay and the octopu…

  • Tbere were failed attempts at jokes in the last two films, but fun there was not. I wouldn't mind no jokes, as long as the film as a whole gels and leaves me awestruck.

  • It depends if the producers want Bond to be a subliminal symbol for a commonwealth (which could make sense even if the commonwealth as such doesn't exist anymore), or if they want him to be an am assador of Great Britain.

  • @HildebrandRarity, I wouldn´t go that Deep in the Analysis of Harris´ MP, but I basically agree that the relationship with Bond rings much truer than in the 80s and 90s. All the more so am I confused About what you say About the 60s MP, because IMO …

  • I like Hemsworth, but I still find it a bit hard to imagine him as Bond. What I´ve seen of him is that when he Plays it seriously he´s a bit too flat. But he´s getting more mature over time. He can do great Humor, but all I´ve seen so far goes in th…
