I don't know much about him. I think I've only seen him in the 2nd Thor film where he played the chief villain in thick makeup. He wasn't bad in that film. He wouldn't be my first choice but seems like an accomplished enough actor. I wonder if…

To everyone who may misunderstand @peter's sardonic humour, I did not intend to be facetious in my earlier comments. I only meant to point out that I am prone to theorizing, in case anyone else takes makes the mistake that he seems to be making rega…

@peter, the reboot was just initial harmless speculation on my part based on the low budget discussion, which has most recently accompanied a reboot. Certainly not insinuation as you state. Why ever would you get that idea? Unless it's just a misund…

Oh @peter I wasn't worried about you worrying. Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't want your head or anything else of yours to explode either. Glad you can handle a reboot or no reboot. So can I. After all, it's out of our hands. Let's see what May br…

I will try to check out Trainspotting, as that seems to be his famed entry. Thanks @JamesBondKenya

The latest: "But the most important cheerleader in the meeting was Daniel, and he was pushing for Danny to direct. He loves the fact that it’s something completely different. He has not signed up for more of the same old Bond." "Broccoli and W…
