I'm quite certain that's why Hodge has been called in at this late stage @patb. Hopefully they realize that, and are now coming up with something substantially new and reinvented due to the delay. They have to cut to cord on this thing. From my p…

I think they are underestimating the prevailing mood for change and reinvention. It's definitely out there. This is not just about the hardcore, although there's a far number of us that aren't enamoured by the current state of affairs as well. Ei…

Just to clarify, in case you have a misunderstanding, of course I hope for B25. Nobody wants the film to fail. That would be bad for all of us because it would likely necessitate another ridiculous and idiotic delay. However, some of us are looking …

I think they tried to do too much in SP. There were more action sequences than in SF but they sort of fell flat for me. I didn't feel any tension or suspense. Even with Hinx, I only felt some consequence towards the end in the kitchen car. I'm al…

Some of that may have just been marketing bluster though. If SP was really closer to his vision then I think he's lost it. SF was a Sam Mendes film - it had his DNA running through it. I still don't know what SP was.

You gentlemen are definitely making a lot of sense, but regrettably I fear this is not in line with the thinking of our friendly producer or her lead actor. On the contrary in fact. I look forward to being proven wrong though. Very much so.

I'm not in favour of obscurantism either @Ludovico. That must be fought against at every opportunity. It's unacceptable for religion to have a preferred or outsize place at the table of rule setting and policy decision making. They are but one pa…

Again @Ludovico, I'm not disagreeing. I don't have an opinion on it either way. I just don't go out of my way to criticize those who choose to believe in it. That's their prerogative. My educational background is in economics (the dismal science)…

I'm not disagreeing wirh you @Ludovico. I believe it's quite probable that if a God does in fact exist, such an entity will be quite difficult to qualify or quantify based on our current collective understanding of reality. Various religions have…

@Ludovico, I am not assuming the existence of God. I'm just suggesting that one shouldn't be so certain that he/she/it doesn't exist just because there is no observable evidence either. The earth was indeed observed by our senses to be flat until we…

@patb, I think that might be where the delay is. There was apparently a P&W draft screenplay written as Craig's final go around. Presumably that was a factor in his announced return. From what we know now, there is another independent draft b…
