Oh, I see what you mean @bondsum. Well, I'm generally a person who weighs pros and cons and I don't have definitive opinions either way on too many things. I'd be very open to Hiddleston as Bond. Both he and Michael Fassbender are my top choices …

I am a proponent of Garland's as well, and wouldn't be averse to him both writing and directing a future Bond entry. I'll be checking out Annihilation next week.

Actually @bondsum I am quite open to him and along with talos7 and DaltonCraig007 was one of the earlier members to suggest him as a possible Bond candidate. I'm just pointing out what I see as a potential weakness in his acting repertoire. I can…

The Debt (2011) I came across this John Madden directed thriller in 2012 by chance. I had heard that Thomas Newman was scoring Skyfall, and having endured a torturous 4 year wait (like other Bond fans) since QoS, was anxious for all things pert…

Only LTK is in my top 10. It has enjoyed quite a resurgence. For many years I actually couldn't stand it. What brought on the reassessment? Not the Craig era, as some have speculated. Rather, I think it's P&W's dramatic leanings, more than an…
