  • Amusingly, just one week ago we were almost certain that the photo standing next to the Aston was current. Does anybody really believe that today? Looking at it again, it does appear that some adjustments were made around the neck line (it's apparen…
  • I'm a bit surprised that this is a shock to people. He's pretty much looked this way for over a year now. Even when he did that Aston ad with the dogs he looked tired around the eyes. Yes, they cleaned him up for Colbert, but that was an exception. …
  • Given that Craig's face has become a topic of discussion in the UK rags (with mention of tired 'wrist slash' in articles again), It may not be an appropriate time for any 'Bond related announcement', unless it's something more dramatic than we have…

  • Sometimes it's necessary to explain one's opinion. This is not one of those cases. FYEO vs TND TWINE vs CR
  • I don't think nationality matters either. It won't be Coogler though.
  • All the Glen films are highly rewatchable even if they aren't flashy. So are the MI ones. I'd prefer Bond films like that going forward.
  • A cosmetic surgeon contacted by The Sun speculates that it could be Botox. https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/5617352/james-bond-star-daniel-craig-facial-transformation/
  • I'm with you @Fire_and_Ice_Returns. MR is in a different league visually. A very stylish and epic film. I'm a recent convert to Chiles as well. She plays off Rog very well. I love that final two story interior set in space.

  • Great trailer. Seeing that I have to say I miss John Glen. That man knew how to inject some energy into Bond. In a way, I miss Dalton too.
  • Casino (1995) I’m not much of a gangster genre fan as I might have mentioned previously, and so initially wasn’t all that excited to view this Martin Scorsese directed mid 90’s entry. Well, surprisingly I quite enjoyed this film. It has a very di…
  • Just a guess here, but Ryan Coogler will not be directing B25. RE: A B25 announcement tomorrow, I wouldn't hold my breath, but it certainly would be welcome.
  • BondAficionado wrote: » @bondjames What's wrong with the editing/shots in any of the Glen films? I can't think of any instance that would cause disorientation or have me feel claustrophobic. The action in the Glen era is top-tier come to think of …
  • bondsum wrote: » Surely, the allowing of "the shots to linger" was more down to the editing rather than down to the direction, and in that case it would've have been Peter R. Hunt's skill not so much Gilbert or Young? Same could be said of wide an…
  • He looked perfectly fine between SF and SP. I saw him on Broadway with that dodgy haircut and he looked just great. The issue these days is around the eye area in particular.

  • Agreed. What I don't want is another sad attempt cover up eye puffiness or shadow or crow's feet, which they tried in SP. Seriously though, I hope he's healthy. He has looked anything but in photos over the past year (at a football game, with McD…

  • I really enjoy the TMWTGG score. It's a bit avant-garde imho, but quite satisfying. As always, Barry came up with something which matched the tone of the film to perfection.

  • It's true. The thing about the James Bond series is that the expectations are justifiably and consistently very high from the fans and even from the general public. This is a series that executed so well in the past, and that is what created and sus…
