  • Thanks @mattjoes. It's interesting that you bring up the sniper rifle, because I had a similar thought about it being especially Bondian during tonight's viewing. Scaramanga's golden gun flashed across my mind as I saw Hunt fiddling with it and tryi…
  • Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (2015) - 4K After a great viewing of MI:GP last night, I watched my 4K copy of the next installment tonight. As @Fire_and_Ice_Returns noted earlier, this isn't as good a visual upgrade as the other films. The im…

  • Isn't anybody worried that Rory hasn't been confirmed yet? :( The lack of concern expressed for him on here is a bit troubling.

  • That's why I'd prefer that they don't retread old ground with this one. Just move forward. It's been an eternity since some of these elements were established.
  • Speaking of hair, I came across this article in the FT of all places that was quite an interesting read. https://www.ft.com/content/942edb1a-850f-11e8-96dd-fa565ec55929 I have a Gen Y client who spends a lot of time in the gym daily and took g…
  • It's about time a hairy chest made a comeback anyway. Perhaps Bond (with Turner) can restart a trend.
  • That long awaited soft reboot is upon us then? ;)

  • I'd be curious if it's a direct continuation from SP (something I do not want) or not.
  • If that cut quote from Whishaw (ostensibly from the Graham Norton show) is taken at face value, then he has also confirmed his involvement. He reportedly said something like "so I'm told", and presumably that came from his agent.
