Surely Christmas came early and twice this year. Not only do we know that Seydoux is back, but Scooby too.

When viewing it yesterday I also thought about the "We have all the time in the world" insertion that was supposed to be included, but which was pulled. That would have further closed it out, because the audience members 'in the know' would have bee…

@Fire_and_Ice_Returns, I read that the Rogue Nation transfer is taken from a 2K master, which may explain the issue. The film has a lot of saturated colours as well (like MI:3), and that too may impact the transfer. It's currently my top entry in th…

It's a nice car, but all this Aston wankery in the Bond films is becoming a bit too Fast Furious imho. I realize that they help to pay the increasing bills, but I'd like just one film this century that doesn't feature them. Or if it must, in order …

TSWLM vs. TLD - No contest for me. Roger's third is a class act in every way, and one of the most iconic films in the storied franchise. It did what it set out to do better than any of the other larger than life entries. Conversely, if I want a top …

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (2011) - 4K Not much more can be said about this film than hasn't already been said. It's absolutely brilliant, and especially so in this format. I think the fundamental reason it succeeds is because it takes …

SP was on the telly yesterday. I noticed that the scene where C attempts to shoot M mirrors the opening sequence in CR when Dryden tries the same with Bond. In both cases, the intended victim had emptied the gun of bullets. Watching the ending se…

Pretty dramatic stuff there. This will be right up Babs alley, I'd surmise. I'm sure he's on their list, although I'm not sure at what rank.

Cavill probably has sufficient range for Bond. He could certainly play in an SP type Bond film with some considerable ease. I agree on the viewpoint that a Bond actor requires a little edginess or darkness. Moore did have that. It wasn't in his o…

Safe (2018) I was browsing Netflix and came across this English thriller series starring Michael C. Hall. I wouldn’t have given it another look except for the fact that Hall is in it. Dexter is one of my all time favourites, and so I decided to c…

The interview starts more than half way in. If you go back a bit in that clip there's more, including a bit of a testy exchange at 4:50 or so between the Brozz and the interviewer, who asks him to say the "B, JB" line and Pierce refuses. There's mor…

I agree with the views that Jackman could have made an excellent Bond, blending the cinematic insouciance & charm with a darker interpretation. He has always been a very charismatic screen presence, and is aging well too. The only time I've foun…

@DarthDimi. You've perfectly captured how I feel about Arnold's tenure. I agree that there is more balanced maturity in his last two scores - they feel more classic, timeless and melodic. His earlier sound always felt more discordant and noisy to me…
