  • FRWL vs . OHMSS - it's a close one for me. FRWL has occupied the #1 slot in my rankings for over a decade now and I don't see it leaving that spot any time soon. OHMSS has been constantly moving up my rankings and currently is at #3. Both exceptiona…

  • She does seem a bit anesthetized, for lack of a better word. Still, we are only seeing snippets of the film here. I'm hoping there is more life in the full finished product.

  • I'd say that time is especially relevant in the context of a continuity driven character arc. One can agree or disagree on whether the character arc has been successful or not, but I believe time is important, both for the big fans of this series …
  • The Brozz does look very good there. I like the nod to MI (or is that FRWL?) in that ad.
  • I don't take too much from Fukunaga's comments. There is as much ambiguity in his remarks as anything else. I think we have to wait for more clarity on what direction they are taking with this film, and if they are on track we're likely to know more…
  • It's difficult to tell too much from that trailer and I agree that the first one seemed more exciting. Having said that, the film looks intriguing enough and I think Larson is a compelling and watchable screen presence. She has a cool laid back vibe…
  • Me neither. I'd use less generous adjectives to describe it, but we are where we are and it is what it is. Fukunaga is the only positive in this whole affair at present, and I think he has what it takes to deliver something interesting and wor…

  • I think we should keep in mind that it's quite possible the budget will be significantly scaled down this time around. All of the directors they were looking at (bar Villeneuve) weren't so experienced with big budgets, including Boyle, Demange, Layt…

  • Brilliant! I can't wait to see Hobbs go up against Elba's character. I'm sure there will be a showdown worthy of these two heavyweights. I just picked up Fate of the Furious 4K and am now compelled to take in a viewing today.

  • I'm not convinced that Dalton could have pulled off a GF/TSWLM type flick personally. Even though I would have liked a third Dalton effort, to a degree I'm glad he stopped with the two he did. I think his era is internally consistent at least.

  • I just remembered I should have spoiler tagged the above. Sorry about that. It's true about the trousers though. Now it's gone entirely the other way however, with a ridiculously slim look in vogue.
  • One day I hope these people get back to Savile Row and dump the nouveau designers. There really is no substitute for decent tailoring, which can flatter the body, irrespective of the fashion trends of the day (even with the wider lapels, ties and th…

  • I'm surprised people haven't mentioned the Anthony Sinclair three-piece glen check from GF. He looked excellent in that too.
