  • This is mostly for @Getafix. I hope you at least find it amusing...

  • I asked this question before, but when did CJF say that he was a fan of AVTAK or that it was his favourite? I understand that CJF was most likely 9-years-old when AVTAK came out and that it was his first taste of a Bond picture, but I've read nothin…

  • I agree @TopGearJB007. I don't think it'll ever be mentioned again. Eon just wanted to do a J.J. Abrams and subvert our expectations by pretending Waltz wasn't Blofeld like Abrams did with Cumberbatch as Khan. It didn't do Star Trek Into Darkness an…

  • In all honesty @TopGearJB007, I don't think the new director or writers will want to revisit that stupid Franz Oberhauser backstory nor the author of all his pain nonsense that Mendes introduced as a cheap gimmick to pull the wool over our eyes. I'l…
  • My own enjoyment of what Kleinman delivers will depend entirely on the song that accompanies it. Yes, I'm happy that Kleinman is back again but until I hear the finished song, I can't envisage anything. Just like when I first heard Paul McCartney &a…

  • Why does B25 have to have "wounds" in its title at all? Where's the clever word-play in calling your movie just Wounds? I suppose it'll make it easy coming up with its sequel. James Bond will return in Contusions.

  • There's The Man Called Flintstone, a 1966 American animated feature-length film produced by Hanna-Barbera which parodied Our Man Flint at the same time parodying James Bond.
  • Pierce2Daniel wrote: » ... also now that Blofeld is back, we can wait and see if @PanchitoPistoles will keep his pledge. Over to you buddy. What was @PanchitoPistoles' pledge again? I'm sure he'll move the goal posts whatever it was.
  • Personally, I don't share the same worries as some do here about the return of Blofeld. Just because the exalted-one (Mendes) ballsed up his character first time round, it doesn't necessarily mean that CJF will repeat the same mistake again in B25. …

  • I agree it was a mistake to abandon the engineers in Covenant and concentrate on David. Personally, I preferred the outtake of Shaw and David on the juggernaut to anything that was included in the actual movie. Again, this was Scott listening to a …
  • An interesting video on the new engineers... I also liked this one of his on the engineer planet concepts that were dropped, presumably because Ridley Scott was holding off from using Giger's planet design for the final movie. Here's a look a…
