Having just read @thelivingroyale's comments, I don't entirely disagree with what he says. If there's any truth to this latest rumour then I can't say I'm too thrilled. It all seems rather rote, if not a direct steal from The Bourne Supremacy with J…

I agree @ThighsOfXenia. I believe it was after YOLT that United Artists was purchased by the Transamerica Corporation, which most certainly played some part in how OHMSS would be co-financed, but not so much in how it would look. The back-to-basics …

Yet, TSWLM was OTT that preceded it @Getafix. You can't get anymore OTT than a half-fish villain who thinks he's Captain Nemo, plus a giant with metal teeth and superhuman strength, and of course Bond's submersible car. Still, we got MR afterwards. …

I've never understood the criticism of Lois Chiles by some members here. I can distinctly recall when MR came out, Chiles was one of its strengths and was actually quite a big catch at the time. She was also the first leading Bond lady to have alrea…

Yeah, great video @jake24. I was actually surprised at how good it looked using those clips. I also like your title. I bet it's better than the one Eon end up officially using.

TLD - The best out of the John Glen directed Bond movies. Dalton looks good and the direction is on point, aside from the occasional goofiness. LTK - After rewatching this movie recently, I discovered I liked it a lot more than how I first remember…

Good to see a glimpse of some footage. Looks like Eon are finally stepping it up to counter the negativity. I'm wondering whether they'll go with Fleming's original title for DN, and call it Commander Jamaica, as in the proposed television show b…

Personally, I don't have a problem with another Australian playing Bond. From the female side of Hollywood, the ladies seem to be much better represented than the males at the moment. I've lost count of the times I've watched a Hollywood movie only …

Finally, some positive news!! Hats off to Eon and the Palace for pulling off this exceptionally good bit of PR. It's what was needed from their department. So they're shooting until sometime in October, which of course could mean certain actors (…

I don't disagree with you @MajorDSmythe. I thought the thing that still makes the original hold up so well, even today, was the fact that the victims never got the chance to make a stand against their perpetrator. He was a faceless, evil, irrepressi…

You mean switch the sorority to a fraternity and have the killer as a woman @MajorDSmythe? Now, that would be a modern take on the original, but it's probably too radical and innovative for Jason Blum.

A bit more synopsis on the new Black Christmas remake has been posted. In the new film, Hawthorne College is quieting down for the holidays. One by one, sorority girls on campus are being killed by an unknown stalker. But the killer is about to d…

Ready or Not looks ok-ish, though I'm not sure about the comedy elements. Personally, I don't like comedy with horror as it tends to cheapen it. As for yet another remake of Black Christmas... why? The only one I'm really looking forward to is Midso…

Ed Sheeran claims to have already written a Bond song a few years ago and stuck it in his bottom drawer should he get the opportunity to perform it @Pierce2Daniel. Of course it won't feature the title for the movie, but that's just as well as nobody…

1. Goldfinger - Classic. Nothing more to be said. 2. Diamonds Are Forever - It's nowhere near as good as its predecessor, OHMSS, but it still has Connery, which alone elevates it above a Moore movie. The story is principally Cubby's. Not sure what …

While I can share some of @PanchitoPistoles pessimism for B25, I won't stick my neck out and declare it a guaranteed success or a total misfire until I've seen further evidence, such as a detailed synopsis of the plot or at least a 2-minute trailer …

Compared to some of the other Ms we got, I do believe More would've been an interesting replacement, but of a very different nature. His delivery would not have lent itself to the same sternness as Lee. Sadly, More himself departed this earth in '82…

I agree with @Fire_and_Ice_Returns. It does feel deja vu and tad rote in its execution. I'm also not getting a very good vibe from this based on the trailer. The beats of the story all look rather cliched. Sarah Conner turning up to rescue "whoever"…
