  • This is rather good and a well put together video of Barry's top tunes. Of course, there's plenty of excellent scores missing from this Top 15, but it's pretty good overall.

  • After abstaining from this thread for a little while now, I'm glad to see @Univex has dragged it back on track with his impeccable choice of Aidan Turner along with his defence and reasons behind his choice. There's always going to be distractors. A…

  • My guess is that Boyle will wait until after B25 has been released and done its rounds before giving us any clue as to what was kept in the final script and what his vision was going to be. Clearly, Boyle and Hodge cannot comment on their script as …
  • So long as Peele doesn't try and expand his Keanu (2016) universe, @DarthDimi. Maybe the cute kitten pops up in Us? I'm not sure about this overlapping, expansion thing. Of course, Lovecraft did it with his books, which I'm sure is the inspiration b…
  • I must say I'm intrigued with writer-director Jordan Peele‘s hotly anticipated followup to Get Out. Not sure what's exactly going on here in this trailer? Is it another take on Invasion of the Body Snatchers, or is it more inter-dimensional with sha…
  • Compared to me @Torgeirtrap, she's a midget. I guess it's all relative to the spectator. Also what's 1.60? Is that some EU detective measuring scale that's now used in Lapland?

  • As I recall there's a longer cut and the original shorter theatrical cut of Play Misty For Me. The theatrical cut omitted the jazz festival scenes. A much later version I saw, had these scenes reinstalled. I suppose you're aware that long-term colla…

  • I can't honestly tell you which direction a future Bond movie will go with a younger actor in regards to him bedding older women, or cougars @Torgeirtrap. It might well happen. The current 007 is less of a Lothario than his predecessors so anything'…

  • Succinctly well put @talos7. You've summed up exactly the reason why I dislike TWOTW too.
  • I see the last episode got 5.07m viewers from its previous 5.66m, this is without the BBC's massaged consolidated figures added on to bolster this leaky tub. Will the finale episode scrape 4.90m or will it get a major boost by being the finale and g…
  • I wouldn't know where to begin with this one. I don't use the word "hate" very much, certainly not in terms of Bond movies, but out of all of them, this one comes the closest and ranks the lowest by far. It was this total travesty that made me join …
  • Surprised to see the resurrection of this thread once again. It's been a while. I was never particularly a huge fan of Judi. I liked her in GE just fine, but didn't like her in any of the other Brosnan movies where she became too motherly and always…
