Yep, I can't disagree with what you said @CraigMooreOHMSS. Like yourself, I found enough in the movie to still be enthralled. I certainly don't agree with the lousy critics on Rotten Tomatoes, but then again when do I ever? "Operates in a glum, skep…

Sorry @boldfinger but casting against type isn't a good enough reason to cast Hardy as Bond. We could name any number of actors in the role if we used casting against type as our sole raison d’être.

I have to agree with @boldfinger with losing interest in Maniac. It failed to grab me also. However, I totally disagree on the subject of Kubrick. If one doesn't appreciate Kubrick either pre or post 2001, then I honestly don't care for that person'…

Yes, thanks @bondjames. I was aware of the score for Maniac, but it was Dan Romer's other scores I was quite curious about. From my own small research he does sound quite experimental, often relying on the cello and the occasional strings to create …
-
For the record, I'm not against Dan Romer doing the score; he might bring something more energetic to the movie than Newman did. I've been going over some of his past work and it's quite eclectic, though nothing particularly stands out as Bondish to…

John Hillerman is an interesting American actor to bring up. A little research informs me that when he first started out as an actor, he travelled to New York where it took him a year to lose his Texan drawl, studying elocution under the tutelage of…

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Armie Hammer can do a decent English accent. After all, he did spend a good chunk of his childhood on the Cayman Islands due to father being a tax exile there. Yep, Hammer has very a privileged background and comes …

As a younger Bond, Jeremy Irvine isn't such a bad shout. At 6′ 1″ he certainly fulfils the height requirement. His voice isn't too light either and will grow deeper over time, and by the time B26 goes into production he'll most likely be roughly 33-…

Apologies to anyone who's posted this elsewhere but Welcome to Mercy has got an excellent review on Roger Ebert's site, which gives me hope that this is an above-average horror movie. Check out the trailer below...

I have to disagree with you on this @boldfinger. How would you propose to use a character like Trump as a template as a Bond villain without aping him or commenting in any way on him politically? I think the comparison would be an obvious one.
-
Sure, actors can change their accent as did Madden in Game of Thrones. It wasn't a southern English accent, mind. Turner does it for Poldark, too. I don't entirely agree with @Tuulia's assessment that it's not important to lose their regional accent…

I'm glad both of you enjoyed it, and a good observation from your girlfriend. Another bit of trivia was that it was Ken Adams first full-credited movie as production designer.

Glad you enjoyed it @DarthDimi. Also a bit of trivia for you: Kate Bush sampled the line from the movie "it's in the trees, it's coming!" which is heard at the beginning of the Hounds of Love song. There's a rather brilliant video posted on Youtube …

A good, intelligent response @Strog. I'm very much like yourself, I absolutely love Connery as Bond (even in DAF) and if ever there was a chance to see the great man play the role in his prime again, I'd take it. As a matter of fact I really wished …

Personally, @manover, I think Aaron Taylor Johnson's too baby-faced with a weak chin for Bond, but he's a more credible choice than Jack O'Connell IMHO.

‘It’ Director Andy Muschietti is adapting H.G. Wells classic ‘The Time Machine’ with Leonardo DiCaprio producing, which is interesting because Sky is also currently developing a The Time Machine TV series with plans to air it on the Sky Atlantic cha…
