Trainspotting was more of a UK hit than it was an American success story. It only pulled in $16.4 million in North America. Not quite sure how you're measuring a "big name" here @Ludovico. The Olympics is primarily a sporting event, not a cinematic …

I don't believe it was anything like "Never Say Never Again" as @BeatlesSansEarmuffs states. Connery co-wrote the script with top thriller writer Len Deighton. In fact this is pretty old news as there's various examples of the original script availa…

I'm not so sure I'd even call Danny Boyle a big name director. People don't specifically go out of their way to see the latest Danny Boyle movie like they do a Spielberg or a Nolan movie. He hasn't made a blockbuster, nor will he ever likely do. Any…

Myself, I'm finding Daredevil 3 a real struggle to get all the way through. Netflix doesn’t release ratings, but interest in a show is often tracked via social media engagement. Trends suggest that Daredevil season 3 is pulling in less-than-desirabl…

Probably just me but I think Miss Blunt comes over a tad colder than Julia Andrews as Poppins. might have something to do with her over-exaggerated, clipped English accent? That said, it's a kid's movie and kids ain't critics so they'll most likely …

Thanks @peter. It's truly wonderful having you here, and I'm glad you decided not to leave our shores. Keep up the excellent posts and updates, friend.

Some of you might remember my post half a year ago when John Krasinski's A Quiet Place came out and I said it was in part a bit of a rip-off of Bird Box by Josh Malerman, which I found superior. I believe Emily Blunt was offered the role in Bird Box…

I concur @doubleoego. I also am not a fan of Bond in London. As an ex-Londoner it just feels phoney. Take the sliding down the escalator scene in SF for instance, which is not possible to do anymore since LFL erected buffers to stop this from happen…

I'm not even curious to see how much it's been changed @barryt007, but thanks for filling me in on how the opening format has altered. My own prediction is that the BBC will be looking for a replacement come the end of next year and another team of …

I'm still only about halfway through the new Daredevil season 3. I've liked a couple of the episodes so far. Episode 4 "Blindsided" and Episode 6 "The Devil You Know" are the two that have stood out to me. I can't honestly say that I'm as enthused a…

I still haven't watched it, and I'm sticking to my guns on my own self-imposed ban, just as I am with the new Star Wars movies. It's interesting to read some of the comments, aside from @SaintMark who seems to love it, that confirm my own reasons fo…

Other than it will be someone who will be "explicitly unexpected", I think I've got the general gist of your post: We're all wasting our time here making suggestions, as it won't be any of them.

The Nun opened with $133M worldwide. I won't let B.O. fool me into thinking something is good.

Right now, you can listen to John Carpenter’s complete score for ‘Halloween’ 2018. https://youtube.com/watch?time_continue=70&v=cmHxSHWhwDM

I think our Barry liked to embellish a good story @vzok. He might have thought it, but I bet you Barry never actually said it to Harry's face. It's rather like Barry suggesting that he told Don Black to think of a penis when writing the lyrics for D…

Yes, interesting. Thanks for posting. There's also links for The Living Daylights, Live & Let Die, Goldfinger, GoldenEye and AVTAK there as well.

100% agree with @bondjames. Nowadays, it's virtually impossible for a movie to try and tell an elaborate story over its 2 hour running time, and deliver the same balance of performance and impact that a television series does. Not that this format w…

I still prefer Carpenter's original concept of each Halloween movie having it's own unique story, each one told separately every year. It's perhaps why I liked the third one more than I do any of the other follow ups, which were essentially just a g…
