  • Most-Streamed Artists: (U.S.) Drake. Kendrick Lamar. Future. Ed Sheeran. The Weeknd. Most-Streamed Female Artists: (U.S.) Rihanna. Taylor Swift. Nicki Minaj. Ariana Grande. Halsey. Most-Streamed Male Artists: (U.S.) Drake. Kendrick Lamar. Future. …
  • Firstly, @Mendes4Lyfe, you're under the misguided notion that "if" Nolan was to direct B26, that he'd immediately fall back on casting someone in the key role that he's worked with before. Notice how Matthew McConaughey in the lead role of Cooper in…
  • I've just endorsed your other post @Shardlake on the movie thread. I totally agree about Dan Stevens, I could quite easily see him as a future 007. He's got the full package IMHO. Though the Apostle ultimately fails as just another Lovecraftian Wick…
  • I do concur @Shardlake. Stevens and Aidan Turner are still my own personal choices to takeover 007 duties. Cavill would be a less-of-a-risk studio type choice, IMHO. I like Stevens and I like his voice, looks and especially his height. Though I agre…

  • I'm in agreement with you @bondjames, Cavill has been getting more airtime due to the points that you've raised. Which is why it's important not to forget some of the other contenders that haven fallen by the wayside, such as Dan Stevens, who was on…
  • This has probably been posted here already, but I'm really stoked for Gareth Evans new horror movie, which is coming straight to Netflix, next month, October 12th to be precise, and staring future James Bond candidate Dan Stevens. You can keep your …
  • The thing I don't fully understand: was Craig expressing his love for the book or the movie? They're not entirely the same thing, as the movie deviates somewhat from the book, notably its ending. The reason why the movie is still held in such high r…
  • The re-watchability factor is of course a personal thing, but I find the last two entries in the Craig canon far less watchable on repeat viewings than I did his first two entries. It's far too early for me to say whether Fallout falls into the same…
  • I entirely agree with your assessment @JeremyBondon. The GQ article is just trying to be street hipster with its inclusion of Elba, hip-hop title track, and just where the hell does Julianne Moore come into it all? It's total nonsense, apart from su…
  • Funnily enough I bought Fukunaga's first feature length movie Sin Nombre on DVD back in 2009. For those that aren't familiar with Fukunaga's work, check out the trailer for his new TV series which he wrote and directed called Maniac, below...
  • Wasn't one of the preconditions in selecting a new director @LeChiffre, that he, or she, should also be a writer? It would appear that Fukunaga fulfils that certain criteria.
  • I think the major difference between Boyle and Fukunaga is that Fukunaga seems much more passionate about wanting to make a Bond movie, unlike Boyle, who always seemed rather reluctant, especially going on his past comments about it not really being…
  • I really wanted to like Mandy, but I ended up disliking it. The dialogue was woeful.
  • I tell you what I did watch though @bondjames, The Last Man on the Moon with former astronaut Eugene Cernan. Highly recommend.
  • It’s funny @bondjames, I’ve just been on a longhaul flight where Solo was one of the main attractions, and I still could only manage the first 5 minutes before I turned it off. So, I refuse to watch it for free. Only payment will persuade me go any …

  • I used to think this Gary Newman song would’ve made a great Bond song back in 84.
  • And yet there’s always been those doubts when replacing an incumbent 007 @Shardlake. It goes all the way back to Connery, though there comes a time in any actor’s tenure when he is simply too old to continue in the role. I disagree about Poldark,…
  • The one thing I dislike about the new Halloween (2018) movie title is that it dares to simply call itself “Halloween”. If it’s meant to be a proper sequel to the original then it needs a different title, surely? I know some of these writers and big …

  • Yes, we’ll observed @bondjames and @mattjoes. It seems to be a trend of Black’s scripts that a kid must feature prominently. The movie is just a mess and the kid’s connection is eye-rollingly bad. I won’t spoil it by mentioning the connection but it…
  • Another one to add to the “Not Impressed List”... Predator. A totally pointless sequel that will appeal more to 12 year-olds than the 18 certificate crowd it’s been marketed for. Arnie totally dodged a bullet by not appearing in this pile of dreck. …
  • Just finally got round to watching Sicario 2: Soldado. A great sequel, much better than some of the unfavourable reviews would lead you to believe. I’m guessing that some of the critics now see it as possibly pro-Trump propaganda and therefore decid…

  • The Ipcress File was one of those movies that I didn’t appreciate when I first saw it, maybe because I was too young at the time? I cannot remember the actual date when I first saw it, possibly the same year as I saw DAF in ‘71? Then I watched it ag…
