Captain Pike looks like a good addition to this rather dreary show. One thing I dislike is the current social mannerisms and any ism come to that that exists in the future. For instance, the high five. Fortunately this gesture hadn’t been invented w…

I think Jack Huston’s cinematic pulling power was demonstrated by the box office flop that was Ben Hur. For those that haven’t seen it and are huge advocates of Huston, I suggest you check out this dire turkey first. Personally, I find Huston rather…

Alicia Vikander would hardly be what I’d call inspired casting considering that she’s already appeared in both UNCLE and Bourne. I’m hoping for someone that I haven’t seen in another big franchise movie. Someone that makes her unique to Bond.

This is such a shame. Gunn’s GotG was vastly superior to the new Star Wars movies and now they’ve gone and fired its biggest asset. Boy do I hate Twitter. I don’t support Gunn’s politics but it seems he’s lived and died by his own sword. That Rosean…

It's looking pretty positive so far for Fallout. But in all honestly I don't really care what RT's score is (after all The Last Jedi currently sits at 91% so it's certainly not a barometer for high quality or taste). Either way, I was sold before th…

I don't entirely disagree with your assessment, @bondjames, that The Shat still remains "quite definitive" as Kirk, if not still the most definitive, but the fact remains Shatner is too old to play the character anymore and there comes a time for ev…

I kinda agree with @Mendes4Lyfe here. Some are creating a hypothetical proposition then changing the goalposts to enforce their own opinion. If the script is strong, the right actor chosen for the role and the direction creative enough to equal the …

I agree, @QBranch. I too, liked Garbage's musical output at the time, which was why I expected something much more uptempo and better from them. I remember waiting with bated breath listening to Radio 1's world exclusive only to be underwhelmed by w…

I agree with the majority of what @Birdleson said. Especially about the Renard character. This had the potential to be a really great Bond movie. It was almost there. But in the end, it fell well short. Also, I agree with @QBranch's observations abo…

Whilst I think Cary Grant was certainly the right nationality and had the right look to play Bond, by the time of Dr. No he was already too old. Casting a young 31-year-old Sean Connery was the smart move and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I totally endorse what @CommanderRoss states. He's saved me the trouble of repeating it. Plus, Lazenby's physique actually fits the literary Bond's description as being "slim build" as do all the Bonds leading up to Craig. Eastwood and Connery we…

Whilst it's welcome news that Lawrence Kasdan was been brought back to rewrite the screenplay for Indy 5, one must remember that it was both Lucas and Philip Kaufman that came up with the original story, with Kaufman coming up with the Ark of the Co…

Ha ha. I entirely agree @peter. It's such a lame story. Them is a great little French thriller which has a slightly shorter running time of 77 minutes compared to The Strangers 88 minutes. There's no padding. It's just a straight edge of your sea…

It's very good and very tense @peter... and original!! I much preferred it as it involved a group of faceless, hooded feral youths rather than the obligatory novelty-masked assailants that are so rote in Hollywood movies. Of course, you're right abo…

Have you seen Them (2006) @peter? I was always under the impression that The Strangers (2008) was simply a US remake of the French film until I read something by the director Bryan Bertino claiming that it was based upon combining his haunting child…

Love Denzel as The Equalizer so I'll be there on July 20.

A couple of good posts from @Bond_Bombshell and @peter here. The only thing I'd disagree with is that I'd still put Cavill above the majority of the other candidates that have been doing the rounds here. Cavill is still growing as an actor and it'll…

A very good alternative candidate @HarmonyRockets. I like Tom Cullen's look and acting, plus he's 6' 1" and is only 32. This is the best leftfield suggestion I've seen so far. Could be one to watch? He deserves a screentest. His Downton Abbey app…

You're probably right to some degree @BAIN123. As I've pointed out elsewhere, I really liked her in GE, but didn't warm to her in her subsequent movies. I just couldn't buy the total 360 degree personality changes she took after GE. At least Bernard…

One thing I never much cared for was how Judi Dench's M had a complete personality makeover from GE. On first viewing it was the PTS which featured Geoffrey Palmer, who was practically reenacting his Lionel Hardcastle character from the sitcom As Ti…

There's a lot of truth in what you write @DarthDimi. Except, you seem to be taking aim at the very social platforms which, if I'm not mistaken, this is also very much part of. After all, discussions are still ongoing to the merits of every Bond film…
