  • I'd call myself a Carpenter fan, but I don't particularly like anything of his post They Live (1988). Though I must admit I didn't mind The Ward (2010) so much as it felt more like an earlier Carpenter movie should feel like.
  • That's OK @Strog. I do agree with you that the decline in US box office started with FYEO and continued throughout the Eighties, which was why I thought it was crazy to still continue pitching their releases out in the summer and not expect the same…
  • Thank you @bondjames. Your cheque is in the post.

  • Strog wrote: » With all this talk of LTK's strong box office competition in the US during 1989, it's interesting to look back to the beginning of the same decade. FYEO more than held its own against the likes of RAIDERS and SUPERMAN II (again with…

  • Some good stuff here, @Dragonpol and @Thunderfinger. I know this is probably embellished but the poster of this video knows how to tell a good story. Personally, I think it has a whiff of creepy pasta about it. I haven't seen this posted previously …
  • Has to be at least 40 a day @ClarkDevlin. I used to have a voice like Mickey Mouse but after excessive smoking I now sound like James Earl Jones.
  • Dan Jeanotte's voice is too light. These actors need to start smoking 40 Rothman's a day to get a much deeper voice. His English accent is OK though but I'm also put off by his Paul McCartney/Bambi eyes.

  • And yet David Arnold is composing the new big Hollywood movie The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle starring Rami Malek, Tom Holland, Robert Downey Jr, Marion Cotillard, Ralph Fiennes, Selena Gomez, Antonio Banderas and a host of other names. How does that …
  • That might not be too far from the truth @Thunderfinger
  • Why am I looking at a black oblong box?

  • Don't take it to heart @BAIN123. You've got to understand that not everyone was a young kid when they first saw GE, nor were we watching it without the knowledge of the previous sixteen Bond pictures. I can perhaps understand why the Cumming charact…
  • Well, we have a longish wait to find out who is right and who is wrong @bondjames. No point in arguing about it now. Let's just be patient and find out how much of a Danny Boyle production this turns out to be.
  • Yes, I don't see Eon relinquishing creative control again like they did before. I think if Eon decide that they want Daniel Pemberton to do the score for B25, he'll be doing the score. Same goes for Kleinman. I'm not saying that Eon might not be per…
  • Excellent points @BT3366. I'm glad you brought up the "beach scene" and you're right, Zukovsky was way too cuddly to be believable as a threat. I can't disagree with any of the points you raised, including the pointless introduction of the BMW Agile…
  • Thanks for that @BAIN123. Though I'm not so sure that that is a satisfactory answer to Bond's question about the Lienz Cossacks. It opens up a whole other can of worms that weren't explored in the movie. It's OK to like Izabella Scorupco but I'm …
  • I’m going to do my utmost to not try and turn this into a critique of the film. Regardless of what I might have thought of Brosnan in subsequent Bond movies, I have to acknowledge that he gives his best and strongest performance here in GE, plus it …
  • Yes, it's interesting to see that by the following weekend When Harry Met Sally... had already overtaken LTK and was pulling in more money. But as the chart indicates, both Lethal Weapon II and Batman were still doing phenomenal business in the No. …
  • Interesting @AlexanderWaverly. I can see that Indiana Jones was still performing strongly just sitting behind LTK and that was after 8 weeks of it being first released! I also see the other big release the same weekend as LTK was When Harry Met S…

  • Yeah, I happen to think Brosnan's at his best in GE, but more on that later @BAIN123.
  • Yes, I find it a strange one @BAIN123. I never originally went to see a Bond movie because of the humour, I went because of the action, thrills and the dames. It used to be just a few throwaway dry lines that suddenly morphed into cheesy, bawdy humo…
  • I always liked Roger Ebert @Revelator. I have quite a few of his review books.
