Realistically, Fassbender isn't going to happen. He'll be too old for the role by the time Craig steps down, and on top of that, he's voiced no desire to even play 007. And let's say even if he did a one-off Bond, what would be the point? Eon would …

I agree with both @thelivingroyale and @Birdleson. Though SF loses me around the middle mark, as soon as Silva is captured. I've struggled with it every time I've tried watching it. I just don't think it's as good as everybody made it out to be at t…

Yeah, I know what you mean, @Birdleson. He's made some stinkers, for sure. But when Spielberg's on top of his game, he can produce some truly amazing movies. Trouble is, the Bond fanatic Spielberg was young then, and Bond hadn't began to spoof itsel…

I couldn't disagree more with you @noSolaceleft. You might not have happened to like American Sniper very much, but the American BO for the movie was over $350,000,000 alone. Eastwood is perhaps the only director that continually brings in a movie u…

LALD v TMWTGG: I've placed LALD above its sequel, but there's certainly a lot of things in the second Moore that I feel were done better than its predecessor. I also liked the M & Bond scene on the sunken Queen Elizabeth in Hong Kong's Victoria …

A Deadwood movie is a mouth-watering prospect @Creasy47. Though it's my understanding that according to HBO chief Casey Bloys that he wanted to ensure that a movie would be accessible to viewers who haven't seen the original series, and that David M…

I bought Silent Partner on DVD when it was first released in that format, I don't know, maybe 12 years ago, or more. Excellent cat-and-mouse thriller with Plummer playing a sadistic killer against type. It was actually an X-certificate when I saw it…

Yes, I seem to recall reading the same thing about Plummer as well @Ludovico. I have fond memories of going to see him in Silent Partner back in '78. A movie that I thought was brilliant then, and that I still think holds up pretty well even today, …

The Punisher, Godless, and season two's Stranger Things, have all been sub-par for me. The only exception has been Season 3's Narcos, truly magnificent stuff.

DAF because it has Connery. Though MR is the best out of the slapstick Moore Bonds. YOLT because it has Connery. DAD is so bad, I think I prefer the '67 spoof of CR over this unadulterated tripe.

I suspect you're right @Ludovico. I was one of the few that paid good money to see Brosnan in The Fourth Protocol in the cinema back in 87, just to see how he measured up as the possibly contender for the role of Bond, having narrowly lost out to Da…

Brilliant retorts from @TheWizardOfIce. I side with you on everything you say about this abomination of a Bond movie.

I agree with you that Cavill isn't as charismatic as Cruise, but then there's very few actors that can compete with Cruise on that front, anyway. That doesn't mean that the producers can't build a future without the actor being in the movie. When th…

Maybe that's more down to the company your keep, @noSolaceleft. Everyone I spoke to after seeing DAD said it was an awful movie. Was I bored watching it? I don't think that even comes into the equation as that all depends on one's own attention span…

Cruise dangling over the edge of the Preikestolen cliff, with the clifftop seemingly a scene for an action sequence in the movie. Here, take a look at this Norwegian news bulletin that gives you a flavour of the location, and what the Mission: Impos…
