For me, every superhero movie is lowbrow entertainment. I really cannot understand how these movies can be critiqued as anything other than mindless comic-book nonsense. It's a shame that Warner Bros has to resort to hiding its RT rating for JL due …

Ha ha. Just had a look at those examples. Ok, I concede, the guy can actually speak several different languages. However, they're all sadly tainted by the same effete Hiddleston high-register tones, making him sound like a toff reading from a Berlit…

Skull Island was a dreadful movie. Total garbage made for the brain-dead gamer generation. And Hiddleston was instantly forgettable as a wet lettuce playing an ex-SAS soldier. Can't recall the point of what an ex-SAS soldier was doing in Nam anyway?…

Now you're just being contentious, @PanchitoPistoles. Diamonds Are Forever; The Man With The Golden Gun, A View To a Kill are all vastly superior titles to that of Skyfall. Unless you know that Skyfall is the new re-conned name of Bond's childhood h…

OMG! We're not back to promoting that wet lettuce Hiddleston again, are we?

Looks like she's just taken the Tardis for a shopping-spree trip to Top Shop to get her new outfit. I know I should refrain from commenting about this show anymore but honestly, what's to like about that photo?

Let's not forget, there's also the old-fashioned way of showing Blofeld, @thelivingroyale. One where the audience doesn't actually get to see him; only his voice, silhouette or hands, as in FRWL and TB. Blofeld could still ultimately be the man p…

Interesting news. Taking Waltz's own quote when asked about reprising his role, “No, I’m sorry. I’m really sad, but that’s the tradition, that there is a new…name. Sorry. I would’ve liked to,” it does seem that he's a bit miffed at being replaced. I…

Sorry folks, I've been busy recently so Haven't had time to look at any replys. But just to address these points below: Revelator wrote: » It's also a matter of fact that Fleming quickly reconciled himself to Connery's casting and began praising …

In fairness to Bamigboye, Deadline merely states that Villeneuve is “in talks to direct Cleopatra” so this isn’t a confirmation either. His name is just the latest alongside Ang Lee, David Fincher and James Cameron, to be linked with the historical …
-
I’m surprised that others here are surprised that Bamigboye‘s comment about Craig wanting Villeneuve for director duties on B25 was taken as some sort of cryptic message that he had in fact agreed to do it. Had Bamigboye stated that it was increasin…

You and me both, @Milovy. It totally ruins it for me.

It always surprises me to still read TMWTGG song as the default worst Bond title song, when we’ve had so many more clunkers since then. All Time High was forgettable airport Muzak, LTK was regurgitated GF with a dire soul rift, TWINE was the worst G…

I think the problem with revising DAF casting and script decisions to suit modern palettes is fruitless. Let’s not forget that it was mostly David Picker who was really calling the shots over the producers on DAF. It was Picker that wanted to change…

And yet the scene when Lazenby snatches the gun from Tracy, who threatens to kill him “for a thrill”, isn’t sped up or overly edited, and Lazenby is lightning fast, @Revelator. Has anyone seen this clip from Terry Mountain...

I thought I’d track down the original article in full just for my own clarification. The only real bit of information from Baz Bamigboye in the article is: “There are several other directors on the ‘wanted’ list, but I’m hearing that Craig is most i…

I agree @Cowley. The Glastonbury sequence was one of the moments that fell flat for me too. I also agree that this movie has probably more of a relationship with The Avengers (the cult TV show) than it has with Bond. It is indeed a shame that the…

Thanks for posting that @BAIN123. And as Bond says: “I’ll be the judge of that.” I honestly can’t see anything wrong with Jill St John’s performance in that excerpt, unless you’re referring to the “eek”, which I find amusing not hilariously bad? …

You make a good point about The Two Jakes feeling TV made,@0Brady, despite the excellent cinematography by Vilmos Zsigmond, it lacks Polanski’s vision and the previous cinematography of John A. Alonzo. Believe it or not, I actually bought the soundt…
