Have you ever watched the Chinatown sequel, The Two Jakes, @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 with Jack Nicholson reprising his role as Jake Gittes? It’s a belated sequel, released in 1990 and the movie takes place in postwar Los Angeles - the 1940s of the baby …

DAF’s final act suffers from last minute script changes due to movie’s big climax, chiefly early drafts included a boat chase on Lake Mead that ended with Blofeld getting trapped above Hoover Dam. When the climax was relocated to an oil rig, produce…

It’s often reported here that Denis Villeneuve is a Bond fan. Do we have any idea which Bond movies Denis Villeneuve especially likes and why? Steven Soderbergh has already gone on record by stating his preference for OHMSS out of all the Bonds, as …

I totally understand your displeasure at these types of movies @QsAssistant. Torture porn, or rape, isn’t my cup of tea either. The original SOTG was classified as a “video nasty” in the Eighties and subsequently banned here in the U.K. until over a…

Just curious, what’s happened to the majority of @BondJasonBond006’s posts? They all appear to have been deleted. Have I missed something? Has he been a naughty boy? There was a report that Daniel Craig wanted US indie band Car Seat Headrest to d…

The Hollywood Reporter says, “Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman: The Golden Circle should have no trouble dethroning horror sensation It in its box-office debut this weekend, or lording over fellow new entry The Lego Ninjago Movie. Tracking suggests the che…

I don’t know whether it’s been reported elsewhere here, but I was surprised to find out that there is an official sequel to Meir Zarchi’s 1978 cult classic I Spit on Your Grave (Day of the Woman) that will be released next year. Like Halloween and T…

Absolutely @Creasy47. It certainly starts at a breakneck speed. It might lack the originality of the first movie and it does miss Sam L Jackson, but it still gets the job done. I was surprised that Elton John got such a large-ish role too. Pedro cer…

Just seen Kingsman. Though it lacks a Samuel L Jackson type character, it's still pretty good entertainment. It's just as lowbrow as the previous movie, but there's enough frenetic fun for it to be an enjoyable, crazy ride. Pedro Pascal has far more…

I thought Scott was executive producer on Alien 5, but claimed that there was no script for it, just a 10-page treatment that never got any further? It was just a pitch, nothing more. It's probably easy to forget that Neill Blomkamp had just come of…

It's my understanding that it was Fox that vetoed the Ripley Newt movie, not Scott. I'm sure if Fox had seriously wanted to milk the Alien franchise further with another movie, they would have done so. I honestly don't believe that they answer to Ri…

With the success of "It" at cinemas, I'm hoping we'll get a revival of bigger budgeted horror movies, rather than all this low-budget dross. As for good horror movies of the 21st century, I'd probably have to give it to either Guillermo Del Toro’…

I think, perhaps, another problem that Dalton faced in the early 90s was that there wasn't really enough or, indeed, any big roles for leading British actors in Hollywood at the time. Most other fellow UK actors were consigned to playing the support…

I think the problem of taking critics' opinions as gospel is that they can sometimes get it spectacularly and universally wrong. The Empire Strikes Back didn't originally generate favorable reviews back in the day (discounting the revised and contem…

Dalton did also appear in Rocketeer, Disney's big summer blockbuster of 1991, which turned into a bit of a damp squib. Admittedly, he wasn't the lead and his presence as the Errol Flynn-like swashbuckling movie star who is actually a Nazi spy was on…

Christmas music isn't what it once was. Growing up in the 60s and 70s, the Christmas pop song was as traditional as Christmas Turkey and cranberry sauce. Back then I especially liked Elton John's: Step into Christmas; Wizzard's: I Wish it Could Be C…

Agreed @Creasy47. I'm really looking forward to seeing Pedro Pascal in the new Equalizer movie now and how he plays the villain of the piece. He's one of the few actors around today that I want to see more of. Even though his name doesn't even make …

I agree, I'm hoping Daniel Pemberton gets the job, or the combination of Henry Jackman & Matthew Margeson.
-
Totally agree @bondjames. Pedro Pascal is one of those actors that makes you sit up and take notice. Having watched him in all the 3 Narcos seasons, plus GoT, this guy oozes talent. He deserves to be a big star. Reminds me of a cross between a young…

I believe the Swiss connection has to do with Fleming's first great love while he studied at Geneva University, whereupon Fleming began a romance with Monique Panchaud de Bottomes and the couple were briefly engaged in 1931. His mother disapproved a…

Can't say I'd ever heard of Hollywood actress Gloria Grahame, or even taken any notice of her career, which spanned films such as The Big Heat, Oklahoma and The Bad and the Beautiful, for which she won an Oscar. The story sounds quite a depressing o…

The Wogan Show was an early evening family entertainment program, just after the 6 o'clock news, much like The One Show is today. It was filmed at the Shepherds Bush Theater. The tickets were free, and the audience would have clapped and cheered at …
