I'm with you on that @Murdock. I just had a look at some of his TV work, Top Boy and Dead Set; totally handheld Greengrass like, which is fine for the small screen but not something I want to see at the cinema, and not in a Bond movie.

I haven't seen anything in full of Yann Demange's movie work, chiefly due to there being very little to view. I had a gander at his '71 movie and he strikes me as a director that likes to use handheld cameras a lot, much like Peter Greengrass. To be…

I think it's possible to end a Bond movie with, both Bond bedding the girl in some fashion and saving the day, without the need for hilarity. Personally, I'd like the movie to close on somewhere more glamorous and exotic than gloomy old, heavily-fil…

This might sound like sacrilege, even heresy, to some horror fans here, but I honestly can't abide all these continuations and serializations of horror movies. That sadly includes Freddy, Jason, Leatherface, Michael Myers, Norman Bates, Jigsaw and n…

I don't believe that Craig is perceived as "public enemy No 1" in the slightest, @TripAces. He's still incredibly loved and popular by the majority of the cinema-going public. That said, Craig has never looked particularly comfortable in any of the …

[quote[/u]="peter;769610"]@bondsum, I have no answers to your questions. I don't know what's going on in Craig's head. I was just pointing out that actual delays seem to be out of his control. And if the producers want to wait for an actor, or a …

Glad I could've been of some service @Creasy47 and @QsAssistant. This show is truly a televisual event and I pity those that haven't watched it, or even refuse to do so.

I thought Richard Madden looked much better unshaven in GoT than her did clean-shaven in the Cinderella movie. A very good actor though, as is the majority of the GoT cast. On a separate note, did anyone get Bran's line to Littlefinger? If you di…

Ah yes, Swan's strong independent woman saved Bond with his own explosive watch. Thanks for reminding me @FoxRox. But as you quite rightly pointed out, it was Bond that had to save her sorry independent ass from getting blown up at the very end. The…

It doesn't surprise me that B25 will take some of its influence from OHMSS, especially as it's now considered to be one of the very best Bond movies made. But do I really want to see another OHMSS watered-down clone? Absolutely not. Unfortunately, M…

Don't worry, folks, I'd never stoop so low as to post spoilers, certainly not for GoT. I'm just giving you a different perspective on why it doesn't ruin the experience for me, and clearly others too. I happen to get my own enjoyment from the execut…

Absolutely loving GoT. Fantastic cast and show. I must say, spoilers have never bothered me that much. Maybe it's got something to do with the way we used to attend movies in the cinemas when I was growing up: arriving sometimes halfway through a…

It's understandable that sometimes our comments can be hastily written and not actually mean what we really think or mean to say. I've done it myself many times, so I know where you're coming from @Stog. I've also just re-edited my above comment to …

It'll be a current mainstream global artist. More than likely a UK performer, especially after the success of both Adele and Sam Smith each winning an Oscar for their respective songs and scoring worldwide No 1 hits. People can post any number of un…

Good to see some love for Young Sherlock Holmes. Incidentally, I visited the street set in Elstree Studios when it was being filmed. Also starred an old mate of mine, Earl Rhodes who played Dudley - he also had a large role in The Sailor Who Fell fr…

Cheers @bondjames for your feedback. On the subject of Nolan, another thought struck me that was inspired by @Strog's comment about "non-linear storytelling" and what we haven't seen yet in a Bond movie. Now, I am neither supporting this idea or pro…

Sorry, @bondjames, but you honestly can't spoil Dunkirk for anyone unless they're completely void of any historical knowledge. But then that would be more a case of shame on them, rather than pandering into not giving away any spoilers. I can't s…

So disliking a female Dr Who equates to being a "Daily Mail reader" or the same type of person "who hated the idea of a blond Bond", does it? What complete and utter hogwash. These comparisons are neither joined-up or mutually exclusive to one anoth…
