Then maybe they're very good actors themselves who know how to put on the required airs and graces to fulfil their roles as a night manager, @bondjames? Though, you make Hiddleston sound like he's Ray Winstone compared to the real thing, when there'…

Thanks, @Ludovico. I didn't realise Bogart was from some Gilded Age background. Interesting. Though, Bogart was a great character actor who disguised his background firstly as a working man and as far as I know, never played a member of the upper cl…

Well, I have to disagree with you there, @bondjames, though please don't take it the wrong way. Hiddleston is certainly not the "common man", not in the slightest. The one major criticism I had with him in the Night Manager was I just didn't believe…

Well, I thought I made myself clear, @bondjames, but I'll say it again just in case you missed it. I'm not saying Hiddleston can't play the role, what I'm saying is will audiences root for a posh actor in the same way as they did and currently still…

I agree, @Gustav_Graves, that JJ Abrams is a smart marketeer. I don't dislike everything that he touches, I just don't like the Force Awakens very much. I saw it on the first day and it was a buzz to hear the opening bars to the theme music and all …

It's funny how quite a few people here were praising Disney not so long ago. How things can suddenly change on a dime, right? Looks like that writer-director Christopher McQuarrie overseeing the reshoot was just BS as he'd denied any involvement …

I've read plenty of tedious, masturbatory garbage on these forums, @united1878, but yours pips everyone's by a country mile. Congratulations.

It would cheapen the brand and turn it in to a circus act, @fanbond123. Not only would it be a declaration that casting agencies are pointless, it would also be a declaration that Eon and the studio haven't got a clue what they're doing. Can you ima…

I do find these streaming services help without their constant advert breaks, which affords me to be able to watch a few episodes back-to-back. But yes, inbetween having a life, reading, working, it's a case of making time to view these shows. I'm c…

Ok, guys. Maybe I should have said: The real irony here, @BondJasonBond006, is that Simon Pegg made a costumed appearance in the worst Star Wars movie of them all... The Force Awakens? I've got to admit I didn't follow the making of TFA before the …

Yes, @LeonardPine, I recall I enjoyed the big opening number in Temple of Doom, but that little kid sure got on my nerves. Last Crusade was a rehash except with the Holy Grail in place of the Ark, but as you say, Connery's class elevated it. I think…

With the exception of Roger Moore, they were all unknown internationally and none of them were proven box office actors before Bond. Roger Moore, much like Brosnan, was stuck in TV roles, never once having a movie hit before Bond. Though I except Br…

I honestly don't think you can seriously call a highly profitable and successful 53-year-old movie legacy "fairly unambitious" because they don't happen to choose an A-list actor to appear in the lead role, @jobo. I'd say it's the complete reverse, …
