The show has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 44 percent. The critics score is based on nine reviews which is very small compared to the average film on RT. Brian Cox has been mentioned in a few reviews and not a positive way! The whole review is behind …

I was listening to K.D. Lang's Surrender (which is the closest any composer has ever got to capturing John Barry's Bond vibe!) and I thought to myself... "What the heck... name Bond 26": The Name's Bond... It sounded cool over Surrender! I kno…

Both actors are too old now? Pierce is playing a 92 year old (!) in his latest film release The Last Rifleman. He was aged a bit for the role. Quite a dramatic transformation. I thin Brosnan would look cool if he played an older Bond with…

I wonder if the next Bond actor will be cast from the 007: Road To A Million tv game show? Maybe Babs might like one of the candidates: ;))

It's not a Beatles song. It was written by John Lennon in 1977 - 7 years after the Beatles ended. It was never written as a Beatles track. A long lost Beatles song would have to have been written when Lennon and McCartney were in the Beatles. Now An…

As mentioned above, this fillm is the same storyline as The Great Escaper (released in 2023) although the main characters are different. Michael Caine plays Bernard Jordan. Pierce Brosnan plays Artie Crawford. The Great Escaper is the authentic v…

I haven't seen Dead Reckoning but I saw the clip of the bike jump on YouTube. I'm referring to the scene from the film not the promo video shown months before the release of the film. I thought the jump was very poorly done. All we see is a black…

I wonder if this guy is available... MI6 Headquarters - DAY Bond enters Moneypenny's office. "James... you look different!" "I died in Bond 25. But thanks to a nifty plot reboot I'm back. This is my new Bond 26 look. Do you like it?…

Sam Spade was an archetypal American detective. To call him Monsieur Spade sounds wrong. It implies he's French. The character has retired to France but even so... strange title. There was a rumour - who knows if it was true - Clive Owen was a…

You fail to grasp the narrative. By making Shaw self-sufficient you make Jones less masculine. LESS OF A HERO. This is intentional. This is Kathleen Kennedy's feminist agenda. If you can't get that, your loss. Saying I'm a liar is uncalled …

I've explained in detail the lines of dialogue and why I believe it's a deliberate attempt to empower women (or to be specific Helena Shaw) and to discredit/emasculate the hero, Indiana Jones. You said I was lying. I provided the quote. I am a ma…

With respect I'll find the line based on the final cut released. I'm not using a third party transcript. I will provide the details later. ;)

She does say that. I can provide the time mark. I can provide the time mark/scene later or tomorrow. I don't have access to the film right now.

My point? Well the idea of making big budget films is to maximise your potential profit. And to do that it makes sense to appeal to the largest audience possible. Young, middle age and older film goers. It seems reasonable logic to assume one…

If you think 20 something year old TikTok users wanted see 80 year old Harrison Ford - and in my opinion acting old and grumpy - back as Indiana Jones, I very much doubt it. That gen can't relate to the character. Why would they care? Too old and pa…

The box office speaks though. If enough of the male demographic wanted to see an emasculated old man Indy playing second fiddle to smug Helena... they would have made it a big hit. Let's say 700 worldwide minimum. They didn't go. The film didn't ma…

The whole film is a deconstruction of the male action hero archetype. It's also about mortality/passing of time. Disney/Lucasfilm deliberately deconstructed Indiana Jones and empowered the main female character. This was done due to so called tox…

Helena doesn't care if Indiana Jones goes to prison for a framed murder so she clearly has zero regard for him. Does she hate Indiana Jones? I don't know. Probably not. He's just a resource to use. But she has no regard for him. It's only later when…
-
Helena uses Indiana Jones to get half of dial. She gladly allows him to be framed for murder. That would suggest she has scant regard for men and they're disposable. If you have low regard for someone (or men in general) it's highly possible you wil…

Recently seen film on digital release. My thoughts... Harrison Ford way too old to be convincing in role. He seemed to be playing grumpy old man for the entirety of the film. To give him some benefit of the doubt the screenplay portrayed him a…

Three observations about MI7 and its box office. The recent MI films have been sold on the fact Tom Cruise does his own stunts. Regardless how much cgi 'trickery' is used or not used, (the fight on the top of the train is green screen compositing…

Speaking of aging actors... ;))
