  • 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 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... ;))

  • I would like to see SHAKEN NOT STIRRED as a future title as it's so Bondian and sounds cool. However my final choice for Bond 26 is THE CHIMES OF RESURRECTION Technically Bond 26 is 007 back from the dead be it full reboot or whatever pl…
  • That's talk of Hollywood vfx artists forming a new trade union due to poor work and pay conditions. If this union is established the vfx/cgi crews may consider strike action in the future.
  • It's official. As of summer 2023 James Bond is a more popular film franchise than Indiana Jones and Mission Impossible. The last Bond film, Die Another Day, grossed significantly more than IJ 5 and MI 7. Bond continues to remain a major attractio…
  • MI7 could be facing major box office problem. As of today Sound of Freedom has grossed more at the US/Canada domestic box office. MI7 may not make 500 million worldwide? It's currently making less box office than MI6 so it's extremely unlikely it w…

  • MI has underperformed. It took 56 million over the weekend. That's the same opening as No Time To Die. MI6 opened earlier so made more but over its opening weekend it made the same as NTTD and that probably never made any profit for MGM. Overall …
  • The actors strike may have a big impact on the box office? Obviously Tom Cruise is considered a big film star with great longevity however casual film goers may think "the average actor isn't getting paid well, I support their strike to get decent p…

  • The sequel could have been called The December Man ;))
  • The film opened today, Monday, in the UK. Never seen that before. Usually an early release is Wednesday or Thursday. Maybe Bond 26 should open on a Monday to boost the first week's box office! My apologies. Opened yesterday! A Sunday. Strange.
  • I think Gavin would have retained his American accent? Who knows. Thankfully Sean Connery returned so we avoided an American Bond.
  • There can't be many actors that turned down Bond. I mean an actual "here's the contract, sign on the dotted line" scenario. There's huge difference between being approached to play Bond and an offer to play Bond. Hugh Jackman said the producers w…
