  • Thats a very unflattering pic of Hiddleston Risico007. Having seen him in High Rise recently i can say the guy is much more muscular than that photo suggests. As for him as Bond? Well i think he could do suave and sophisticated in his sleep. Not so …
  • I thought Arachnids in the UK was for the most part an ok episode. That was until the lecture on the evils of land fill. Strangely enough i thought DW was supposed to be a sci-fi entertainment not a series of lectures. And guess who the evil villia…
  • Met Burt once at a London Comic-con. Got his autograph and he happily posed for a photo with me. He was the friendliest, most welcoming and charming man. A real gent. R.I.P.
  • @bondsum. They were deep into pre production. Neither the producers, Craig or Boyle would be be that far advanced if none of them liked the script that Hodge delivered 3 months ago.
  • Whatever the 'creative differences' were i find it highly unlikley it was the script. Everyone signed off on Hodge's script and seemed very excited about it. I just cant see why that would change, if it was an unusual take on a bond story they all s…
  • The Snowman could have been the start of something big, there are numerous Harry Hole books but it wasnt to be.Fassbender has always said no to Bond, but given that he has had three potential franchises go tits up in the last year maybe he would now…
  • The phrase "utterly inane question" is exactly the reason i dont post on here very often. @wisardoffice you have the right to disagree but there is no need for insulting my question. Good manners cost nothing
  • I just cannot understand the negative reactions to the return of Vic Armstrong, one of the best stunt co-ordinators and second unit directors in the business. To all those complaining i say would you rather have the shaky cam and incomprihensible ed…
  • They already wasted a year by waiting for Mendes to do Charlie and the Chocolate Factory before doing SP. Dont make the same mistake again by waiting for Boyle to do another movie first. If he's not ready to start shooting to make the release date, …
  • To be fair we have no real idea how long Hodges has been working on a script. This could have been in the works for months and we've only just found out about it. We do know they already have W&Ps script to fall back on. However if i was Demange…
  • The interview with Boyle that was referenced earlier was from 2013. A lot can change in nearly 5 years and maybe Boyle has had a change of heart. Also given MGM's financial woes i reckon they would be more than happy to have a lower budget Bond. I …
  • Danny Boyle has said on many occasions that he hates working with big budgets, it just does not suit him. I guess they could try a low budget Bond but its hardly likely is it. I have favoured Brannagh since his hugely entertaining Thor. He has prove…
  • What happened to Polanski's wife was awful but i' m sorry it does not excuse him getting a thirteen year old girl drunk and then raping her. A crime which he was convicted for.
  • I'm all for Cruise working with Tarantino but please God QT dont even think of working with Polanski. The man is a convicted child rapist and the only reason he hasnt spent the last thirty years in jail is because he ran away to europe. It amazes me…
  • A bunch of really annoying American brat kids, running around screaming at full volume for nearly 2 hours. Never mind the popcorn, what you really needed to sit through The Goonies was good strong ear plugs.
  • What i find astonishing about this years Oscars is that even with #metoo and general complaints about the lack of female directors being nominated for awards is that the FEMALE director of the years biggest commercial hit,Wonder Woman, isnt deemed w…
  • For me DREDD is as unsuccessful a movie as the Stallone version. While Urban is terrific as the man himself, and at least the helmet stays on, both movies completely miss the mark in terms if the humour of the comic strip. Dredd the strip had a str…
  • I cannot believe that there are only going to be about six cinemas in the whole of the UK that will be showing Dunkirk in 70mm film. Even major cities like Birmingham, Liverpool and Sheffield have no 70mm screening. And if your anywhere south of Lon…
  • It does seem that the one thing you absolutley cannot be these days is a white, hetrosexual male. This in the eyes of the trendy liberal media is totally unexceptable. Its stunt casting, done to appease the twitteratti and to boost flagging ratings.…
  • While i have no problem with the Pelham remake i would very much recommend that @bondjames and anyone else check out the 1974 original. It is a better film in almost every way. Very 70's in its pacing and visual style (1970's movies very rarely pai…
  • The Mummy 2017. A film that is by turns quite thrilling and yet really quite awful. Some of the action is well staged and its suitable yucky, no toning everything down to get a family friendly rating(15 cert in the UK). But some of the dialogue is t…
  • I'm afraid any film that features the slaughter of animals for entertainment is beyond despicable and for that reason i will never watch Apocalypse Now again. Simply saying Coppola is some kind of film making genius is no excuse. A self indulgent mo…
  • I am 53 years old and Roger Moore has always been part of my life. From early vague memories of The Saint to The Persuaders and of course Bond and beyond. That fantastic run of movies in the 1970s, not just Bond of course but Gold, Shout at the Devi…
  • Iron Man 3 is a great Shane Black movie and a great Robert Downey Jr movie. However, its a terrible Iron Man movie.
  • CR67 was clearly a massive influence on the Austin Powers movies.
  • I was a big fan of the Sky/Cinemax series Strike Back and at no point did i realise that star Phillip Weatherley was not English until i checked him out on IMDB. A flawless English accent one of the best i've heard. Also had no idea co-star Sullivan…
  • Just finished series two of Fortitude on Sky on demand. For those who are still watching it i will say only this...WTF!!
  • The Predator cast isn't inspiring me greatly but this quote from Shane Black most certainly is.."PG-13 is for pussies". Sounds like we're going to get a proper, gory, full on Predator movie at last
  • @LeonardPine. So glad i am not alone. I think its appeal is greater to gamers who are used to endless shooting and computer generated blood. I would tie the director to a chair, eyes forced open Clockwork Orange style and force him to watch Die Hard…
  • As John Wick 2 has just opened i thought it about time i watched the first. Boy, thats 2 hours of my life i will never get back. Sorry guys but i just dont get why everyone on here raves about it. Other than the basic setup there is no plot, no char…
