Just got back from my screening and I guess my anger will subside in the coming hours but right now I'm going to watch Goldfinger to help me scrub this travesty of a Bond film from my mind. And it's not just the end it's pretty much the entire film.

How lovely to see a picture of Bernard Lee hanging there, he's been a little bit forgotten in recent years. Not by us Bond Fans obviously but in general public terms.

Do hope you didn't watch the butchered for TV version. So much cut from it including the cocaine party scene. Anyone watching that version as a first time viewing would wonder why the hell it was so successful in the first place

The problem with Australia is they are aiming for zero covid. If you accept that covid 19 is now an endemic disease zero covid is unachievable, unless you are going to keep people locked up forever. Many countries are now accepting that we will have…

Waltz was brilliant in Inglorious Basterds but he was gifted a great piece of writing and direction by Tarentino. In Spectre he had writing by Wade and Purvis. Say no more. He did his best but you can't polish a turd.

Thank God I don't live in Italy

Not really a whinge or a moan but couldn't think of another thread to put it in, apart from the RIP thread. Just heard that the publisher has decided to stop the print edition of Empire magazine. On the one hand I am quite sad to see another printed…

What a shame to hear about Tony Selby. One of those great character actors who would turn up in many things and always leave an impression. Loved him in the sitcom Get Some In as the bullish, shouty RAF sergeant major.

I'm hoping for at least one good serious documentary on the history and significance of the film's. I'm sure the main TV channels on UK TV will do some light hearted vacuous puff pieces but I'd love to see something more akin to Everything or Nothi…

Everyone in the farmyard is equal, but the pigs are more equal than the others. George Orwell, a wise man indeed.

In the UK we got some mystery movie shows apart from Columbo. McCloud, McMillan and wife, Banachek( pretty sure that was part of the lineup, but I was quite young so my memory may be vague on this) and a show called Tenafly with James Mceachin I thi…

No there's plenty of brown colour palette in Skyfall as well as Spectre. I just both colourless and lifeless compered with earlier Bond entries, so to call SF the best looking Bond film ever is just blatantly untrue. Watching Octopussy recently I wa…

One thing that's always annoyed me about SF is the Deakins fanboys insisting that it's the best looking Bond film EVER! I'm sorry but that's just not right is it. It's a dull, shitty brown colour palette that has no colour or vibrancy to it at all.…

Maverick moving back to next to year has to be a terrible hammer blow to exhibitors. Without top product there's just no encouragment to go to a cinema. I think movie houses were particularly reliaing on Bond and Top Gun getting people back in, now…

Totally agree. Recently watched Aquaman and there was much to enjoy, not least a fun Jason Mamoa, but I actually found myself fast forwarding the action stuff. One CG character beating the hell out of another CG character was internably boring. No e…

I'm afraid the idea of sitting in the cinema watching a movie with a mask on is unbearable to me, which is why I haven't set foot in a cinema since they reopened. Now with no mask mandate in the UK I can think about going back. But I reckon my first…

The best actors just seem to become the Doctor. Pertwee and Tom Baker from old Who, Tennant and Smith from new Who particularly. Whittaker feels like an actor playing the Doctor. Jo Martin displayed more charm and charisma in one episode than Whitt…

Clapton had said that he will not play any venue that insists on people showing vaccine passports. Bravo.
-
The Delta variant has proved to be no worse than any other here in the UK. The vaccine is just as effective against it. Of course many Americans still have not taken up the vaccine yet
-
I could never understand why anyone would make a film of The A-Team and not even use a note of one of the most famous TV themes of the eighties. At least the Mission Impossible films use the main theme
-
I sometimes think the composer's of recent Bonds are almost embarrassed by the fact they're scoring Bond movies. Certainly Newman but also Arnold's last couple of scores barely featured the Bond theme. But these are not run of the mill action movies…

This might sound a little crazy but the only ones I really like are Leiter and Q.

British government is saying that from September people will need covid certificate to enter a nightclub. But no-one really believes that's where it will stop. They will try and extend it to cinemas, theatres, music and comedy concerts and sporting …

I just hope the British government can hold its nerve and not rush into another lockdown just because infection rates are high. The vaccine does seem to have broken the link between infection and hospitalisation and death. According to the office fo…

No more Bond becoming Bond, no origins stories, no soft or hard reboot, been there done that. Let's just have the new Bond as the fully formed secret agent.

They should have released it now in the summer months with restrictions having been eased for now. It's not as if the summer has many major releases. Bite the bullet and realise that NTTD is never going to be the billion dollar grossing movie they w…

Sad to hear that Richard Donner has passed. The director of what is still the best superhero film ever,the mighty Superman The Movie. Even at the age of 90 he was hoping to do Lethal Weapon 5. Now sadly never to be .

The Goonies. Two hours of annoying American brat kids screaming and shouting. Why is it so many directors think that kids screaming and shouting at everything is funny. It's not, it's just bloody annoying. It's like putting a bucket on your head and…

The Predator. Oh dear, oh dear,oh dear. Hopefully this will lay this particular franchise to rest once and for all. How can Shane Black direct such great films when working on a lowish budget, but give him a studio film and he screws it up. This and…

10 Rillington Place(1971). A dark drama based on the true story of serial killer John Reginald Christie starring a very young John Hurt and an astonishing against type Richard Attenborough. It's been many years since I saw this movie, very rarely ge…
