I think, perhaps, that part of the reason the second one is looked at with disappointment is that they really set the bar pretty high with that highway chase, which arrives in about the middle of the film. It's a hard scene to top, yet there was an…

I can definitely agree with that. I never really understood the hatred towards the second one. It's got some great action sequences in it, and the freeway sequence is right up there with the shootout towards the end of the original that has gone d…

I don't think that Bond's reaction to "Mathis" at the dinner scene with Vesper is related to the tell. I think it's him realizing that something is wrong because there really is no reason for Mathis to need to meet with Vesper, especially since the…

So Elba's still in the running, it appears? ;) A dance-off for the part of Bond between Roland the Gunslinger and Loki. Strangely enough, there's probably some money to be made off of this on some kind of reality competition. ;)

Not everything is an audition for Bond. All this tells us, I think, is that both actors are playing a part in their respective productions.

There have been many times before in which the press has been flat out wrong regarding the search for a new Bond. The search that resulted in Craig's hiring saw countless headlines suggesting Brosnan was returning after all (even as late as a cou…

There's not much to see here on this news either, much like there wasn't when Turner supposedly met with EON, and much like there wasn't anything to it when Elba met with EON to discuss the role back in 2012. As someone said earlier, but it bears r…

Completely agreed. He needs his own Taken. I think there would be a market for it as well, given the popularity of those Neeson films as well as the fact that Dalton has done a couple of well-received TV projects over the past few years (guest app…

I'd be all for it. I've been calling for HBO or Showtime (and now maybe Netflix) to get on this for years now. They could adapt some of the Fleming novels that haven't been properly adapted by EON and then use some of the screen time to tell origi…
