  • For me, with hindsight being what it is, I'd say the 80s. It was the decade that saw four of my top 10 films released (LTK, TLD, FYEO, OP) and even the low point of the decade, AVTAK, isn't anywhere near as bad as the lowpoints of any of the other …
  • I can't imagine that Logan will return after EON had to bring back P&W to save the original script from disaster. I wouldn't mind it, though, if the choice were to come down to either him or P&W. His ideas for Spectre that were dropped w…
  • I don't see a move to summer benefiting them enough to warrant a move from the fall. If they're that afraid of Star Wars, then perhaps a move into earlier October might be more warranted, rather than going with the staggering the last week of Octob…

  • There is still plenty of time left for EON to get Bond 25 ready for theaters in late 2018. Even if there is to be a new face wearing the tux in the next one, they can still hit the 2018 mark as of now. First and foremost, Barbara Broccoli now has …
  • The whole thing with the replay of White's death was awkward and mainly meant to give Blofeld something to do that made him menacing as well as something to show Nine Eyes in action, because to that point it had mostly been a theory rather than some…

  • Casino Royale '67 isn't that bad of a film if you just take it for what it is. There are some enjoyable moments, and some poor ones as well, and while it's a very uneven affair, it's not the disaster that I was expecting when I sat down to watch it…
  • Creasy47 wrote: » What they should do is ditch Snyder entirely and give full control to Affleck. Absolutely. I have no idea why they haven't already, to be honest. There's such a wide gap between them in terms of talent that it's really u…
  • I think Neill could have been an interesting choice. I think it's a bit hard to truly judge his screen test on just the little bit of it we've seen (assuming that there's not more out there that I've missed), but I would agree that his delivery of …
  • I'm not going to continue this debate any further, but will say this. Likening predicting the way a business that has operated for 50+ years will act in the future based on a previously established pattern is in no way like predicting a coin flip. …

  • If you look at the way EON has conducted business in the past, you can get an idea of where things are headed in the future. Both Dalton and Brosnan had been on their radar before actually being cast in the role, as had James Brolin, who was ready …
  • I don't think Elba or Hiddleston are serious contenders. Both have been presented with a similar situation that Turner was presented, only they've done a bit more with it in terms of trying to raise their profile by talking about it on several occa…

  • He's got the media behind him at this point, though, and that's what will keep him from it. EON rarely goes with the people that the media make a big deal about for the role. At this point, he's no more likely than anyone else because there is n…
  • There is still plenty of time. They could easily wait until early-to-mid 2017 to make an announcement and still be on target for 2018.
  • The "campaign behind" him is what will keep him from being Bond. The more time the media spends talking about him becoming Bond, and the more time he spends answering questions about it, the less likely it is that he'll become Bond. At this stag…

  • Well, whatever they decide to do the next time around, I just hope that there's a plan in place beforehand.
