  • I'd rather they stay away from any more From Russia With Love-style games. The game was so-so, but the big draw, getting to play as Connery, was what really let the game down. They did a solid job with making Bond look like Connery, but actually b…

  • There is no reason for panic just because there hasn't been any news just six months after the release of the last film. As for EON being lazy, there's not really much of anything that they can do at this point anyway. They can't move on Bond 25…

  • Since we're doing top 6s now: LICENCE TO KILL FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS DR. NO FOR YOUR EYES ONLY QUANTUM OF SOLACE

  • Cell actually looks pretty good. I'm cautiously optimistic, because that's really all you can ever be when it comes to a Stephen King adaptation. Still, the last time Cusack and Jackson teamed up for a King adaptation, it turned out pretty well.
  • TheWizardOfIce wrote: » I imagine they had to do about 6 takes of the moment when he lands on the sofa in the SP PTS as he kept bursting the buttons on his jacket. At least we now know where the $300 million budget was spent.
  • Yeah, it was a real punch to the gut to find out what awaited on the other side of that scene. It was a shame, really, because the premise of the film isn't entirely terrible. I think the stunt casting of Rhymes and Tyra Banks didn't do the film…

  • I had a pretty easy time leaving the final moment of Casino Royale out. It's not terrible, but Casino Royale was at its best when it was either subverting the formula or ignoring it altogether. That was a moment when it fully embraced some of the …

  • If the question is which film to show somebody who has never seen a Bond film, taking personal preference out of the equation, then it's a pretty simple answer in my book: From Russia With Love.
  • ClarkDevlin wrote: » No Nolan please. I don't want a depressing convoluted plot for a Bond film. Agreed. We've already kind of done the Nolan thing with Mendes doing his best impersonation of him. No need to see that repeated yet again.
  • 1. "Yes. Considerably" 2. Shower scene 3. Spying on Le Chiffre / Stairwell fight
  • There's still plenty of time for there to be news on Bond 25 and/or Bond #7. We're only a 1/3 the way through 2016. There's plenty of time left for news to come out.
  • Saw some fairly good suggestions for the possible title on the Twitter feed below the link to the title tease. "Jurassic Oh For God's Sake" and "Jurassic Outhouse" were the best suggestions I saw on there.
  • It's only been five months since Spectre was released. By that same token, Indiana Jones 5 will have had an 11-year gap between films. If anything, EON might need a bit more time to recalculate where to take the franchise given that Spectre wasn…
  • They need a clean break from the writing team of Spectre. None of them should be considered as possibilities to write Bond 25.

  • 1. Dalton: Both of Dalton's films find themselves in my top 5, with Licence to Kill rating as my favorite of the entire franchise, so this is an easy call as to who gets the top spot. His take on the character is still fresh even today, as I'm a fa…
