  • I don't think mine cared one way or the other about the continuity aspect of the film. Or maybe he just didn't notice it, given how flimsy all of that is in the film. He's not one who is going to a film looking for high art or anything like that. …

  • Well said @Milovy. As you said, there have been many different takes on Bond over the first 40 years. Certainly the Bond that Connery portrayed can't be viewed as stylistically similar to Rambo-Bond that we got from TND through the end of Brosna…

  • There's not much wrong at all with QoS, so I don't think that there's really anything there that needs to be fixed. If someone wanted to flesh out the story of Quantum a bit more in there, then that would have been fine, but any "fixes" to QoS are …
  • As a result, I'll be less likely to buy the next ME game, unless it carries on from Andromeda. If they're going to hit the reboot button, I'm not shelling out my money for it until the second game arrives on consoles. Not getting invested in the w…

  • Just saw that news on Mass Effect. It's a shame that they're being swayed by the negativity that was going to be there regardless. People were determined to hate the game before it was even launched and now that apparently has put an indefinite en…
  • Finished the main story for Mass Effect: Andromeda. Got to say, now that I can claim to have beaten the game, that I don't get what all the complaints were about. This is a fine entry in the ME franchise. I do have some issues with the story on a…
  • Looks like I'm closing in on the end of ME: Andromeda's story. The bones of a really good story are there, but they are sacrificed for the open world concept. I'll have to do another playthrough and really try to immerse myself in the open world …

  • CGI Connery would be a terrible idea. Just as would CGI Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan, or Craig. If we get to a point where they decide to do an animated or CGI Bond, I'd rather they attempt to depict Fleming's Bond on the screen rather than g…

  • I'd rather that they just go back to either the old timeline or create a new, less-defined one and stick with that rather than trying to tack on a story to the end of Zombie's take on the franchise. Zombie had his say on Halloween and it should b…

  • peter wrote: » that was random, @Mendes4Lyfe ... Indeed it was. I guess our only two choices are Daniel Day-Lewis and Turner.
  • All that says is that EON has talented stylists and makeup artists. Signing up Turner would be a return to the male model image of Bond where it's pretty much all about his looks and much less about the character, as it was during Brosnan's tenure.…
  • There was one thing that everybody acknowledged about Craig at the time of his casting, though, and that was that he was an exceptional actor. That wasn't the question surrounding Craig. I would imagine that EON could dress Turner up to look lik…
  • I'd give up on the franchise if she picked either of them. Both of them are terrible choices for Bond. Turner may be slightly less terrible a choice than Bell, but he's still a terrible choice.

  • They'll be doing themselves a major disservice, though, if they go all digital too soon. There's still a good portion of the US (and I'd assume other countries as well) that do not have access to the kind of internet you'd need to make this a feasi…

  • One can only hope this is the beginning of the end of the Call of Duty franchise.
