  • Whatever his reasons were, I'm glad that Newman didn't reference "Skyfall" more than he did in his score.

  • Glad to hear that there's someone else out there who likes Saw V. Thought I was the only one. Saw VI was the only one that I found to be decidedly inferior. I think I, II, and V were the best ones. Where they really went wrong, though, was hav…
  • I liked the Saw films as well, or most of them at least. I do think, however, that they could have done better with it, and perhaps even prolonged the series into a few more profitable films, if they didn't feel the need to churn one out every 365 …
  • I'm all for the low-budget horror films, as they often turn out better than the big-budget studio horror films. The problem is when the studios only see the dollar signs and try to churn out one of these films a year. Saw could have been a tremend…

  • Couldn't agree more. A good action scene, if well plotted and well executed, will create its own excitement.
  • Sadly, we'll never get an action scene like that in a Bond film. Never mind the brutality of it, which I can't see EON going for, but the fact that no music plays over it would probably be a deal breaker for them. They seem content to play the sco…
  • I think, if anything, Bond 24 needs to have no tributes or nods to the previous films. Those types of things have become far too prevalent in the last four films. I think it's about time we have a Bond film that stands on its own two feet, tells i…
  • I guess I mainly look at it from the point of view of simply wanting EON to do something different. I guess they kind of shook things up to a degree with Deakins' superb cinematography in Skyfall, but that's just a cosmetic thing, as it was still a…
  • Sounds like The Purge: Anarchy had itself a decent weekend, beating out Dawn of the Planet of the Apes on Friday by a total of $13 million to $10.4 million. Got to be honest, didn't see that one coming, especially with all of the good reviews tha…
  • I think the fact that Mann would impose his own style on it would be a huge reason why I'd want him on board. EON needs to break out of their comfort zone every once in a while and make a film that is a bit different. I'd say give Mann a gritty, l…

  • My thoughts exactly, @Zekidk. I really thought that they wasted Shanghai and Macau in Skyfall, as both could have been really interesting locations in which Bond could have spent some extended time.
  • I imagine that we'll probably get a little bit of Bond 24 in Scandinavia, mainly since we haven't really had a good dose of wintry locations since Die Another Day, but I can't see the majority of the film taking place there. It'll probably be one o…
