  • @peter, how much can a top screenwriter get done in four weeks? Assuming he eats and sleeps. ;)

  • I wouldn't be surprised if Fiennes directs one eventually. That is, if he wants to.

  • The sky is not falling, people! James Bond will return. Sheesh.
  • Take the time to get the script right. That's the most important thing in the end. And the more time Fukunaga has to get invested in the script, the better.

  • Ha! With Kristin Chenoweth as Easter. And Ian McShane as Agent Idontgiveaf***. God, I love Ian McShane.

  • Denbigh wrote: » To be honest, I'd prefer they not rush it. I just want a good film, so oh well :D QoS and SP were rushed scripts. I'd rather they get the script right prior to shooting. This news doesn't bother me in the slightest.
  • That depends if you think he legitimately won the election or not. If yes, then it's the voters and their anti-immigrant isolationism. If no, then it's Russia/Assange. And it's complicated by Syria, which is both.
  • They should include a few bars of Nobody Does It Better again. That sums up Moore's tenure in seven (!) notes.

  • It's impossible to talk about Brexit, or Trump's policies, without discussing immigration. That's the core issue. https://newrepublic.com/article/134507/brexit-vote-really-just-one-thing
  • I like Crow's song as well.
  • Yes, agreed that AVTAK often feels like a caricature...I guess the high points are the stunts, and the eclectic cast (Walken, Jones, and Macnee in particular). It's one of the more interestingly-cast Bonds.

  • The missteps of OP could be so easily fixed...really, it's just a bad line here and there. And you could easily cut out the Tarzan swing/yell. Moore's performance is assured, and he is well-matched by the cast. Adams is a properly mature Bond g…

  • I love OP. It was my first Bond in the theater. And with very few tweaks--we're talking seconds here and there--it would have been even better. The clown makeup never bothered me. It's no more unbelievable in its haste than countless other mom…
