  • Nolan is wrong for Bond 26 or beyond. It'd be Mendes all over again. His films are bloated and unemotional. I understand he loves Bond, but he doesn't shoot action well. Compare his OHMSS homage to the original. Hunt and Glen did it a better.

  • The Property of a Lady would have made total sense when TND was about the Hong Kong handover.

  • LTK is such a mixed bag. So much greatness--and Fleming!--and yet so much mediocrity. Here's what I'd change. For starters, ditch the title song and give us something edgier to fit the movie. Recast Soto and Zerbe and Hedison and Barnes with…

  • Pierce2Daniel wrote: » Annapurna posed this awesome picture on their Instagram celebrating the Bond deal Oh great, another LALD homage. ;)
  • A fresh perspective and a new energy are needed; Boyle will bring both. I loved the idea of continuity in CR through QoS (especially after decades of non-continuity), but SP was so exhausting that I just want a solid standalone now.
