  • peter wrote: » I agree with you @Venutius ; I didn’t see it as Bond coming onto her and getting rejected. She was awfully “aggressive “ with him and he was taking the mickey…. That's how I saw it too. NTTD has its faults, but Bond's relatio…

  • mtm wrote: » I would say it’s very much part of the producer’s professional role to hype up the movie and its star when interviewed. Absolutely. Watch Cubby and Wilson in action. That's how you do it.

  • Watched it last night - superb! This is the closest I have seen to the Batman I read in the comics when I was young. Gotham continually raining, Pattinson's Batman easily the most badass ever, great soundtrack, gritty 70's vibe, down-to-earth creepy…
