  • It´s been reiterated to death on this forum already, but the fact that the producers keep giving P&W a monopoly on Bond scripts is frankly absurd! There has to be better and motivated alternatives out there. I suspect Babs is too hung up on this…
  • Lets be honest: Pre production planing, hiring a decent director and finishing a script is not that hard or time consuming! Even for "complex films". It should be perfectly possible to complete within a year or two maximum, however "thoughtful" it h…

  • Agreed. It baffles me when people criticize LTK's plot for being 'straight', generic or whatever. What would you then say of most of the other Bond plots? This one at least has some depth, twists and forces Bond (unlike most of the other films in fa…

  • Agreed. Hard to blame Terry for the fact that the scripts writers didn't bother to give him an actual role... The best Leiters are Lord and Wright hands down! No contest really.
