  • I like Skarsgard to be fair, he's a lot of fun!

  • That's a lot of fun, nice car too. The guy playing Pierce kills some of those gags though, he's rubbish!

  • Nine out of ten shouty people complain about it, yes, but I think it's easy to mistake noise for consensus- otherwise you might look at X.com and think everyone around must be a Nazi. It's got an 88% audience mark on RT, which I know is flawed too b…
  • I don't think he was a great character as such, but he was played by Christopher Lee and had a memorable name, so in terms of SW characters I agree that he has enough there to be in the top 50. Moff Gideon is in there I see, and he's only memorable…
  • Exactly: that's sexism then. Her dad was quite often publicly at war with his stars (even Roger), so I tend to think that she handled things much better there.

  • Yeah, watching Rogue One after Andor, June Erso is a really quite annoying character whose arc doesn’t really feel genuine.

    in Bond 26 Title Comment by mtm October 9
  • Was that the one in Birmingham?

  • Considering you hadn't heard of him before this morning, that seems a stretch!
  • Yes, I've only seen him in that Alien film and I thought he was promising, if not super strong. I think Radcliffe might stand a chance of turning out improved, that Disney play I just watched was very poor. Steven Macintosh was in it, and he's a fa…
  • Yes I saw you pop up on their facebook page announcement! :D I might be tempted by the Jag, not sure yet.
  • Mendes4Lyfe wrote: » The next Bond has to be debonair and that's what I see a lot in B Radcliffe, he seems like a good balance. Only problem is can he act? As I say, I just watched him for half and hour and I would say... he's not great. Ma…
  • I watched this out of curiosity; he's not very good in it (there's a moment of revelation there which he does absolutely nothing with at all and it kind of punctures the whole thing), but to be honest it's so poorly-made and directed that I'm not su…
  • I missed these, but MiniGT have shown off their Skyfall DB5 and XKR
  • I was listening to the Music of Bond podcast where they do the subject of this thread, basically, and they Portishead's All Mine, which is pretty Bond; and then I thought- you guys here have heard Tom Jones' version, right? This album was massive wh…
