  • There's talk that they started to look at other actors after Spectre, possibly even auditioning them, I don't know.
  • I don't think I want it to be honest. Maybe some things can just end.

  • Well you said she had a 'weird attachment' to Craig, so it didn't seem 100% positive! :D Cubby was happy to churn out the same stuff forever and was averse to being too creative with it, rejecting the idea of a younger Bond starting out, which la…
  • Yeah it took me a little while but. Is it’s really cliched with me as a Fleming style title. I reckon it has a high chance of getting used at some point.

  • Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes, the Saint, Jason Bourne, George Smiley, Hercule Poirot, Inspector Morse etc. Reggie Perrin, Fletcher from Porridge even - these aren’t superheroes. I don’t get how someone can’t have seen more than one version of the sa…
  • Funny it contains the lyric “Tomorrow may be never again” which is sort of a collision of a couple of future Bond titles! (And grammatically dubious of course!)
  • Well if they’re all somehow different, then Bond isn’t fantasy, because that’s different too.

  • I wouldn't have said it before, but I watched Play Dirty tonight, the new Shane Black Parker movie, and its score by Alan Silvestri is one of his best ever I'd say, really energetic and old-fashioned, and really quite Bondy in a few places. If he go…

  • I think he's got the QoS DBS in that, hasn't he? Same numberplate even!
  • 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.
