I watched See How They Run again the other day where Dickinson plays Dickie Attenborough and not only does he look mature and dashing, he’s also nicely funny in it, which I think is a good skill for any Bond actor to have. I would definitely put him…

It’s interesting that you mention it as I’m not sure I’d noticed before, but you’re probably right that it’s not really quite in the gritty (ish) world of CR. Would the CR Bond have jumped off that bridge and smacked into the wall without a scratch?…

A bit OT, but I saw it mentioned that although Oppenheimer earned a lot, it didn’t actually sell as many tickets as other films like Barbie: because it was in imax cinemas where the tickets cost more. It sort of skews the box office to report it onl…

That looks nice; they really have gone for the GF 60th.

‘My Life As Roger Moore’ - a BBC rogumentary about the life of our favourite megastar coming later this year. It takes viewers back to a golden age of cinema, tracing Moore’s unlikely rise from a young knitwear model to an era-defining icon, whil…

Anyway, here’s the boss of Amazon MGM giving a little update on the new 007 https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/oct/08/bonds-audience-will-be-patient-amazon-mgm-studios-boss-on-the-hunt-for-a-new-007 (I thought that was worth a new post, a…

Give me the PTSes of NTTD or SF over that any day. Echo’s right, when there’s a story reason for the action it’s more exciting and tense than without. The ski chase in FYEO is technically brilliant and probably superior to the one in OHMSS on a s…

I was lucky enough to hear her sing both at the 60th anniversary concert, I was surprised just how good and how much of an experience it was- better than I imagined.

I thought John Williams' soundtrack had the right idea: I'd go with Indiana Jones and the Call of the Crystal Skull 'Kingdom' was just one syllable too many for me.

But then we have lots of other people saying they don’t want anything new, that Bond shouldn’t get emotionally involved with the mission, that it should be like the 70s again etc. Not everyone can be pleased.

Interesting thought, I don't disagree, although I wonder if a lot of those take time to become iconic as well as being inventive and eye-catching. It is kind of why I think rebooting Scaramanga wouldn't be the worst thing in the world: a very memor…

I know Carver is based on Hearst (I think he even gets name checked in the film doesn’t he?) but my point is that he has a hook, he’s unique to that film and the film is themed around his particular niche. Whereas Blofekd is just kind of a baddie wh…
-
I guess the problem with Blofeld is he’s slightly a renta-baddie. He doesn’t have much of a hook: he’s just evil and does evil things with Spectre. I kind of prefer villains who have a particular idea behind them- like Carver for example: a media mo…

I think I would find seeing the Glastron quite impressive. Funnily enough I was looking at one of Zao's Jaguars only yesterday. There seem to be dozens of them! :)
-
I think Telly's terrific, I don't mind his being American at all. The one fault I'd have with his Blofeld was that he was perhaps a little too unhinged: obsessed with being a Count and a weird, really quite nuts plan about foot & mouth and prett…

I guess it’s 62 years since ‘62 :D

I would say we can't really answer Burgess' very good questions by saying things which aren't true. What I do think you were right about was: Zekidk wrote: » [So how does the character James Bond move forward? Should he be a role model (for th…

I will indeed: had a long day yesterday and had to turn in before the end of the film.

Bond asking Paloma to turn around is a problem now? So many problems in these movies I hadn’t noticed when I watched them. I guess Bond should have stripped in full view of Mei-Lei on the plane in Goldfinger too instead of modestly using the bathroo…

I don’t see the divide between the choices; they’re all Bond films. I watched the first half of Goldfinger last night, magic.
