Yes it's described as a 'Victor 3 class' I think.
-
Arf! Double Victors in that too: Reynard is a Victor, and so is the submarine!
-
I think it's fair to say that Glen added a more dangerous and realistic feel (all things are relative of course: they're Bond films so I wouldn't actually call them realistic!), and Gilbert aimed more for fun. It all comes down to personal preferenc…

To The Victor The World

The thing with AI or hacking-based plots is that they’re not very visual; there’s no iconography associated with them other than computer banks. Compared to stacks of gold bars or submarines there’s not much very movie-worthy there. GE managed to ma…

I’d agree that Gilbert was a great Bond director: Spy is one of, if not the very best Bond film for my money. As 007HallY mentions, he rehabilitated Moore’s Bond to some extent, rounding the sharp corners Hamilton had given the character and really …

Ah wow, I missed that!

What’s Cowboy No. One?

Another good one!

I think if there's one point the series has had which I've appreciated, it's that the Jedi are compromised and suspicious; and it's shown that from the very beginning, which I think is good. Especially as I'm someone who think they've always been ex…

Ah okay, thank you. A bit too oblique for me! (Spoiler)

I've seen people saying there's a spoiler about an actor in that trailer; I've watched it and I don't know what they mean; is that right? I've seen the previous Deadpool movies but I didn't spot anything that seemed too surprising..?

Speaking of song lyrics, you'll know which song this came from but it struck me as a bit of a Bond-ish line when I heard it again recently: One Is All You Can Score

I would have no problem with a rebooted Scaramanga, taking inspiration from the Chris Lee version, just as the new Blofeld used parts of the old Eon versions too.

The bit where he sabotaged the ship in the middle of the chase through the planet's rings was inexplicable. I actually didn't mind this series for most of the way (although I was concerned about the total lack of stakes) but that last episode see…

I was thinking about this more and still just don't understand what the makers were intending. Is Osha's journey even supposed to be tragic? At least Anakin's definitely was. Or was the point of the show to elicit some sympathy for the Sith and show…

Yes, the very first Bond films aren't exactly dissimilar to something like North By Northwest, and even lifted an action scene directly from it. Nothing is in a vacuum.

I think Vesper or Tracy or another loved one who gets fridged appearing feels unlikely: we've kind of been there and done that and the audience is a bit more wise to the use of female characters in that fashion. I think Madeline was an attempt to mo…

Haha! Yes, sadly the joggers they have with it in the other photos don't seem to be available, so you can't recreate the entire horse lab-sneaking look!
