  • New Vanquish I guess.

  • Gosh, that's a proper filler piece, touting an interview that's the best part of four years old as an exclusive.

  • Did you mean another name when you said Craig or something? It doesn’t matter if you did. I'm not trying to catch you out or anything, just curious what you mean. EDIT: Oh, is it James Corden's character?
  • I know it’s relative, but Flux is still worse relatively. I will watch Empire of Death again at some point as it was energetic and fun even if not an episode I connected with hugely, Flux was just increasingly random scenes thrown together until my …

  • I'm sure you'll find a way of saying #4 at the UK box office is a disaster. Someone on youtube probably will. https://twitter.com/superTV247/status/1805268321773764936

  • The colours are nice. It'll probably get replaced by CG anyway.
  • It looks very thick and rubbery, doesn't it. And I just don't like him with a high neck. But the shield and belt look pretty cool, and at least it appears to be nice bright colours there.
  • Balfe can be quite varied. I've been surprised to see his name on scores which have been more melodic and traditional; I think Dungeons and Dragons was one.
  • I must admit I quite like how Craig's Bond is able to easily deal with lower level grunts: he is supposed to be the best of the best. Folks don't like the machine gun escape from the crater base in Spectre, but I tend to think that's just how he sho…

  • He sort of is, but I'm not sure we ever see him enough to get a sense of why he's comic relief: why is he there, why is he acting like that? The gags with his wig coming off, and then his clothes being blown off, are genuinely just a few frames of s…

  • That sounds like a great concept for a movie, fun to the hear script lives up to it!
  • I love the NTTD watch, but it costs over £8k so I can't really justify buying one, however this week I tickled the itch by getting this homage watch from Watchdives: it's a (cheekily!) close homage to the original, complete with grade 2 titanium cas…
