  • Yeah if that's true (and it feels like one of those stories which probably isn't made up: he doesn't seem a name someone with a lack of imagination would associate with Bond) it's encouraging. "A final decision on the screenwriter is expected by th…

  • I saw lots of people online criticising the look of these two, I think mainly from an anti-Rowling perspective but claiming it's because their costumes look cheap and/or unoriginal, and I'm kind of puzzled what else a school uniform and duffle coat …

  • But then FRWL and GF are him basically inventing a totally new sound all of his own and distinct to Bond. I totally get what you mean about him developing, and agree that TB has some amazing stuff which then develops in a more kind of 'beautiful' di…
  • Yeah it could well be that. I wonder if it was all sorts of little issues just combining to make the perfect storm in a way, because I don't think it's a bad film at all- it's not amazing but it's pretty fun. I'm not sure I'e ever completely bought …

  • I would love to know what caused Solo to fail at the box office. Was it the lack of Ford, bad timing, Star Wars exhaustion, poor marketing etc.? I'm not sure anyone outside of Lucasfilm knows for sure.

  • Was that the plan? Maybe a bit too similar to drunk Superman in Superman 3?
  • The sportscar I've weirdly found myself lusting after (even though it never really appealed to me at all in the style stakes, and still doesn't really) is a Morgan. We went on a holiday only a couple of years back and the B&B we stayed at had th…

  • I doubt they had a massive budget, it was the BBC. And I had no issues with Armstrong, he was decent enough, if no superstar.

  • It's basically a supercar, so it's a supercar price. As for the name: it's a bit of fun. Cars are supposed to be fun.

  • Apparently Dr Who has earned its first ever Emmy nomination - for choreography of all things! :D
  • Yeah I love that shot in Fallout in the back of the plane as the bars expand, it does make it feel like a cinema somehow, you're right. I think they did a similar thing in Ghost Protocol for that shot as Ethan swings out to the outside of the Burj b…
  • I was very persuaded by the new Ferrari Amalfi, it's a more successful design than the Roma I think- I never thought the front end quite worked with that body-colour grille. Oddly they had a couple of Romas in the supercar paddock, but an Amalfi on …

  • It's achingly cool isn't it. MiniGT have done as all other model car makers and given it the gold wheels the other copper-coloured Lotus has in the film, whereas I think the white Lotus doesn't have wheels quite as golden; they may even be gunmetal,…
