  • So Youtube are clamping down on the 5G videos as, obviously,there is no evidence to back them up and Christian, Michael Gove has openly branded them as "dangerous nonsense". Looking forward to them banning all of the other "theories" that have no ev…
  • And the tone? I had always assumed that, given the tone of SF (people semed to embrace it broadly) and. coming directly afterwards in terms of Bond's mindset, that the tome should be broadly consistant
  • @NickTwentyTwo have to agree Have any fans re-written SP? It has great potential but, as many comments here say, it is rushed, clumsy and never really gells. IMHO, it has the potential to be two movies with more time spent developing Madeleine a…
  • "rationale"? surely not
  • Bending the rules but it's "my" thread - "we aspired to intelligence, we didn't belittle it" - this was pre-Trump, it's very powerful IMHO and a reminder of a time when Cruise did not have to do stunts to contribute to classic movies.....
  • On the politcal side, it's a huge PR gaff/issue as the Queen was meant to be the big story today and in the papers tomorrow.
  • The offical F1 Youtube channel are uploading full recordings of classic races. I was up last night watching the 1986 Aus GP. Them were the days (rose tinted specs at full power). The in car footage from Tambay and Dunfies is stunning. I won't spoil …
  • The severity of the symptoms and "not easily infected" are completly different things. It actually means we have to be more careful when around kids because they can be infected (and therefore, spread the virus) but not showing any (or very light) s…
  • "I am thankful children are not easily infected." ??
  • There is a certain percentage of the population who don't have the mental strength or discipline to follow the guidelines in the medium term. They are looking for an excuse to go out. (Sunday will be a nightmare in the South East) By focussing on de…
  • Very sad ....but get the top eight wired up.............
  • @DarthDimi Thanks
  • "Lost in Translation" - a great film but I can see it would be slow for many, European in style. Superb performances, easy to forget how talented SJ is. And I had forgetted the lovely reference to Roger Moore during the photo shoot scene :-)
  • Yes, the Orville has more of the "spririt" of ST than any of the recent versions of ST. It's a shame they go for laughs because some of the ideas/concepts within the episodes are worthy of good sci-fi.
  • Trouble is, how will the financial performance ever be seperated from the context in which is was released. Many have explained SF's financial perfomance on the 50th birthday, Olympics etc and we will never know if thats true. In the same way, we wi…
  • Does anyone fear that social unrest in the UK is a possibility? I was looking up the riots of 2011. I could not remember the initial "spark" and it was clear that most were just copycat riots and had nothing to do with the original protest (Mark Dug…
  • Watching the live Trump news conference now, just baffling!
  • Its a great shame that a series that we know not only can look stunning but tell exciting and engaging stories (also make decent profit) has been reduced to these streams.
  • "all the Chinese government lovers" superb - you have to smile
  • @CraigMooreOHMSS "Something can't "apparently" be a fact. It's either a fact or it isn't." Welcome to Trump World
  • Just curious, was thinking, is there any reason why EON can't start working on the scripo for the next Bond movie during this period? To put everything on hold seems a real waste of time.
  • Pure cheese :)
  • It's good to look forward to positive things. I cant wait for the week in which we all go out with our beverage/snack of choice, watch the film and then forensically take it apart on this forum.
  • To be fair, this thread is specific to the production of the movie. Just becasue people vent frustration at the late release is not IMHO a sign of disrespect to the dead. There are other threads to discuss the wider (and more compelloing issues) re …
  • These recent posts remind me that my brother "borrowed" my cigar box set before I had even opened it. What a perfect time to view these classics. Will have to retrieve ASAP
  • @peter "When that emotional connection happens, " Spot on, I seem to like OHMSS more and more as the years pass. The same with other non-Bond movies. Once that connection is made - it's movie magic.
  • Its interesting that some areas of industry have coped better than others in trying to create some good PR witin the crises and some not. I was impressed that some of the F1 drivers (and Ian Poulter?!) took part in a virtual F1 race for example. The…
  • The thing that everyone has to appreciate is that there are some Bond fans who do think it is the best (or top three) so there must be something there to attract certain fans and it deserves credit for that. TSWLM is not my number one but I can comp…
  • There is only so much capacity - both in the physical cinemas and in terms of "marketing bandwidth" - surely there is a danger that punters will just be overwhelmed?
