I’m finding SNW to be too cute by half. Other than the exciting cliffhanger of S2 and the premiere episode of S3, it feels like it’s trying too hard to be cutesy. The original series could be “cute” but that was organically borne via storytelling…

Without passion. @GoldenGun , life would be boring! We love what we love, and be damned with what others think. Remember, I’m the guy who loves NTTD— warts and all. Love it the way it is, wouldn’t change one thing about it. I see why others may disl…

It’s film. A visual medium. People don’t want to see or hear what they see every day. Sexist? Or human nature (in most cases, people like looking at pretty things, whether a location, a leading woman, a leading man, a sexy car, a beautiful home)?

What’s ironic about the above article is Knight made a brief mention of arc, yet I’ve never seen one of his films/read one of his scripts where the lead characters didn’t go through some arc!— so there’s that. More often than not, arcs are baked …

I have never read Continental Op, and haven't seen WHERE EAGLES DARE since I was a boy on television. I will watch it again, but obviously I can't comment because I'm unfamiliar with the story. But I won't be surprised if I disagree with you, and I …

Saying all of that, perhaps some of the original fans can verify, but even doing a little research on some of the other candidates during this time, I’m really not sure they would have been better than Lazenby— or at least I haven’t been convinced t…

Dunno what to tell you. TLD, I believe, had a small bump of success compared to AVTAK, but there was a strained relationship with Dalton off the hop in NA. This escalated by the time LTK was released. Once again, in North America, I felt like I w…

@SIS_HQ : most as you will see had no problem with the tone; a few who criticized tone was because the leading man didn’t have the skill to play in that sandbox: here’s a fast glimpse: 1. The New York Times (Dec 19, 1969) — Vincent Canby “Mr. …
