  • @mtm nothing more than what your instinct picked up on: it’s what is being discussed right now with the looming strike coming up; streamers really pushed during Covid and thought they could automatically be the next Netflix— but Netflix had a fiftee…

  • I think what’s most important about these latest interviews with Debbie McWilliams is that she’s probably the third most important person at EoN during this time… and there’s no way that her comments are off the cuff in the least… she likely has a s…
  • @slide_99 … always better see a piece of art or story as a whole, not a YouTube clip.
  • That's kinda my point @SIS_HQ , hence the "c'est la vie"...
  • I suppose these re-releases is a small sample of people voting with their wallets. I do think Octopussy and Thunderball and YOLT were better films than where they ended up, but c’est la vie.
  • That Penguin show looks all kinds of interesting. I’m in. I just pray it’s a short limited series.

  • @Mendes4Lyfe … You have ideas no one has thought of. Time to contact EoN and get a meeting. Hell, they may even donate the company to you. It’s obvious you have your finger on the pulse of what all Bond fans want worldwide. Good luck, man! I’m ro…
  • @Mendes4Lyfe , you say Craig's era is done, yet you're the one who keeps bringing it up, Lol!
  • And he also saw the poison work at the Bunga Bunga party… and when Blofeld dropped dead in front of him.
  • I saw Austin Powers not too long ago and it's just a lame attempt to parody Will Ferrel's Mustafa character where he is shot and mangled up pretty badly but yet still alive. If I lived ten lives over, I'd have never have made this connection.…
  • @CrabKey …. I don’t think anyone would disagree with your points? Reasonable and perhaps a little too nuanced for some members of this site (I believe that these members are the ones most are responding to). The above opinions are, I think, where…
  • Who is “we”?, @Mendes4Lyfe … you speak for legions who are silent? I love that Octopussy scene, but I’ve not heard many fans clamour for Bond dressing up as a clown again. You’ve interpreted the Craig films as you want to see them and good luc…

  • Ppl want to believe the narrative they create in their heads. It’s impossible to speak truths or facts with them— such as, last time I checked, Bond always beats M:I and JW where it counts: the box office. The Bond box office shows repeat viewers…
  • @slide_99 what about the Matera sequence in NTTD? Oh wait… you didn’t see the film, that’s right…

  • All good points @MakeshiftPython (and funny too!). Although I love the films from the 80s, the fact is that the health of the franchise wasn’t doing well at all. One of the reasons was because Cubby didn’t know how to compete against a new crop …
