  • @Creasy47 … yes the Ice Cube scene was hilarious. He was great in both flicks. And The Nice Guys is a beautiful gem. Tight script, great leads working wonderfully off each other and nice, tight direction.
  • 21 Jump Street 22 Jump Street Yes, my inner 8 year old was crying with laughter. Cleansing my soul with: The Nice Guys.

  • I always have believed, and always will: Mr. White was perfectly set up to be revealed as Ernst Blofeld. That to me is the greatest miss in the Craig Era.

  • @mtm if I was to guess it sounded like a passive way of swatting or back-handing the frothing fans. That was my read. Almost like saying: just chill out, we’re casting for a film, not solving world hunger.

  • They've also hired James Mangold to make a Star Wars movie, which you'd think is a good sign about how they feel about this film. I read that today @mtm and thought the same. They saw what he did with Indiana, and whip him into another IP. …
  • @George_Kaplan — post of the day. I want to print these five words and frame them. Put a wide smile on my face!!
  • Thanks for that @sandbagger1 … had no idea!
  • What’d you mean @Jordo007 ? And P.S https://www.radiotimes.com/movies/james-bond-casting-director-rumours-bond-at-70-exclusive-newsupdate/ I put this under who should be James Bond thread with my .5 of a cent.
  • https://www.radiotimes.com/movies/james-bond-casting-director-rumours-bond-at-70-exclusive-newsupdate/ We’ve had BB make a statement. Now the woman she works closely with casting is making her statement. The news that I’ve heard is similar,…
  • Just awesome. Goose bumps all over… Heart is pounding!!
  • No, @mtm that scene sounds right up my alley… and the thing is I love reading about McQuarrie… he cut his chops, like me, writing plays. He knows story. And I respect him, very much so… And I loved his film debut, THE USUAL SUSPECTS. Something…
  • I'd never say that! I know that, 😂! My attempt at self depreciation, 😂 Oh I hear you on everything you’re saying. And I know this team, @mtm are the best in the biz with their “movie-magic”… And it’s frustrated me for some time that I gear m…

  • After Number 3, with the late, great Philip Seymour Hoffman, the next films in the series all blend into one. I don’t know which is which, and I often forget large chunks of these adventures as soon as I leave the cinema. I also, admittedly, can’…
