Ouch @Seano , I didn’t know that about the new film, 😂. Spoiler alert. But you’re 💯 % that sounds an awful lot like the Craig Era of Bond films vs the Classic Era (and what is the Classic Era now? Just Connery? Connery/Laz/Moore? Connery/Laz/Moor…

@Mendes4Lyfe … Nolan’s brother knows the “basics of storytelling”. Christopher’s best films are when his brother used to write his projects for him. They don’t work together anymore. Tenet was a basic ticking time bomb-end the world film. He just…

@Mendes4Lyfe ... We can go down the rabbit hole on this, and I don't think you're quite understanding what I said, so I'll try again: I don't like how WBs communicated to the filmmakers. But the filmmakers already know who they work for. These…

@Mendes4Lyfe ... WB was correct: cinemas were dead. They did the only thing they could to salvage these projects. Now, the way they went about telling the filmmakers is up for debate, but not their reasoning. Nolan didn't have a dog in the fig…

@Mendes4Lyfe , not unreasonable... But his split from Warner Brothers was not nice at all. At a time, during the pandemic, Nolan was not in agreement with how the studio treated their slate (streaming vs theatrical releases)... The studio was cor…

I'm talking about personalities. @Mendes4Lyfe .... If Boyle was precious about Hodge's Bond script, imagine what a treat Nolan will be... That was my point...

Read why Tarantino is making his tenth and final film. He has a point to his theory, and over a hundred years of film history unfortunately backs him up @Mendes4Lyfe . Listen, I'm sure Oppenheimer will be the top three film of its opening weekend…

No one is saying they disappear, @Mendes4Lyfe ... But he's been diminishing returns since TDKR... Read-up on why Tarantino is making his tenth and final film. He has a point to his theory... And that's not evidence you gave, it's a guess.

I said, @Mendes4Lyfe ,that I didn't like the Brosnan Era, but "didn't worry since I knew a new era would bring a new tone"... (Which is a clunky sentence-- that's what you should have zeroed in on)... Like I said: read articles and posts three…

I think EoN may wait to see how Oppenheimer does before putting all their chips on this guy. He is showing a pattern of diminishing returns in quality since TDKR.... a ten year slide in quality isn't what EoN want; they want someone on the way up…

@Mendes4Lyfe ... Uhm??? The success of the Craig era was based on worldwide box office, and repeat customers... These weren't "die hard " Craig fantastics... And did you read my post? I said with each new actor something new comes along with it. …

Who knows @Mendes4Lyfe ?…. it’s clear that EoN is just one of many producers with an issue with Amazon’s management. Let’s enjoy the films that sit on our shelf, and let this play out. There’s absolutely no predicting how long a management change…

@ImpertinentGoon ,it's not just EoN upset with Salke and the job, or lack thereof, that's she's doing. That article was basically an expose of how incompetent this person has been. And Broccoli doesn't need to get her fired, as I stated above.…

@MakeshiftPython … I agree. And I think she herself will take as much time as she needs to get this right. And she needs an executive who has far more expertise at big tent pole pics than this person that Amazon plucked as head of MGM film.

I agree TND is lacking, but in spite of its shortcomings, I find Brosnan so good in it. I actually enjoy watching him in this film.

Double bill: Jaws Raiders of the Lost Ark 🤯 awesomeness… effortlessly took my wife into these universes… we could only be so lucky to find our storytelling prowess and produce great pop-films again….

I found him so relaxed and less performative in TND. I also thought he looked his healthiest in this film (whereas he was way too thin in GE, and seemed a little rounder in the face, and softer in the body in his final two). And I did like hi…

She’d make a more entertaining film than Nolan, 😂…
