  • I don’t think anyone’s overlooking the flaws of NTTD @SecretAgentMan⁰⁰⁷ . After all, there is no film in history without flaws or mistakes (whether it be lighting (I’m looking at some scenes in Godfather II)), editing (check out Paulie’s cigar in Go…

  • I second that @Mansfield … Crystallized my own feelings. Thanks for sharing.

  • I agree @Mendes4Lyfe … and he’s actually a director that I thought of while writing that, BUT, there’s something still too infantile about his work— for me. I think the next director should have that zest and fun that Wright always brings to his …

  • @Jordo007 … what’s strange for me is, I’ve had a strong pull to Sir Roger’s Bond films lately. Very out of character for me. But @mtm made some very interesting observations about Moore that started to give me pause. The biggest one being that…
  • I can’t believe that each episode of Picard beautifully ups the tensions and raises emotional stakes from the episode previous. This is so bloody tight, it’s claustrophobic.
  • That's it @007HallY ...it would almost be guaranteed that any contemporary-made adaptation of a Bond -period film would have modern revionist sensibilities. It just wouldn't be authentic.
  • I wouldn't want a replica of the 60s. That decade was so unique, and interesting and just plain cool, that having a modern filmmaker try and create an authentic 60s backdrop would just feel false. Plus, would I want to see another actor preten…
  • I should say, perhaps where I believed they were, they at one time were. They're not there anymore. So whatever is happening, I'd suggest let the process play out-- coz, if we thought we had an inkling of what's up, I'd suggest that inkling ha…
  • Well said @timdalton007 ... I have a feeling, and some are aware of why, but whatever was happening may've taken a 1-80. Without being privy to anything specifically (other than a cryptic warning), I'd suggest Bond fans settle in and let this pro…
  • @Fire_and_Ice_Returns ... Hairs on the back of my neck stood up listening to the above theme!!!
  • Since I lost a war with the hair, I’m not too bothered one way or the other. But if this Bald-One was forced to choose, I’d agree with Talos and say a nice trim cut, but SF was jarring my too short…
  • @NoTimeToLive … other than loving NTTD from my first viewing, to last, I am of the same mind as you. This is a very fitting end, but I’m also aware that there would be fans that would despise it. But then again, is there one Bond film that every …
  • So I guess they hire a new James Bond from one meeting, no auditions and no competition? It’s only the most important role to cast for EoN. And rumours from tabloids, where you may be acquiring your news, stated that this one actor had shot th…
  • That’s fair @Torgeirtrap … a film doesn’t gel, it doesn’t gel. I’ve seen a few films where it was a hit amongst audiences or friends (or both), and I’m like: nope, didn’t do anything for me. Sometimes my perspective changes. Other times it …
  • Those “many people” @JeremyBondon ,won’t be casting James Bond any time soon. I’d gather outside of you, the vast majority don’t want Bond to look like the hairy, skinny dude they see at the gym. And, I’ll guess, most don’t want Bond to look l…
  • @JeremyBondon you like a certain physique. You called Tim’s body “perf”. That’s pleasing to your eye. I disagree, for sure. I’ve always played sports and I’ve lived in a gym since I was fifteen, so my slant for certain characters in certain jobs …
  • Oh c’mon Jeremy, 😂… Desperate times call for a Sun article. Shall we turn to what Sir Rog had to say about Craig? Sigh… Listen man, in the end, I think you’ll find the next actor— whenever that comes— will be very athletic. He won’t have br…
  • @JeremyBondon … I’d say Moore was very close to that pic. But, seriously, as with most things, there’s a spectrum, or a ball park: if your pic is a dad bod , then Dalton is in that ball park, and skinny-fat Brozz is as well. I don’t think Conn…
  • @Torgeirtrap , no intent to hurt your feelings, 😂 ( not unless you’re a candidate to be the next Bond!) I think it’s safe to say that the next actor won’t be built like The Rock, but like Craig, he will look athletic. The days of the dad-bod Bond…
  • What's silly is thinking a secret agent in 2023 would stroll around with a dad bod, lol... What's silly is thinking Craig was built like The Rock, or a comicbook creation called The Incredible Hulk. Throughout his tenure Craig was athletically…

  • I don't like the use of anabolic steroids. I've never used them. I don't even use Creatine (but studies show it's highly effective and actually meta studies have revealed cognitive boosts. I highly recommend it, but because of a genetic issue I have…
  • This season of Picard is everything ST should be. I'm on the edge of my seat, but it's been genuinely emotional and authentic when dealing with family, life and death. I found the first season mildly enjoyable, and at least a "start"... The secon…

  • No, no, you were right the first time @JeremyBondon !! No chest, skinny, yet long arms with zero delt-definition are the traits of pre pubescent 12 year olds boys. Age appropriate for a young lad whose body is about to change. Not so for a gro…
