@AstonLotus … that wasn’t during the audition; the actress in question got a small role as a stripper in True Detective; when she got on set, and, you know, had to strip, she refused saying she wasn’t told about the nudity. Knowing the business j…

I agree with you @Venutius ; I didn’t see it as Bond coming onto her and getting rejected. She was awfully “aggressive “ with him and he was taking the mickey….

@slide_99 : you should actually watch NTTD instead of cribbing other peoples opinions, 😂
-
@007ClassicBondFan , a very nuanced and thoughtful post. I especially agree with you and @CraigMooreOHMSS about the interesting family dynamics (which automatically ups the stakes).

@jetsetwilly ... The death of Bond didn't fit Connery-Bond, nor Moore-Bond, nor Dalton or Brosnan-Bonds, so it's not comparable to the narrative of the Craig Era which really explored the cycle of life for a double-0 agent, from birth (becoming an a…

It’s fine @mtm 😂. There’s an uncomfortable and nauseating undercurrent of misogyny where Barbara Broccoli is seen as this blinded-with-infatuation ditz, while MGW is “more measured”. When in realty Broccoli has been the co-leading force that had …
-
It's a ridiculous notion; Barbara Broccoli has been boiled down to not being the professional she is, but an infatuated school girl. A poster above says MGW is far more measured when dealing with the actors, yet he is ALSO one of the producers on…

It's not about whether he'd do it, it's a simple "what if", and, as @talos7 pointed out, the Hughes brothers had envisioned him as an older Dark Knight.... I think conceptually it would have been very cool. Hopefully Keaton's return will have som…

I always wanted to see an older version of the Dark Knight played by Eastwood. One in his mid to late 60s. Grizzled veteran of the streets of Gotham. Alfred's long gone; same with Gordon. Robin, if there ever was a Robin in this imaginary version, w…

@Venutius -- yes it's a good sign. Probably the most intelligent insight shared with us. And I find her to be absolutely correct. Let the world change, but Bond has his tool-box and his ways and that's his comfort zone. If he rubs modern sensibiliti…

@FoxRox , I find Safin to be the most sinister and disgusting of Craig’s antagonists.
-
I find him to clearly be an incel. He’s a dangerous little twerp who fell in love with the 12 year old girl he was intending to kill (when he says he never forgot her eyes, it was erotic to him and sickening to anyone else). He’s a loser that has…

Beautifully stated @RichardTheBruce … I’m very much on the same page as you. I think the film was a great artistic achievement (as well as a commercial success).
-
My own confusion is why would anyone think Craig’s last would be a rip roaring stand alone? Spectre (a very flawed entry and my least favourite of his five films), was dark— even with its attempts at humour. I never expected his last to be some j…

That's your opinion @ColonelAdamski . I personally didn't feel this way in the slightest. I was listening to Roger Moore's Cubby Hole where they interviewed Olly Smith. He stated his own pros and cons of NTTD, but, his wife and daughter felt i…

I'm unclear on what you're saying @ColonelAdamski
-
@ColonelAdamski , there are many screenwriters who, after getting a general sense of the story they want to tell, explore their ending first. Then they go to the beginning; fill in the Inciting Incident. Plot Points at the end of each act and mid…

@Birdleson … Pity? No. I don’t pity the filmmakers and my post wasn’t suggesting this. Admire EoN for successfully keeping the series a competitive force in a crowded sphere? Absolutely. Making films of this magnitude are minor miracles (that incl…

@hoppimike ... I think you nailed it in your first line: it IS all subjective. I loved the film immediately (and I've now obsessively watched it many times). The new Batman film had much I admired in it, but it was a mixed bag for me and I though…
