  • 💯 @Jordo007 ... Incredibly cinematic imagery, hence why most love the PTS and the film. For most, it started on the right foot, and rolled from there.
  • Draco. A man of action and likes demolition deals….

  • I didn't vote last time since I didn't have a clear choice in my head. This time I do, and it's CR and Bond and Vesper in the shower. It's a great scene and very different for Bond. (Nice nominees though! You put a lot of thought into these, @…

  • I've found myself watching it the last couple of weeks, must admit it's grown in my affections. I can go on about why this was a beautifully conceived and executed film, but I’m so happy to hear that you’re finding things that are elevating y…

  • https://www.worldofreel.com/ I’m at a loss, a little confused, but still believe he was/is the number one director EoN wanted (I have no dog in this, as I had my own favourites), but, as this guy mentions Bond near the end, and I stated earlier a…

  • https://nofilmschool.com/hollywood-restart Interesting little article from this smart fella (and a solid writer). But I’ve said here that I’ve heard starts and stops were happening at EoN HQ, and I believe it more than ever; my latest project …

  • Connery's "Some men don't like to be taken for a ride", but I think he was at his *most* unflappable best when, later in the same film, Fiona says she's not like the other women in his life that he's slept with; she won't be returning to the side of…
