  • It’s only taken three months, but at least one media outlet is admitting the lie behind ATJ’s casting: “Amid claims that a British actor had been formally offered the part, it was falsely reported that Aaron Taylor-Johnson had been cast”….. ht…

  • I'm going to give this at least 24 hours before commenting, other than to say, this guy has great hair, 👍 😂

  • Lulu Lemon tops. Specifically, Lulu Lemon tops for women. It’s laundry day. I am a meticulous folder (it’s my OCD kicking in, 😂), and my wife has a thousand of these tops. They have straps and strings, and they’re not cut symmetrically, but une…
  • I don't think anyone was pretending that EoN wasn't influenced by Bourne, though.
  • I have a weakness for long legs: Pam plus Peter has a nice ring to it...
  • Oh, nice @CrabKey ... Yes, Pine would be excellent. Some interesting choices with Chappelle and Gervais. I do like Skarsgard, always have. And he can play cruel sadists very well. I'm also a big fan of one of his boys, Bill. There's something …

  • mtm wrote: » I don't think it'll ever make my top ten, but the story is quite thoughtful and has good themes running through it. Whether it's still a bit too slight to be a follow up to CR I think is up for debate, but I think the direction is eve…
  • I’ve also come to like QoS over the years. It’s climbed up my rankings, especially due to the second part of the film (where the editing seemingly slows down), and the extraordinary climax. I think Greene is a slimy, very believable villain. He’s…

  • My point wasn’t that Campbell isn’t a talented director, but that he was willing to overlook the admitted talents of one actor, to go with an actor who was weaker, but looked the part. After seeing Argyle, and how absolutely brutal Cavill was rem…

  • @delfloria i didn’t say they were in the same league. Campbell is far more talented, but I compared them since they’re both journeymen types (although Glenn’s journey primarily was rising through the ranks at EoN), nuts and bolts, and excel in acti…
