  • 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 …

  • Madeleine. She’s very lovely, and reminds me of the woman I married, so… Easy choice (my wife’s a brunette, but their characters are very similar, and style of clothing)…
