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 …

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…

It just goes to show how tricky casting can be/the instincts needed. 💯 💯 💯

Don’t check-out yet: game seven may be the most exciting Stanley Cup final in decades.

I’m not disagreeing with any of the above, although it’s somewhat reinforcing my opinion that Campbell may be a nuts and bolts action director, but he may lack in the visualization of character/actor (he knew that Craig was more talented, but, at th…

I’m gonna come back to this— all are pretty fantastic @thedove . Nice choices! Seriously difficult!

I can’t believe how terrible he is. It’s astounding. I’m really shocked, I think that’s what I’m trying to get across.

My hand is up, @thedove … i honestly can’t believe this…

My point being: this guy was willing to forgo talent and choose Cavill because he appeared more close to the image of James Bond. Not good. Watching Argyll shows an actor who actually may be getting worse, not better. Secret Agent Man broug…

@SecretAgentMan⁰⁰⁷ , but Connery always had the "it" factor. He already had the raw materials to be a superstar, and especially had buckets of something that no one can teach: CHARISMA. If Young came back from the dead, he couldn't make Cavill an…
