  • I’m in the same boat as @CommanderRoss and @echo . Not only my favourite ending, but, my favourite Bond film. I know, this makes me a fraud of a Bond fan. I should stick my head in the ground with embarrassment….
  • f I had to guess, mine would be Eon is intentionally spacing out the length between NTTD and the new film, going by the idea that absence makes the heart grow fonder. This happened with GE, despite many at the time believing Bond might be out of dat…
  • That’s kind of a redundant thing to say, especially in response to Makeshift’s post. And why would it “matter”? Their job, as filmmakers is to come up with ideas. You don’t suddenly lose them as a collective team, lol!

  • I think for a new Bond a shorter and snappier one is best dependent on what they want to do. Yes, in agreement. With a new Bond, have it short, snappy, and make us want more of what we saw. It’s the way I felt when I first saw TLD in cinema. …

  • Definitely have something to do with the plot, even if it's just a thread that leads Bond to the larger story....

  • CR: ended with Bond capturing White and being in total control. QOS: ended with Bond capturing Yousef (and not killing him), and telling M he never left the service. He chucks away Vesper's necklace, he didn't need it anymore. SF: ended with Bond …
  • No problem @Creasy47 !! Thanks for posting!! And yes, @mtm , unshaven…. Has he been the “dead man” that needs to wake up? I’m happy that they’re giving us something different— as one and two were quite a bit different from each other. Kudos to do…

  • I finally watched Godzilla Minus One.... Wow. Just wow. The story was simple and tight, and they really had some nice arcs, great and unpredictable scenes, and Godzilla seriously terrified me. It was fantastic. Loved the setting and era. …

  • The Bonds are imperfect films in my opinion. And that's fine because I usually cherrish their flaws. Also, they don't have to be perfect to give me what I want from a Bond movie. Beautifully stated. And so true.

  • When you've got the talent and do it right you can take from elsewhere and make it feel new Nailed it @sandbagger1 — this is storytelling in a nutshell. This is it!
