  • I agree with you, and I like having a hero “not win” at the end, but I want him “active” during the climax. Even though Bond is tied to a chair in CR , he’s still battling wits with Le Chiffre. He's still fighting. Indy stands there telling Mario…

  • You say “most” people, but I only hear you say this stuff like “falling by the wayside”. I mean, M giving Bond an assignment, pretty sure that hasn’t fallen by the wayside. And pretty sure it’ll be M giving Bond assignments in the future. Have yo…

  • Is there a perfect film? If so, I haven't found it. I personally love most of the Craig Era, but I have been critical of choices that didn't mesh with my tastes. But on the whole, it did its job: brought in new fans, globally were hits which indi…

  • I dunno, the last few bond films haven't "stood out", except in the wrong sense. To you. And your obsession continues…. I can wait for a new Bond film for as long as it takes, but the one thing I hope I’ll see is you finally participating …

  • https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2024/6/5/denis-villeneuve-working-on-sci-fi-film-i-am-waiting-for-you And nope, this still hasn't shifted my opinion that Villeneuve is still the leading candidate to be the B26 director, if he and his schedule al…

  • Creasy47 wrote: » Why add the realities of smoking to Bond's cinematic smoking though? In a universe of space battles and bionic eyes, I don't see why smoking would have to negatively affect him when he's running around doing everything he does as…
  • I guess if I wanted the films to show a man looking like he was late 40s/early 50s with leathery and wrinkled skin, although the character is only supposed to be in his mid 30s, who does more investigating than action, pullback on all the great stun…

  • The Avengers is a lol hot mess, but strangely watchable. Whereas I saw Spice World once, and my brain still hasn't forgiven me. And I like some of their songs, 😂!!
