  • I also think if one wants to learn what true fitness and health is really about in today’s world, look at Jeremy Renner and his recovery from a near death experience. Lifting weights is a part of the protocol that has helped a man who was told he’d …

  • SecretAgentMan⁰⁰⁷ wrote: » Yeah @007HallY Or maybe the blind villain rumour that was floating around NTTD then. I don't know, maybe we just need peculiar and colourful villains for Bond 7's era, like the early Bond films did. That would also help …
  • The Aston Martin itself was conceived as a sort of ‘supercar’, with all these elaborate gadgets added on. I mean, the film even has laser beams, that’s how much more fantasy they injected into it. Yeah we go from a tricked out briefcase to a …

  • I wonder if the back to back'ish plan that M:I tried to execute (granted some if it was during COVID) spooked them a little? Especially with Part Two being dropped from the the Mission title?
