  • I don't know anything about the actor playing Superman, and I want to keep it that way, so I won't be watching anything he has done before... But he looks like one helluva big boy. Way bigger than Routh, and he appears thicker than even Cavill. …
  • Huh, good point @Fire_and_Ice_Returns . I remember thinking that was a cool shot of Cavill when that pic was first revealed. And yeah, putting on your boots as if you’re going out for a walk… it does lack drama, but now I wonder, is it supposed t…
  • Ah nice! His posts are very interesting, always cool to read. An absolute gentleman, @007HallY . Very funny. Very talented, he’s a writer-director now. This weekend I had the pleasure of reading something he’s working on. He’s a great storyt…
  • I was so deeply disappointed in Craig and Seydoux in SP. They had a terrible first meeting, with an interview which barely did anything other than to tell us how close Bond was to White (would White have answered the questionaire too differently)? …
  • I'm with @creasy, except for, I'd like to see Nate and the Avs take out Dallas. I know Dallas is a talented and hard working team, and I don't know why I'm not a fan. But I'm not... But I'd like to see the Panthers knee cap the Bruins-- the faste…

  • No problem, @Kojak007 👍. And, yes, @echo , it would have to be awfully tempting for Villeneuve to consider being the director to kick-start the new era.

  • Thanks @FoxRox !!! Win or lose, I just want them to show up! And fight! I’ll be sad if the Leafs don’t make it to the next round, BUT, if they leave everything on the ice, as they have done these past two games, I will have nothing to really comp…

  • Thanks @sandbagger1 ! I still agree that Mangold has a pedigree that just chatting with him would likely be valuable to EoN. There’s nothing to lose in having a meeting with a director who is as versatile as he is, right? I mean in a three or fou…
  • This was just posted a week ago, as rumours continue to swirl: “Franky — and I cannot believe I would say that — but the answer would be a massive yes. I would deeply love to one day make a James Bond movie,” Villeneuve said. “It’s a character th…
