  • @Mendes4Lyfe : no insiders reported that Cuaron was going to direct the next Bond picture. Only World of Reel and his buddy, The Insneider. And those two have abysmal records when it comes to agent 007. If you speak to anyone in the industry, …
  • Anyway, I don't think Pascal and Heyman are going to be very involved creatively. Then you really don’t know what a producer does, @DEKE_RIVERS . I'm still hoping the rumour that Cuaron left the project was fake, How can a director…

  • Translating Fleming beat for beat has never been done. Yes, Fleming wrote his books in the 50s and early 60s when rations were still a thing and no one had any idea what an avocado “pear” was. Fleming wrote the fantasy of a spy who dove deeply…

  • I’ve always read the Ferris wheel scene as the first moves in seducing Kara, but there’s no way they were intimate. They were interrupted. By the time Bond accepts Kara making him a martini, tells me that they were lovers by this point (hence why…
  • I must've missed the rule book that specifies that James Bond can't die. I'm one of the idiots who loves the film, and the ending. I should really be banished...
  • I assumed Bond and Kara were already intimate by the time they were in Kamran Shah's compound. And once there, they have their lover's spat, then we cut away from them when their kissing becomes a little more passionate. I certainly think this is…
  • @007ClassicBondFan ...here in Toronto, my coach was the light Canadian champ, Mario Lechowski. Right crosses are tricky, with *potentially* an easy fix: Pivot that back foot with intent. Cork-screw it into the floor with the ball of your foot …

  • Superman has always been the Boy Scout in the skies.He needs to be an optimistic and hopeful character (part of the criticism that came out of the Snyder interpretation was Superman shouldn’t be so glum and dour) James Bond has wayyyy more grey t…
  • Superman was in a little trouble, as well as the DC universe, when Gunn took over. James Bond was in quite a healthy spot when Broccoli and Wilson sold. Bond, as a brand, didn’t need to be saved. That’s why I remain agnostic. Let’s see who …
  • @SIS_HQ ”forced in DAF”?… I don’t think that was the case at all. He wasn’t forced, he was offered a huge payday, negotiated a deal for two or three other films, and, like a professional, gave the performance that matched the craziness that DAF was.
    in DAF or LALD? Comment by peter June 8
  • 🤔 🤨 I really enjoy both… LALD is the better made film; it’s highly entertaining and I’ve grown to really appreciate Moore’s debut film and how he made it look all so easy to slip in after Connery (where he must’ve had his own personal doubts. Conner…

  • @CraigMooreOHMSS — yessss!!!!! I am very much on the same page as you. My god, that scene in the bedroom was beautiful! The tension was stretched to the point I thought my brain was going to snap. That was incredibly written, directed and, of cou…
  • I think he is excellent. Even in a crowd of strong names, he owns every scene that he's in. And when he goes dark, he's even better. Really good stuff. Agreed. He’s very unpredictable in the role, and many times, especially from about episode…
  • Once I got past the wonky accent in Mobland, Brosnan was nothing short of outstanding. He was a demented, violent, psychopath, hiding under beautiful clothes and playing pretend in his big, old English house. He's a shark, and I felt especially ill …
