@Dragonpol and @Ludovico , have you read The War of Art, by Steven Pressfield? It’s a game changer. https://www.indigo.ca/en-ca/the-war-of-art-break-through-the-blocks-and-win-your-inner-creative-battles/9781936891023.html

I think the notion of sex in Bond films is the least of the worries in the upcoming era. Stick with what they started in the Brozz era, that improved mightily in the Craig years: write strong female characters like Natalya, the concept behind Mrs…

I knew nothing about Styles other than my girls had a crush on him and he dresses like a poor version of David Bowie at premieres, so this was the first time I laid eyes on him earnest. Even though I found his performance uneven in DWD, I didn’t …

@talos7 I agree, he has got charisma and the camera loves him. He's only going to get better and better as an actor. I think he needs more time in the oven for his tools of the craft to catch up with his undeniable and big-star presence, but he's go…

@Benny , I didn’t know too much about Wilde as a director (I think she has one or two other films under her belt), but I was blown away by the care that each and every scene took to tell us this story. It was quite amazing, from the costumes, to the…

I think the gap will play a role, no matter how good the film is. It's the time the creatives need to tell the story they want to tell. That has value. If you rush that process, you'll be able to see it in the final production (examples: QOS and …
