I don’t understand what you’re saying, @Univex . It seems the only thing some people did yesterday was not agree with one or two people. And I think there’s validity in asking: how would May propel the Bond narrative, or the story? And to f…

No, still don’t get it. I read all the points yesterday, and there was nothing untoward suggested or contradicted. There were perspectives and suggestions posted. No, this morning feeling like provocation. So, yeah, not understanding why this …

Nice example. Having a breather, a quiet moment in a Bond film isn't a bad thing. Roger Moore taking a shave in LALD, Connery doing his security check routine in Dr. No, Lazenby doing his checks in OHMSS, Connery having a shave in Goldfinger's plane…

I can’t stand coming up with titles, but I came across a line in William Shakespeare’s MacBeth and it cocked my eyebrow… Ian Fleming’s James Bond In Blood Will Get Blood (Yes, I really hate coming up with titles)

I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case, @echo . Night shoots are terrible. When I was first starting out, I was working in music videos and we did an all nighter for a Nickleback video. When I left the set that morning, I stumbled into the ris…

@Venutius , I found that interesting as well, and it must very much be water under the bridge, because as I understand it, this new project with Damon and Linman has Damon producing, from a Casey Affleck script. And if Damon's producing, he hand-…

@Benny there definitely is something to what @mtm was saying. I think I'm wearing out my welcome with too much story this, writing that, but, some of the first things I was taught was:action is character, and the word movie is from the words "moving…

I am no fan of Amazon, or many of these studios, but I think their people likely did financial forecasts for Roadhouse and saw they'd lose money distributing to cinema. Linman knows this too. But he's a notoriously strange man, and is known fo…
