  • Oh wow, he's even called Vincent!! Thanks @Feyador !! I'm giving this a watch right now... Wow I can't believe these first few scenes!!! I had no idea!!! This is amazing!!!
  • Had no idea Mann remade Heat from one this earlier films. That's very cool.
  • I will definitely be watching this.

  • Perhaps he’s producing it? And giving an up and comer a shot? I hadn’t heard this was being done, but it certainly be interesting to see the script updated and then a new pair of hands spinning it, under the guidance of the original creator?
  • Fincher is far more accomplished and better visual storytelling abilities… But in the end, like actors, I don’t think any one director can be compared to another. Like actors, each director brings his/hers own sensibilities, so while maybe coveri…
  • Something was lost in text. I really wasn't looking for a fight or a debate. If we were sitting in a cafe discussing Scorsese films, I'd be asking you questions about your statement, @MaxCasino , not to argue or debate, but to discuss. I thought …

  • Nice @talos7 , and I'll also take a prime rib, medium rare... (GF)!
  • I watched TLD last night, and I agree with you @thedove ... The actors didn't have pop and sizzle with each other, and I agree with @mtm that Carey and Tim were better suited. Last night I also felt there were scenes where Kara really did come of…

  • DEKE_RIVERS wrote: » Yeah it's my opinion. Anyway... NTTD is the longest James Bond movie. It is, and; it is?!?!?! And @Jordo007 … I don’t know why my eye was drawn to those two wine glasses, but I loved the touch. Put a smile on my face.

  • 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-…
