as terrible as TWINE is, I think it got the intimacy of Elektra's death just right. Except when Pierce goes over and gives her a good sniffing… And not using an outline? Writers can sometimes be notoriously lazy. They fall in love with the…

@MaxCasino , but how do you know that P and W were the ones that came up with Bond going rogue? I don't have the answer, but how do we know that wasn't what the producers wanted and told them to put it in the scripts, like they told Hodge: write …

Ahahaha I don’t mind what you’re working on there, @mtm (and I’m also a huge fan of the entire third act of SF (well, actually, the whole film), and I do believe in part, that they went all in on Haggis's more spectacle approach because a) they need…

Look at Haggis and Logan, I think both did wonders for CR and SF respectively. But even this isn’t without controversy: according to Haggis, P&W’s script for CR skewed closer to the book when depicting Vesper’s death. He found it lacke…

I was going to bring up TWINE and SF too, @007HallY, so thank you!! It goes to show that if ten writers were given the exact same subject to write about, we'd deliver ten, very different scripts (not to talk about how these stories start to chan…

Character actor... Box office champs have short life expectancies, but character actors have honed their craft and built a stable career proving value and worth every time they're hired.....

@talos7 , another good question and really could be one of two things: they have a macguffin in mind, or they want a macguffin, don’t know what it is, only that they want one, and have their writers come up with something cinematic. @mtm difficul…

Thanks for the correction @Mallory … so what I said about distributors having a say, is fair. It still goes on today. But I'm sure that where BB and MGW were back in ‘97 was a very different place to where they are today. But the distributor still h…

Must be tired: Correct me if I’m wrong on this, but MGM distributed some, if not all, of the Brosnan pics, correct? If so, it’s fair for the distributor to have a say in the cast since they’re also selling the film to market. And in the case …

Teri Hatcher? What happened there? She beat up Barbara Broccoli or something?

But @007ClassicBondFan … you’re not understanding: when EoN and partners put their financing together, they make projections on box office returns…, okay? and, prior to the outlier of SF, 007 adventures weren’t projected to make over a billion. Bond…

Oh boy… @007ClassicBondFan : The fact that SF made a billion was an outlier. Bond films were consistently making half a billion and, when Craig came on the scene, it went up… But a billion was an outlier…. SPECTRE came back to earth, but…

Hi Mark! In your research is there a continuation novel, or novels, that is closest to Fleming? I did enjoy Colonel Sun, but missed the Fleming “flow”, and I quit Gardener’s books about halfway through his tenure. John Pearson’s biography was …

@007ClassicBondFan … Craig is considered the most popular Bond since Connery. There’s been a vocal minority that has always despised him, and have always tried to throw him under the bus. But his box office, reviews and audience reception has consis…

Killers of the Flower Moon... Three and a half hours of hypnotic filmmaking. Unbelievable real life story, picture perfect direction, performances that fill the screen, especially Lily Gladstone. Such a rich and beautifully layered film that depicts…

They definitely were, @DarthDimi ... Read the study as well. Very interesting and I can't deny the results. If one were to have high blood pressure I wouldn't recommend, but think about how much sea salt you put on your steak for one meal. So …
