  • @Colonel_Venus , you should read this: https://hmssweblog.wordpress.com/ It’s the most sober, brief and realistic explanation of why Nolan likely won’t be a director of James Bond. And the writer of the article, like me, throws a splash of cold w…

  • When you write on assignment, you don’t create in a vacuum. The producers and creatives work together to create the story that best fits what the producers want to bring to market.

  • Gavin was such a putrid actor, stagey as stagey could ever be; at least Brolin has a gruff and masculine presence. I’ll go Brolin
  • 007HallY wrote: » If there's one thing Nolan needs in some of his films, it's a good Second Unit team. The direction of the truck chase in TDK really is all over the place. You’re so right @007HallY … shooting action is a skill unto itself …

  • If this CR from the 60s would be at the expense of the Craig CR, then I'd much rather have NSNA (again).
