  • Burton’s Batman Returns any day of the week.
  • Wow, @echo that was one helluva critique!! Thanks for sharing! I can't agree with you more about Nolan as a screenwriter. Absolutely horrible, and the New Yorker notes it's an exercise in "connecting the dots". It's clear to me that the last few …

  • I just watched Oppenheimer for the second time. I'm just wondering, outside of this being a very flawed, but, in the same breath, excellent film, what makes one see Nolan as a Bond director? There's nothing in Oppenheimer to suggest he's this …

  • I don't think Gala was shallow at all. If anything, she was guarded around Bond, and for good reason (she was obviously attracted to him, as he definitely was for her; as their mission progressed and danger heightened, so do sexual urges, and the en…

  • Thanks, @Mathis1 ! @Birdleson — who do you think, a person, people, or entity, could take on the universe of James Bond and deliver films more up your alley? I just can’t fathom there being anyone who wouldn’t just destroy the character via ov…
  • Thanks @DarthDimi (now I’m blushing, 😂)!

  • Oh thank you, @007ClassicBondFan !
  • @delfloria , I have read through some bad scripts, and it's true that within the first few pages you do see a story falling off the rails, and Act I is the "easiest" part to writing a script (Act II is usually the place where many scripts come to di…
  • Tiger Tanaka. At least I know he won’t try and bribe me into marrying his daughter after one drink! Tiger will at least show me the city, take me for a ride on his private train, ply me full of sake and then treat me to a “bath” at the end of the ev…

  • Third for me. My favourite as a child. Great music. Connery looking like a weapon. And that kick to the guard…. It’s only been pushed out of my number one, begrudgingly, and only relatively recently… Short, sweet and incredibly cool.
