  • Sometimes the things seen on screen are just that: elements of a story that the creatives want to tell, with no other meaning to it, other than it works for the storytellers. I honestly don't understand the need to assume what a scene means based…

  • As I told someone else, @talos7 , I’m really at a loss. They have been all in on the series and the game. That’s their brand and they surprisingly (to me), have been very busy shepherding these two projects. Unfortunately, these two things have l…
  • I'm not worried. I wasn't exactly a Brosnan fan. I went to everyone in the cinema, and I always walked out really disappointed. But never did I once think that this is where Bond stops. I just knew it wasn't my cup of tea, and a new era would …

  • @CrabKey et al who is misremembering Barbara Broccoli’s quote. She’s not looking at Goldeneye for inspiration; she said she looks back at this time in history when the world said that James Bond wasn’t needed or relevant: “I go back to Golden…
  • I’m not sure if I see Amalric as a Pleasance’esque Blofeld, but I can see a sadistic and creepy Le Chiffre @mtm and @007ClassicBondFan … good call mtm.

  • @SIS_HQ , I have read your statements, and one doesn’t have to do with the other. They are separate entities in entirely different mediums….
  • mtm wrote: » What's it got to do with IFP? Bingo.
  • “Lethargic caretakers”, “protests” “Lucy Fleming”???? Either not relevant to making films, or just flat-out hyperbolic and untrue exclamations.

  • @Scaramanga1974 … I thought that WAS Cruise riding the bike!
  • I hear you @mtm … for me LTK’s visuals are lacking, especially in the first half, but for me, when Bond infiltrates Sanchez’s gang, the entire film suddenly becomes interesting and exciting…. I find Dalton’s performance really picks up (it’s like Da…
  • The Moore double bill I could not answer since I’d watch any of those four films on any day. But this next one is easy: Timothy’s two films by quite a margin!
  • I was just thinking that this didn’t age so well, @Mendes4Lyfe : “It's anything to put off the day we have someone besides Daniel Craig in the tux, I fear... “ If you actually read my posts, rather than twisting it to fit your narrative, i was…
  • SAG going back to table this Tuesday with studios. Hopefully they can all play nice.
