Straight adventure, early in his career, but not a puppy/rookie. Three, four, five years into his double-O status...

@FoxRox , I don’t think you’re the only one who loves Kravitz. Everyone who I know, who saw the film, really liked her. I was definitely in the minority. And I agree Hathaway wasn’t to blame. It was written so blandly. Apart from her long hair an…

@FoxRox I can’t deny that I like how they set up the Bat’s relationship with the Cat in The Batman. I did. And definitely found it an upgrade on Hathaway (Nolan can’t write women; why he doesn’t get his brother, or better yet, his sister-in-law t…

I think Pattinson was solid as The Bat, but the pacing of the film was a slog. Too many scenes went on and on. Unfortunately for me, I think Kravitz looked like a girl, pretending to be a woman. Michelle is still my Catwoman ( ❤️)

It’s a 60 year franchise, and, if at the end of the film, it’s stated: James Bond will return, I think, as has been the case for the majority of audiences, they know a new actor and era is on its way, @jetsetwilly . If the global audiences were c…

Sorry @jetsetwilly ... That incomplete thought was an error. My original thought is now posted above. But I'll answer that, or try: the general ideas of the novels/films you mention above translated well to screen because of the broad brush strok…

Oh wow. So much to unpack to understand. I'm going to take a stab at this: A book and a film are two different art forms. What may work in one's mind, may not work well for a film. Two, having Craig Bond wander off at the end of NTTD, only …

I'll admit, I really enjoy TMWTGG theme song. It's so balls-to-the-wall crazy, it always puts a smile on my face. It's sleazy, but knows it. It skates a fine line between being distatesful and outright pornographic. And it sounds like Lulu's havi…

I think the first half of TND was Brosnan at his best. He was fun to watch.

I don’t think you’re incorrect @fjdinardo …. Bond’s box office numbers seem to have had a ceiling, and then, boom, a one billion dollar release. It’s not hard to imagine this weighed heavily on the development of the script: how are we going to have…
-
I could be mistaken, but I think the only ones to say that the footage was destroyed were the directors. Rest assured there is a master copy out there somewhere.

Spectre could have been more enjoyable with improved pacing. They knew the script wasn’t up to scratch, but they needed to get shooting, so…… If I was EoN, I’d have paid top dollar for an editor; I wouldn’t have hired one of Nolan’s guys, that’s …

https://deadline.com/2023/08/warner-bros-discovery-david-zaslav-gunnar-wiedenfels-strikes-1235453950/ And Wall Street remains happy as their projections were far exceeded. I fear this sit down with the WGA on Friday is performative. Listen to …

SAG-AFTRA has really screwed a lot of independent features with their waivers, especially when awarding struck companies like Amazon and Apple!!!! For our film, The Circle, we have a cast in waiting, with one American actor who wants to play the …

Well, like I said, OHMSS was my favourite Bond film (until NTTD came along), and I just had no problem with the use of the song. It didn't feel jarring in the least. It flowed. It was ironic. I didn't give it a second thought, other than how beau…
-
I don't know why, @SIS_HQ , and quite frankly, I don't care. To me, WHATTITW in the world worked for me and was poignant and not insulting, in the least. And PS: WHATTITW is a lot different from the songs you chose above... namely it's a great so…
-
Well, not going to try and change your mind, @SIS_HQ ... But WHATTITW is not a "stolen piece " from OHMSS. EoN owns this piece of music, and can do whatever they want with it. To me, it's the same as if the 007 theme came back again. In any se…
-
WHATTITW never bothered me. Thematically it works for me as a nice piece of irony (Bond has anything but time, once we meet him five years later). And, considering this is a piece of EoN's property, they can do whatever they please with it. In this …

I think you're probably right @MakeshiftPython ; although I imagine both unions will want to go over this voodoo accounting that they've done in the past to compare what they did, and what they're offering now.

The interesting point, which I hear will be a sticking point @MakeshiftPython and @LucknFate and @Pierce2Daniel (EDIT: and @DarthDimi and @Venutius (I just saw your recent comments and didn't want to exclude you guys!): Both the WGA and SAG-AFT…

I’m not saying you’re wrong @jetsetwilly , but also, at the same time, how many people on this site? I don’t know, but there are many of us. And out of the many, quite a few members wrote their thoughts on NTTD…. Dozens and dozens of individuals.…
