Yes very significant move for the studios since they ignored any and all offers to get back to the bargaining table. The studios only answer to Wall Street, so your guess is probably correct @MakeshiftPython ...

Edit: this article states that the deal was struck before the strike. Which doesn’t pass the smell test: The strike commenced May 2. They announced this July 27, I believe. And this deal happened “some time” before the strike. Which mean…

As far as my understanding, all deals stopped as soon as the bargaining agreement expired. This Lando deal was announced last week: https://deadline.com/2023/07/donald-glover-stephen-glover-lando-lucasfilm-star-wars-disney-1235450013/amp/ T…

I hope so too, @Venutius

Agreed @echo. I'm finding Pike is less their Captain in S2, and more the crew's big brother. And I don't mean to offend anyone who likes this show, but I can't stand the casting of Kirk.

He’d be annihilated by the WGA, but no one is talking about this deal (that’s just be announced). Even if he’s not actively writing right now, he’s not supposed to even be engaging with the studios (but presently, writers are accusing a writer from …

Now put your clothes back on, and I’ll buy you an ice cream…..

I don’t know how Donald Glover struck a deal Disney to write the Lando TV series, if the writers strike is in full swing? I was just texted this and I haven’t read the full articles, but something stinks here…. I hope there’s a simple explanation…

@Venutius … very much agree. I loved Jamaica, but Fukunaga is a smart cookie; he left us wanting more and he didn’t overstay his welcome in Jamaica; the same can be said of Cuba. Leave the audience wanting more (and I certainly wanted more of …

I love the way McQ thinks (who'd have made an M:I film, which leading lady would have starred).. Being in my early-mid teens in the last couple years of the 80s, I can't argue with his choices.

I love Robert Davi in LTK, and I think he elevates Dalton’s performance (which to me, felt uneven before Bond infiltrates Sanchez’s organization). The two really work well off each other, but… TLD is a top six Bond film for me. There are flaws, b…

NTTD is kind of interesting, because there we see him working against M briefly (who is no longer his commanding officer, so the sense of duty has wained) because M has apparently done something not for the right reasons. Bond's morality easily over…

Bond vs Star Wars… who knows, he’s playing it coy… https://screenrant.com/christopher-nolan-star-wars-movie-plays-coy/

Heat 2… A masterpiece.

This is from a writing perspective/review on Oppenheimer. There are SPOILERS in this article. Thought it may be of interest. I have yet to see the film, so I can’t say whether this critique is on the ball or not (but he echoes all my fear a…

Hold on, that article that Mendes said he declined an offer to direct Bond was a re-written piece from ten years ago . He said he was busy doing stage productions on Lear and Charlie and The Chocolate Factory (which he was involved with in 2013, or …

There are times when his Bond seemed almost excited to be doing what he was doing @007HallY .. or in SF, rushing into the courthouse, pointing his gun at Mallory, winking, re-aiming and shooting the fire extinguisher. One of my favourite all …

Yes, I don’t know the box office numbers, but I don’t think one James Bond film has lost money on the investment, they always turn a profit. Sixty years has been magical. May it continue to roll… But, I agree with @mtm … the post Covid box office…

@007ClassicBondFan , you may be right: Aquaman has the producers sweating . They’re in well known re-shoots and edits to try and salvage a product that they’re all not happy with. As an aside: I’ve met Jason Mamoa. He lived right by us while shoo…

Nice review @Pierce2Daniel … Several of my friends have texted similar opinions. First Act was a slog. Second was genius. Third had some people a little confused if they didn’t know some of Oppenheimer’s downfall…
