It’s like Roger was always on vacation. He enjoyed life, methinks…

EDIT: just saw the updated opening weekend numbers for Oppenheimer. Almost $90 million is a muscular opening, and once again, I happily stand corrected. 😂. I wasn’t following too closely to all the numbers and projections leading into this— I’m s…

Adjusted box office for Inception is $73 million, not sure what Interstellar’s was. So it’s running up there with the best of his non-Bat flicks. You boys are awfully excited about this when someone admits that their predictions were off in every…

My thinking was based on the fact that the 35 and up crowd complain that there are no films for them anymore; that it’s family pics and superheroes in the cinemas. I believed that Nolan’s name, his cast, and the adult subject matter would have ha…

I suspected that these two films would have strong openings, but— Barbie’s trouncing Oppenheimer by a significant margin. I wouldn’t have guessed that, but there it is.

I love TB. It was the first one I saw (it was on television); I was just a very young boy, and when Bond punched the “widow”, and a fight broke out in the study, that led to a jet pack that led to the Aston that sprayed water…. I literally fell i…

The Young trilogy….

I think his timing and humour were superior in DAF. And the lines were killer. Definitely DAF…

He was ill with Alzheimer’s these last few years, but amazingly, at least for a while, it seemed this disease didn’t affect him when he got in front of the piano to sing (I believe it was with Anderson Cooper interviewing him, that they showed this)…

https://variety.com/ Now we are starting to see completed films, or almost completed films start pushing back release dates. This will further delay other projects, jamming everything up on the release side (not to talk about all the projects in …

Correct @DarthDimi … and what I think most people don’t realize are all the writers and actors we know of, are a very tiny fragment of these unions. Not every actor is paid like Christian Bale or Jennifer Lawrence. Most of this talent are really wor…

Thanks @ColonelAdamski ! It’s all in the way someone expresses themselves. I’ve had many posts on this forum with me exchanging dialogue with those who are respectful of my views and me of theirs. It’s always interesting and enlightening. Unfo…

Wait, @slide_99 , you finally watched the film you’re so highly critical of, 😂… Edit: honestly, @slide_99 , this is like me criticizing Dead Reckoning, a film I will never watch. This is like critiquing a book where I flipped through a few pages,…

I’m still learning, @DarthDimi , and I have no problem trying to answer these questions to the best of my ability. So don’t be shy. If I don’t know an answer I can always ask a peer with more knowledge! All I’m sure of is the writers (me inclu…

Brilliant!

I like the way you put that, @MakeshiftPython

John Barry was a god and elevated the films he worked on (Bond, or not; I like Diamonds and TMWTGG more so because of his special gifts). His music and talents will never be listened to again. So although I appreciate Arnold, I passionately will …

@DarthDimi : Re: streamer like Netflix: 1/ with feature films going straight to streamers and no longer having a theatrical run, these tech studios have been playing fast and loose with the terms: made-for-tv film and feature film. Now they won’…

@007HallY … his new found voice certainly disrupted a twenty year relationship he had with Warners. Publicly he complained he was ticked that WB was shuttling all of their features to streaming during Covid (I don’t see why he cared. Cinemas were cl…

@007HallY , you’ve nailed what would likely happen based off of EoN’s preferred methodology of hiring a director. EoN does things a certain way, their way, and there’s no indication that that is about to change.
-
@007HallY , that’s his MO…. As one review stated about Oppenheimer, Nolan (like his subject), ends up making it about himself. The release of Tenet, a half-baked, undercooked script, was about him releasing this film so he saved cinema during the…

@echo …. We are twins, my friend. I hate slamming actors or flicks that people get enjoyment from, but, man, you nailed my feelings exactly. Perfectly summarizes my dislike and discomfort ! Wow.
