  • @RogerJonMoorePertwee , no problem, and, yes, it’s definitely a blow… and quite a substantial one. Hopefully when this over, we enter a new and healthy era!! @Dwayne no problem!!
  • @RogerJonMoorePertwee there are a 160,000 members of SAG-AFTRA; the only actors, who are also members of this guild, and can still work on a film, have to be hired on independent features (no financing from any studio). And even then, the actors nee…

  • @mtm i absolutely believe his love of the movies. It’s been his entire life, his education, his job, his everything. He is richer than god, needs not one more pay check and could live another life in great comfort. And you’re right: he, like othe…
  • In ‘87 I was 13, so I probably wasn’t aware of Cruise’s affiliation until much later…. @007ClassicBondFan , I agree with everything you said. And I always thought Brad Pitt to be a character actor stuck in a Hollywood hunk’s body. I’m usually ver…
  • @mtm Cruise is a true screen vet, there’s no denying that. And his commitment to delivering is unmatched. He’s obsessed to give the best and squeeze out every last drop. The Scientology thing is, generally, disturbing. Actually, it’s absolutely d…

  • @007ClassicBondFan I’ve written about my dislike for Cruise, which first arose when I was a kid and I hated Top Gun. I was the only one in my group of friends who couldn’t stand the flick. And my dislike has only grown over time, including hearin…
  • Happy birthday, @LucknFate , and enjoy this amazing film on the big screen. I hope you report back on the “new things” that you discover!

  • @slide_99 is an authority on a film they've never watched before....

  • AIR….. whoever thought that a film about a sneaker company would be so riveting, humorous and intense. Well done to director, Ben Affleck, for keeping things tight and moving the story forward. Great fun (and on-point 80s nostalgia, 😂)
  • The latest: https://deadline.com/2023/07/sag-strike-actors-waiver-rebel-wilson-movie-interim-agreement-1235439316/ Still lots of questions and too few answers… There were posts on other threads about why it takes Bond so long to recast… or…

  • Very nicely said, @DarthDimi , and a reminder that we all have our special talents (for example, I love being a father, but I don't have the patience nor the passion to teach young adults, as you do!!). I've met some very unique and talented peop…
  • Sincere thanks, @DarthDimi !! As I’ve said, it’s always nice to surprisingly receive these well wishes. I appreciate every single one of them.
  • Oh thanks @SecretAgentMan⁰⁰⁷ ! Really that’s very nice of you, and I appreciate the very nice wishes sent my way (it’s a little embarrassing!). We seemingly are still in the clear ( 🤞 ), and my producer is experienced. It’s amazing watching her navi…
  • Some more info for anyone interested… details for indie features are becoming clearer… But Bond and others that are affiliated with studios are just stuck in the mud, with no where to go until people sit at the table. And that just ain’t happening. …
  • None taken @CrabKey .
  • An unknown… I would love something “unpredictable” from the new guy.
  • Yes @mtm give me a real woman with intelligence and genuine beauty over a centrefold fantasy any day of the week….

  • Agree 100% @mtm …. I loved your idea , and then when you added to it, I literally saw a flash of animation, add the Bond theme blaring…. Perhaps a fan-project for the future, 😂???
