  • @CrabKey , I’ve spoken about NTTD and my thoughts on the themes so many times; in fact I was told I’m reading into it a little too much, 😂. It’s all on these threads, so…
  • @mtm … as an artist, do you see the above as animated? Even in the style of CR’s opening credits? I just got a flash of what you said as an animated conclusion…. 🤔 (?)
  • @DewiWynBond … I don’t think I’ve ever engaged you in any conversation, none that I can remember. And I doubt there will ever be reason for me to do so in the future. So I’ll politely ask for you not to engage with me. It’s obvious you like to…
  • Just catching up on this very unique thread. I actually had the opportunity to read the work @ColonelSun has put into this project. It’s so bloody well researched and the characters (and how they’re affected by a “visitation”), are so layered and re…

  • Are you asking me, or others @DewiWynBond? That’s a neat way of being passive-aggressive, 😂.
  • but Nolan is not right for Bond. I wholeheartedly agree with this. His films to date, even his so-called “Bondian” ones, just aren’t … Bond.
  • “The 2023 Hollywood strikes will have a major impact on franchises like the MCU and DCU, delaying even further their upcoming film and TV projects.” This from both Deadline and Screenrant. EDIT: just saw your post @Creasy47 … I think your assu…
  • Thank you for that @AgentM72 … very kind of you! I sincerely appreciate it! It’s incredibly tough to put films together in the best of times. This has been tricky going for everyone. So thank you for that little boost!
  • And still more thoughts on what damage these strikes can do, this one specifically involving the actors strike: https://canoe.com/entertainment/hollywood-strikes-bring-uncertainty-to-local-businesses-as-tiff-nears Our favourite festivals, stil…
  • Agreed that Nolan is far too cold and, to date (pre Oppenheimer), has never even entered the doorway of "sexy"... I've never liked his female characters, and generally, find him an ill-suited storyteller for James Bond and his adventures. I have …
  • Oh damn, @mtm ... I really love this idea. Wow. Edit: I get your perspective @SIS_HQ ,but it doesn't have to be a betrayal to Craig Bond. Recreating some of the classics as Craig (although I'd take out the space shuttle), I think could be a celeb…

  • That makes absolute sense, @Mendes4Lyfe … Your brilliance is mind-blowing… Your instincts are, once again, on point. How’d you get inside of the heads of BB and MGW??? Of course they’re ashamed of the legacy they were born into! It makes sense they'…
  • @DarthDimi ... I am on an a legitimate independent film; I have the rights to BA Paris's The Therapist and have adapted her novel into a script called The Circle. I am working with a producer who does have companies in the US that are signatories to…
  • Oliver Stone weighing in: “The studio is always telling you that they’re losing money, but they always find a way to make a new level of profit for 10, 15 years. … It’s that perpetual industrial problem with a capitalist group that pays its execu…

  • You utterly missed the point of NTTD, @Mendes4Lyfe ... And keep holding onto that "feeling"... Right now Hollywood and producers are more concerned about these strikes... And even more worried about the aftermath... There are going to be all kind…
  • I’ve got the majority of it, including my own experience and answering some questions…. April 15 Posts: 6,975Flag https://deadline.com/2023/04/wga-members-social-media-strike-authorization-mini-rooms-low-pay-1235325814/ Just an update. Not…
  • It’s not good at all @DarthDimi … I’ve written about this on other threads…. I’ll have to find what I did write and transport it over to this thread.

  • @Mendes4Lyfe what are you going on about? I’m not the biggest fan of Spectre, but: The PTS and the costumes and the location. The Spectre meeting is iconic in imagery. The assassination of Lucia’s would-be killers. The seduction of Lu…

  • That’s nice of you, @SecretAgentMan⁰⁰⁷ ! Thank you!
  • Yeah, those 90s flicks were cool @peter Great practical stunts! Agreed…. Watching the first three Indy films recently, and oh boy, Spielberg just knew how to set it up, and then, as the sequence played out, he’d elevate the struggle… So much …

  • And @M_Blaise he created a completely fictitious acquaintance of his who’d come on this site to glowingly speak of how Jason saved him, introduced him to Bond, etc., etc… it was strange reading all of that in real time…
  • I never judged Brosnan films against contemporary films. I judged him in the present-time where I watched him. And I knew then, that this just wasn’t the era for me. I still went to each, but most of the time I was bored silly. And @SecretAgen…
  • Looking now with a modern eye, I can point out some flaws that went wrong in the Brosnan Era (and maybe his portrayal of Bond), but it's necessary at the time. I saw plenty I didn’t like in his performance at the time. But in the same brea…
