  • I imagine that with the dismal failure of The Flash and the disappointing results from Indy, combined with the good will of Maverick, this next M:I instalment will reap its largest box office take ever. People want entertainment, and we love our sum…
  • And my home city looked awesome in it...The Lakeview is a cool diner, and many films and TV shows shoot there...

  • Just make the best film you can, whether that takes one year or six years— I don’t care
  • WHY DOES CRUISE HATE HIS FANS?! WHY IS HE MAKING MOVIES IN BETWEEN?! Yep. It’s exhausting to read, and I’m more an idiot for even responding; it’s the definition of madness. Plus, most of the “facts” that most of these complainers write, a…
  • What low point are you talking about @Mendes4Lyfe ? I’m certainly not comparing where Bond was in the late 80s and where they are today. You may be, I’m not. I merely stated competition has been escalating, especially since the late 80s. However …
  • @Mendes4Lyfe ... You posted a day ago that fans should have more patience... In the end, yes, Bond has more competition than at any other time in the history of the series... But this competition has been escalating, and, especially in the late 8…
  • No, not directed at you, @CrabKey ... But I think we know the difference between someone repeating thoughts and conversations, and those being little brats... It's like pornography and art: it's difficult to describe, but I know it when I see it, or…
  • What to keep, or not to keep from the Craig Era… I’m not sure one should think about it in these terms… Instead, have the creative team spitball ideas and a general direction for the new James Bond, whomever he may be. Once that is agreed upon…

  • I will posit there's a huge chasm between expressing a desire, and being a repetitive brat about any subject, including when the next Bond will be released...
  • Very easy choice for me: lightning wasn’t going to strike twice, especially for Lazenby, and Dalton is a fascinating (if flawed) James Bond. I’d give a lot to see a third Dalton film… I’d be curious if he could keep the great things he did as the ch…

  • I'm with you @Fire_and_Ice_Returns
  • I loved Season 1 of SNW, and Picard S3 knocked it right out of the park, so I was really looking forward to SNW S2. Unfortunately I was underwhelmed by the first episode, and I turned off the second one about fifteen minutes in. I will retry this…
  • talos7 wrote: » Campbell taking Bond. https://screenrant.com/james-bond-26-aaron-taylor-johnson-casting-martin-campbell/ Ahhh, common sense ... It's refreshing to read. Thank you Mr. Campbell!
  • I love John Pearson’s biography of Bond; I always find Bond’s relationship with, and assassination of his lover, Marthe de Brandt, fascinating to read. I’d love for this to somehow weave itself into the Bond character…
