  • And I'm not saying the next actor has too look like Hoagy either, but I would like the next actor to resemble traditional cinematic Bond, either someone like Aidan Turner (Connery/Laz mould) or ATJ (Dalton/Brozza mould). I have to admit, ther…
  • @slide_99 , have you at least watched NTTD to judge the one American director who worked on a Bond film? And no women directors? Why? There are some fine up and comers working in genre who could certainly helm a Bond film. Why no women directors?…
  • My thoughts exactly, @SomethingThatAteHim

  • But @AstonLotus — who cares what anyone says? I haven’t watched the above videos, but I’m assuming they haven’t seen the film. And even if they had, why’d you keep posting these things? Is it to make a point that “Hollyweird” has destroyed anothe…

  • That may be how to “reinvent “ the new Bond era: create the antagonist, make sure there are interesting global hotspots, feed the fandom with a casino scene, but where the last era leaned into the internal character of James Bond, perhaps the new er…

  • Dead Wish 3 is the greatest amongst the great of trash z-films. Always love it, 😂!

  • I don’t remember the last time I read what a critic wrote, beyond a headline (which they done write anyways)— and I certainly don’t watch any reviews online. If I’m interested in a film, I’ll see it. If not, then maybe one day…. But I find …

  • Some here sound like they read certain “news sites” that have been posting much about the new Indiana Jones film; they claim that PWB punches Indy and “bosses” him around like a “Mary Sue”. Although they haven’t yet seen the film, these sites claim …

  • Joel Edgerton would be a great choice. He’s a far stronger actor than Harnett.

  • @ImpertinentGoon , Kirk is a well known pathological liar. She's poison in the industry. If BB and MGW were ten paces in front of her, it's still too close for comfort. There's no smoke. No fire. Not until after a script is developed.
  • Considering they created her character in later drafts, and considering Ana was called into the cast quite late in the game, I think the character was perfect in this sequence; it was done well and left the audience wanting more. However, if she pl…
  • My youngest daughter and I did Citadel— one of the best comedies we’ve seen. We especially loved the most unsexy couple, doing the most unsexy things, while pouting and trying to look sexy. The fight scenes would go on for excruciatingly long period…

  • Oh yes @echo … Agreed… I hadn’t seen that look in Craig-Bond’s eyes since QOS as he and Camille are surrounded by an inferno, and death seemed their only option. Craig never strayed too far away from a man with an unconscious death wish….

  • @AstonLotus et al, you don't know how films are made. No one person makes a Decision for a three hundred million dollar film. Craig may've said in 2006, or whenever, that he'd love for his tenure to end with James Bond dying, but every choice …

  • This has surely run its course? Not the sex and Bond talk, but Severine…. I think @mtm has been clear, so I’m not exactly sure why this specific sub-topic is on a hamster wheel? Is there anything more to discuss, or has it been exhausted? As f…
  • @HildebrandRarity … I agree with you ; I believe FB2 was why she left Eve, and the second season was quite a dip for me. So much so that I didn’t watch the third (and final season? Or is there a fourth? I really didn’t like Season 2 and lost all int…

  • Some boys are in fear of PWB because she frustrates the hell out of them. Fleabag shows a woman who seems sexually free; she’s also witty, combative, rebellious, funny, and, as we find out in her journey, troubled and guilt ridden and complicated. A…

  • She’s doing a transactional deal the only way she knows how to: by using her body… It’s baked into her hardwiring after being trapped and exploited in the sex trade as a 12 or 13 year old. And was Severine disappointed Bond didn’t arrive because …
  • Two attractive people, in dangerous situations... It's not hard to fathom... You don't need a woman helplessly falling into Bond's arms, nor Bond falling in love... Hemingway's last wife discussed the sexual energy in Europe during the Second Wor…

  • Try watching the barnyard scene with your daughters. My girls, who are now 18 and 19 despise that scene— I’m not sure it’d be too far removed of what their feelings might be if they were in the cinemas in ‘64, but; whatever disgust they feel with th…
