  • //Everybody's got their opinions but are you having a wind-up here? Speed, really? Fun film but far from the greats// @BT3366 I assure you no wind-up here. I know that SPEED is basically DIE HARD on a bus but damn if it isn’t the most spectacular…
  • RAIDERS is great (especially for its time) but it can’t surpass some classic 90s thrillers like SPEED! That’s a movie that whenever it comes on you can’t help but stop what you’re doing and tune in. Dennis Hopper is such a great villain it it!! And …

  • I’m still recovering from the excitement that was M:I-FALLOUT (which I just saw, I know I’m late to the party). One of the most incredible things I’ve seen on the big screen I literally have lost all hope that modern-day Bond can compete with this n…
  • @peter, well they can’t own whatever he didn’t put down on paper or convey to them verbally. If he left midstream then they only own what he gave them. The rest they need to fill in the blanks themselves.

  • Get Robert Elswit on board. His work on Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation (using natural colors of course) was amazing!! Not to mention he already shot TND and most agree that it has nice vibrant cinematography.

  • Title Track: TWINE - the best title theme of the Brosnan era Title Credits: TWINE Main Villain: DN Main Bond Girl: DN Henchman: DN Overall Plot: TWINE - I love the idea that Bond is basically used as a murder instrument in this one, as he deliv…
  • Title Track: DN - this one is actually pretty close, as I do rather like Sheryl Crow's opening song. It's not as good as "Surrender" but I prefer it to Tina Turner's GE. But I'll give the edge to the radio static, the Bond theme, and some of the loc…
  • Oh I tried but I couldn’t pick just one for some of those decades. Too much goodness there! And of course I didn’t go earlier than the 50s because TV started in the 50s.
  • I’ll easily admit that Connery in GF is the quintessential Bond performance for me personally!! My favorite Bond might be Moore (by just a hair over Connery) but Connery in GF is the single greatest Bond performance. I loved Connery’s rawness in DN …

  • So Brazil has a player named Thiago Silva? Anyone immediately think of Javier Bardem and SKYFALL? Remember when M tells Bond that Raoul Silva’s real name was Thiago Rodriguez, who was a brilliant agent.
  • Yep you could clearly see there was chemistry between Falk and Pleasence. The one murderer whom Columbo genuinely liked. Though I guess Ruth Gordon was another one that Columbo seemed to like.
  • While I think COLUMBO was great from the get-go it did actually get even better as it went on. I believe the general consensus is that season 3 was the best (it also had the most episodes - 8!) - “Double Shock” (with Robert Culp), “Swan Song” (with …
  • Who’s your favorite COLUMBO murderer from season 1? And what’s your favorite episode from the same season? My favorite episode of the season is “Death Lends a Hand” (with Robert Culp as the murderer) but my favorite murderer of the season would h…
  • Title Track: DN - I'm probably in the minority but I just never cared for Tina Turner's song (her best is still "We Don't Need Another Hero" from Mad Max 3) so I'll go with the funny radio noises and the Bond theme of DN Title Credits: GE - every…
  • Any thoughts on my benign bizarre question?
  • What exactly does "benign bizarre" mean? I've been giving it to DN because of things like mechanical dragons, metallic hands, tarantulas, 3 blind mice, Sisters Lily and Rose, etc. All these things are bizarre but hardly benign. GE has a truly bizarr…
  • That’s the problem with today’s cinematography. Everything is heavily filtered or color graded. I love Deakins’ work on SF but there’s still a heavy filter on it. In fact all of Craig’s films have that. CR has that yellow tinge to it throughout. Wha…
