  • Benedict Wong could work for either Q or M, imo.

  • For me he's the least appealing of the Bridgerton candidates. I like Luke Thompson, who I felt had a certain amount of charisma in the show.

  • I know at least one person here thinks Josh O'Connor would make a good Bond. I think he's perhaps a little too geeky, but he's got what looks like a potential hit movie coming up (it stars Zendaya, so I've got to think it will get a certain amount o…
  • I just re-watched Le Mans '66 for maybe the third time. It looks great, the pacing/editing is wonderful, the two leads have great chemistry, the film just works in all the ways that matter (except maybe going too heavy on making Beebe a moustache-tw…

  • Theo James downplays talk of him becoming Bond, he never rules himself out or says he doesn't want it (or at least, I've not seen him do so). A few years ago I was asked to mod a forum; I wrote a rather long, rambling reply that said I was flattered…

  • As I understand it, Spielberg approached Broccoli after Jaws and was told he just wasn't right; after Close Encounters Spielberg tried again, but he says he was too expensive. I believe he actually met Roger Moore after Duel had become a hit, way ba…
  • Enemy is available for streaming on ITVX at the moment, so I gave it a re-watch. Gyllenhaal is a very flexible actor in what he can bring across on screen.
  • If Villeneuve gets the job, do you think we'll get Jake Gyllenhaal as Leiter?

  • I do like George Sanders, he was an amazing actor with a fantastic voice (All About Eve and Rebecca are favourites of mine), but I was specifically thinking of the comment that Hiddleston's accent was too posh to be tough. I don't want Bond to be pa…
  • You Know My Name is my favourite from the Craig years. I do like the slower atmospheric songs, but I'd like them to alternate with faster, rockier numbers like YKMN or Live and Let Die.

  • Yeah, I'd like The Pretty Reckless to tackle a Bong theme. "25" sounds like a deliberate Bond audition, right down to using the phrase "die another day" in the lyrics. Perhaps not the best film to namecheck, though!
