Eon is the devil you know, and for me that's better than the devil you don't. I hade major issues with George Lucas' fading talent on the prequels, so when Disney brought out The Force Awakens and I loved it I thought SW was in safe hands. It didn't…

Stanley Tucci is good, he’s always watchable, but he’s not enough to save Citadel. At least Amazon has a success with Fallout, a show that seems to know where to put its money.
-
I’m watching Citadel. It’s a reminder on how easy it is to get this genre wrong. Also, very much a ‘no’ from me for Richard Madden as Bond.
-
Have I suggested Walton Goggins as a bad guy before? He is admittedly almost type-cast a charismatic villain, but watching Fallout has reminded me he's good at it.

Le Carre often depicted foreigners working as MI6 agents, and as a former MI6 man himself he should know what he was talking about.

I really enjoyed Skyfall when I saw it in the cinema. I remember being asked if it really was the best Bond film ever, and I laughed and said no, it was fun despite bits not making sense. On subsequent watches I have grown to love it more, and I'm m…

I like the scene in Casino Royale where Bond is mistaken for a parking valet by a condescending guest, rams the rude guest's car into the parking space, then nonchalantly tosses the keys over his shoulder as he walks away. It's funny and it shows Bo…

For an example of humour I like in Bond, the golf game in Goldfinger is really nice, particularly when his caddy suggests that Goldfinger isn't playing his original ball, and Bond says he knows he isn't because he's standing on Goldfinger's original…

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.
