One-note drama. Or two notes, if you throw in the inevitable "he's my best agent". The monotony is killing me. It is not exciting for me if it is every film. Some conflict is good, but since hiring high-profile actors like Judy Dench ironicall…

The UK are supposed to be making a 6th gen fighter with Japan, Italy and Sweden (I think), it could be a good excuse to revisit Japan and deal with sabotage; either Hiroyuki Sanada or Tadanobu Asano from Shogun would work for Tiger Tanaka. I'm no…

I must admit I read his comment in the same way as Crabkey.

I think Lord was chosen to help woo the American public. He was a big name at the time, and I think it helped the US audience see an American agent that was as cool as Bond. Even though I'd argue that Jeffrey Wright is by far the best actor to ha…

Safin's a great visual, but there's really nothing behind the mask.

The way the tweet was phrased makes it obvious what he was really after was a dialogue with the studio.

I own Hitman, but have never played it. I've heard that it is good and it's not just a shoot-em up, and I like the idea of planning and stealth in a Bond game, so it might well be a good marriage between IO and 007. Modern games are so huge, though.…
