I guess it's a matter of taste. MI2 is unique in what it does. I like Woo's style and his mythic approach to the story was unusual for the spy genre. The straightforward storyline allows the characters to breathe a bit more. Nyah is my favorite …

Just watched Dead Reckoning. I guess it was...okay? It came off as a workprint of a movie that hadn't been fully edited yet. We see that the two keys open the Entity-thing in the sub right in the opening sequence, so it was silly how the entire r…

Havana Syndrome reminds me of the Hum. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hum A Bond movie where he investigates some type of unexplained phenomena would be interesting, provided it doesn't get too "X Files."

One of the benefits of the Cubby era was that Bond films were often made by in-house talent like Glenn and Hamilton. Instead of constant five-year gaps where the producers wait for the Current Big Name Director's schedule to clear, they had somebod…

I just don't really see this guy as Bond at all. Wrong voice, wrong way about him. I don't need an "obvious" choice for Bond. I was all for Craig when he was announced because despite not looking like the previous Bonds he had a few scene-s…

Babs and MGW have been making such terrible decisions lately that I have no trouble believing they've chosen ATJ for the role.

They should have recast M.

For me Spectre is the visually-dullest Bond movie. There is no interesting use of color anywhere. Every single scene in monochromatic, with one dominant color used for sets and characters so that everything blends together. This is a good ex…

After Bond finds the encoder midway through to confirm what the audience already knows, the only plot point after that is Carver's reason for doing what he's doing (nuking Beijing and installing a new government). There just isn't all that much hap…

The producers just need to stop pretending that Bond is some complex enigmatic character whose psychology needs to be explored and just let him be Bond from the first scene to the last. It's very silly to take this attitude towards a character who …

He fell into a pulverizer at the works.

Between no Bond 26 and a Bond 26 starring Aaron Taylor Johnson, I'd choose no Bond 26.

His name is Derval. I saw him last night at Shrublands, but he was dead.

Except the whole point behind the fantasy of Bond is that he faces death while not ever actually dying. He was never meant to have an arc. He doesn't even have one in the novels apart from maybe OHMSS-YOLT. Even after losing Vesper, being poisone…

It was still only his third mission (technically second if you count QOS as the same mission as CR, or not even a real mission at all since he's rogue for most of the movie), so it still feels like they jumped the gun in a way that didn't make sense…

Cameron wouldn't be right for Bond unless others wrote the screenplay. Peter Jackson, if he'd lay off the CGI, would be a better fit if we're talking about A-list directors.

16 Arrival At The Ruins* (0.45) @Bond_Scores is this the instrumental piano version of TSWLM that plays when Bond and Anya are in the back of the truck? I've been looking for that track for ages.

I would keep P&W on just so that the new Bond era isn't a total break from the previous one. Plus they're good on the ideas level, and they know the Fleming novels. I doubt that many other writers in Hollywood do.

At least 22 people have died from burns sustained in Yellowstone’s springs and geysers. They include Colin Nathaniel Scott, who is thought to have dissolved in the hot acidic water after leaving the boardwalk at the park’s Norris Geyser Basin in se…

I always thought that TMWTGG felt like an early Connery Bond movie that just happened to get made in the 70s. It has the down-to-earth feel of those movies, the sense of dread, the low-key absurdity (as opposed to over-the-top spectacle) and the to…

Savalas was the best Blofeld in terms of performance and physicality, but I'll always prefer Pleasance's camp take on the character. He didn't have many lines in YOLT but he makes every one of them memorable.

Two of my favorite Bond performances. I love Moore's colorful and aggressive performance in TMWTGG, it's very much how someone who's being targeted (or thinks he's being targeted) by an enemy assassin would behave. On the other hand, I also love h…
