I think this link for the full new tv teaser works. Someone yell it it doesn't. http://themoviebox.net/7072

This is not the same movie landscape they had for SF. There is killer competition for spy and action films this year. The audience could be sick of Spy films by the time SP opens last. It also has none of the 50 year and huge Olympic buzz going f…

Saw Spy this weekend and was very surprised about the plot. It was a genuine spy film, with MM, of all people, playing the hero. It was funny, not hysterically so, but again the real emphasis was on the spy stuff. It was in many ways very much a …

I don't see how any massive film effort like SP with complex and dangerous action sequences can possibly be made without some CGI. I would think it would be impossible to stage some of the dangerous stunts and huge scenes like the ones in Mexico wi…

Garden of Death is a good, smart title - for knowledgeable Bond fans. But not so much for everyone else which is the main general audience. "Death" in a movie title does not project thrills and spills to a huge mass audience that has no clue about…

I think Craig's suits in SF were horrible. They looked 2 sizes too tight. with jackets to short and on and on. I also think the light grey suits, with his light hair, totally washes him out. He looks far better in black or dark navy. I much prefer…

I was counting on AM because they are said to be a fav of Craig and one would have though he'd have influence on the selection, but at this point I would tolerate almost anyone that could block Stan Smith. I simply cannot think of a more inappropri…

I responded on the leaks thread. Very much liked your scenario for Bond 25.
-
Absolutely @timmer. I like your scenario. And the perfect title for Bond 25 would of course be Shatterhand. I too am tired of the melodrama because it seems so manufactured to make Mendes and Craig feel they are going deep. But you're right, if th…

I think the scene in the church was deeply offensive to me for a number of reasons, as I didn't buy the set up. There was just too much in the film that made me groan. Again, there was lots of talent on the screen. It was very clever, but it lef…

The thought of Statham makes me laugh, because so many people went ballistic about a blond Bond. Imagine the fits of rage over a bald Bond. Until Craig is formally replaced by EON, we're in for an endless number of actors who fancy themselves th…

How about the ending, for starters. Unlike Mad Max which was a fun thread to post on, I've avoided this one because I seriously disliked this movie. I can appreciate the talent involved, but there is something really off to me about Vaughn.
-
I'm totally with @timmer on this. I found the film offensive on many fronts. The comment that American audiences and particularly critics might have been put off by the violence is not accurate. Mad Max was violent too, and also R rated, but it w…

Agree very much with what @thelivingroyale and @Creasy47 are noting about the documentary and Cruise. I found it profoundly disturbing and I too feel it has forever impacted my opinion of Cruise. Talented actor and producer, no doubt, but he seems…

The actors who play M, Q and MP have given interviews insisting that they get to be in the field, and be part of the action. Just don't think any of the 3 should be. Mendes comments noted by @jake24 above that he wants to develop these characters …

One thing that really stuck in my mind long after I saw this was what an incredibly difficult film this must have been to create, and how terrific that it all came together so brilliantly. The dangerous live action work, the heat, the location, the…

Totally agree. It really served the film well. Wish we could get something great (but obviously not similar) with SP, but seriously doubt we'll get it.

Of course films need secondary players, and Bond has always had them. I've already noted I'm fine with Blofeld, Swann and even Hinx having sizable roles. But Mendes and Logan are creating their own Bond universe as if it is a big ensemble theatre p…
