  • Your use of the word "bomb" is rather unique. SP may not have been a critical darling in the US but saying the film bombed is just, well false. The 10th best BO in the US where it did under perform and the 5th or 6th top grosser world wide in 201…
  • If Craig does 25, I would hope he is smart enough to demand a first rate thriller of a script and a great director with a good track record for action and character work. Mendes had zero background skill in action and integrating the action work i…

  • It will be Clinton vs Trump. Bernie will keep competing but he'll win few remaining primaries. South Carolina was a killer re his total failure to attract black voters, and Super Tuesday which is almost all southern state primaries with large black…
  • I'll go back to the political thread, but Germanlafy needs a reality check about stupid Americans. America never produced a Hitler, and your current government is probably commiting financial suicude by trying to absorb a vast number of imillions …
  • Agree with all your points. There have been a lot of posts on the board by those who didn't like SP trying to float the "fact" that SP didn't do well. Yes, it didn't hit SF numbers in NA, but it was still the 10th highest grossing film in NA, and …
  • My problem with the new series of shows is that the original series for at least the first five years was like lightning in a bottle. Kind of impossible to recapture. To much happened to the characters and the endless plot twists since those earl…

  • The big problem in the Middle East is http you have three factions at each other's throats going back centuries, and you have stupid arbitrary boundaries for countries created via colonialism. The idealistic idea that you can drop democracy on these…
  • I'm listening to the debate tonight, and Trump is such a unique character. I think his comments about how we should have left secular dictators alone in countries like Libya, Egypt and Iraq is proving to be accurate. It's obviously not an idealisti…
  • The problem for any actor who takes the role, is that acting the role is just 50% of the job, the rest is the endless promotion work before, after, and during every shoot, they have to do a ton of print press, tv, web, it's endless. I watched Hiddl…
  • One of my biggest problems with Bernie, Clinton and Trump, is that they are all too old for the job. It is a killer, and it needs a younger person. All 3 of them could drop dead in office or become very ill. It is well reported that Reagan had dem…

  • The thing about Trump, or more precisely his voters, that just amazes me, is that many of them are not only conservative Republicans, but also many are very conservative Evangelical Christians who detest almost everything he stands for except for o…
  • All this back and forth about what it takes to be a Bond reminds me of a terrific hour long interview that Charlie Rose did when SP opened in the US. The first half hour was with Craig and Mendes, and then just Mendes alone for the second half hour.…

  • Cruz has no chance. It is not even his politics. He has an awful smug personality and whiny voice. He's just thoroughly unappealing. I have a lot of conservative Republican friends and even they can't stand him. It's gonna be Clinton/trump. It…

  • The melody is good, but it was also heavily reorchestrated by Newman and co. Mendes also rewrote his lyrics. He deserves the Oscar as much as he deserved his Grammies for a song that he plagerized. He's now walking back his bragging about it taking…
  • I think Stevens could do it. A cleaned up Hunnan also. I'm not so sure about Turner. Being a good actor and looking good is not the key, but whatever,
  • Yep. If you watch Hiddleston get interviewed, machismo is the last word that comes to mind. Nice, classy, intelligent, yes, but masculine, no. Ain't gonna happen.
  • I'd make a big bet it's not going to be Hiddleston or just about all the names endlessly tipped as the next Bond. EON will almost have to go young and they may indeed take a turn away from the tough, macho Craig type, but they will never go for a f…

  • EON is gonna want to control the news flow re anything related to something as critical as casting Bond 7. They can't possibly want critical info leaked early before they have their ducks lined up. Not all buzz is good buzz. Elba and the diversi…
