  • And I get all of that and have nothing against the character, including her possibly being 007 and giving Bond a hard time ; I will watch the film and accept her , but must I find her attractive? Yes beauty is subjective, and I know some do find her…

  • I actually think he was quite good and wonder how he would have grown in the role. I wouldn’t trade the Moore era, but the thought of an alternative timeline with a tougher, more physical Bond is intriguing.
  • I actually really enjoyed the original Young Indiana Jones series and would not oppose a new take on that. As with Bond, casting the right actor would be crucial; Phoenix dis a great job.

  • This is what I mean, one has a twinkle, something that every Bond has , no matter how dire, or personal the situation. He also looks better with a slightly edgy hairstyle.
  • I think a the next Bond film , featuring a new 007, will be in theaters within 5 years. As stated above, Amazon did not fork out all of that money just to let the Bond franchise hibernate.

  • I want to do a special edition of “ The Abyss “ and have the miniature water , in the shots of surface vessels, replaced with CG waves and turbulence. Water is incredibly hard to miniaturize , see Goldeneye , and often undermines an effect. The larg…
  • They could have done worse.
  • A poster, a new exciting poster, that’s what I want; I’ve seen all the footage that I want to see.

  • Today I was at the gym and glanced up at a tv and saw a guy in a tux and immediately thought’ wow try hat guy has a great look for Bond’ , and it wasn’t just the tux. Then I realized that it was Julian McMahon, in an episode of “Charmed” I always l…

  • The early 60’s is a great era for the film; it offers so many possibilities and I love the aesthetic.
  • Even if NTTD ends on a bittersweet note, Daniel’s era should go out , as it came in , with a bang, and a banger of a song; “ You Know My Name”
  • People back then didn’t purchase new vehicles every three or five years; it’s entirely conceivable that a street in the early 60’s would be filled with late 50’s cars.
