Rope unravels, twine just snaps. Either way, when you're hanging from it, you squash due to skyfall.

With only four noteworthy exceptions (one of them a 2nd run house), none of the dozens of cinemas within 50 miles of where I grew up in San Jose were screening movies in a watchable fashion by 1980. They were all using inadequate projection systems …

Another QUANTUM minority viewpoint. In addition to basically liking MOST of it (which is more than I can say for any of the others post-LTK), I have no problem whatsoever with Mathis being put in the dumpster. It just seemed efficient to me, and we'…

I've seen STAR TREK NEMESIS, which for me was definitely a waste of his talents. I've often thought that Hardy may have been doing an impression of the film's 'director' because there is something off-putting in the voice that reminds me of Baird. H…

When Mel Gibson had the rights to THE PRISONER in the 90s, supposedly he wanted Patrick for #2. That project had a script by Christopher McQuarrie that nobody I have ever met has read, though it must not have been great, as they could only get Simon…

Just saw DD's post, I guess this proves it is possible you can love Snyder AND hate him ...

Couldn't you do the same with other lesser Bonds that spend half their runtime with Bond being chased, like L&LD and TND?

I'm really hoping people finally realize the truth about the emperor's new speedos and recognize these films for the disasters they mostly are. The aura of alleged realism doesn't excuse the idiot plot turns that CR and SKYFALL rely on almost exclus…

Watched the first half of TOMORROW NEVER DIES on BR, mainly to look at Elswit's images, as I have always disliked the movie. skirted that issue by listening to the Spottiswoode commentary for 1st time. no mention of Nick Meyer's uncredited rewrite …

ROAD TO PERDITION is fantastic, AMERICAN BEAUTY is good, couldn't get into JARHEAD, was bored by REVOLUTIONARY and consider SKYFALL less than worthless. Never heard of AWAY WE GO.

NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN. Except for the first TREK movie and the MATRIX sequels, had VERY high hopes for NSNA. While it didn't deliver disappointment on the mega-levels of those other films, it still was depressing to see the 'mature' Bond mellow into…

It's funny, I had forgotten this, but now I flashed on the fact I interviewed the DP who shot the first BOURNE movie about it, and he was doing his dishes during the phone interview. He gave me almost nothing at all, was probably the least informati…
