Thanks Peter. I might not be the brightest or the sharpest tool in the tool box but I always remain real and true to myself. And I'll never get personal about an opposing opinion either. Sometimes I can fly off the rails but I'm only human. I'm glad to be here.
If other want Nolan to direct, That's completely fine with me. :)
And I like Nolan as at least being an interesting choice, but, and only, once the Craig era is done, after Bond 25 (no matter what the doubters say, that bad ass actor has one more great Bond in him :)
That I can agree with. :-bd.
I may not post, complain, or argue as much as many members here. Am in no way a new member here "P"
You have 26 posts, @ohmss42; you're obviously a new member of this forum whilst making sweeping statements about other members; you made an ill-informed judgement about @Murdock; you did "post" something (please see "ill-informed judgement"), and unlike you, I don't hide behind an internet moniker.
If you'd like to chat further, please PM me, or, even better, email me. But, please, don't clog up this thread, or any other, with dismissives about respected, and respectful members.
Disagree yes, but; do it with facts and arguments.
And if you can't do that, read the post and move on...

I. Am. A. Loser...
I want Martin Campbell, as well.
With DC... but, I think I trust in @rc7 and others who seem to be certain decisions are closer, than not, to being locked.
I will just be happy in seeing DC sent off in the proper way (hopefully).
And I don't buy the argument that some disgruntles here are making; that DC must share part of the blame for the past, as he was a co-producer on the last film.
He was a CO-producer on the LAST FILM. He may have been responsible for bringing Mendes back, but, as a CO-producer, I'm just guessing, he had no part, nor power, in the decision-making of the MAIN/LEAD producers (MGW and BB), in giving Logan free-range and no producer-input on the story and script, until it was too late...
As a CO-producer, I'm guessing DC had a role about talent (we know he drunkenly pitched a role to Bardem, and wanted Mendes back), but, beyond that, I doubt he had much a role outside of this...
Yes, with Daniel Craig. I wish him back for one more.
David Arnold, too.
@bondjames , it truly is inexcusable to my teens, that I looked at them as if they were aliens, as they danced and/or sang to the song; they also stared at me like I was a frozen, ancient tomb, while staring at them dumbfounded...
And I'm only 43 (until Aug 25!)...
You read my mind!!
A few Arnold pieces came on right after (from CR and QoS), and I was literally taken aback, thinking-- now that's more like it! It was a hundred times more worthy of Bond than Newman's... But then...
DAF came on ("Manhunt" and "Bond meets Bambi and Thumper"). And I was silenced and guilty in my blasphemy.
BUT... since we can't have Barry, yes, gimme Arnold... He seems to "get" Bond.

RE: DC, it would be nice to know either way, so we can get off this "will he/won't he" tack.
We all know where we stand and what we'd ideally prefer.
He'd just better make sure it's a bloody good film if he's back.
But, if the script is a re-tread, and a panic-script, a la SP?; then blow it all to hell.
Use DC's talent, or release him.
However, I have faith in EoN that they learn from their mistakes.
If they can do this, DC would be the first 007 to begin and end on a high note, then;
Eon re-boots with a visionary (aka Nolan).
But, if the script for 25 is a filler until the next "phase" kicks in, and they don't take advantage of the immense talent of DC, then I'm not interested, and would rather they use the next few years in re-building the franchise with Bond 25.
Watch Insomnia. It's Nolan's most underrated and underappreciated film...and it is quite conventional in its approach. You can see a lot of what Nolan might do, in terms of vision, with a Bond film.
I'll check it out.
I was supposed to reply to this post ages ago. Yes, very true.
Oh, I hadn't known that Nolan directed Insomnia. This is a fantastic, grounded thriller. I'm for Nolan directing a Bond film...with or without Craig. What's the difference? Do the two not get along? Have they very different visions as to what should happen with the Bond character?
"They should give a script worthy of what he can bring to the role (instead of forcing a RM'esque type finesse to him (there was only one Roger))."
True, Craig doesn't do this as well. If he's back he needs to return to his pre spectre style performance. I read that Craig wanted Mendes to make him funnier for Spectre, which was a mistake on Craig's part. If Craig wants to give a similar performance to that of the one he gave in Spectre, then I'm not sure if I want him back.
Isn't he a better Director than Nolan, and he's made the excellent Layer Cake with DC (if he returns) ?
2014 Kingsman: The Secret Service
2011 X-Men: First Class
2010 Kick-Ass
2007 Stardust
2004 Layer Cake
Director: Matthew Vaughn
I'm neither here or there on Nolan. Could be good or bad.
