  • I am always amused by the "Skyfall stole from The Dark Knight" takes. The big one, as had been said earlier in the thread, is that TDK didn't come up with these tropes either. The other one is Nolan cribbed a lot of things from Bond in particular fo…

  • It's an interesting question because there are some ways where they have updated the character to be more reflective of the current generation (treatment of women and cessation of tobacco), but these don't really code as being of a particular genera…

  • I'd love a return to skiing in 26. It lends itself well to the big screen.

  • Looking forward to the "Othello" film — wonder if Amazon MGM will end up distributing it.
