  • Couldn't agree more, about gravitas, that is. That being said, we're in trouble, aren't we? These youngsters don't seem to have those kinds of chops. Actually, people have been commenting for a while on the death of real movie stars. I mean, char…
  • Yes, I get that. And I have to agree. Although I still think Turner would've been great as Bond. Alas, not to be. Have we talked about this Jonathan Bailey fella? I think he has something. Dunno. Still young at 36. Anyway, just throwing in anothe…
  • Just (painfully) saw Mr. Malcom's list at that historical revisionist channel called Netflix and I must say, with three Bond contenders in its cast - Theo James, Some Dirisu and Oliver Jackson-Cohen, it really shows how none of them is suitable for …

  • Creasy47 wrote: » He's immediately one of my favorite options if it means we get a Hurwitz score too. +1 Oh yes, absolutely. He’s got a strong sense of immagery, aesthetics and movement. Count me in as one of Chazelle’s supporters in the ev…
  • I, for one, don't want P&W back in any capacity. But I wouldn't want someone who is ignorant of Fleming's works. I can't believe there's not a single good writer who likes and has read Fleming and could have a good working relationship with Barb…

  • I wouldn't oppose a teaser with a man who is Bond to a tee saying "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated..." and then the Bond theme blaring with horns and drums to flashes of Bondian cues and actions. Orgasmic as no other has been since t…
  • As much as I dislike NTTD (after its marvelous first half hour), the production values are top notch all around. It looked lush, expensive, dreamy even. Those special effects are insanely good. Let's hope all of this is kept for the next installment.

  • So, which actors will be thirty-ish by 2026/2027? ;)

  • I would welcome Arnold back with open arms and ears. His score for the N peal ad was terrific and it took me right back to those Bondian atmospheres I miss so much.

  • Well, it’s still a bit sad that all we have is blind faith. Blind as in keeping us in the dark blind. Faith as in all we can do is believe what we want to believe. Say what you will, but as a fan, I think it is sad. I highly doubt things are rolling…

  • Again, my friend(s), for the nth time, personally I do not feel like they "owe" me anything, nor do I feel "shafted" as a moviegoer or as a fan. I do feel a tad concerned, and would like to address it in a forum. Isn't that what being a fan is?

  • An absolute favourite, that one. In fact, the only one I can imagine in the role nowadays. BTW, it’s been 5 years since the last one was shot. I know of the censorship/dogma that EON has no obligation to us fans, and I am their number one support…
  • I love Brosnan, but if DAD was the only Bond film, I wouldn’t be a Bond fan. I disliked it then, and I dislike it now. I still call it DUD.
