  • When were those taken?
  • Bloody hell, @Benny! The trauma @-) :-SS :(( Never gonna recover from those. That's actually quite the detriment to those who claim Bond was only sexualized by the time Craig popped up in Jamaica's Ocean Club beach, or took his shirt off in…
  • Oh, for Pete's sake, I've written an entire novel in three weeks. I can work the script on time for Villeneuve. Call me up, EON, I'm here, damn it. Willing to do it for the cost of coffee, a kiss on Bab's cheek and a handshake with Michael. Let's do…
  • If it is Villeneuve, I'll open a bottle of champagne. Damn happy if it's him. Fingers crossed, @Peter, my friend.

  • We keep saying it, but those screentests are our holly grail as Bond fans. If only they'd release them for public viewing. At least some, with the approval of the actors.

  • @Denbigh, but the outcome is certain. So what's the point? :-/ There are more than three pages of posts that consistently push Leo Suter to the lead by a steady 3/1 margin. At this point, someone in the Theo James camp has to stop playing so thi…

  • Yes, I think so. We've had four or five good final choices that say a lot about what fans really want to see. Choices that go beyond shock factors or any type of agendas, and that are varied as they are sensible. It was a fun game. Suter deserves th…
  • Sine die, ad aeternum, ad nauseum, ... :) It's a slow progression game now, but one can see where it's going. Shall we call it a day? Suter will end up with 140+ votes, as Theo slowly approaches 0. And that will take a while. That being said, I m…
