  • David Walliams gives me a bad vibe- fairly insensitive comments about his marraiges as well. By the way, I'd be shocked if that wasn't Steve Coogan doing the Roger impression in the trailer. It sounds like his impression...

  • I think Skyfall is a very good film and the best Craig film imo, but I got a bit tired of it because they kept showing it on ITV2 all of the time! I need a bit of a rest from it.

  • I saw on Wikipedia that the "Untitled No Time To Die Sequel" had a tentative release date of January 2028. It was a citated entry, not just put in by some rando, so I guess we can surmise from that, that they are aiming for a late 2027 release?

  • That Unification video was fantastic. Deepfake was slightly janky in places but you can tell five years from now it's going to be seamless.

  • mtm wrote: » YOLT looked at what made GF a hit, namely the big crazy imaginative elements, and built on them. It wasn't as slick as GF, but it was a true sequel to it. TB, I would say, didn't do that: it was a script from the 50s basically with a …

  • Very interesting question- I like Thunderball a lot more than some Bond fans nowadays, and think YOLT is let down by a wek script and Connerys bored performance. I would go: TB YOLT NSNA DAF

  • A classic case of throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks. The smart thing to do would be to let it rest for a few years, but because Disney spent so much money obtaining the rights to the IP, they have to keep making stuff to make the…

  • Saw the film today and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I definitely found it a more "sensible" film than Fallout as in wasn't just insane stunt after insane stunt, plot twist after plot twist, but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing; it was well paced with…
