Will not address the awful medical, financial and human consequences of this virus. This is a Bond site so I’m only addressing the impact on NTTD as some have started to note above. The impact can be massive. It can financially wreck it’s BO. Al…

Have been reading but not posting for a long while. Agree with some references about problems with Fiennes in SP. Logan’s script had Fiennes as a double agent, a not unique occurance in past British intelligence history. It would have added extra…

The fact that DNC staff were pro Clinton in private emails is like whining that the sun rises is the east. How the hell could they not be pro Clinton. The Clintons have raised tens of millions of dollars for Democratic candidates for decades and el…

Clibton can pander which I never liked about her along with the baggage that makes her a problematic candidate. However, I don't fear her finger on the nuclear trigger the way I fear Trump's. Of the 4 of them, I like Kaine and wish he was at the h…

Agree that Stein and Johnson may cancel out the protest votes. It all depends if more moderate Rep. leaning voters who might have been so anti-Trump, they would have otherwise voted for Clinton are lost Clinton voters. Who knows. I thought Clinton…

Mostly agree. Many Republucans that can't stand Trump also cannot stand Clinton. I'm thinking mostly of the angry Sanders voters re the % that will vote for Johnson and Stein that take votes away from Clinton. I'd guess the Sanders voters that can'…

Fans on this site want EON to bring on 25 tomorrow, but it ain't gonna happen. The productions are too vast, even if they pull back the budgets which they should, they can only cut the budgets by so much. Film production for a Bond are never going…

The DNC did not rig the game. The rules were in place well in advance of Sanders run for Pres. Sanders and his team knew the rules going in and they exploited them to their advantage, particularly in the caucus states (which they dominated), and w…

I am amazed at all of the Bernie bashing of teeth over the DNC being pro Hillary. Hello - Earth to mars. Bernie has been a Dem. for 5 minutes. Clinton has raised 100s of million for the DNC to elect 100s of Democrats down ballot for decades. Be…

Excellent choice. Hillary was never, ever going to win the extreme Bernie element over. They will go down the rabbit's hole to vote for Stein or stay home, and possibly help elect Trump, just as they did when they voted for Nader and single handedl…

I think Craig is definitely done with Bond. I would have liked to see him do one more, if they had a good script and great director, but his commitments are just to extensive to make me think he will have time for 25. He kept noting that he spent …

If it is Hiddleston, he won't know what hit him when the full media firestorm starts up. He is already getting hit with a lot of snide comments that he and Taylor "staged" their pics on her private, well guarded property and many on silly (Daily M…

Cruise has zero personal life. Apparently hasn't seen his daughter in years. Craig's time with his family between the endless Bond shoots is obviously a big issue to him. And how many Broadway plays has Cruise had the guts and technical skill to d…

I have been following this thread and holding back as I had mixed feelings about all of the candidates, but that's changed. Last night I heard a cable commentator call Trump a pschopath. It seemed extreme but I looked up the desc. "The study o…

Not every job requires a university degree, but most jobs require training. Talent is meaningless without skill, knowledge and technique which talented people are not born with or pick up just by observing. You could project your education doesn't …

Today's press topic was Trump's wife's past nude pictures vs Cruz's wife's past problems with depression. What's next? it can only get worse. The sad thing is this mess is entertaining but in a very bad way. Obama also needs to lay off the bas…

Of all the endless list of actors touted for Bond I'm beginning to think there is some substance behind the push for Turner. He's got the good looks, and unlike Cavill, he has a good education, and good diverse stage, tv and film acting experience.…

Let me be more clear. I in no way think Craig is wrong to ignore big pay checks for some lousy film work. What I regret is that he has let 7-8 years go by without doing any non Bond film role. He has the clout to go after good scripts and first r…

Cahill is about as erudite as Bugs Bunny, and I'm not being fair to Bugs.

Cavill is wrong for Bond for almost opposite reasons that Hiddles is wrong. I wish I could recall the article that I read about playing Bond shortly after CR came out. It remains one of the most astute articles I've ever read about the difficultie…
