Paramount wouldn't sell many more copies of their boxsets in the next few years if there are only four movies in it. The definitive version needs to include the five titles. And given the initial contracts between Lucasfilm and Paramount, Lucasfilm…

We had the same kind of deal between Warner and Universal over the 4K Craig boxset, while the studios didn’t have any kind of particular partnership. While Disney and Paramount at least signed a deal to get Indy 5 made and may have settled issues su…

Remember that for the prequels Lucas didn’t want to direct and approached a bunch of big name directors such as Spielberg, Zemeckis and Ron Howard who all told him to handle them himself. They knew that even with their status in the industry it woul…

Given Lucas' instincts at the time (Spielberg managed to curb some of his worst ideas), would have it been a good thing?

The main issue that Nolan had to deal with in Oppenheimer is similar to what Clint Eastwood faced for Sully. Chesley Sullenberger had an uneventful life before and after his heroic achievement, which lasted something like 15 minutes. If you put i…

It has flopped because it's gone woke. These critics are right. If it hadn't put a female character so much to the front, if it had featured a traditionally heroic male role model (with more horse riding), this movie would have made $155M in a singl…

Yet, there are a few things that sound clumsy about the death of Mutt. Mutt was born around 1938. He was 19 at the time of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 1957. The Vietnam war escalated at the end of the sixties when mass deployment of US troops st…

Her brother, Andrew, was a location scout and an AD on 2001: A Space Odyssey. He came up with the background that's used for the first part of the film, and for some of the footage from the psychedelic sequence. He's also directed a couple of films …

I guess that it was a combination of things that got MGM to cancel the project. And MGM was slowly backing out of film production at that point. After the collapse of his Napoléon, Kubrick needed a quick gig to reestablish himself. Warner was the…

Outside of Casino Royale, which got a couple of reissues, there's only one Blu-ray version for each of the titles, using the Lowry Digital restorations. A few titles 80s-90s titles used an early digital transfer which had too much noise. So, they l…

The character of Helena could have written better regarding her motivations, as there's little continuity. She's done her PhD on the Antikythera, yet she's just interested in the artefact to make money and pay off her debts by selling it to the hig…

Box-office for the Bond movies is, compared to most movies, stronger "internationally" (they're almost always huge hits in the UK for instance) compared to what it is in the US (and Canada). Skyfall: 26.6% ("domestic")/73.4% ("international") Sp…

If you want a real Sophie's choice situation, have people pick between The Experience of Love and Never Say Never Again.

Do I have to stay awake until help's on the way? If not, The Writing's on the Wall, definitely, as it will put me to sleep.

Oh, you definitely won't hear me say anything negative about Rota. Fellini is one of my favourite directors (he also happened to be a huge Bond fan), and Rota's work on Il Casanova di Fellini, I Vitelloni or Amarcord is mesmerizing.

The insane thing about the main theme for Fortunella (starring Giuletta Masina, based on a Fellini script but with a sub Fellini execution) is that it's not just the inspiration for The Godfather. Another part was developed a couple of years later i…

I've spotted at least one shocking goof. During the puppet show in Sicily, there's a theme from Nino Rota, which was composed for Fellini's Amarcord in 1973, four years after the events of the film. It breaks the suspension of disbelief, and at my s…

The best thing I had read about the stupid “leaked plot” was some guy writing (in jest) that the ending would indeed dabble with the multiverse with Indiana Jones swapping places with the Indiana Jones of a parallel universe played by Tom Selleck.

An extremely mild spoiler about the first shot. There's no mountain, even if the Paramount logo appears, but Mangold did a different match cut (and no, it doesn't involve the Disney castle either). I'm wondering if the licence plate shown repeate…

It's fine, a little better than what I expected. It's not in the league of the original three but it's some old-school adventure. As Colonel Sun said, it lacked the clarity of Spielberg's direction (which belongs to a museum), but even Spielberg the…

It's released tomorrow in France, and that's when I plan to see it. I don't expect much after talking to the friend I've mentioned or reading other reports, but Raiders of the Lost Ark was one of the first films that I saw in a theater (outside of D…

A friend of mine saw it at the Cannes premiere. He's definitely not one to be negative because it's Disney, but he hated what he saw. He found it pointless, without personality, trying to be one more Indiana Jones movie without really acknowledging …

Both mainstream film mags and YouTubers ultimately say what they think their audience wants to hear, preferably within the confines of reality. Film mags cater to an older crowd who has followed Indy's adventures since the eighties and wants some d…

Killing Eve is a show about an elusive Russian hitwoman, codename Vilanelle, who kills people all over Europe in extremely creative fashions and who's a mixture of sadistic cruelty and wide-eyed naivety. She's played by newcomer Jodie Comer, who's d…

PWB has destroyed at least one thing. Killing Eve. By leaving the show-running position after the first series. Second series, the one handled by Emerald Fennell, was mostly enjoyable, but her plan to have a different writing team run by a differ…
