  • Along my friends and family, there are some 'casual' Bond fans, meaning: they will go to the cinema once a new movie is released and sometimes agree to watch a Bond film with me. Corresponding points they made about SP; - The movie went on too l…

  • Was wondering if the Jordan Peterson Channel 4 interview was being discussed here. Apparently, it wasn't: did some of you catch this?

  • I might have missed this being discussed (and it's a little off topic, perhaps) but I think Martin Campbell proved with The Foreigner that he is still very much capable of directing a very good action thriller. I really enjoyed The Foreigner; Brosna…

  • Gustav_Graves wrote: » I personally think DAD is a Bond film for dumb-asses :-). Are you joking or what?
  • Also, Craig himself said he want's to go out on a 'high', which suggest he thinks SP wasn't quite what he aimed for as his final outing.
  • Depends on your definition of safe critical acclaimed success @Getafix. Just joking a little. :) You probably mean the reviews by the press? Looking at the current ratings on IMDB (6.8) and Rotten Tomatoes (63%) I would't say that is very successfu…
  • Looking purely at the commercial success might be a little naive I think. SP could actually have an negative impact on B25. Just as SF probably had a positive impact on SP, in terms of people wanting to go and see the film. If you weren't impressed …

  • Dennison wrote: » "I'm really sad, but that's the tradition." What does he mean!??? Still can't help thinking that they're recasting Blofeld from what he said. Could be... if they (EON) didn't have an option on him returning. So they did…
  • For those who suggest Blofeld might return but played by another actor (regarding the 'tradition' quote from Waltz): isn't it odd that they initially had an option with Waltz to return, only later to be told it isn't in the tradition to have one act…
  • I don’t like the idea of another actor taking on the roll of Blofeld in one era. Yes they did it before, but that was a different time and Blofeld wasn’t always as prominent in the films. But my opinion is not completely objective since I’m really…

  • When one finds himself in Venice, one should try and look for the double take pigeon... As you can see, after noticing me, it flew straight of the square.
