  • Just seen a short clip on Facebook advertising the soundtrack albums. Full on Johnny Marr channeling vic flick. Sounds amazing
  • Personally I think they have left it too late. A Summer opening in late July august would have been better. September October time is highly risky and tbh after the original optimism around the vaccine, I fully expect restrictions back this winter. …
  • I’ve said all along that the release date is too late. Should be over summer. Figures are climbing again. Fully expecting high case rates in September
  • I still don’t get vespers betrayal or Bonds suspicion of Mathis, or a few things from the end of CR. But QOS is incomprehensible for the most part. It’s editing and shot like someone tied a camera to an Alsatian. The relentless chases become bor…
  • Yeah the cases metric is not so important now as it’s not translating into deaths. Can only speak for the UK but I am still seeing high abidance of mask wearing in shops and leaving gaps in queues. Simple behavoir that make a difference while we get…
  • Infection rates in the UK are no longer the metric we should be measuring success or failure by. It’s hospital admissions and deaths both of which are massively down compared with the same infection rate last year and in spring. This is entirely …
  • I am a pretty skeptic and pragmatic person in most areas. I think it’s highly likely if not inevitable there is life somewhere in the universe. You only have to look at the diversity and volume of life on Earth to see that life here is incredibly re…
  • This looks great. Really great.
  • Interesting isn’t it : raiders 1980 filming date date is closer to 1936 when it’s set, than 1969 is to now.

  • Oh I think QOS loses direction very quickly with the introduction of Camille in what looks like an advert for a fiat 500 or whatever. Then we have a long and directionless introduction to Greene, talking with Camille about things we haven’t seen, mo…
  • Is sexuality a particularly defining character trait? Which is why I never understood the purpose of the weekly references in Dr Who under Russel T Davis. I’m sure he thought he was being subversive but I’d like to think we are all already past cari…
  • Spielberg admitted the character of Willie Scott was a mistake. I seem to remember him saying “I thought you could build a character around someone screaming all the time. I was wrong”
  • I would think the nazi thing is a flash back or a precursor to the main film. It makes little sense to me using de aging throughout the film as Harrison’s performance physically will be that of a man in his 70s. Quite what the story is who know but …
  • Some neat ideas here. Just hearing bond whistle “mango tree” for 3 Seconds would be incredible.
  • Interesting to see TWINe getting some negativity. I’ve never rated the PTS boat chase it looks so staged and sterile. The camera work is poor and it looks more like a show at universal studios. Same can be said for most of the action in TWINE. I thi…
  • Yes the whole Matera sequence looks absolutely beautiful. Pure bond. That mix of old European culture and glamour.
  • I can’t imagine Disney casting a white English man to play an Arab these days.
  • TND is great right up until jack wade shows up. It seems to fall apart thereafter. Loses pace and the jokes all fall flat after that.
  • I like the idea of something the nazis hid at the end of the war like those looted gold trains but what would be the supernatural element.
  • I think this is a clsssic bond theme. And the orchestrated version with the four repeated rising notes is very evocative of Barry
  • Personally think Crystal skull has very few redeeming features. Mac, ox, Marion etc all superfluous. I do like the idea of the nuclear test town though. And the dummies burning is a strong visual image. Other than that completely forgettable
  • Was he de aged in rise of skywalker? Something about the Kylo ren scene - the smoothness of his cheeks looked weird to me
  • This topic feels very dated. Voting on the “ugliest” women in a film. I think we’re above this.
  • This is excellent guys using the footage we have so far of Italy
  • Exciting images from North Yorkshire emerging. Indy in German uniform riding a motorbike and side car and a nazi train They also filmed at bambirgh castle which looks like it is doubling for a German prison, something like Colditz https://www.…
  • I don’t think I’ve been been more disappointed in a theatre than watching Crystal Skull. I’m a huge Indy fan, and I remember turning to my wife just after the third waterfall drop and saying “this is shite”. I dislike almost everything about it, …
  • I understand how warm and fuzzy the family feel must be, and the continuity of Cubbys legacy and approach, but the fact is, imo, we’ve had three outstanding films in thirty years. I don’t really think of eon as particularly capable anymore - or m…

  • MGM have been an absolute millstone around the Franchises neck for over 30 years. Thanks for the memories but nostalgia aside I am glad. Amazon whatever we think about their dubious tax arrangements are a successful, contemporary tech company and…
