  • Brosnan and Cruise in one video? Amazing!
  • It mentions a new trailer but I'm not seeing it anywhere. I guess we'll have to wait a few days. *Sigh*
  • AHHHHHH That looks wonderful! I guess it confirms that Toby Jones is Helena's father.

  • I have to go with #35. It's not the longest or most intricate fight scene in the series, but it's the most visually stunning. I still remember seeing it for the first time and my jaw just dropping.
  • I think they are trying to put more emphasis on practical effects in IJATDOD. Indy jumping from one car to another is, from what I understand, a real stunt. Obviously it's not done by Ford but it's in-camera, not CGI. I think a lot of the stunts …
  • This looks like so much fun. Here's hoping the plane free fall looks convincing. I remember all the criticism that QoS got when Bond and Camille fall out of the plane. I thought it looked good but I recall at the time it got a lot of flak.

  • Agreed 100%. There seems to be a faction of so-called "fans" on the Internet that want this film to fail. I would argue that these are not fans, because if they were, they would only want the best. They would want the movie to be great and domina…

  • Hunter College? Shouldn't it be Marshall College?
  • It's now February, so I would imagine the marketing machine for IJATDOD will start moving in the not-too-distant future. For those of you who are more familiar with marketing, do you have any idea when we might expect an official poster? Or a new …
  • Do we know where all these drafts are kept? Is there some vault somewhere in England that has every unreleased Bond script? If so, who should I sell my soul to in order to get in?
  • Great pic! I love the aesthetics of this movie. It's set in the 60s but it has a 30s/40s pulp vibe.

  • I have genuinely loved the F&F franchise since the first film, even up through F8/FATE. But F9 was so bad on so many levels that as soon as it ended, I had this terrible realization that the series was over for me. I will watch the last two, b…
  • I thought Shia was terrific as Mutt, and did as well as anyone else would have. He's a very good actor, IMO. I think the issue is that, for any number of reasons, a lot of people simply find him unlikable and they hold it against the movie/charact…

  • Don't forget there's also a 1947 Humphrey Bogart film titled DEAD RECKONING, if we needed any more proof that Fleming did not invent the phrase in 1955. I had forgotten that it was a Fleming chapter title, though. That's certainly an interesting l…
  • I go back and forth on the Willie character but that's all in the writing, as others have said. Capshaw herself is all in, and it's clear she's having a ball making that movie.
