  • Regé-Jean Page recently left Bridgerton's second series and even Deadline ran an article stating he 'is mix to be the next James Bond'. It's unclear if they are speculating or have heard something. Though it could likely be a bit of both. I like …
  • Excellently put @ImpertinentGoon - couldn't agree more. I watched Cowboys & Aliens again last night on Netflix. You know what? For this kind of anonymous, generic Hollywood studio film....it's definitely on the better end of the spectrum. In …
  • I never really get the sense that LTK was a thrifty production. It's certainly a smaller film, but that felt by design. The world isn't in danger and Sanchez has more modest goals than say Drax or Blofeld. Though I do appreciate that it LTK lacks a …
  • I watched this again last night...I have to say I was rather impressed. It's a James Bond film that is actually about something. It's certainly an ambitious film and (in an age where we moan about Bond films being formulaic) LTK is trying to be diff…
  • I was thinking about this earlier this week. The Bond franchise tends to follow trends. You can see this in the Craig-era (most noticeably in how the Bourne and Nolan films influenced certain entries). However, the Bond genre is very well-defined in…

  • I watched this again last night, and have to say it's much better than I remembered it to be. At times, I was so entertained that I genuinely thought this was a 5 star film. In the end, cooler heads prevailed and I would comfortably give this ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5…
  • Next up...Knives Out....I watched this again last night and it really holds up. It's a proper ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 film. In fact, it's probably more enjoyable and entertaining to watch a second time. Further, it's even satisfying to pick over the film and consid…
  • Name: Once Upon A Spy Director: Josh and Benny Safdie Cinematography: Matthew Libatique Music: Oneohtrix Point Never Title Song: Lana Del Rey Running Time: 150 minutes Plot: A new James Bond origin-story where we see him become 007 in the fi…
  • I watched this again yesterday evening, it's seriously entertaining. It's pretty dumb and childish in comparison to the Daniel Craig films, but this YOLT is the movie for you if you want an impeccably-made, charming and mischievous 1960's action fil…
  • I've decided to keep my posts down on the forum (at least till/if NTTD opens). Though I was hoping to re-watch some of Craig's work leading up to NTTD. So whilst away, I thought I'd come back now and again to share some thoughts and perhaps start a …

  • Curious to get people's thoughts on Craig's hair in the below photos from Casino Royale. It always bugged me how quiffed it was. But looking back on it now, I don't really mind it. I'm getting kinda OCD going through CR and seeing how his hairstyle …
  • Cary Fukunaga liked my comment on his latest IG post asking if he has seen the IO gunbarell for their new game. I mentioned that I hope NTTD's looks similar. Perhaps this is Fukunaga giving us a hint? Or perhaps, he just liked the tease. Time wil…
  • https://twitter.com/WonderWomanFilm/status/1329216784411414528 Wonder Woman did it...This is a very unique and interesting move. I think WB were thinking more about their fledging streaming service than about the health of the DC franchise. Whi…
  • I was curious what people thought of Craig's tuxedo look in SF? It may well be my favourite when staked up with the others....I think the cut of the QOS tuxedo but the bowtie is dodgy. I think the white tuxedo could have perfect, but I can't put my …

  • https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/1328450288924102656 Vaccines are coming! First, Pfzier, now Moderna and hopefully Oxford around the corner. Approvals and actual vaccinations are another question, but the generally held wisdom is that it will…
  • I watched Entrapment last night for the first time. I have to say, this was a surprisingly entertaining movie. Sure, it's a knockabout '90's thriller (even with an obligatory appearance from Ving Rhames to cement its credentials in this respect). Ye…
  • This edit is inspired 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 https://twitter.com/movieshardy/status/1325073618116685824 Also, it references Craig's best hair moments from CR, namely: But the SF, short has has serious bad boy energy...
  • Just ran into this short edit of DC as 007....It might just be too sexy. Damn......I enjoyed this immensely. https://twitter.com/movieshardy/status/1325073618116685824 But there's something about Daniel Craig's Vanity Fair photoshoot with An…
  • A few months back you may recall we were speculating on a post from Fukunaga saying he was back filming. Well, as it turned out it was an advert for Perrier. That advert has now been released for those interested. Also, it was shot by Phedon Papamic…
  • I always thought that Sam Shepard - from around his Days of Heaven period -could have been a perfect Bond. He had that brooding quality. There was just something so romantic and steely about him. He had something quiet and thoughtful to him. He woul…

  • I'm feeling weirdly obsessive over DC's look during the casino scenes in CR. I've spend the last few days Googling clips and screencaps, comparing scenes and feel his hair fluctuates massively. Sometimes, it looks great, other times flat or messy. I…
  • The cat is out of the bag (again).... https://twitter.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1324097565231632385 Also, it must be said that this new photo of Nomi with the DBS is pretty fantastic. I think this might be my favourite costume choice for NTT…
