  • As for Chris Pratt as Indy...too...dull...There's another question. We already have seen Indy from young to much older. If the producers were to make more IJ films, they'll need another actor. If the stories are set in between the existing films, th…
  • Please not Villeneuve. His films are sleep-inducing.
  • Hope you find it supercedes my impression, which might be most efficiently defined as follows: Meh-scal
  • With Idris Elba as a villain no one would pay attention to the Bond actor. The obvious question of how much better he'd be as Bond would be unavoidable. You shouldn't cast an actor for the villain, M, sidekick, etc. who would outshine the Bond actor.

  • Even if one of his films were NOT entitled "The Prestige"

  • Wouldn't the ending of the Brosnan-EON relationship prove to be awkward, at best, for any commentary ? Any commentary, that is, attached to an official distribution

  • They are separate characters not suitable for combining. Moneypenny is the assistant to M, who has top rank and would DEFINITELY get to work with an Assistant dedicated to the task. Q is the Quartermaster - in charge of weapons and other devices, in…
  • MIght there be someone acting primarily on the stage who may be ready to make a strong impression on screen ?

  • BTW on the flip side, sort of, I always have found QOS to be excellent. It is quick, full of action, and MOVES. For one thing, in particular, the opera sequence, including the chase, fight and getaway at the end of it is elegant.
  • SF up there but is it even the best among just Daniel Craig's Bond films ? Hmm....Isn't CR a better film ?
  • SKIING: I have to figure that with the care taken in producing Bond films these days, it would look MUCH better than in the painfully obvious sequences shot in studio with the Bond actor in front of a screen. That was the case in OHMSS, in TWINE an…

  • Indeed ! TB, despite its faults, is just plain FUN ! As were other faulty Bond films which, when released, were very popular and were FUN - OP, DAF
  • As I understand the point behind his Numbered total for films he will have directed, and no more, isn't it about Quality and Inspiration ? OK. So just don't make any sub-par films or any for which you are not inspired. Martin Scorcese and plenty o…

  • Also - it is becoming common and no surprise to read that a film was intended for theaters but no, it will go to streaming right off. Some of these films may be fun but they look cheap, they're kind of dumb and I think it is just as well they went …
