  • 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…

  • Cats and curiosity, sure. Perhaps now there is a corollary statement: Budgetary constraints killed the bat...girl...movie.

  • 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 …

  • Doh ! How did I miss that ? Speaking of Predator - I very much enjoyed the one in which the Native lady in the land later known as America fought the Predator (Prey, 2022). Really, that idea could be extended. Those Predators could have visited at …

  • Nay. I call for a Bond who's so damaged that he's suicidal. Everything he does is calculated to destroy the villain and their plan AND to obliterate Bond, too, but, by a series of unforeseen and unlikely events and surprises, Bond survives. So, by t…

  • Where might Bond go ? Literally ? That is, which location ? Doha As reported in an article on website : Reel re: financing for a Broccoli/Craig production of Othello. August 19, 2024 article
  • I think we're going to see a new actor in each role. Of course, I've also said we should have Bond die in each film coming up, with new actors each time, until it gets to the point of being a surprise if he survives. This way, many more actors get t…

  • Tea and Bullets
  • Right. Sounds like nonsense...high-pitched nonsense
  • This issue is broad. Teachers observe - for elementary school-age children, not just teenagers - a lack of ability to focus, to complete a sentence, a lack of care about paying attention...ugh
