  • Just when you thought the whole Ghostbusters thing couldn't get any worse, they debut the new theme song today:
  • I can't really say that I subscribe to the idea that there is a "definitive" version of Bond. The now six portrayals of the character have all brought something unique to the table, and on top of that they've all tended to build upon each other a b…

  • I just sincerely hope that EON has cast the net significantly wider than these two supposed "frontrunners". If they haven't, and I'd be shocked if this is as far as they've looked, then this has got to be the worst set of finalists for the role we'…

  • I'd take Cillian Murphy over some of the already mentioned names. At the very least, he'd be interesting in the role, something I would tend to value over simply just looking the part and playing it pretty much down the middle, which is where I see…

  • I should start my own internet rumor. You heard it here first, folks. Timothy Dalton will return as James Bond in 2018. From what my sources are telling me, it's a three picture deal with a studio option for a fourth. ;)
  • I don't share your optimism. I get the impression he's a dealmaker based on small print and bullying. That will neverreassure your friends. Those relationships are built on long time trust, not short term profit. Funnily enough I don't think anyo…
  • I just keep waiting for this supposed "shift" or "pivot" I keep being told that Donald is going to make, going from the jackass he's currently displaying to the electorate to the serious candidate that his supporters insist he really is. This idea …

  • If they were searching six months ago, their actor/director choices would have been entirely different. (Again, assuming any of this is true) [/quote] That's a very important point. If that's indeed the direction they go, then the search …
  • I guess the way I'll be able to talk myself into supporting Hiddleston is that EON could have gotten it much worse, if indeed there's any truth to this rumor. Hiddleston at least has some semblance of charisma and screen presence, whereas Turner ha…
  • I could see this as a reasonable way to continue on from Spectre while getting the writers out of the corner that Logan, P&W, and Butterworth painted them into. Blofeld could offer the bounty from his jail cell, which would upset Bond and Mad…

  • I don't think the filmgoers got that dramatically younger between Skyfall, which pulled in $304 million in the US and Spectre, which did limp across the $200 million mark domestically. Plain and simple, the rest of the world just seemed to embrac…
