You're far too negative, and not grasping the exciting possibilities of this partnership with a product fulfilment business. When I was a kid I had to suffer the pain of buying action figures based on actors but which didn't really look like them; b…

It's one of those articles which is spinning a narrative out of a few quotes removed from context and a lot of supposition. It also seems to be saying that nothing is happening at all, which I think flies in the face of Peter's 2028 start date. Pete…

With Bond, even when nothing seems happening, there is always another stupid article based on nothing just waiting to drop. That's something we can always count on.

I live in England, I don't need to see a Bond film to see rain!

The important thing is that the film feels like it has a certain momentum. I have often been pulled into watching Skyfall as I flip through channels because I know there is a good scene coming up. There's always another good scene to come in Skyfall…

So we're looking for an actor who has done a lot of work but has failed to make much of an impression? Maybe Aaron Taylor-Johnson is who we're looking for after all!

Just finished listening to Live and Let Die. I think I preferred the film.

I think Raiders of the Lost Ark is perhaps my gold standard for mixing humour into a fairly serious plot. Lots of nice gags in there that don’t undermine any feeling of danger. Die Hard is another great action film which has some funny moments witho…

I really don’t want to see an origin story.

I remember the rumour many years ago was that Owen had said upfront he wanted a percentage of the gross and that Eon wouldn’t play ball. I can certainly see Owen playing hardball thinking he was in a strong position (he was the obvious choice at the…

I’m not a big fan of TDK. Pretty good watch the first time around because if its momentum, but subsequent viewings have left me cold. Ledger’s Joker is great, but I’m not keen on the rest, including the omniscient villain. The fact that the viewer i…

Cinematography has always been important, but up until big flatscreen TVs became predominant Joe Public didn’t really notice. Now that we’ve got very big, very expensive TVs that use things like Dolby Vision as selling points, everyone is a bit more…
