  • I'm rooting for Nolan but I hope he doesn't bring Hoytema or ATJ with him.
  • #17 Adrian Biddle's TWINE cinematography is effective and appropriately moody for the deception-driven plot (he also lensed Aliens, The Mummy, and 1492: Conquest of Paradise). The issue is Apted's direction, which doesn't quite have the punch that…
  • P&W can only write what they're told to write. The main problem seems to be the producers and their insistence on making every single movie some sort of personal journey for Bond. If they approached the series the same way Cubby did, and just …

  • John Williams says they're filming another ending at 5:50. This lends credence to the leaks being real and getting extremely negative responses.
  • Not big on ATJ. He has an odd way about him. When Craig was cast I was all for him, but after the last decade or so of subversion and deconstruction, I think they need an actor who is undeniably appropriate for the role, and not someone they have …
  • No American locations in the Brosnan era?

  • Honestly, the Crystal Skull teaser was better. It was fun and showcased a couple good stunts and quips. This is rather joyless and generic, very much in line with what every modern teaser is like (sad echoing piano, rising strings, random action s…

  • Not it. Clues so far: It has to do with Bond himself It involves dialogue. It involves a certain location. Another clue: it involves a Bond tradition.
  • Not it. Another clue: it has to do with a certain location.
  • Connery: DAF Bond almost seems like a different character here. There's no sense of his suaveness or lethality, he basically wanders from one set piece to the next, often getting captured and then just lucking out without having any plan of his ow…
  • Bumping with another clue: it involves dialogue.
  • "I had it piersh'd the other day. Touch it."
  • I don't think the leaks are fake. For one, James Mangold went out of his way to shoot them down on twitter, which actually lends credence to them, just like how JJ Abrams did with Trek and SW, whose leaks were proven accurate. Lucasfilm always had…
  • The plot and ending have been leaked, and all I can say is... yikes. Of course the leaks might not be accurate, but they were for Star Wars, NuTrek, and a few other big franchises in recent years.
  • That's not it but it does involve Bond himself.
  • Nothing to do with animals. It's something that happens in only these three movies, with one subtle difference.

  • No women holding guns in the 60s?
  • 90s is OOO because there are no women in water?

  • LeBon's and Necros' walkmans double as detonators?
  • Simon Le Bon listens to a walkman in the AVTAK music video. Necros listens to a walkman in TLD. Pola is OOO because she uses a tape recorder without headphones.
