Is that even the same actor? From the eyes upwards he looks eerily similar to Roger Moore.

I've never heard of the website Puck, so I don't know if it's reliable or not, but apparently it is reporting that Amy Pascal and David Heyman have been selected by Amazon to produce the next Bond film. Heyman is probably best known as the producer of the Harry Potter films, and I'm guessing you ...

Firstly, sorry to hear you've been unwell, Kris and hope you are feeling better now.

As for the Amazon takeover, I am going to cautiously say that some good might come out of this in some form. We all wanted a change and there is more chance of that happening now for better or worse. Regarding spin ...

Charles Gray's Blofeld certainly looked very different and acted fairly different to the others. It's campy comic book stuff in DAF but I do enjoy his idiosyncratic delivery. Pleasance's Blofeld has a few dark jokes, "It won't be the nicotine that kills you," whereas Gray's takes the humor to ...

Thank you for your faith Acid and for putting a more eloquent spin on my feelings in the matter, so yeah, basically this /\


Any time, friend :cheers:


This too! I'm usually a bit more magnanimous when the trolls come to call, but for whatever reason I seem to be "in a mood" as of late ...

And Dirty Benny, I should say I don’t know why I may’ve rubbed you the wrong way, however, I’d be willing to have a further conversation with you.

Because this type of communication is difficult and anything can be read between the lines, I’d be happy to set a video call with you?

I ...

From the description, and interviews I've read, this does appear to be about Desmond Llewellyn's Q, rather than Cleese's or Whishaw's. Surprised IFP has the rights to use the character - I thought he was strictly from the movies, and doesn't appear in the books.


But with the title of Quantum ...

In other news, there has been rumbles coming out of Amazon/MGM and how some of the anointed executives that Amazon has put in play to deal with feature film slates are untested in the blockbuster/tentpole arena. Their background is in the 20-30 million dollar range not $200 million. This has ...

It's not just the string line, the lyrics also seem to fit the film's theme. Hell, the first line is "where is the solace that I crave?" But if Arnold says it wasn't completed in time, I suppose we have to take his word for it.


It does seem like a strange distinction. If they couldn't use it ...

For the songs they should've got Dame Shirley Bassey to do another one or two while she still can. Amazingly, she's still got the voice for it or had last time I heard her a few years ago, but honestly her talents would be wasted on any Craig era flick. Dame Shirley's rejected QOS theme:


Was ...

If I may be allowed to paraphrase, Bond was and should be a liquor swilling night on the town. Instead, what the Daniel era films did was focus on the hangover the morning after.


Exactly DB. For the Bond of Fleming's books, every mission was a non stop adrenaline rush, often fueled by various ...

Dreamt I found out about two more Bond films starring Sir Roger, made in the years after AVTAK. The first was quite soon after and I think the second may have been in the early nineties. He looked quite different, not really much older, just different. His hairstyle was like a longer version of ...

I forgot to say it's really interesting that critics and apparently audiences have been much kinder to Brosnan and Fast Charlie than some of his earlier post Bond action efforts. It's at 83% on Rotten Tomatoes compared to just 35% for The November Man! Is this a case of the Brosnan bashing having ...

I've not seen them but I suppose I might endure a clip.

Nice work, BJ. That's great he corrected the article and it made me laugh. :cheers:

I watched Fast Charlie and it's entertaining enough and worth a look. The second half is exciting with a lot of tense moments and nice action, but the first half drags a bit. Brosnan does great and still looks the ...

That's OK Acid. At age 40 he has over a decade to be Bond but Broccoli won't choose him. Actually, I never heard of the "E" version of Turner, but at 46, he would be better than ATJ as well! https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e6/Aiden_Turner.jpg


Yep both Turners look the part and ...

At first glance I'd say EON could do worse than going with ATJ, a lot worse. I'd have to actually see him in the role to decide for sure though. He looks a bit young at the moment but at the rate they've been making films that could turn into an advantage soon.

Like most of you I'm sure I still ...
