Frances Lai, The Upcoming: "Unfortunately, Waltz’s limitless talents as a commanding character actor are wasted on Franz Oberhauser, the nebulous figurehead of SPECTRE , who turns out, inevitably, to have a personal vendetta against Bond. The characterisation of Bond’s nemesis proves to lack depth ...

Hi EA! Let me tell you this: the novelization on here will shockingly surprise you for how accurate it is. Same as the film, in fact. I just read Variety's review and the dude who wrote it is ridiculously kissing ass LOL. Excuse my French. I just can't deal with this level of absurd praise for a fil...

Because note, he also said if he comes back for Bond "It will only be for the money". So that means "You gotta pay me more". It also means that Bond 25 will be his DAF, if they are foolish enough to hire him again. Oh, for sure. I hope with the new people in charge at Sony, and MGM doing better and...

Re: Craig:"I’d Rather Slash My Wrists" Than Do Another Bond I was shocked by the coverage of this story (it is literally everywhere), reading the stories I'm thinking how is this the last straw? After everything he has done that sent up red flags this is the one that crossed the line? The only reas...

Sam Smith is a very good musician and I am sad he is wasted on this crap. ON the other hand, it's still good publicity for him , so I think he is genuinely happy regardless, especially reading what he had to say about it on Twitter. We can have my brother do the theme song for when Bond gets back to...

People on this site ARE OF COURSE PART OF THE 5% that is refined so OF COURSE they will get the movie. I am BEYOND shocked that you would even try this BJ. We have been protesting the lack of class and refinement in Bond and THAT IS EXACTLY WHY it appeals to the MASSES now, because Craig plays a vul...

Ale said: "Because it's WAY too refined for USA audiences...............And (sorry but this is the truth, and yes I AM being an Italian/European snob here, but it's still the truth) the vast majority of Americans won't even get half the jokes in there............. Truth be told, only Italian and Fr...

You said it FBF. Look at poor Ale. She must be devastated that her hero Cavill's UNCLE film bombed badly. Hammer can get out of show business already. He has a horrible presence on film. He made the Lone Ranger look like the Lone "Stranger". Fantastic Bore, with it's PC poorly casted Storm characte...

Good Lord. Will you look at this stupidity? ‘Spectre’ Director Sam Mendes Says New James Bond Movie Is an Origin Story: ‘This Is Only the Beginning’ Insert violent eyeroll. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: I guess he is not informed that the ONLY origin story is CASINO ROYALE, written by the man who CREA...

The Spy Command's review of The Man From UNCLE: https://hmssweblog.wordpress.com/2015/08/13/review-guy-ritchie-adds-an-edge-to-u-n-c-l-e/ Interesting review from a fan of the tv series. Let's hope there is another movie. Seconded! I've read other fan reviews and most are definitely positive. It see...

Joblo:Chris Bumbray:----- While Henry Cavill's Solo is still a silver-tongued ladies' man, right at the start it's revealed that he's a former thief pressed into service for the government (a premise that seems borrowed from another sixties spy show – It Takes a Thief with Robert Wagner). Cavill's ...

Hello darlings, sorry for my absence these past few days, but I've had to deal with less than happy family circumstances (not MY immediate family thankfully, but still family). Sooooo... last night was red carpet and premiere for Man from U.N.C.L.E. and it was a ROARING success!! EW just put out an ...

LOL! I haven't had time to post today because I had a super busy day AND I upgraded my laptop to windows 10 which meant being on my old laptop and keeping an eye on the new one AND I'm still not done. I will definitely get to it tomorrow.

Thank you (and everyone) for the warm welcome! :cheers: Because you so accurately took on the dreadful romance writing in the Craigster's movies, I want to underline that my point was exactly to mock the way they write romance in this disgraceful new turn. NOT a single woman would want to be with a...

New chapter is up, and it's one I've been itching to write for some time. I thought of the gag about Blofeld's hazelnut obsession ages ago, and have been waiting for the appropriate scene ever since. Thanks to Alessandra for skipping over some of the tedious filler so we could get there quicker. It...

I don't understand the complaints about Brosnan's career. He did mighty fine after Bond. NO one gets a big franchise at his age and he had both critical acclaim, and public acclaim. What's the problem? Sometimes it takes stopping to want everything and being happy that you have something good.

How any critics do not destroy this mundane plot will be revealing. Oh they will destroy it. A hell of a lot of them already said when there were leaks (and I mean critics from the big entertainment sites) that it sounded like it was a disaster, convoluted and trite and nonsensical and boring. I ca...

As much as I do like CR, she is the worst thing in it for me.

Exactly!
She BUTCHERED the Vesper character, she was absolutely inadequate.
I don't like CR and she is one of the many reasons why.
