“Did you love how the last Fantastic Beasts movie spent most of the movie hinting at and eventually revealing irrelevant connections between characters? Did you love how Spectre tried to retroactively make Blofeld “the author of all your pain” in the three previous Daniel Craig 007 movies? Or how about how Spider-Man 3 revealed that the Sandman actually kinda-sorta killed Uncle Ben? You’re in for a treat.”

Reading the whole article the guy seems a bit unhinged though.

Probably is. But there’s a entertainment media schadenfreude about Star Wars falling on its face

More John Barry goodness. The Ray Harryhausen podcast has an episode on the music of Clash of the Titans featuring clips of Barry's unused score for the film, which is a thing I didn't know existed until now: https://soundcloud.com/rayharryhausenfo ... the-titans

His film is considered by film historians and fans as Harryhausen's masterwork, Jason and the Argonauts (1963). Among the film's several celebrated animation sequences is an extended fight between three actors and seven living skeletons, a considerable advance on the single-skeleton fight scene in Sinbad. This stop-motion sequence took over four months to complete.--------great film I just watched it on TCM on cable last week and it is one of my all-time favorite films, and there is not one well known actor in it to boot but the storyline and special effects are great Todd Armstrong, (Jason), took part-time work as a landscape gardener. During his time as a landscaper he was discovered by actress Gloria Henry, who played the mother on the Dennis the Menace television series. Henry learned of her gardener's acting aspirations and was dazzled enough by Armstrongs’s good looks to arrange for him to get a screen test at Columbia Pictures, where she was under contract. His first starring role was the title character in Jason and the Argonauts (1963), but his voice was dubbed by British actor Tim Turner, since a majority of the cast were British. In 1992, he suffered an injury while working, and soon became addicted to painkillers. After this, he committed suicide by shooting himself on November 17 of that same year. He was 55.

I wouldn't say there were no well-known actors in Jason. Honor Blackman played Hera and Patrick Troughton played Phineas. I have seen Nigel Terry (Hercules) in a few other things too.

I assume your choice of advent calendar image was not a coincidence?

No it wasn't. I saw the sad news before the entry. I did plant to have Janet Brown as Margaret Thatcher on election day.

Daniel Craig Reveals Why He’s Returning As James Bond In No Time To Die

When Spectre came out in 2015, there were reasons to believe it might be Daniel Craig’s last outing as James Bond – not least due to the actor himself at one point saying he would rather ‘slash his wrists’ than don the 007 tux again, a comment which he not long after retracted. But with 2020 looming, we’re about to see Craig’s Bond return for a fifth and final time in No Time To Die, picking up a few years down the line from that last instalment.

Speaking to Empire for the upcoming world exclusive No Time To Die issue – on newsstands from Friday 27 December – Craig spoke about his decision to return as the MI6 agent after Spectre. “If that had been it, the world would have carried on as normal, and I would have been absolutely fine,” he says. “But somehow it felt like we needed to finish something off. If I’d left it at Spectre, something at the back of my head would have been going, ‘I wish I’d done one more.’” While Sam Mendes’ second Bond film linked together the likes of Quantum, Spectre, Mr. White and other elements of the Craig era, the actor had his own thoughts about where the continuing story might end up. “I always had a kind of secret idea about the whole lot in my head, and where I wanted to take it. And Spectre wasn’t that,” he explains. “But this feels like it is.

Well, that was a lot of words to say absolutely nothing.

He is back for the rather large amount of money he gets for Bond movies. He probably could not tell you what happened in Spectre.


Merry Christmas

Let me translate for you:

"If SPECTRE had been my last film I would have been fine with that as I hate the Bond character and wanted out as soon as I was in." " But after looking at the dismal state of my career I knew I had to cash in one more time." "I mean who knew Logan Lucky wouldn't be a box office goldmine?" "I always had a secret idea in my head of where I wanted this to go, namely my wallet, so knowing Barbara Broccoli is my personal lap dog, I just winked and smirked at her and she let me do whatever I wanted while throwing pallets of cash at me."
