Maybe she really has chemistry with Craig,who knows,but in the trailer there's a scene with him and Monica and if there ever was a definition for wooden and akward...and her appearant claims he is "the best ever" and how "every woman wants to be with Craig in the film".. I mean really??! The last sentence especilly strikes me as nother weak attempt to make the sitution look better now.
is she the one hired because she would have sex with Craig?
The rumor was one of the leading lady's refused Craig he got pissed and wouldn't work until someone who would was hired

The one who is apperantly hired because someone needs to get in the sack with Craig is Stephanie Sigman,some Mexican actress. Lea is the main girl in this movie and an acclaimed French actress.

Sat in my hotel room last night following a pretty tiring day on-site and turned the TV on, mainly for background noise rather than for a specific program. After a few seconds, I recognised the voice emanating from the TV and it was none other than BB’s finest ‘Craig’. Now I’ve not kept abreast of all things Bondian for some time and haven’t watched a Bond film since Craig’s last venture which I actually enjoyed (shame on me). However, before my eyes was quite possibly (IMO) the worst Bond film ever in ‘Quantum of Solace’. If anyone needs reminding how awful Craig can be you need only watch that turd of a film. Despite QOS being dreadful it has intrigued me to start watching Bond films again to no doubt rid me of the painful experience of seeing Craig don the tuxedo.

Anyway, hope you boys and girls are all keeping well.

While flicking through the channels, last night, I too noticed QOS was on. I can tell you that I changed channels with a speed that would make The Flash envious.

Well, expect some reviews to start bubbling out soon I suppose. 148 minutes. They've got to be joking.

Thankfully, I haven't seen it since it came out (and have no plans to ever watch it again). My main memory is that the film didn't even look as if it was finished. Bizarre.

Image Such natural chemistry between these two yokels.......NOT :!: :skull:---------deadline.com: industry sources are projecting that Sony/MGM’s 24th James Bond title Spectre is on track to make $75 million-$80 million stateside, a figure that’s less than the previous installment’s $90.6M opening, Skyfall, which included Thursday previews. Any distributor would relish Spectre‘s lower opening, though some are low-balling the debut on the Sam Mendes-directed film due to a minor case of sequelitis in the wake of that previous Bond, which not only posted the highest opening of all time for a 007 film, but also is the highest-grossing title in the franchise at $304.4M domestic and $1.1B worldwide...............(they are already lowering expectations for this pile of trash :!: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ) :cheers:

Where have you been, gearing up for the SW new film and Skywalker's return? I think SF did a number on your psyche to allow you to say such a thing. :lol: It was trash. Go get reprogrammed with SW December 18th :!:

SW ticket sales shut down fandango.com with overload of requests. ECH-TRE will be long gone once SW opens.

I wasn't able to buy the tickets for first real IMAX showing of SW7 at my area so I had no choice but to buy the one for fake IMAX. :(

Fake IMAX? What's that? I will see SW for sure. It might top Jurassic World globally.

Gotta say that i'm not the slightest bit interested in SW.

This M isn't afraid to take the gloves off. Odd choice of score for that scene.

Happy Back to the Future day!

Just about to pop off to the park with my hoverboard!


Never thought in 1989 we would be ten years without a real Bond movie in 2015. I did not doubt they could still make the movies, over the years many have written articles call for the end/ predicting it. I always had faith the series could continue, I didn't expect the series to break the faith with me.

Anyway off to break a hip trying to hoverboard!
Image


P.S.
In 1989 I though Timothy would make more 007 films because Sean and Roger made so many it was unthinkable the next six years would be empty of 007. Never thought everyone would have a cell phone, smart phones, electronic books. I didn't like Ebooks at first and thought most people would rather real printed books as well. The fantastic stuff predicted like flying cars did not happen however the advancements which did happen were in a way more predictable because it was what people normally did taken to the next step.

wiki has gotten really bad recently. Research associated with "hobbit university" and other information completely and obviously wrong

I think sf was closer to $250 than 200 but definitely over 200.

Spectre's budget was definitely over $300 million.....a truly amazing amount of money to be spent on a film! :shock: .............and that was confirmed, in what i have just read from one of the British newspapers as a review from an early screening of the film!

The reviewer gave the film a 4/5 rating stating that the first half of the film 'Spectre', is as good a Bond action adventure could ever be...............but then states that the second half of the film is not so good, as the film delves into Bond's emotions and his past!

Well...........sort of what i expected it to be from a Sam Mendes directed Bond film............disappointed though to here the reviewer didnt like the 2nd half of the film so much.............i hope its not too wishy washy with small talk................anyway, the bulk of the reviews should be out by the end of the week, so wait to until then, to get an overall feel for the film.

The review came from 'The Independant' which you can read online
