I think maybe the key moment in the trailer that explains the peppy music is the brief frames where they appear to be at a dance of some kind with everyone throwing their arms up. There might be an element of fighting for more than just unrelenting grim stoicism to it. Also, the song is...

Is the "other work from the era" here primarily written by Americans or also by people with similar backgrounds to Fleming? I wonder if that could account for some of the difference.

You know I am sometimes guilty of thinking it would be better if something terrible happened, preferably to someone else, because it would clarifying and then people would wake up. But I am not sure that many people ever actually wake up - no matter what happens.

"We cannot have any real villains because we might make less money," is definitely a problem for art.

There is a tangible benefit to never talking about 001: it maintains a modicum of intense mystery.

We could look at it from another angle too: is another 00 Agent also dealing with SPECTRE, or are there other organizations out there that Bond just never really had anything to do with?

I tried to observe the making of a pizza today while G was going through her Valentine's Day video on stream and it did not seem like she added more cheese after putting the toppings on.

The aforementioned Nomi.

Come on, guys. Get a grip. ; )

Have I ever mentioned my "biracial people are white" stance on casting on these boards? As a matter of equity since the probability of roles specifically for biracial people is rather low that for casting purposes biracial people are, in fact, white, no matter how they self identify or what the...

Opinions are subjective but the ideas that motivate opinions are open to debate. Not necessarily here, given the rules. But in general. Of course people can also make incorrect assumptions about which ideas motivate your opinions as well.

That seems a bit self contradictory to me. Because if the position is that James Bond cannot be played by a white male then there is simply no point to making any Bond or Bond adjacent movie. And hence "anyone" becomes "no one al all" .

I was watching Upgraded last night and Archie Renaux might have potential to grow into the role. He may not have the acting chops (yet) and is a little younger than some of the other contenders but he has a good look to him. Not sure if he was mentioned already up thread.

Apparently a sequel to Atomic Blonde is being held up by a rights issue?

I am sure you mean well but at this particular moment in time I found the idea of the US appropriating Bond to be momentarily rage inducing.

You could always just observe PizzaPrincessG making pizza for like eight hours a day on Twitch.

That's actually kinda interesting. Those two were the co-leads in a Freaky Friday-style movie called The Swap back in 2016.

Is it possible to thread the needle between copaganda and copicature? In any case I need to get working on watching the latest season of The Rookie. I think we can all appreciate here that even if you dislike copaganda it goes down easier when it is Nathan Fillion (and Melissa O'Neil for me...

Do musical trends and movie trends ever go hand in hand or are they wholly detached from one another?

I saw a suggestion on Facebook actually that there is going to be a push in Hollywood towards films with Christian themes. Because some some people prefer catering to the subsection of society that is currently "winning" . Though period pieces tend to also be costly. It was mentioned in the...
