I don’t really count Niven and I can’t explain the gap between Brosnan and Craig. Maybe it has something to do with switching on the superconducting supercollider. I’m also still disappointed Halle Berry as Jinx didn’t get a spin off movie.
It will end up being someone lousy. The Bond franchise is like Star Trek films. You get good bond/lousy bond/good bond cycles over and over. They’ll go for someone pretty, it will flop after one or two movies, and then they’ll hire a good actor again.

I seriously doubt Netflix will put it in theaters at all, and if they do it will be in a handful to qualify for awards season. When the studios own the streaming channels, there’s very little incentive to release movies in theaters anymore.
I’d be more concerned that there aren’t going to be any movie theaters left at this rate. The studios own all the streaming channels now — they’re going to cut out the middle man.
We need a Venom and Morbius buddy movie.
Try Shazamming it. If you have an iPhone, just say, “hey siri what’s this song?” while the scene is playing.
You can probably do something similar with Google assistant if you have an android phone.
“bemoaning directors’ over-reliance on music as ‘pushing emotion’ on audiences”
One of my pet peeves. It’s usually the sign of a poorly made movie if you feel you have to lay on the music because actors performances aren’t enough to convey the emotions of a scene.
Really though the last mentioned issue in the article is the main problem. (Gotta get you to scroll to the end!) The movies are mixed for a theater sound system and most don’t get remixed for television.
They’d probably like this over at !activist_and_polemic_art@lemmy.world
Exorcist II is bonkers and worth a watch just for the craziness of it all.
No test screenings. Oopsie.
That photo looks like CGI.
Takeaway message — if you want your work shown in theaters, don’t sell your production to Warner-Discovery.
Is this one of the leftover rides from Action Park?
But are you wise?
I nominate “Until The End Of The World”. The movie is quite a mess, but it gives a good peek into what people thought the near future would be like at the time.
I especially enjoy its use of “computer agents” which were supposed to be the next big thing. Basically you would send your query or task to run overnight, or to a more powerful computer in the cloud, and it would return the results later that day. Home computers and PDAs weren’t fast enough to return instant results for large jobs, and Google didn’t exist yet (but WAIS did).
Strange Days is like an alternate universe where the miniDisc became the dominant format.
Rocketeer was so good. I’m amazed Disney hasn’t rebooted it as a TV series.
Maybe they were referring to the actors’ regimen for getting bulked out for their parts.
