Next month there will be released a 4K box with the complete “The New Avengers” tv series with Patrick Magnee as Steed, Joanna Lumley as Purdey and Gareth Hunt as Gambit.
The trailer looks fantastic.

My take: it’s just more expensive and more of a hassle to go to a theatre and put up with all the stressers there than stay home and wait for the streaming.
So, yes, streaming has ruined the movie business which only thinks that hyped IP can work. And it does for the teenagers, only not for seasoned adults.

How wonderful, sell another big studio by breaking off its parts for stripmining.
Yeah, this will be so good for the industry…

Last Wednesday Famke Janssen was a guest in the Dutch personality tv show Lubach. He’s the guy who went virial with a video about Holland aka The Netherlands imitating Donald Trump.
Famke was great and funny and she talked about GoldenEye and the sauna scene. She told Bronsan to realy smash her against the wall, because it all was fake and not a real location, but she didn’t count on that it was made from real concrete and she broke a rib.

Another way to look at the recent box office bombs. From the article:
If you produce a cartoon, a superhero film or a video-game adaptation that flops – such as Smurfs, The Flash or Borderlands – you can’t console yourself by talking about art and prestige. But if you put your money into a Paul Thomas Anderson film then, whatever happens at the box office, you’ve still got a Paul Thomas Anderson film. The chances are that you’ll be proud of it. In some ways, it’s about as safe a bet as a studio executive can make.

Well, it is the age of Zorin. And the only guy who could stop him is dead.

Not directly Bond related, but may well shape Aston Martin’s future product placement strategy. Reaching such a high profile again as they did in NO TIME TO DIE is at least highly unlikely - if they ever go to such lengths again…

If there was a movie half as intriguing as Gone Girl or at least as good as Tenet maybe somebody would

While I am being critical of most films released during the last decade I don’t think it’s the quality which keeps audiences away or draws them in. Too much drivel has been successful.
It’s habits, prices, and the knowledge that the content will be available at home soon.
In other words: humanity is the reason.

What case? You say you have not seen them, so how can you evaluate them?

How we did it before the internet…by the trailer. If the trailer can´t get me really interested, I can easily wait for them until they are on the telly or not even that for most of it
Not news but another Facebook post I saw that some might enjoy. It’s always possible these sorts of posts are made up, but I really want to believe this one is true:
one time in the early 2000s I was working on a building site in Wilton Place. at a end of the day after work I was walking up the road towards Hyde Park tube station when I noticed some guy squatting down hiding behind a car, “What’s he up to?” I thought to myself. I kept on walking whilst keeping an eye on the guy but inadvertanly bumped into someone coming the other way down the pavement. He was enormous towering over me. Suddenly realisation started to dawn on me who it was - Sean Connery. “MR BOND” I exclaimed, (I couldn’t help myself). He looked at me with a scowl which then turned to a smile, “No, He’sh over there” he replied and pointed to Roger Moore getting into a taxi, they had just had lunch together at the “Boxwood Cafe”. The guy hiding behind the car was a pap trying to get a shot of them together

Understood. But a not intriguing trailer does not mean that the film will be unintriguing. Just look to the trailer for ALL ABOUT EVE if you need an example.
