and that has affected the way they are put together - no longer is it a slow build from a studio logo over black… take all the ‘trailer for trailer’ bumpers playing at the start…or editing the first 5-10 seconds in an attention grabbing way (eg the opening of Trailer 2)

One reason for not having credits on these any more may be the fact, that the thin and ultra narrow font doesn’t display very well on those screens. Could be that it looks like gibberish. But that’s pure guesswork on my side. As I’m living in a small town, I’m lacking experience with these screens. The cinemas I usually frequent still have printed posters and lobby cards.
It’s a poster when it’s actually getting printed. If not it simply isn’t. And that’s not just because. If you design something for print, there are certain technical issues you need to take into account, which you don’t need to care for when it’s designed for the screen. For example, the gold lettering on the NTTD poster, good luck with getting it printed properly…

Alright, I stand corrected. NOW we’ve come full circle. Started with him getting his balls busted relentlessly for wearing a life jacket and now…just awesome.

As a retired US Navy Lieutenant Commander, I say well done to CDR Craig!

Seems a missed opportunity to have him return to MI6 as a civilian in No Time To Die not wearing his naval uniform.

Fantastic news. The enthusiasm for James Bond and this particular film is clearly still there. Let’s all hope for the best possible financial result, all things considered.
As long as that’s the only fever we’re getting them I’m happy.

That older swaying audience (read: vaccinated) may end up being the asset that the other films released this year didn’t have.

Yup, we’re looking at first fully sold out screenings at places like the OLS or BFI…700 full capacity, with no masks or distancing mandated. Vaccine (82% of eligible population double jabbed, 66% of total) is effectively our only wall of defence, the industry has been very much against passports and stuff unlike other places in Europe (and live concert/sports events here).
Ended up booking extra seats just for that extra distancing peace of mind - pricey (including those train tickets) but damn it, worth it and so so ready to finally see this. At least my 3x IMAX tickets ended up totalling as much as a single ticket for OLS or BFI…
No masks, no distancing, no vaccination passport…
The virus will be delighted.

Well it’s good like that. It will take the afternoon off if you’ve got a big social event planned. It did that for the football last month…

Have first two days of the New York Film Festival under my belt. They are checking proof of complete vaccination and masks must be worn at all times with no food/beverage allowed. They have shut down the café in the lobby.
Majority of screening had rush tickets on offer, and of the four I had to today at Alice Tully Hall (largest venue), only one was filled (Norwegian film–THE WORST PERSON OIN THE WORLD).
But be assured: next week’s screening to DUNE is sold out–it was the the first to go along with Almodovar’s PARALLEL MOTHERS.
