I think a big part of it was that Kurtz was telling Lucas, who stayed in Cali, that “We’re behind schedule but on budget” when they were bleeding money from day one.

I think that was Live and Let Die, which is a pretty lazy script to begin with. Let’s be honest, that is again a post-production decision made by the makers of the film. I think they were having a problem with finding the identity of Bond in a post Connery franchise.

He was a great Bond in Goldeneye. He was let down by everything that came after it. I honestly thought that Goldeneye was going to be a whole new era for Bond. Apparently, so did Eon as they doubled the production budget on the next film. Instead it fell pretty flat afterwards and went head first into the over-the-top…

I, by no means, think that Octopussy is a good Bond film. I think that the intro is fun and quite possibly one of the greatest ever for the franchise. Moore’s Bond is the self-aware Bond that knows that he’s in a cheesy spy movie and gives the camera a wink and nod every now and then. As much as I think Brosnan was a…

I don’t think this article truly describes the horrendousness that is Smokey & the Bandit Part 3. The original subtitle was Smokey Is the Bandit because the original plot was that Justice was to take the place of the Bandit since Burt and director Hal Needham had decided to move on from the franchise. Test screening…

I grew up in the late Roger Moore era of Bond, and that’s why he’ll always be my Bond. I think he gets a lot of the crap for creative decisions made by the producers. He didn’t make Bond campy. They did. He just did his best to do what they paid him to do. Octopussy also has the most on brand opening sequence for that…

All your anecdote really proves is that Google, the maker of the Andriod platform, makes the superior infortainment system. 

Maybe the numbers weren’t that good. The show is pretty meh. It didn’t really set the world on fire. Cancelling an expensive show that doesn’t get many steaming views is exactly how a streaming service works.

It was made for HBO Max and not for theatrical release. It was cancelled because they got huge tax breaks to pay for the merger. 

I don’t know. If it really was so bad as that you couldn’t ever release it, why would you talk up the people who made the huge, flaming pile of dogshit and want to work with them again? While we can’t be 100% sure either way, this does come off as trying to calm down the internet chatter about how much the merger is…

There is really only one suitable reply to this news.

He has the perfect accent to pop up and say, “I’m not dead yet.” And I hope it happens.

No, having too man charcuterie boards is the whitest thing ever.

Willow was never a great movie. It was pretty middle of the road, so I didn’t expect much from this show. I’m still disappointed. The movie had a good bit of humor to it, but they’re trading jokes and quips for actual story and character development. The troll that talked like a store manager at the returns desk was…

The next movie after T2 should have been the war with Skynet. Salvation screwed up what should have been the obvious storyline: the rescueing and prepping of Kyle Reese and the introduction of the Terminators into the war. Instead we get this week “I’m a human! No, you’re a robot!” story. I think the genius of the…

Mid to late 90's was peak AIDS awareness. Let’s be honest. Hollywood was beginning to exploit it due to its place in American consciousness. Jesus Christ! Walker: Texas Ranger had an AIDS storyline.

Her lack of big budget work most likely comes down to two things:
1) Her star faded pretty quickly. She spent a lot of…

I know. Lance is better left forgotten, but the announcement of MJF actually makes me want to see what he does with it.

Well, it turns out that it’ll be wrestler MJF.

As much as they tried to make a deal, they just couldn’t put it together.

Yeah... I don’t think those guys and Disney are talking to each other anymore.
