Saying Trans women aren’t women is transphobic. Suggesting trans people are child molesters is transphobic. Calling trans people rapists in transphobic.

But we don’t actually know what Jada’s conversation with Chris Rock about the boycott was actually like.

I liked it- it was one of the scenes in the film that handled Indy’s aging well I felt. As Jim Broadbent’s character put it ‘they reached the age where life had stopped giving them things and started to take things away.’

They haven’t done that, because that’s not how the producers like to make the Bond films. The producers like to do one film at a time, and prefer to only start working on the next one after the release of the current one.

If we are talking Bond’s being shitty human beings- from Lazenby’s own stories he was just as bad, if not worse, than Connery. At a recent concert event in Perth he told a story about how he pursued the daughter of a famous cricketer- following her to London when she left him, then dragging her out of a pub and…

Plus Uncharted is based on a huge video game series with an inbuilt fanbase. And I don’t think that can be forgotten about if we are talking Tom Holland as a ‘movie star.’
Because that brand recognition was a huge part of selling the movie- how would Holland go at the box office carrying something that doesn’t have an…

Lazenby had a chance to make more films. He just chose not to sign the contract on the advice of his manager who felt Bond was out of date and Lazenby figured he could leverage doing one Bond film into further stardom. It’s entirely on him that he didn’t do more films.

I’d disagree with that- his first bedroom scene with Tracey has him twisting her arm and features this exchange-

Yeah, but it sounds like Coogler and the cast of the film were the ones who didn’t want to recast him. And I understand that; it sounds like they were fairly close to Chadwick and I don’t think they could handle the thought of making an entire film with someone else in his role so soon after his death.

Plus the team making Black Panther 2 worked very closely with Chadwick/ were quite close to him by all accounts, while it looks like no one involved in these films even worked with William Hurt before.

‘and my understanding of his personal life and sexuality went no deeper than “I understand he’s bi.” ’

To give you a bit more of an understanding- Harry hasn’t come out as bi, and has made a point of not labeling his sexuality saying he feels labels are outdated and he doesn’t want to share this information with the…

It was. In the original linear notes for the Star Wars soundtrack- John Williams said that it was the theme for Ben Kenobi and the theme for the Force. (Like how the main theme was both the theme for the saga and the theme for Luke originally.)

Sorry, but after that one, they deserve a ban from the property.

I’m the opposite because I feel it loses something not having those two involved.

Agreed. One of the things I always look for when it comes to pop albums and song credits is if the artist has any songs where they are the sole credited writer. If they have even a couple of songs across their albums that are credited to just them, I tend to lean towards the idea that they are active in the songwriting…

After Skyfall was a big hit and won the Oscar, they seem to see it as the template for the songs that the recent ones have followed.
Get a popular contemporary artist in to do a slower ballad based around the Bond progression...and as much as I’d like some more variety it has paid off for them with the Oscar wins for…

You’re not wrong there- that Coppola’s own track record is certainly a factor in this. But this isn’t a problem unique to Coppola.

...I pointed to those two films because they are two of the most iconic films of the 20th century.

Action is a genre of film, just like Rock is a genre of music.

I think what says it all is that to make his big passion project Coppola is spending $120 million of his own money. It’s an absurd amount of money, and it’s good for him that he’s in a position where he can do that but it says it all that Studios are not interested in taking a gamble on an original project from…
