Some Bond love for Timothy Dalton.

By Burbanked on Jan 4, 2008 in Movies, Newest | 787 views |

timothy dalton hates you. I’m right on board with with what Karina’s talking about in “5 Great Actors, 5 Crap Bond Films” on SpoutBlog today - especially when it comes to Walken - but we diverge when it comes to Licence To Kill. Had it been up to me, I’d have kept Timothy Dalton in 007-style tuxedos for more than just two films, primarily due to the anger and nastiness he brought to the stripped-down-to-basics, revenge-motivated Bond in Licence. C’mon, it’s got terrifically crag-faced Robert Davi in the villain role, what’s not to love?

11.20.2008Dedicated screenwriting 101 here: From an interview with Harrison Ford on the MTV Movies Blog in which the inevitability of another Indiana Jones movie is mentioned:
MTV: Is the ball in George’s court at this point? Ford: It is. That’s the process. With some general input he goes off and searches for the MacGuffin and then stumbles into a story. And at some point we have a chance to take a look at and give some input.
Now granted this is Ford’s opinion of Lucas’ “creative process”, yet still: when one of the three principals of the Indiana Jones legacy classifies the story creation process as a haphazard, one-man effort that only superficially seeks outside input, it’s hard not to feel frustrated. Not surprised, just frustrated. Dear Mr. Spielberg: please put your foot down and either demand a coherent story or walk away. Just do us all a favor, could you? Maybe? (found via FilmDrunk)

11.19.2008Okay, I need your help here. Sonny, Michael Corleone and Tom Hagen keep bringing up the fact that they want to go see Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.How do I get out of this? I love going to the movies with my boys, opening up their minds to the great pleasures of cinema and all that, but this is a hard one. Please help me: do I suck it up and just go, or can anyone out there provide me with a plausible, kind-hearted, permanent way out? (10)

11.14.2008I’m not sure how to say it nicely: This one-sheet is crap.(additional thoughts about Apatow/Sandler’s collaboration here) (3)

10.23.2008What an excellent tribute to the late great movie voiceover guy Don LaFontaine. No need for more words, because the Voice already says it all:See more funny videos at Funny or Die (5)
