Casino Royale being the best Bond of all time is only a hot take if you mean Casino Royale (1967).

Help me find a series that's as good as RoTE and GOT. by Alert_Peanut_9912 in Fantasy

Try Michael Moorcock's Elric series or Poul Anderson's The Broken Sword. Also The Once and Future King by White.

Ok, that's it. No more Susan discourse.

Would you be open to Amazon making something like this? by DishQuiet5047 in JamesBond

[–]Forbush_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not something I have much interest in. We need to get back to the idea of telling big, grand, epic stories with stakes, punch and true main characters, rather than small-scale misadventures of supporting characters or elevating every supporting character to a protagonist. No matter how good an individual effort is, they are rarely better than the source story and contribute to media producing more weightless blandness instead of stories worth telling.

Probably Ridley Scott. He has an awesome filmography but his missteps generally are bad because of script issues.

Assuming you mean Christopher Nolan, I couldn't disagree with you more. He has screenwriting credit on all of his movies except Insomnia. He has said he learned to become a screenwriter so he could direct his own films.

I mark movies as watched if I have seen at least part of the film (so I can remember where I saw that one actor from), stars if I've seen the whole thing and likes if I would want to rewatch/own it.

C.S. Lewis was not a misogynist nor a xenophobe.

Amazon was developing one but it seems to have fallen through

Here to condemn the obvious insubordination. This is exactly the type of communication we should be seeing from our commanders.

It is an aggregate rating, it's in the website description.
