James Arryn Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Started watching Damages...about 5 episodes in. Pretty good, but I don't see how it has the legs to go for several more series without losing a lot of cred, a la Broadchurch or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Christopher Nolan have a go at it & let's see where it goes from there. Imagine a Quentin Tarantino Bond flick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DireWolfSpirit Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Craig has actually been qoted saying he would "slit wrists before doing another Bond movie" so I think it's pretty official he's done with it lolol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughn seems to be very anti movies that have been done before and most Bond's have. It'd have to be an incredibly unique take for him to get involved. Hell, just him doing Kingsman 2 was a big deal considering he has refused to do all sequels in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's really refused sequels so much as circumstances have always led him to do another thing that he thought was more pressing time-wise or a bigger opportunity. More to the point, he pretty clearly loves Bond, you can see it in his movies from Kingsman right back to pretty much winning Daniel Craig the role in Layer Cake. And he was very close to doing it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, he may do it but hard to see why he would now that he's doing Kingsman 2 and I Am Pilgrim, two movies with spies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't do X-Men because someone was developing a film potentially similar to Kingsman and he wanted to get there first, and he didn't do Kick-Ass 2 because he'd already turned down the chance to do X-Men once (he was supposed to do X3) and didn't want to pass up the second bite at the cherry. He's definitely restless, can't argue there, but one vague statement by a guy who says he knows him isn't enough to make me think he'd never do a sequel. He's repeatedly been in talks to take on established franchises - Bond, Star Wars, Flash Gordon, and obviously X-Men - so he's obviously at least open to the idea. You may be right that he's all Spy-d out right now, though, especially if I Am Pilgrim goes through. I wouldn't be surprised to see him do Bond in future, but maybe not next.

Kindly Old Man Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Broad City is back! One of the best comedies on TV. First episode was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Arryn Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Finished season 1 of Damages. Close and the guy playing the principle defence attorney (modelled on Carvell a bit, I think) were great. Danson was solid. The woman playing the lead got a bit frustrating/Keanu-ish, as the series went on, in terms of really adopting 2 facial expressions...one to express humanity, another to express 'I am jaded and don't trust anything anymore', with almost nothing in between. Also the wrap-up got a bit unbelievable. I mean, Close now has a doorman who is party to a murder conspiracy with her. Doesn't seem necessary or anything like a choice she would make. Uncle Pete, sure. Not it sure if I'll watch more, not sure how much I think this can extend suspension...but the reviews are all very positive, so I'll probably take a poke at son point.

Just discovered the show a couple months ago and binged through it in about a week or 2. The season 3 premiere was one of the best episodes they've done, just for that opening sequence.
