Honestly, I think they should just make a new one with Daniel Craig and have him handwave away his demise the way the Baron does at the end of Gilliam's Baron Munchausen film. "And THAT was just one of the occasions where I met my death!"

Right. Movie Bond died. Or, rather, THAT movie Bond died. Plenty of room for alternate versions of the character.

The same. If I had more time I might have driven out of town, but that's not an option on a week night.

So which of the two Taytos is the Vulcans of crisps? I tend to think of Northern Tayto as the Vulcans but maybe I'm wrong.

Yes, it's a gorgeous night sky. Would that I gawp at it a little longer.

The O'Donnells crisps are amazing. This island does crisps so well it should be mentioned in the National Anthem.

Lots of regular investors suffering because W/Y can't find anyone competent to run their bio-weapons division.

That is some expert level pedantry!

We can safely assume that Saban would continue making Power rangers shows even after Britain was abandoned to rage zombies, though I am anxious to know how such a thing would impact international film and TV markets.

Agreed.

Freddie Francis was somehow both one of the greatest Cinematographer who ever lived and also, somehow, the guy who okayed the day-for-night shots in Evil of Frankenstein. Humans are complex!

No. My only V ancillary media experience was the tie-in novel V: East Coast Crisis.

Part of the ongoing trend in this digital era of creating weirdly stylised night scenes which look even less like actual night than those day-for-night in mid-60s Hammer films where they'd just place some blue cellophane over the lens.

My real 28YL pedantry is reserved for its timelines.

I remember loitering around Ardmore Studios when the sets for Space Truckers were being built and hearing the excited rumours form some that it was REALLY the new Alien sequel using a code name. I recall looking at the Space Diner set and thinking otherwise...

Ironside is amazing. I kinda wish we had gotten the J Michael Straczynski V TV series which would have focused on Ironside's Ham Tyler having scrapes in a world still struggling with the aftermath of that alien invasion.
November 9, 2025 at 10:25 PM
Ah, just learning about that now.

There's a lot of the recent Peter Rabbit films and the earlier Peter Rabbit 3D animated series in the mix too.

Actually, yes.

Or that Duran Duran covers album where they murdered 9-1-1's a Joke.
