@klast00 It’s not a coincidence that the big creatives from network television 20-30 years ago, like Ronald D. Moore and Vince Gilligan, have all migrated to streaming. They know the shows they make today would never see the light of day on broadcast.
This recent cast search for James Bond has reminded me something I almost forgot from the last time this happened 20 years ago: I just don’t care. I rather wait for the big announcement than speculate over who may get the gig.
@klast00@jamiesont Fair. It is pretty sad to see how broadcast television has fallen in terms of creativity. A consequence of falling viewership and networks unwilling to take the big swings like they used to in the 20th century.
@klast00@jamiesont Network TV has been losing relevancy ever since the turn of the decade. It’s become nothing but a sea of cheap medical dramas, police procedurals, and reality junk.

@NRamsell@bornposting He’s fine for someone who had zero acting experience, but he’s not leading man material. He lacks that X factor. As for Rigg, I’d partially agree with her because I think he’s mostly at his best when sharing scenes with her, probably because he’s at his most comfortable.

Thank you for joining us on this journey and being part James Bond's return to gaming.

@SpyHards The problem with Christmas Jones is that she’s underwritten. She’s only there for two purposes: To provide nuclear exposition and be a backup beauty for after Elektra dies. Richards was given a part that was so thankless not even the best actress could have made it better.
@ShempMeister Problem with some of the R rated attempts like Zack Snyder’s Justice League is how often they feel very try hard. Like “oooo look how dark and edgy I am, having Cyborg say ‘fuck the world’”, which comes off less adult and more childish.
@SlickOG@JustSpringY84@piersmorgan I think Bond should always be set in the present. Those films from the 60s look great in retrospect because they were authentic of their times. Anything trying to replicate the past will inevitably fall short.
