Bernard Lee is JLM's grandfather, not Robert Brown.

So, she was sorta right.

All those M's look the same.

I didn't know this until I watched her watch it, Robert Brown, who replaced Bernard Lee as M for the next four Bond movies, is grandfather of Johnny Lee Miller, who played Sherlock Holmes in Elementary.

I think I remember the M connection being remarked upon when Trainspotting came out and contained this scene:

I LOVE knowing that!

Do you do PM Private Readings???

Say, “Yes”!!!

LOL! Yes. I'm willing.

Ugh, I hope not. He was okay as Quicksilver and he was the weakest link in Tenet, Bullet Train, Nosferatu, and 28 Years Later. All of those are excellent films with terrific casts (yes, including Tenet) but I always find him forgettable. I really don't see the appeal of him.

I thought he was one of the best things about Bullet Train tbh, and he has a bit of a thankless task in 28 Years Later. As for Tenet, well frankly only Pattinson comes out of that film looking good...

Raise your hands if hearing parts of OHMSS brings you right back to the The Incredibles teaser trailer.

My only real problem with Tenet is related to the plot, I didn't find anything wrong with his participation...

The music, definitely!

Thinking of Nolan, I think Christian Bale could have been really good as an '00s or maybe also '10s James Bond, especially for reboot (though him also being rebooted Batman could be a bit much unless Bond reboot had instead started in '10s), it was really surprising and disappointing to learn that he really disliked the character/films.

I didn’t know that. I thought I read somewhere that he was hesitant about the role of Batman because, being a Brit, he hoped to play Bond and knew that it wouldn’t be possible to play both, thus if he accepted the Batman role, he’d be excluding himself as 007.

For them what don't know it.

"Awkward" Ashleigh Burton?

"Awkward" Ashleigh Burton?

Yeah. She's good in small doses.
