WRITING'S ON THE WALL

Behind the scenes, I'm busily assembling a big blow-out of James Bond goodness, but in the meantime, if you just can't wait to hear my thoughts on Spectre, my preliminary review of it has been published at the Film Experience.

    Two Questions,

    1. What do the scores of TFE represent based on your /10 reviews? You use there system there and I can't tell how a film measures up with other films on your blog.

    2. Will Spectre, Madeline Swann, Writings On The Wall, "Franz Oberhauser" and a new score representing Craig's 4th outing appear in the Bond Rankings list?

    Looking forward to it. Also Bridge of Spies and Crimson Peak are super good! So is Brooklyn!

    There's not an exact 1-to-1 correspondence between grades and numbers, but if I were rating Spectre here, it would be a 7/10.

    And yeah, all of those things will show up on the rankings, of course! I am nothing if not obsessive. But it's going to remain a surprise till the full article shows up here.

    Meanwhile, I need so bad to figure out when I can see Bridge of Spies, and life keeps getting in the way. Crimson Peak is probably going to end up waiting for DVD at this point. And Brooklyn isn't out in Madison yet.

    Crimson Peak was awesome, well worth seeing in the theatres. Brooklyn also great. So...let that tide you over ;)

    Personally, I'm waiting anxiously for Spotlight.

    Tim, I'm greatly anticipating your review of Brooklyn, as I haven't been this utterly mystified by a film's acclaim in ages. I saw a film that failed to use any formal aspect of cinema - particularly the visuals - for the service of storytelling, character building, establishing a sense of place, anything; quite different from the film I've been reading about from the 99% of critics who gave it a "Fresh" rating.

Just a few rules so that everybody can have fun: ad hominem attacks on the blogger are fair; ad hominem attacks on other commenters will be deleted. And I will absolutely not stand for anything that is, in my judgment, demeaning, insulting or hateful to any gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion. And though I won't insist on keeping politics out, let's think long and hard before we say anything particularly inflammatory.

Also, sorry about the whole "must be a registered user" thing, but I do deeply hate to get spam, and I refuse to take on the totalitarian mantle of moderating comments, and I am much too lazy to try to migrate over to a better comments system than the one that comes pre-loaded with Blogger.
