Stuff I’ve Read, Watched, Done – April 5, 2022

It’s been a couple of weeks and Star Trek Picard has now transformed itself into the peak of science fiction storytelling, putting all previous iterations of the franchise to shame.

That’s Just Crazy Talk: Skyfall

When I was watching Skyfall recently (in London, of all places, where the film was preceded by mountains of commercials and trailers that put in even Australian cinemas to shame, including a little promotional for Skyfall itself), an idea set in my mind, an idea I just couldn’t shake.

Looking over “Skyfall”

Skyfall, also known as “Bond 23” (or perhaps “Bond 24”, “Bond 25”, or even “Bond 26” depending on how many of the “unofficial” films one counts) is an interesting installment in the franchise.  It starts off with a pretty hard hitting opening, moves into a familiar but enjoyable middle, and then ends with a final act that is pretty unique, at least for a Bond movie.
