Please stop the fighting. I don't want to take this matter any further...

Give Steven Sonderberg a go at it...or Brian DePalma...two interesting directors that would make a good stab at a Bond film...

I asked earlier - what do you guys think of Stephen Spielberg directing? He's certainly shown he has a flair for directing action and drama ...

Both have a great visual flair...DePalma sets up some absolutely fantastic sequences like the art gallery one in DRESSED TO KILL and the train station shootout in THE UNTOUCHABLES to name but two...

Sonderbergh can seemingly turn his hand to anything...ERIN BROKOVICH, TRAFFIC and the excellent LIMEY are poles apart but still terrific films...

Both would make an interesting go at a Bond flick...but I'd still like to see what David Cronenberg would do with the franchise...

And don't forget Ocean's 11 ... that was one hell of a cool film. Well, not that Bond isn't cool already ...

I haven't been much impressed with Speilberg lately...I think he peaked in the '70s with JAWS and CEOTTK...both SHINDLER'S LIST and SAVING PRIVATE RYAN are excellent BUT stuff like AI and MINORITY REPORT just left me cold...

I'll agree with you about "AI" {it was more Kubrick's movie, really}, but I thought "Minority report" and "Catch me if you can" were both superb.

And yerss? In another thread, you said that you didn't think Spielberg would be interested in a Bond film ... but he has said so himself! He stronly considered making one in the mid seventies, and cast Sean Connery in "Indiana Jones" because of it!

BUT the guy's got talent BUT it seems to be wasted in dead end projects...visually appealing maybe but none of that rousing human slant that made JAWS and CEOTTK so great...

But then again, we are speaking hypothetically in any case ...

on that note, I found the FX in Jurassic Park greatly overblown

For their time, they were revolutionary though ...

I really thought Lee ONCE WERE WARRIORS Tamahori would have dragged the Bond film from the doldrums with DAD but no dice...it seems the *copyright owners* have such a grip on the product that no director is going to get any leeway...they may as well have Bob the Builder directing Bond #21...

Great EFX I thought but a distinct lack of humanity to go with it...
