Odd Job

Beacons location film bites dust

Continuing the Broke Bond story, er, I mean the Budget Cut story from last week this item from the BBC seems to add credence to the earlier story. It appears Team EON once again were flirting with local leaders to get favors and permission granted only to walk away at the last moment. This has happening often enough in Spyfall to raise more than few questions about the production.     A movie production firm has pulled out…

Craig Embarrassed By Tintin Outfit

  In a meandering Esquire interview, which often got lost it the authors own thoughts, Daniel Craig who apparently was the subject of the interview eventually offered some frank, albeit profanity laced assessments. Among them was his dislike of motion capture work. Here is where we rip him right? Not exactly. It seems pretty reasonable…
