Uhhh, what did I just write...??
HEY! doubleohdad! No possessing me! [-X
;)
What?
His fights in that one film alone are tougher than anything in the Moore or Dalton Era.
wait, I think I'm thinking of Star Trek... :\">
I completely agree on this. Let's get back to plots like the early Bonds doing a job because he's defending his country.
DN-Begins with the disappearance of Strangways.
FRWL-Obvious trap that could result in a Lektor.
GF-Gold smuggling.
TB-Bombs held for ransom.
I really don't want any more grief over past lovers, M in danger, someone else from MI6 who's kidnapped, a former MI6 employee now turned world class villain, anything about Bond's parents or his youth.
Hopefully the "message from the past" in Spectre, does not involve SPECTRE, or Blofeld, killing Bond's parents, as this would be a "retcon" of disastrous consequences.
Yes, definitely.
2-Any reference or hommage to former Bond fims. Seen that in OHMSS, DAD, Skyfall to name a few...Enough is enough. A Bond film must stand on it's own.
3-Marc Forster directing
4-Marc Forster direction
5-Marc Forster directing.
If we're hopeful we'll get a scene like this:
Bond-you killed my father!
Blofeld: No, 007. I AM your father!
;)
=))
Should have saved room for Lee Tamahori.
Edit: Chris was quicker on the draw.
Aww......give the guy a break. He had to rewrite quite a bit of the script with Craig due to the writer's strike. In fact, he was able to create a tense pretitles sequence and a pretty tense TOSCA opera sequence with very limited dialogue in it......something he should be proud of, given the writing fools who should have added script to those bits were on strike.
I'd be open to him coming back, without Alicia Keys & Jack Black, without 2nd unit director from the Bourne films (Dan Bradley - shoot him for all I care, he means nothing to me) & with Kleinman and not MK12..
As for things I never want to see again . . . read the following article:

Also, get rid of the sexism and product placements.
Evil Kirk was pretty maniacal by any standard, great episode.
Was listening to a few Arnold soundtracks earlier and they are pulse racing at times, sorry for fans of Newman. In Skyfall there are many times I wanted the music to go for it full throttle, alas it never happened. No more Newman after this next movie.
Agree that kimono is loud ;)
Weakness for women? A prolific gambler? I didn't finish the rest, since they apparently want to strip Bond of everything that differentiates him from other fictional spies (bear in mind he was based on real life spies that enjoyed the high life and women).
Product placements have always been a part of Bond as well. Fleming usually mentioned specific brands, Bond mentions specific brands in the early films as well "Thats a dom perigon 55 it'd be a pity to break it." "I prefer the 52 myself" (may have gotten the years wrong).
As for sexism I'd agree with you on some accounts. Some of the old movies certainly had a bit, but what examples are you thinking of recently?
I'm tired of this PC nonsense. Bond is not PC. Period.
No offense, ladies.
The crappy Japanese look would work for most visual surveillance of the time, except face to face, of course.
:)
Standard operating procedure: hide in plain sight.
