I didn't read them either at the time due to wanting to avoid any spoilers. It would be interesting to read them now, however.
It seems that everything is leaked these days from high politics to films.
It does seem that way, yes. Unsure how much I want to know about Bond 25 before it's released. Will probably watch the teaser trailer, and take it from there.
Right now, any news is welcome, though…
That's why Purvis and Wade were summoned back. After Bamigboye reported about it, one Sony executive wondered in an email if P&W's agent leaked it.
It's bound to be an inside job in order to precipitate some sort of action. It's the same reason why it's done in high politics too, mind. Someone somewhere hopes to gain out of the inside leak.
I see. Sneaky way of doing things, but guess it's more common than we'd like to know.
@bondjames I thought you hated SF in addition to SP?
It's true that I dislike SP a lot, but it's not even my lowest ranked Bond film. As I said a few pages back, I think an argument can be made (if it was to be Craig's last) that it's the best 'last' Bond film from a long serving actor. I currently have it at 19 or 20.
Regarding SF, it has consistently been in my top 10 since it was released. I think I currently have it at 7 or 8 and it's been as high as 6. So I'm not sure why you have the impression that I dislike it. I agree it has plotholes and what not but it's easily one of the best Bond films to come out of the Barbara Broccoli leadership regime. I actually enjoy viewing it more than I enjoy viewing CR, although I objectively rank the first film higher.
I actually don't mind Mendes either, and wouldn't have a problem if he returned for B25.
This aligns more closely with my take.
I would say:
CR and QOS - good
SP - average
TND and SF - below average
GE and DAD - bad
TWINE - yawn
QoS, GE - good
TND, TWINE - average
DAD, SP - below average
I don’t rewatch either though.
Yeah some top class dialogue in that film - 'Yo momma' 'say hello to gravity'
Can’t agree at all but it seems to be a common opinion - at least preferred over SP. DAD was mostly painful my last watch - far worse than any other EON Bond for my tastes. It’s everything gone wrong pretty much. SP is seriously flawed, but has more good scenes I think.
DAD works perfectly fine as a persiflage, and its pace is good enough to outshine the ridiculous storyline (which means it has terrific pacing), whereas SF and SP just drag endlessly.
Just speak for yourself. I for myself would take it any day of the week over SF and Spectre.
At least it was the last time we saw James Bond flirting convincingly.
Simple. It is just much more intelligently written than SF. Which says a lot about Skyfall.
