Told you.
That he was in Goldeneye.
Yes, exactly.
No not at all, I thought you had.
Where?
Here's my original comment.
Don't deny it.
Great thanks for the photos! They're cool.
?
I don't get ya. What's funny about discussing Waltz in a drama about Ian Fleming ...
What? You got a problem or something?
And throws it to What.
Go here. Go to 2017 results. Click on conference calls. When there's one labeled "Q4 2017 conference call" the recording will be available for listening. It will happen the day MGM reports fourth-quarter results. The recording goes on the website sometime after the call takes place.

Petulant rant? Nah. I think whatever my displeasure with EoN and criticisms of the current state of things RE: Bond is valid. Most businesses dont aim to do their jobs or whatever they're tasked to do in an inferior way; but it happens. EoN are OGs in the industry and given their years of experience I'm not happy nor impressed with what they've been doing. I feel they're falling short and at the very basic level too. They need to do better.
2 films ago was more than half a decade ago. My daughter was born that year and now she's doing gymnastics and horseback riding. A lot has changed since then and when tge media isnt making their obtuse pronouncements about casting a new Bond, Bond just feels like an after thought only carried by the weight of his past, hence the terrible and failed attempts at call backs to a by gone era. This is less absence makes the heart grow fonder and more out of sight out of mind.
The 2 biggest problems for me is the writing and the mismanagement of duties from the producers. They've been slacking and that's what I'm aware of; and they need to stop that mess and start coming correct with a firmer grip on their situation.
That would be fantastic and IF they do, hopefully they can maintain a level of consistency instead of their tired routine of moving forward and then backsliding, rinse and repeat. We all hope for the best but we'll see.
My hope is EON can get either Denis Villeneuve or Martin Campbell (again) and pair them with a strong writer with a unique vision, like Alex Garland.
Keep an eye on Comcast (owner of Universal). They are hungry for an acquisition and either they or Sony could make a play for MGM, although it may be a year or so out.
It's the business uncertainty that has probably resulted in this unnecessary time wasting and reliance on status quo.
Hodge suggests something is afoot and I'm hopeful.
In terms of B25:
Just to chime in:
Akin to how later DVD editions of the Spielberg classic: RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK
re-title the film, INDIANA JONES AND THE RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, the 1989 Charles Dance Fleming film upon original airings WAS simply called GOLDENEYE.
The subtitle: THE SECRET LIFE OF IAN FLEMING was added much later.
In fact, the Jason Connery Fleming bio pic, upon original airings WAS called: THE SECRET LIFE OF IAN FLEMING on the TNT station here in the States. The SPYMAKER title was added for the VHS release.
Anyway it's cool to know Christoph Waltz was in GOLDENEYE. That's one I need to replace my copy of. The U.S. television airing of that film was hosted by George Lazenby. Pity none of that footage is on Youtube.
As for B25, this may be a completely tasteless metaphor, but it feels like a situation when one has a well beloved pet that is terminally ill. You delay taking them to the vet because you know they'll be put down then and it hurts too much to face the inevitable.
I feel that is what is going on with B25 and the Craig era.
Please stick to Bond 25 on this thread.
