Now THAT is rich. Just goes to show how utterly lazy and incompetent "journalism" is these days.
And just when I was about to get excited sigh
If they cut down on the CGI and sawed that budget in half, or at least cut a good $100 million off what they've spent lately, it really would be a win/win for them.
Considering he admitted it was something he did for fun, it won't.
Well like they say you never know
Well...we do, though. It's a fact that we aren't getting the Bond 25 press conference in eight days.
Who said it was the press conference I'm just talking about the director and the distributor press release
My bad, thought it was initially for the press conference. Even still, don't see the title coming then, either. Will likely be saved for the press conference, though could be leaked beforehand like it was for the last two.
Would the entire Craig era be as smashed as hard as it's getting smashed at the moment, if, say, the last film was more to the collective liking?
Because when we look at the entire era, we know that a lot of the hold ups were out of EoN's hands. In the end though, I think we have three, fairly strong outings, out of four.
The only "first" four films that better these ones, IMHO, is DN, FRWL, GF, TB.
I'd take Craig's first four over LALD, TMWTGG, TSWLM, MR, and also over GE, TND, TWINE and DAD.
(and that's not to say I don't like those other films-- I do, some I even love-- but if I had to take the first 4 films of each actor (who did 4 or more, obviously): Connery's (legendary); then Craig's (very solid output in a crowded and competitive environment), Moore's, Brosnan).
Is the era overall getting smashed? I don't see that here. Perhaps I'm misreading the mood.
I think there are some of us who want a film sooner. There are also others (and I count myself among those) who think this era has run its course, and are looking forward with interest to the next one. Just as I would have been looking forward to the next one in December 1970 (prior to DAF), in December 1984 (prior to AVTAK) and as I was in December 2002 (after DAD). So ultimately I think it's time for a change of approach. That's my view.
However, if SP was better received, generally, I'm wondering if this would still be the case? Of course we would have those impatient for the next one, but, if I was a stranger to this site-- and Bond in general-- reading this thread (especially recently) would make me believe we were in the death throes of this series.
Yes, if the last film were generally better received, I think there would be a bit more optimism here. After all, that was the case prior to SP's release. It's a bit of a moot discussion though, because SF ended on what seemed like a new beginning, whereas SP ended (either deliberately or unintentionally) on what seemed like an ending (at least for me).
Even if the last film was a runaway success among more members, I don't think it would be all hunky dory here, because of the longer wait, because of 'wrist slash' which affected some of us (joke or no joke, the unfettered media it received without any correction, retraction or clarification by EON for over a year was a big mistake imho), and because it's been a very long run for one actor (as per my example previously about how I would have felt at other ending stages of long standing actor runs).
No doubt the mood would be better though. Having said that, I think the mood would have been much better around here if they'd just got on with it and delivered B25 in 2017 too. So it's not entirely because SP was not liked by all, but also because they have delayed the followup for too long after a polarizing last entry. That was another mistake imho.
Unless he's Nick Cage and blown all his cash-- I just have to disagree with this, my friend.
To be fair, Craig confirmed that himself in an interview.
"If I did another Bond movie, it would only be for the money."
It's the same thing in the workplace. If you get an offer from somewhere else and accept it then you'd better follow through even if your current employer counter offers. If you take the counter offer, credibility is lost.
