The difference is that in those movies the villains didn't return. Le Chiffre from Casino Royale did not return to Quantum Of Solace. Now we have Ernst Stavro Blofeld alive and a SPECTRE organization still not dismantled, so like I say the current situation is different.
Christoph Waltz is an excellent actor, his problem in SPECTRE was the script and partly for the direction of Sam Mendes.
I disagree. Why do you think that?
I'm quite happy with that, actually.
@Pierce2Daniel : let me be clear: One: I have no power to wield. I don’t know where you’re getting that from. I write make believe stories and hope my manager either sells it for an option or I get a writing gig out of it (what a romantic life!).
Two: we need to take this off the thread and chat more to resolve these issues. You can PM or EM me.
Three: just ignore me.
Malek ... I still hope, really hope, he is not in Bond 25. If he is, I'll won't let it get to me as I do trust this director and we should have a good script.
Seriously now, 3 new pages and not a single new information. AWESOME! So exciting.
Carry on.
Wishful thinking. Eon bought the Spectre rights for a reason.
Very true.
Have a board meeting ala TB. If Malek is in B25, then I hope he's a Spectre operative.
Door. Arse. You know the rest.
Thank you for kind words!

This re-invented the Bond theme and is always welcome for any future movies, especially for Bond 25 and beyond.
But I don't see why you can't have dual antagonists or even an attempted coup within Spectre from Mr. Teal or Mr. Burgundy or whoever is next on the colour wheel.
If not tonight, surely something in the next 2-3 weeks?
You mean Ron Burgundy?
Also, look at SF.....that movie hasn't aged well by way of retaining its fan status in the contrary way QoS increased its own. It's completely cut off, one-off and felt like it flipped off the potential of what could have been a modern thriller. Instead it was a remake of Home Alone with CGI, gadgets, and hacking to be used as a lazy plot advancement device while going back to the old series timeline associated with the films up to DAD, which is a movie that even the writers distanced themselves from at a Q&A once.
I'm personally not asking for a different Blofeld actor, I just don't want Blofeld in the film at all. As it's Craig's last film, I don't want it to be wasted on trying to pull off a good sequel, I just want a good stand-alone Bond film. Also, I'm aware Madeleine Swann is returning, but we don't how or why at this point so it's hard to say where they're going for that.
As for your Skyfall comments, I'd have to disagree. A fair opinion of course, but I don't think it was just a Home Alone remake with CGI, gadgets and hacking. If anything it's well-done remake of TMWTGG. A lot more similarities. Anyway, In my own opinion, it was a well-written film with nice nods and touches of Bond without being too in your face. It perfectly encompassed the theme they were trying to convey and allowed each of its actors to give subtle yet great performances, unlike Spectre. I also think it was a modern thriller (especially the whole sequence at Skyfall), just created from a Bondian perspective and just because Home Alone did it in a small section of the film, it means no other film can have a boobytrapped house? Even if it makes sense given that they had no weapons or armed forces to help them? Again everyones entitled to their opinion, mine just differs :)
The so called SF turnaround is fan based and I think somewhat inflated because those that dislike it wallow in it and some cases labour the point over and over again like a broken record, please don't join that crowd.
I don't imagine if a poll was taken you'd find it as much as fallen in the rankings as it's detractors make out.
Whereas out in the big world, I think it will remain the defining film of the DC era, fans will and rightly so it's CR but Joe public will side with SF, it's Dan's Goldfinger and unless Bond 25 does something truly remarkable I don't see that changing, it was a phenomenon.
And don't worry @DonnyDB5 , I'm sure we'll get something soon. Although if not, you've got the 1st March to look forward to :)
Waltz can not play a different guy in Bond 25. The character was established already, all he can do is play him more or less the same as he did in SP. He can be more angry and have new villainous ideas, but he can't become someone else entirely.
I'm sorry, but a guy with a facial scar stroking a cat in a Mao suit, trying to control the world, does not work in the 21st century. It's a caricature. Not to mention the foster brother thing.
What’s on the 1st of March??
