Not as much as I used to be. Every year since like 2004 I would always watch a Bond marathon every year but as years went on it felt more of a chore rather than a pleasure. So I don't do those anymore
That's a shame. I never hope I see the day that a Bond marathon is a chore.
Jesus no lol
Agreed. For me it's the last 28 years though that are less interesting. I'd always prefer to watch something 1989 or earlier than anything after.
The Craig era has been an improvement but that's all. Not the golden age it's made out to be.
1. Craig returns
2 Mendes returns
3. B25 picks up where SP left off with continuation riffing on Fleming's Castle of Death
#1 is iron-cast lock. Not a whiff of doubt.
2&3 remain very much in play.
I'll keep the full parlay. Even double down.
Looking forward to the awards!
I seem to recall this.
I'm calling for Mendes if it's Craig (don't think we'll see Craig if Mendes is not back but one never knows). Continuation story only with Mendes (nobody else will want to bother).
My sentiments exactly. In the last 20 odd years, the stand out star player Bond films for me have been GE and CR. That's says a lot.
The shots of The Bahamas, the freerun sequence, individual shots like inside the restaurant when Bond and Vesper are having dinner, the use of colour and lighting throughout the film. All to me are superb.
I think TND is also excellent in this respect. That is one of the films of the past 20 years where I can definitely see the money up on the screen. I'm just not much of a fan of the finished product despite this. DAD has some wonderful sequences in it as well (the fencing fight, the Cuban sequence even if it wasn't really Cuba and of course the Aston chase) but it's also let down by the infamous CGI rubbish in places.
Easily.
That will make it the 40th Anniversary of me being a Bond fan then so as that is my first Bond film and on the big screen as well.
Would be nice if they do some Cinema presentations of that here in the UK and maybe in other countries, would make a nice way to celebrate my own Anniversary as well as SWLM.
Must agree SWLM is top 5 for me, this is my Goldfinger, much prefer it and this for me is the pinnacle of the big scheme, big battle Bonds.
Pity there was potential for SPECTRE to have something ala YOLT, OHMSS, SWLM style big battle ending, would have really paid tribute properly to the return of Blofeld instead of all the cheap nods they used instead.
Can't say I ever bought the Nolan rumour, still think the other director hinted at previously is more likely.
Though a Nolan Bond film certainly wouldn't be boycott, just seen the new Dunkirk trailer, after 2 underwhelming films that fell short of his usual brilliance Nolan is back with a bang, epic doesn't cut it, he'll own the summer with that film If there is any justice.
If there are big screen presentations of TSWLM in the UK this year I may just come over for a showing - that's how much of a fan I am.
Should be the movie of the year. I am serious, in an entertainment event sense.
I'm counting the days!
Eon might want to consider the director ( if Mendes bails for some reason) scriptwriter, and a couple of the lead girls for B25.
Hell, looking forward, Zac Efron could play Bond and The Rock could play a henchman!
Yeah Dunkirk looks good
with all due respect, and I think you're quite an astute and articulate poster, but this is sanctimonious BS.
surely the lifeblood of a fan forum is a diverse array of hopes and opinions. even on the hallowed "production diary" thread.
That's your right. I just have a mental disconnect when it comes to believing book bets as definitive Bond casting rumors and all the rest. It's much more gratifying to get excited about the stuff that has actual truth to it, beyond the tabloid rags' attempts at meeting their bottom lines.
It's why I said I was happy at the very least that people were getting excited about the Syncopy news rather than the obviously false rumors that've peddled in steadily over time. The former is at least something that could be taken to having some reality or truth to it. I still hold that it's important to wait out the official announcements on all things. The news I want to hear is Dan coming back for one more, but even when/if it's reported I will wait until EON give us the final word to truly jump up and down. That's the only sticking point I have on this whole issue: not necessarily peoples' opinions, but what they choose to consume, believe and regurgitate as truth, ultimately getting their hopes up for something that isn't sure-fire.
That's why I know for a fact that a lot of people will be angry/upset if Nolan isn't announced as Bond 25's director, off the back of this IMDb "story." If the true director announced is anything less than him, they're immediately cooked in comparison to Nolan and projected to fail, despite the possibly that Nolan may have never been an actual prospect in the first place. I just see people falling into what could be easily laid traps, that's all.
Not really sure what to make of it. Does anyone subscribe to the Ankler?
The discussion starts around the 7 minute mark, prior to that it's WGA strike talk which segways into more general Bond talk, and then the Syncopy IMDB listing.
"Given the Nolan stuff that was in the news, there's speculation about Tom Hardy. And I was actually reading the Ankler newsletter [...] which links to IndieWire story where Anne Thompson is talking about whether Tom Hardy would do it, and he [Richard Rushfield] says that he hears that the rumour about Tom Hardy playing James Bond is actually more than a rumour. That's it's a done deal. And I wouldn't put it past CAA to have struck that deal. [...] I do think that there could be some sort of side deal, or whisper deal for Tom Hardy where Daniel Craig is our Bond as long as he wants to be, but once he is not you're the guy."
This same guy predicted that Dev Patel would be the new Spider-Man. He also stated with a high amount of confidence that Marvel were trying to get a non-white actor for the role. Tom Holland looks v white to me.
Same guy also said Brosnan was in talks for Deadpool 2. That also didn't happen.
What the hell is the Ankler anyway? I'm sorry, but this isn't a thing.
But they're right, Hardy is the only option.
