Completely agree with you. Like you say, words like legendary and genius are tossed around at the drop of a hat and genius is a rare thing.
Well for the moment we have inferior scripts that are an insult to Fleming, haven't we ? Did you feel NSNA was an insult to TB ? "Remakes" allow much room for creativity, actually...
With the poster I felt it is a stroke of genius compared with the dull, boring, awful stuff we got dished for Skyfall.
But I'll make better use of those terms in the future. Noted.
@redwinewithfish beautiful.
And no period pieces either. What is it with people living in the past? EoN should do what they've been doing, Bond being contemporary and pushing forward as the character was originally intended (sticking to Fleming is an attribute so many Bond fans keep harping on about).
Yes.
EON should this, EON should that. People tend to forget that a LOT of cinema-go-ers upcoming November aren't even Bond fans. They probably can't watch the 1960's films, because they are 'too slow'. And they probably think: "WOW!! What kind of suit is THAT. I never saw that before! Me like!"
Agreed. Or a special three part film arc in the original timeline. My preference in this case would be for Nolan to do it.
I don't even understand what point you're trying to make, it's just waffle. Have a pint or something.
:D Looks great!
If you have one as well.
I don't have a problem with re adapting poorly done Fleming Material. Like for example, if EON made Moonraker based exactly on the novel I'm fine with that, but it just can't be called Moonraker since it's been used. And yes I do think NSNA was an insult to Thunderball and EON. It's a terrible film and a very very poor remake of Thunderball. Shouldn't have even been made.
NSNA is indeed an abomination but then again I never understand why Thunderball gets such a bad rap.
I like this version more. Craig's got a good cheeky smile and Lea looks very seductive. One thing I really wished it would have is a silhouette of Oberhauser in the background, but it is what it is.
One thing I love about the pose for Lea is how similar it is to Sophie Marceau's appearance in the poster for The World Is Not Enough. It brings questions to her role and allegiance in Spectre. Daniela Bianchi and Sophie are two of my favorite Bond girls, perhaps even my top two, so the fact that Lea is channeling both of them in some way is so appealing.
Everyone is keen to point out the Samedi resemblance, but without acknowledging that it's in honour of Dia de Los Muertos.
It's not Samedi.
Like I said before, the "SPECTRE" is lurking from behind both Bond and Swann's back. I think "SPECTRE" could become the most mysterious and detective-esque Bond film of the Craig-era.
Well, at least for this one there is an image in the background but still, disappointing. They also have the same or at least an incredibly similar font for every Craig Bond film. I miss the varied more unique font styles they used to use for each new film.
