No. He says 'shit!' - why on earth would he say 'cute'? Listen harder next time you watch it.
I remember Mendes being interviewed on a documentary about A Clockwork Orange, I assume he's an admirer of Kubrick's work.
You guys seem to be right, according to the interwebs. Pity, thought 'cute' a far better line. As in 'cute' when someone does something you don't like but hadn't thought of/seen coming.
I've caught this anticipation in Bond movies a good bit lately, such as with Bond's "Chair." comment on the train in GE. You can tell he's ready to spit the word out before Natalya's riddle recital is even over.
He's ready to say it because he's worked out the answer before she gets to the end. After all it's not really a hard riddle, is it?
Oh I definitely must see that documentary. I always thought American Beauty (which I didn't like) was a watered down, poor man's Lolita. But the influence of Kubrick is far more obvious in Mendes' Bond movies.
Interesting that this came up.
In the theater and in my digital download, it is clear he says "Sh*t!"
But on the DVD I have, which I play in my office (because I only have a DVD player in there), he seems to say "Shoot!" I swear, it does indeed sound different. I didn't hear "Cute" but I most definitely did NOT hear "Sh*t!"
He actually shouts 'bozha moi' which translates as 'my god'.
Really? I thought I could hear some mention of "Roger Moore" in this clip around 2:41. But, IDK. I'm just repeating my favorite (and occasionally mistaken) Bond reviewer Calvin Dyson.
this is one of those never ending arguments I think.I heard shoot when I saw it in theatres, but it feels like it must be shit.
Yeah only ever heard that word - different US/UK cuts?
Yes. There are many examples. An obvious one: Bond's drive through Scotland in SF has The Shining written all over it.
Do they really have different cuts (I mean in script not stuff like the shark attack in LTK or the CR torture) in the US and UK? If so why did we have 'time for a station break' inflicted on us?
