    Sometimes, I really can't stand Fatima Blush... I mean she's sensational and all but you could see how fake is her theatrical performance as well as the voice... The moment she says "You affect me, James." makes me really cringe.

    TBH she's one of the reasons why I can't see that film as a true Bond-film. I really don't understand what they were thinking. But then again, I don't find her attractive at all. She isn't even a spec in the shadow of Fiona.

    She 'affected' me, I'll tell you right now. Great bod on her.

    She was unquestionably the template for Onatopp in GE. Right down to the sex crazed tendencies.

    "You got a secret, something you can't tell anyone. Because you don't trust anyone"
    That's what a secret is... Was hoping they wouldn't use this line when i saw it in the trailer, but they did...

    It isn't a strange line when you work for a secret service. Of course he has secrets, but this is one he doesn't share with his office (hence: something you won't tell anyone). I thought it made perfect sense.

    It's all a matter of perspective. - SP

    Be careful with that, it's loaded. - SP

    It was either that or the priesthood. - SP

    The line is "Something you won't tell anyone", implying that Bond had no plans to let out this secret.

    @doubleoego, perhaps I need to be briefed on the sheer horridness of the "Of course, Mr. White" line, because I just don't seem to get it.

    Tell me if I'm wrong, but I detect a certain pattern in your selections.

    If those are SP's worst then SP's script is pretty dam' good.

    I can't believe you forgot the most legendary line from this fiasco of a film. I won't mention it here but it's maternal in nature.

    It's interesting from reading the above how many phallic references there are in DAD, especially if you consider the ones referring to 'points' which you didn't mention. It's almost like P & W were going through some kind of obsessive phase or something.

    The only standout lines from SP that really bothered me were "Of course; Mr. White!" and Swann's "What's that?" when the Rolls Royce approaches...what do you mean "What's that?" It's a car. What kind of question is that?

    Nothing will ever beat "Yo momma." from DAD, though.

    Ok, someone needs to explain to me why "Of course, Mr. White" is a bad line.

    It's the overacted eagerness behind him yelling that. What's the point? They both know who Mr. White is, does he need to shout it out?

    Even so, I still think labelling it one of the worst lines in the series is a bit of a stretch.

    I never said it was one of the worst lines in the series, I only brought it up because we were on the discussion of bad lines in SP. The two I mentioned stand out as bad lines to me, but I do agree, they're far from being the worst in the entire series. As previously stated, a large portion of DAD takes that prize.

    Oh, how we've fallen since the promise of CR. Time for another reset it seems.

    I know, but others have which I find unreasonable.

    Why?
    You don't like QOS SF and/or SP?

    I see similarities between Brosnan and Craig's 4.
    No run can be perfect.

    Craig like Brosnan delivered where it is the most important:
    Being successful and making sure we will get Bond movies for a long time into the future.

    I'm referring to 'lines'. If we've come to the point where we're, as fans, going to excuse some of the banal drivel in SP, especially after the lyrical promise of CR, then we've fallen quite far imho.

    The Craig era was meant to be different. Better. For a while, it certainly was.

    It's unfortunate that there appears to be more depth in the exchanges between Cap & Stark & Wayne & Alfred in recent trailers from Marvel & DC respectively then anything in SP.

    As I said, the Craig era, which started with so much promise, was meant to be better than this.

    We're not talking DAD level of cringe certainly, but mediocre at best.

    @bondjames, are you saying the lines of SP are mediocre, or the lines that we've received since CR are mediocre?
  • bondjamesbondjames You were expecting someone else?

    @Creasy47, I am referring specifically to SP because it was lines from that film which were highlighted above.

    Definitely mediocre & I think we should all expect far more from Bond, & that includes 'cuckoo' & other such nonsense, along with all the M/C exchanges.

    Whatever one may say about Dench, & I was one of her harsher critics, she always had meaningful dialogue & delivered it with aplomb. Not sure if that was at her insistence or not.'

    There was nothing in SP that came even close to the Vesper/Bond train discussion, or the Silva monologue for that matter.
