Agreed. The problem for Dalts & Brozz was that Moore set the bar so high for delivering these groaners. These two just couldnt' do it to the same level, and they shouldn't have been asked to.
Since Moore, the best at this sort of thing have actually been 'in their prime' Arnie (Commando, Running Man, Predator, Total Recall) and Bruce (Die Hard & Die Hard 2) imho, not any Bond actor.
....i second that! :)
Renard's delivery:
"Take his i.d., and do be on time." :))
Elektra's delivery from the same film:
"What do you think? I wouldn't feel anything?"
Horrendous.
"What's wrong with you? Are you crazy?"
I am starting to feel the same way about Marceau @BAIN123. She's still miles better than anyone else in that film, but I think she is overpraised as well.
"How dare you? That animal. That monster? He disgusts me. You disgust me. So he knew where to hurt you, is that it?"
Abysmal..
"Look at that...that's not right!"
I don't know whether she's MEANT to be unconvincing as she's obviously playing the hapless victim.
"How dare you? That animal. That monster? He disgusts me. You disgust me. So he knew where to hurt you, is that it?"
Regarding THAT confrontation scene in TWINE. The writing itself is pretty appalling. Just try reading that line @bondjames back to yourself normally. It doesn't sound right.
It's a corny line but I actually like the way she delivers this one (in a campy OTT way).
Agree on the writing in the confrontation scene @BAIN123. You know that's a low point in the entire franchise for me for many reasons. Poor writing and piss poor acting all round.
I'm sure Brozza must have felt a slight stiffness coming on when she sat on him in the torture chair. Now that would have been a good one liner. 'Are you feeling comfortable Mr Bond?' haha
Silva has Austin Powers quality in some of his acting and dialogue.
"I had to ventilate someone".
What does that even mean??
Just watched a bit of that scene yesterday and it actually reminded me a lot of the TWINE torture scene for some reason.
Bardem actually played that scene like Marceau played her Bond torture scene. Totally OTT camp.
Yes, the word I was looking for, camp.
While in TWINE that doesn't bother me really, because those movies didn't take themselves too seriously, in SF this is too high a contrast to the near perfect first 70 minutes of the movie.
And of course "Yo mama" is an epic groaner too. Brosnan's "now there's a name to die for"- epic cringer. LOL
Incorrect explanation. Lesson: don't try to explain bond jokes without remembering the context of the joke.
I remember that line well. It's just after she shoots the vent in the kitchen at Seveneya and thinks she's killed Natalya. In the audio commentary Martin Campbell says the line fell flat during test screenings.
A fairly crap line but not excruciating.
"When this mission is over, I will kill you"
It is supposed to be a dramatic moment, but I can't help laughing. As if that helpless damsel, who has been no more than a blind passenger through out the film, would be any threat to Bond! :))
(The only way would be if she caught him unarmed with a gun after he has risked everything to save her life. Oh... well...)
:-S
Cringe
Yep.
Are you being deliberately obtuse? No one said she was using a different definition of alive. Can you not comprehend someone saying 'what keeps you alive?' without it referreing to the basic essentials of life?
I like zorin's reaction. He's like yeah, what the hell go for it. Gives an insight into his character
Moore massaging Fiona Fullerton in a Jacuzzi.
Also, the way Moore says it sounds so sleazy.
"I was wrong about you."
"Yeah? How so?"
"I thought Christmas only cums once a year."
What the hell were they thinking?
Awful. Line and delivery imho. TWINE does have some stinkers.
I think that line was meant to be bad. The goon gives a "What??" look to Bond.
