Oh how I wish that came true.
It will be next my friend, don't worry. Unless it's GE...
I think the main reason I rate TLD so highly is Dalton is a great Bond.
I hope SF is next, pretentious attempt at being relevant.
Mendes should stick to plastic bags blowing around in the breeze.
And how can TLD be overrated, when we (fans of the film / the Dalton era) are constantly told that it is considered as one of the "lesser" Bonds? It isn't possible for TLD to be overrated, because it has never been highly rated (especially in comparison to other Bond films) to begin with. SF, on the other hand, with all of the love it gets showered with (as well as it's box office, and reviews), is a perfect example of an overrated Bond film.
You should see him on a weekend with a bottle of scotch out on the rec.
On weekends he answers to the name of Wino Mendes. No martinti's for Wino. it's an under the counter, 2 ltr bottle of White Lightening. "Shaking, not slurred."
You can see the high regard fans have for TLD by it's lofty position on the list. Especially from aficionado's of Fleming.
It was the best Bond film since the sixties when it was released and it was a shock having an actor actually play the character instead of (all respect to Moore) just drifting along playing themselves.
More or less gone were the silly jokes and innuendo, and we got a great Fleming-esque cold war adventure that made James Bond flesh and blood again.
...and there's the title of Bond 25 right there.
;)
While I got to see both Dalton films on the big screen last year, that experience doesn't compare to seeing them on release, and because of that, I am envious.
I think the best we can hop for is a #5 to #10 placing for TLD. Natuarally, I would be even more happy for a top 5 placing, but I can't see that happening. Then again, I was surprised that TB went out when it did. I would have put money on a top 5 placing for TB.
I am happy that some people get it at least.
Spot-on! Couldn't have said it better myself.
I think TLD has aged well. Strangely enough much better than GE even though TLD was made 8 years before.
People often talk about the Kara cheese. Do the same people talk about the Tracy or the Vesper cheese? Sorry but no moment in TLD gets as cheesy as the love montage in OHMSS which is also coming out of nowhere. Compared to that the romance between Bond and Kara at least has some believable development.
But I must agree that Kara really is annoying and a bit too naive and stupid in some scenes.
Fair point too. I should have perhaps said "having Osama's mates openly as allies"
