Daniel had his fame because he is a great Bond. Since when does the Bondactor gets fame because of just 5 seconds? The GB is of course a nice thing, but I've seen much more irritating stuff from 1997-2002. Or sometimes I didn't, like that Vanquish.
They're teasing us.
It's like:
"Do the baby want some candy?"
Fans (Us): "Yes, yes, OH GOD YES!!!"
"Well, you can't. Sorry"
Ive not repeated that exact same post. I am still talking about the gb, this is a gb thread. what else do you expect me to tal about on a gb thread . lol. Sno now after learning not to double post, i am not been told not to keep talking about the same thing. So many rules on this forum, its rediculas.
Thanks JamesCraig for that. ! So I have to try come up with something new in the Gun Barrel Thread. Hmmmm, this will be a bit tough. And by the way @Disco, talking about daniel craig not having an opening gun barrel is not realy the same as my other posts. Its about the gb yes, but its a GB thread isnt it. Some of these rules are realy daft. Come on!!!
I WILL STOP TALKING ABOUT THE GUN BARREL NOW, BECAUSE APPARENTLY ITS NOT IN THE RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like you say here already, no point going on.
But still you don't seem to learn to live with it..
Do I need to continue? Take the discussion further, if not, we've heard your opinion a hundred times already.
Spoken like somebody who hasn't seen Rambo.
Exactly. It's the same for every Bond, even Bonds that are closer to the books like Craig or Dalton (look at the TLD airbase battle or the parkour chase/embassy scene in CR).
I'm not a mod nor I'm pretending to be, but you have been "warned" two times. We know what you think about it, fine. But there are people with different opinions: read: who actually don't care all that much.
Kind of hypocritical when you've posted how you don't care tons of times too.
The Casino Royale one was part of the pre titles, but I'm sure they had it done multiple times.
The Quantum one we know he was over-concious about due to his fast pace, and I'd say the positioning in the film.
I'm sure it's the same with Skyfall. It's what he's most worried about, because it's such a big deal. It has to be similar to a standard, but unique in his own way. The fact that they've done three different ones for his three films points to him being the reason it's shoved in at the back.
He doesn't like it.
Disagree with this inference.
Daniel Craig leaped into the role and embraced it all. His mantra has always been do his best, do the job, and let the critics be damned.
I don't know why this would be any different with the gunbarrel.
Your right, he doesn't give a damn what other people think, but if he doesn't like his performance, he does it again.. and again until he feels he did it right.
Maybe the GB is just something he feels like he can't get right. And in that respect, I don't mind it being at the end.
But again, I'm just thinking outside of the box, trying to provide a reason for it not opening the films.
I think it was sped up to match the music.
If you look at that, it's much more "natural" at that speed. Needless to say it looks great to see craig in a "classic" gunbarrel ;)
Nothing wrong with the above gb, imho...
Also, just to add a little more to the mix and expand on the subject rather than repeating the same posts time and time again, we know Daniel Craig was worried about the GB in QoS, so I think Daniel (maybe more than Mendes) has had an influence on where this is inserted and has opted for a repeat of tagging it on the end where most people will be getting up out of their seats to leave the cinema and will miss it, or at least obscure it with their backs. This is what he said about his GB on QoS...
Daniel Craig described filming the sequence as "probably the scariest bit [of working on Quantum of Solace]. We did it twice. We did it once and it didn't work, so we did it again. I just thought, it has to be right and it has to be aggressive and it has to work."
Aren't you being a little bit childish? Relax!
Hypocritical JamesCraig says: it's only a movie.
Ah, did i mention that i am not happy with the GB... HAAAAA, lol. sorry.
I think the biggest issue was spoiling something for many people. You may think everyone knows about a part of a film, but many don't. It's understandable, and I know it can feel like your being 'attacked' at times, but you have to keep in mind there are people on these forums that don't want to know a single thing about Skyfall before they go in.
I know they shouldn't check this thread if they don't want to risk it, but the Mods have tried very hard to use Spoiler tags for things, so that others can still discuss what they think will happen while we can discuss what we know with Spoiler tags.
Now the thread is labeled 'Spoilers' so there's no issue, but before it was just to discuss what people thought the Skyfall gun barrel would be like, etc.
Just be mindful in discussions that many people might not know as much as you. If you think it may be a spoiler, tag it just in case. It takes two clicks.
Nobody wants to kick anybody away that is actively and intellectually involved in the discussion, but people get upset when things are spoiled for them.
It's easy to play it safe.
