It will be missing a classic Barry score, though. B-)
Yes, and nearby cities. But just establishing shots ;)
@marketto007 are you able to indicate or show any kind of sign if you have been invited to the set?
Split Crotia is sort of nearby.....
I haven't, yet. Not sure if it's going to happen this time around with Universal. Anyway, I'll let you know if I'll be part of the International Press again, like I did for SPECTRE.
Paging Dr Cropes, Dr Cropes to reception.
Now I really getting Thunderball vibes
Someone I know is there...
Good rant, though ;)
Let's send the discussion over to the Bond women thread.
And @007Blofeld, feel free to reply over there. I can't be bothered to post it again haha :D
Ok yeah I started things up over there I'm kind of annoyed seeing it brought up again for it or against it or whatever I can't stand all this negativity towards Bond I want films that everyone will enjoy good comments I just want Bond to be praised by everyone again @Denbigh
1) Consider the 57 years of Bond films we've got.
2) Stay away from Twitter, Facebook and self-indulgent blogs. Smart people prefer to think for themselves.
3) Consider the 57 years of Bond films we've got.
4) Don't let others poison your mind. Don't start worrying about things you might dislike before the new film has even been released.
5) Consider the 57 years of Bond films we've got.
I play by all of these rules, especially 2). I'm a happy, proud and positive Bond fan who's really looking forward to the next movie.
Hear, hear. Good post, @DarthDimi.
Lot of noise out there. I'm trying to stay positive though.
Nope.
There was a live opera performance of Cavalleria Rusticana in the streets of Matera tonight. These people are not extras, but attendants at the opera. Filming does not begin till mid-August. This is a false alarm.
Seriously, the ungratefulness with which some here continue to approach EON, disgruntled as they are over the fact that EON refuses to satisfy their petty little needs, makes me realize there's a true Bond fan and then there's the byproduct of our consumer society, masquerading as a Bond fan.
There's a lovely BluRay box sitting a few feet from me, containing over half a century of James Bond magic. Like a kid in a candy store, I can choose something else every day if I want to, for nearly a whole month! I can live and relive the glorious sixties, the experimental seventies, the interesting eighties, the explosive nineties and the new era Bonds as often as I want. How, in one's right mind, can one complain?
And then you hear the following nonsense, every . single . day! "I want a poster!" "I want a trailer!" "Not even a title?" "Fire Barbara Broccoli 'cause what does she know?" "We want Poldark for Bond!" "The PC people have taken over Bond!" "So, who should be Bond for Bond 26?" ... What is wrong with these people? If anything, they're no genuine Bond fans.
A genuine Bond fan looks back on what we have with pride and looks forward to what we will be getting next, when it's ready. The Bond zombies, by contrast, are like shopping-mall drones, hungry for product, measuring the quality of their lives by the sheer volume of stuff they get access to on a daily basis. Their love for the series is limited to being the first one to get the latest bits, only to overanalyse and deliberately criticise it, and then post ridiculous YouTubes made by even more self-indulgent creeps who believe they are doing us all a service by sucking the fun out of the anticipation of a new film. I'm seriously sick of all these "this is what we can conclude from the trailer and why this film will be bad" 20-minute rants from nobodies hoping to score some internet likes. Who watches that crap? Yes, people who can't think for themselves, who rather hijack someone else's opinion and go with that flow, which, of course, requires less cerebral effort than to contemplate something without outside help.
Need we then be surprised that it's negative everything all the time from some people? As cultists slavishly following self-appointed internet journalists, they have adopted the worst attitude of all: the notion that constant nagging, complaining and criticising somehow suggests intelligent thinking--who wants to read positive things anyway? But I'd love to challenge these people to put together a Bond film themselves. I'd love to go south on their efforts. Honestly, reading some ideas that people have here for a decent Bond script, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. But I do know that it's for the best that most of these jokers will never get near a serious Bond production. And still, they suggest, in their undying arrogance, that Barbara Broccoli is incompetent and should be fired...
Anyway, this was my rant for the day. ;-)
