I think Cary completely understands what makes Craig’s Bond work while balancing that with the scale and scope of “classic” cinematic Bond.
Thankfully, the overwhelming mood today has been positive. It's great.
I thought the footage was great. I loved what Cary F said. He “gets” 007. Looking forward to the film!
I don't miss his habit of calling people retards. Eh who cares.
EDIT: Cineplex (Vancouver) is now reporting 2h43m runtime.
SF felt very Brosnan esque to me. A real step back in time. Hoping Cary captures the energy of Craig's first 2. Looks like that's his plan.
It was a bit of a TWINE/GE mashup remake, with a bit of Home Alone thrown in.
Yes I felt the long shadow of TWINE hanging over SF in particular. Not a good thing in my book. It's also the tone that Mendes adopted which felt much closer to the nostalgia laden Brosnan era than the fresh and punchy CR and QOS.
It also has lots of TMWTGG obviously which helps redeem the first half of the film at least.
On balance SF is better than any of the Brosnan films but not that much better.
Leave him mate he's been on a mission.
He spots bad will towards Skyfall, zeroes in on it, it's like blood to shark.
He can't help himself.
A case of pot kettle black I think, since every post I make about SF is followed as sure as night follows day by another by you telling me how obsessed I am.
I don't think I bash Brozza. I am actually very positive about him and his career outside of Bond. I like him and have enjoyed several of his films. By the same token while I think Dalton was an excellent Bond the man himself seems rather odd and his non Bond work is often pretty iffy IMO.
If that's obsessive then so be it.
Well since you insist on bringing it up, it was pretty dire. I seem to be one of the few who thought so at the time. Although now pretty much everyone seems to agree with me so I don't feel the need to point it out so much.
The film version of Vesper is a composite of Vesper and Tracy from the books (especially regarding the way their death affects Bond) the same way screen Moneypenny is a mix from Loelia Ponsonby and book Moneypenny.
It’s not really a phase: it’s how films are, and it’s just taken a while for action and Bond to catch up. Look at Python’s post for a list of the top action films ever made and how they all have a personal angle (And on the Indy films he actually misses Indy’s past history with the Ravenwoods and his ‘fortune and glory’ arc in the next one). And what is the film often regarded the best by Bond fans? The one where he falls in love and gets married. What’s the Fleming plot they’re often asking to see? The one where he loses his memory, gets married, gets brainwashed, tries to kill his own father figure etc. Personal stakes are actually what we like! :)
In what way is Dalton an odd man?
Pretty sure he was always a trilby man ;)
* Not really.
** You must be joking, right?
;)
This looks to be an actual screengrab from the film and BTS footage. Can you confirm @antovolk ?
This shot is very reminesnt of not just Ken Adam but also Mark Tildesley’s work on High-Rise. Bloody love it!
Ana De Armas is the one who deserves a spin-off….if the ‘woke’ movement means more images like this, I’m in.
I suspect that Bond does not meet Safin in the tunnel. The tunnel is likely just the set used at Pinewood for camera tests. Note that the make-up for Safin’s scars is less intense here. Clearly this was a more softer look they were experimenting with prior to going in a slightly more extreme direction.
This seems like a much more intense chase scene than I initially thought….
DC sliding across the hood is sexy af
Getting CR vibes of Bond kicking open the door whilst chasing Mollaka
Is this Bond?
This is the money shot! Also, am I right in thinking this is actually footage and not B-roll? - @antovolk
Looks like I'll have to downgrade my soda from a jumbo to small
