I think "farmer cousin" and "educated doctor" might be a false dichotomy.
Some of my farmer cousins are incredibly smart people!
Hey, no one said farming was easy!
@Walecs maybe I misunderstood your point; @Thunderfinger said basically to due diligence for where you get your info (I believe); is that what you were saying?
This always seems to happen when there's no news. :P
I’m sure no one, lest of all the exact same newspaper, would be peddling the same angle 25 years later... would they?
:D
The papers are always about disaster. Remember when they reported that Halle Berry had lost an eye during filming of DAD? (She had gotten something in her eye.)
What I meant is that you can't just blindly listen to "all of them". Certain scientists claim that Covid is not dangerous at all, others claim that we're all gonna die no matter how strong and healthy we are, and others claim that some are going to die. How am I supposed to listen to all of them (those are echo's words) if they all say different things?
As for science not being an exact science, yeah, I'm not going to disagree with that (obviously different discoveries are made everyday). However some famous and renowned scientists made their claims and added that they were 100% certain of what they were saying (and then they said the opposite of that and even denied that they had made a mistakes).
it's infinitely fun watching clearly misinformed DM articles ruffle the feathers of certain Bond fans and watching the resulting 'Bond is dead!!!!!' videos
I can't even imagine what the internet would have been like at various points in the history of this franchise. It's something I try and think consciously about whenever things in fandom seem a little too crazy now.
"Retcon makes Dr. No part of SPECTRE!"
"Perfect 'From Russia with Love' plot ruined, now From Spectre with Scheming!"
"You Only Live Twice takes place in space???"
"Goldeneye isn't even slightly based on a book!!!"
"Daniel Craig is not B-" oh wait the internet was here and that garbage one actually did happen.
I remember even as a teenager, amongst my friends, considering TND the weakest of the Brosnan films.
Now, I think it might be the cleverest and is easily the most prescient.
I'm far less existentially afraid of nuclear weapons and diamond space lasers today than I am of what that film's villainy represents.
+1. In my opinion the first two acts of TND are excellent. Unfortunately the third act is a bit bland and not really engaging, just like the other films in Brosnan's era, though it's still watchable.
Yeah I’m exactly the same. It seemed ridiculous at the time but I’ve slowly come to realise it’s actually a rather great idea. And not even because things have obviously been going that way, but because they actually started that way with Hearst and all that, and that’s even referenced in the film.
But thank heavens they wouldn’t try to stir up discontent about a black woman appearing in the new film, and then dare to ask on their front page last week ‘what has happened to Britain’s tolerant society?’. Scumbags. At least Carver didn’t deny it.
I wonder if a future Bond film will ever deal with a corrupt billionaire lying his way into running a major country and trying to turn it into a dictatorship? I know Kananga was PM of his country, but something a bit bigger maybe...
CR: Post-9/11 climate, following the purse strings, Bond coming to terms with the "bigger picture" and understanding how the world really works, beyond himself and his own pain.
QoS: The monopolization of resources by big business and eventual downstream social effects of their scarcity (whoo-boy, even more relevant now).
SF: The redundancy of the analog world vs. the utterly terrifying levels of power brought on by the digital revolution, humanity's place in that change.
SP: The power-shifting influence of mass surveillance capabilities and the inseparable effect data-driven realities will have on our lives moving forward, also the foster brother you once briefly knew is now your defining supervillain ha jeez what are the odds
:)) :))
Solid Snake and Austin Powers: :)) :)) :)) :))
i ve not seen it in the original trailers..
and not even the one where she is lying on the bed in a hotel in Italy ..
From the tv-spots.
Filmed at Cala Tunnara bath, Maratea, Italy

IMO it’d be preferable to just wait for this until NTTD comes out as a home release, especially since it would feel like a very complete package with every Connery-Craig film. Individual releases of course now wouldn’t be a bad idea - I am referring to the idea of a box set.
Nope. Unless you fancy rummaging through Twitter.
they should put out audience favorite bond films like CR, SF, GF,... in order to get people in the bond mood and entice the public back to the cinema.
Hospitality needs a chance to reopen - jobs and whole businesses are at risk.
I could get behind that!
