Yeah it find it hard to look at the restaurant scene where M says Bond is on his own or Bond showing up to Hildebrand to meet and work with M at the end of the film, and see mutual disrespect there. Bond can be cheeky and insubordinate, but that’s not the same as him having no respect for M.
That was my immediate thought as well. Spectre wouldn't have made $880 million unless it worked as a standalone film.
And every Bond film is that of course. Quantum of Solace, any of them.
Many may disagree with me but I wish there was more character development on Bond’s part. We had some of this in OHMSS and CR in the way of love and then the theme of abandonment in SF, all of which were great but I wish they’d focus on the little, quirky, finicky things that make the literary character who he is. For instance, Bond’s breakfast rituals - a boiled egg timed for three and a third minutes, whole wheat toast with Norwegian honey and Tiptree marmalade (well, the brands may need to be skipped due to product placement issues :) ). Then there’s Bond’s dislike for shoelaces. Of course they only have to be brief scenes but I feel that it’s important for them to do their best to further distinguish him from all the other action heroes out there. Bond gambling in his free time, then buying a diamond clip for his cash for example like he expressed a desire to do in the Moonraker novel. Bond at the mechanics requesting that a bigger motor be put in his car. Arguments with Felix about the merits and demerits of American and British cars... So many of this stuff is overlooked in the films which for me personally is a shame.
TOTAL FILM febr issue. This is the only text they had and picture.
Everyone: If you want the full magazine(PDF) with other stuff just give me a shout-out.
I see, thanks for clearing that up. Along those lines another trailer is more likely than not, I guess.
Sorry to be pedantic but you specifically said "re-watch" which means you already know the context and therefore can certainly enjoy the quality of writing, acting and production on something like the Soprano's, the Wire or Breaking Bad when catching one episode. Certainly much more than watching a one programme off of dire quality.
I am in the UK and The Soprano's is on almost constant loop here on Sky TV.
+1
Yeah I've tried rewatching Knight Rider for nostalgia's sake and... it's crap. I'd much rather catch a random ep of The Sopranos again. Same for the Craig Bonds over some much more rubbish action movie- it doesn't take an awful lot for me to remember what had happened to him previously.
Hahaha I'd be so happy
I thought they said his villain was to stay out of politics I guess not. Michael Bloomberg won't like this film.
I think Malek's main stipulation was that he wouldn't play an Islamic terrorist.
Yes, it was religion that was the condition. Not politics. Which is fine. Everything is political. Even the cartoonish Bonds have politics involved. It's the name of the game.
This from wikipedia ideology is politics "Malek revealed in an interview that his character would not be connected to any religion or ideology".[70]
/ˌīdēˈäləjē,ˌidēˈäləjē/
noun
1.
a system of ideas and ideals, especially one which forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy.
"the ideology of republicanism"
synonyms: beliefs, ideas, ideals, principles, doctrine, creed, credo, teaching, dogma, theory, thesis, tenets, canon(s); More
Exactly. Pretty much every living soul on the planet lives by an "ideology" of some sort.
Yeah, as ironic as it may sound, not having an ideology is itself an ideology. But I'm fairly sure Malek only referred to religion, as in "he's not an "ISIS terrorist" or something like that.
Why are you worried about other people? I’m only concerned whether I can follow something or not. They’re not going to make the storylines in Bond so complicated that folks can’t follow them.
Have you been confused by the plot of the films over the last fifteen years?
This is your friendly reminder that the person you're talking to is a troll. A couple of weeks ago they were arguing that climate change is a lie in the Billie Eilish thread and despite my attempts to talk about it in PMs so to avoid any off topic Ringfire ignored my PMs as well as any mod warnings and kept hijacking the thread with his do-gooders derogation and Lucifer nonsense. Don't even try to argue with them, it's pointless.
Thanks for the reminder, @Walecs, actually, thank you for the info. Jeez, Lucifer and climate change conspiracies? Really? I had no idea we’d come to that. I haven’t been around much lately. And here I was trying to see some sense in his arguments. Dully noted. And I thought we’d got rid of the trolls in the last couple of months. Lucifer... =)) Please... @-)
From a Russian shortened trailer/spot which looks like that one with Blofeld going 'your enemy is my enemy now' some on here have seen at the cinema...
Bwhahahah, they completely erased Nomi from the russian trailer?! LOL! Love it.
I mean, Safin may or may not be Russian....
