Bond meets Dr No is another pretty shocking emission...
Given the choices I will have to go with Bond meets Sanchez
It was a nomination in a previous round, is perhaps why?
Most of the time I'll just let misspellings on the internet alone. Not this time.
What you're talking about is an omission. An emission is...something else...
We definitely don't need to know about anyone's shocking emissions... ;)
I think these omissions are because the spirit of "Bond meets Villain" is usually a much less dramatic meeting than "Bond confronts Villain", if you will. In Goldfinger, for example, Bond "meeting" the villain would be when he golfs with him, and both parties are still acting in a clandestine way; later in the film, I'd say Bond "confronts" Goldfinger, when all the cards are down and both are aware of eachother's intentions.
In Dr. No and Skyfall, there is only the latter; Bond "confronts" Dr. No and Silva, but they never have a casual "meeting" beforehand, as the characters do in GF, TB, OP, etc.
I hope this makes sense, and is accurate! @thedove, feel free to chime in to provide some clarity!
All the scenes that were nominated by me are examples where Bond the Villain know, or suspect they know that they are about to battle. But it's all tied up in social niceties and polite chatter. The people sitting around the Baccarat table would just imagine that Bond and Largo are talking about the cards, but we the audience (the characters) know there is a bit more going on.
DN, TMWTGG, SF have wonderful scenes where Bond meets them but I didn't feel they qualified given what I was looking for. I thought after that Kamal meeting Bond over backgammon was another scene that fit this mold. This is a more glaring emission I mean omission! :)
He must have meant when Bond is asleep and Dr No sneaks up on him.
I was watching that the other day: is that the only reason Dr No drugs them? Seems a bit... pointless?
He needs human contact. Cannot please himself much with those metal hands.
Thanks for the explanation, @thedove.
Lets do a fun category for the next Bondie. Throughout time we have had some colourful characters. But some have had no lines of dialogue and still managed to steal the show. Whether it's an extra in the background or a lackey that doesn't speak lets look at the nominees:
Who sticks in your mind? Who stole their small scene in a Bond film? Lets vote for best non-speaking character from a Bond film.
*chef's kiss*
I just learned about this guy from Guess the Character. ;P Fun category! I think GF will sweep, and I can't quite remember the broomsman from QOS you're referring to...
Might be fun to write in a vote for MGW's string of cameos, would that count?
I'm going to think for a bit and come back.
Yes you can! I loved his string of appearances. I think TSWLM was his best work. :)
MGW sometimes has dialog. "Consider him slimed!"
What film’s that?
This forum makes me feel like I don’t know anything about James Bond sometimes :))
I'd nominate dear Miss Bell but she has a few lines of dialogue. I suppose we could add the family that's munching on noodles when Bond approaches looking for Lazar.
Not to forget Maggie Thatcher!
Lol is she an animal?
I too submit my vote for the North Korean tortureuse
