Disagree with the thesis and am not quite sure if this one is not a bit in the section: "don't know anything else so I'll be proposing something stupid". :D
I never joke about my work. ;-)
Agree. For me the Bond series always be a litle bit kind of teacher too. Whyle i not realy like it there not be Dutch subtitle with the bonus material with the first 19 SE's the English subtitle i hope to inprove my English.
There is also a sad side, the Bond movies be also full of inspyration but at scool it be dificult to get inspyred/give singnals whant to be - get the change to be creative. Language never be/not be my strongest thing, always be better with numbers. History always be somewhere in the middle. Moost things i get from tv if it is not Bond.
There was I thinking of you as a teacher, like my missus and she generally does not joke about her work either.
O:-)
Heck yes. Although I like Walken, but Tanya Roberts should have been left out.
Somewhat perhaps. But AVTAK's script had so many weaknesses, an older girl or a younger Bond wouldn't be enough the fix the film.
Agreed. OP is the vastly superior film and the one Moore should have made his finale in the role.
In my opinion the thesis should read, " Had they gone with a younger Bond, Older Girl and Villain, AVTAK could have been somewhat more credible. lol
joking aside yes the villain and girl should have been older, it would have helped bring a bit more seriousness to the film. But in my opinion the whole movie was a major disaster, especially the end. Roger looked extremely old in AVTAK and his performance couldn't have been humorous and stiff.
I agree with you Sir Henry, Dalton definitely should have made his debut here, the film was much more suited for him, especially the stunts.
Yes you're right, the fire truck scene is pretty lame, but I love AVTAK nonetheless. The following scene after the fire truck chase onto the end credits is one of the greatest Bond climaxes of all time.

Agree about that being a thing Fleming's Bond indulges frequently and might have done in that manner in the books. From time to time there are references to bodn taking pills to be able to sleep, that too would fit into the picture. That said I'm not sure Bond was supposed to be that drunk. He's still quite present and I think that perfectly fit the bill for his supposed state of mind there. Damaged = yes. Beaten = no.
Bond drinks a lot in CR and QoS, and it fits the character that Fleming created.
No, NOW it's fixed :)
I liked that too. The scene is me is very Thunderball, the novel, so I'm glad at last it was included somewhere in the series.
Maybe we'll see it again, this time effecting his work? One can only hope.
That was kind of my reaction. Then again I haven't seen it in a year or two.
Indeed...Talent does exist, Composer and Music editor united!! :-B
Ditto that! When was he drunk? I thought maybe the cameraman was drunk during the opening car chase sequence, or perhaps the editors in post production.
