Alright, that's fine, I agree it's not the worst line ever. I was actually trying to make a broader point about appealing to the lowest common denominator, and how that attitude slowly creeped into Brosnan's films to the point where it was the entire focus. You know, Die Another Day. Regarding self-cannibalism... Again, I was referring to Die Another Day.
I get your point. Sacrificing actual wit for cheese for the sake of cheese.
*sniggers*, a first-class comment.
I just don't like that they were actually aiming for groaners. Try to make people laugh not wince.
I must agree there, DAD's script is so awful, it really did sort of eat itself. And we were creeping that way with TWINE: "I came prepared for a cold reception." Indeed. I think that line was given a cold reception by most of the audience.
Still it's marginally less tedious than TWINE which I think possibly ranks as the most boring Bond movie of all time.
Sums up my feeling. TWINE is too much of a soap opera at times for me.
Which is understandable if you look at this ugly "Ice Age" spin-off poster. And also, the villains on the poster look like Log-Cabin gay Republicans:
Agree 100% !
Moonraker isn't held in high esteem yet the film has some of the tensest sequences including some where Bond actually does some proper spying (Corrine and the dogs, Bond breaking in to Drax's safe, Bond in the lab and the scientists' death, the centrifuge scene, Bond's first meeting with Drax).
Likewise DAD has moments where it rises to respectability, but suffers from the last 40 minutes being the worst of the series and feeling like an hour and 40 minutes.
What I love about TWINE is this: It's easily Brosnan's most complex, nuanced, and emotionally rich portrayal of Ian Fleming's James Bond. Perhaps a prelude to Daniel Craig's more radical departure of the formularic pastiche of the James Bond character. Therefore, TWINE and Brosnan give us easily the best performance of James Bond 007.
Best overall of any actor or best by PB?
Brosnan's best. Like I said :-). Nah, when we bring the other actors into the comparison, things change :-).
The teaser poster with the Beretta in ice though was awesome - I could tell from the trailers that it was going to be bad.
I assume that you are taking the proverbial
Putting a gun to my head, i would have to say TWINE is the only barely passable of Brossas films. But only because of Sophie Marceau, and Kleinmans titles are terrific! Brosnan though is awful! I cringe at that scene where he confronts Elektra after Renard reveals the "no point in living.." line and about his shoulder injury!
For me the GE and TWINE ones are Brozza's best. The GoldenEye one is nostalgic for me as I remember that poster being everywhere in 1995.
I'm not too fond about the TND ones to be honest. Brosnan doesn't quite look right. In TWINE he looks better.
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean :-P.
You're right and That's where they were heading I guess - with the jinx spin off...thank heaven for small mercies that didn't happen. Wai Lin would have even been better to spin off! And berry being oscar winning actress at the height of her 'powers' (well at least visibility and cred) in 01/02? Means she'd get a big chunk of the publicity.
