This is exactly my thoughts on Stamper. This is exactly why I think he's quite possibly the worst in the series (though Vargas is completely useless as well).
I think it had the 'potential' to be, but IMO it was woefully realised. Lamont tried to do an Adam and failed. Only Ken could do those, mainly because he'd probably have insisted on them building it for real. I thought it looked cheap and has aged pretty badly. The only Iceland shots with any zeal are the genuine ones, featured in the chase.
I think Elvis is probably the worst but Stamper definitely gives him a run for his money. Vargas was very forgettable but I think he has a cool death (with a great one liner from Bond afterwards) so I don't really mind him.
I thought it looked a bit cheap during the party but most of the time I thought it looked cool. I liked the big dome bit where Graves' office was, with the glass floor and all the plants underneath it. I think they missed a trick there though, they could've made the plants poisonous and made it an adaptation of the garden of death from YOLT.
Benny,thats some confession...and not a good one old pal !!
:-&
hahaha its the BAIN of my life !! get it ? (Bane/BAIN)....oooh i do love a good pun ;)
It is a pretty awful film in fairness. I'm sure Peter Sellers looked back on dressing up as a Nazi with fondness.
The whole thing is a joke and the film is so up itself,thinking its brilliant.
I cant bear to watch it again ever and it doesnt deserve to have Bond linked to it in any way,shape or form.
Both films are pretty insane.
DAD is my guilty pleasure when im drunk,its very watchable actually.
Is it a good thing you have to be drunk to watch and enjoy it?
How often do you watch it? On a daily basis?
Well it doesnt do me any harm,once in a while !
hahaha im probably drunk on a daily basis but i watch DAD very infrequently.
The other way round would indeed be a bit of a worry !!
Mr Kil was the worst. Stamper's so-so but nothing special
"For Carver...yah...AND KAULFMAN...YAH"
I thought DAD was untouchably bad...until I saw CR67 for the first and last time. Good God, but it was dreadful. Not only a profound failure at every level, it invented a few other levels, just for good measure, and failed at them, too.
I think it's one of the better parts of the film and it's a decent PTS but the likes of GF, TSWLM, TLD, GE, TWINE, CR and SF blow it out of the water imo.
Mr Kil was only really there for a bad pun but at least he had a distinctive look to him, he was more original than Stamper. Stamper was just a crap, boring retread of what we'd seen before.
Sir James: [taking the reins of the British Secret Service] Oh, by the way, Moneypenny, since I've come in here, have you heard me stammer?
Miss Moneypenny: No, sir!
Sir James: Splendid. Let me know if I do; I haven't got time for that sort of thing now.
and
Sir James: [Giving a description of his era's spy type] ... vocationally devoted, sublimely disinterested. Hardly a description of that sexual acrobat who leaves a trail of dead beautiful women like so many blown roses behind him - that bounder to whom you gave my name and number.
and
regrading the head of the CIA, MI6, French and Russian Intelligence on their reliance on gadgets;
Sir James: And you, Smernov, with an armoury concealed in your grotesque boots... And Le Grand, with different deadly poisons in each of your fly button. And you M, with your flame-throwing fountain pens. You're joke shop spies, gentlemen.
2. TMWTGG is a good film
3. License to kill is a great film
4. Not really controversial lol but yea I have watched Octopussy more than I have watched any other bond film
5. I think that TLD is a decent film, but it kind of drags on a bit, dalton feels out of place in it
This seems to be true for a lot of people. Funny, that...
Well the truly great Bond films, have often baffled the conventional minds.
Wow I agree fully on all of these besides 4 (haven't watched it too much, maybe twice or thrice)
I will say this for OP: beyond all its campy moments, the defusing scene in the circus alone is admittedly very tense and very well shot. It's always nice to see Q get some credit too at the end of the adventure once one accounts for all the times that Bond would've died without his genius.
