I prefer the idea of Madeleine leaving Bond a la the novel DAF or even being a sleeper agent/traitor who leaves/escapes/dies. That way Bond can move on with another woman in Bond 25. If they go the Tracy route with Madeleine, it is going to be hard for them not to go for a Camille-like chaste route, which I think was a mistake the first time.
Mine too. Dench is in top form here, possibly her best scene in the series.
I thought it was ok and very British.
I loved it at first and still think the shot of Bond running amongst the police cars is a cracker. However I can now see why some consider the Tennyson scene as contrived and/or pretentious.
Right M, theres a known terrorist who has justescaped custody, killed agents, and is on its way to shoot up the house youre in.What are you going to do? Evacuate the building? Lock down the building? Get the people inside to safety? All of the above?
No just sit there AND READ A FUCKING POEM!!!!
Blofeld uses decoys to run his various operations. That's how I look at it.
In universe I said. Bond previously was disguised as a Japanese. And I know Bond has no longer the disguise in the volcano that's why I say minimal retcon.In OHMSS he is somewhat disguised as Hilary Bray and has completely different look and mannerism. In the novels Blofeld doesn't recognise Bond right away because of said Japanese disguise.
Oh and another controversial opinion: I find the Hilary Bray disguise believable in spite of its minimalism. Because of it actually.
On a complete side note: The creators of Superman: The Animated Series modeled their Lex Luthor (voiced by Clancy Brown) after Telly's Blofeld.
But yeah, I've never had a problem reconciling the Bond/Blofeld introductions in YOLT and OHMSS. I think two key things really help with this: a) the change in actors for both Bond and Blofeld, and b) the fact that BOTH times Bond is operating under a disguise (Japanese/Sir Hilary Bray). Combine those points with just not thinking too hard about it and it's no problem whatsoever.
Correct.
Plus they only met briefly two years prior.
That doesn't sound too bad. In DAF they are even equiping OHMSS's Aston in the background. ;)
My point exactly. :D
It's all about mannerism. And George Baker's voice.
I love Craig, and my respect for him went up even more when he said that. Freedom of speech is meaningless if you can get fired at the drop of a hat for saying how you feel. Craig did more intensive stunts than all the other actors combined. He has every right to complain.
Clamors to fire him are mostly just exagerrated outrage made to hold social order of employees being submissive.
It's a new era of capitalism. We're not in pre-reform Britain anymore. I'm glad Craig didn't Sixth Sense himself like Bruce Willis and shortchange himself for charity whilst execs make billions. Why did Bruce Willis need a million? What a question... Why does the CEO need a billion?
Craig is a cash cow. People saw Spectre for him (Mendes and the cast as well).
If you have talents and you're needed, employers need to leave a good impression on you ; It's no longer a one way street ; throw your weight around Dan.
People saw Spectre for JAMES BOND.Not the actor who was playing him.
If what you say was true every film Craig made would be a blockbuster.Its quite the opposite actually.
True, both The Golden Compass and Cowboys and Aliens were financial failures, no getting around that.
I guess every Bond actor is a sell if he is established as the new Bond. That is certainly why Moore made so many films... despite his age.
