I can't explain it any more clearly than that. If you're still somehow taking issue with what I'm saying, feel free to PM me and discuss it further. You're seeing my posts as something they're not; there's no drama or argument I'm trying to start, I'm only a little confused as to why I'm deemed an a-hole for a simple statement you ran with incorrectly.
And no, you're correct, I don't take kindly to anyone calling me an a-hole, whether it's a veteran or a rookie. Me being a mod is irrelevant, you just shouldn't do it. It's called having manners, or being able to have a discussion without resorting to name calling, and assuming I'm an a-hole because you misconstrued my post isn't necessarily fair.
TL;DR: My response to you was harmless and came out the wrong way. What you think I was getting at wasn't what I was actually getting at.
Well that's cool then mate, I accept that it was a misunderstanding and that there was nothing meant by it. Were cool.
B-)
In AVTAK, Bond writes down specifics about Operation Main Strike while listening to the tape that Pola recovered from Zorin's oil well. I love how he slowly and purposefully writes a huge question mark to make clear to the audience that he doesn't have the foggiest what it's all about.
(Edit) I see you have that. Whoops.
In Moonraker he also starts using the pen disguised as a huge needle that Holly has in her hotel. Part of her CIA bag of tricks.
@Mallory Great minds think alike, eh?- Or should I say Fienne minds ;) Thank you for your input, regardless.
@Benny I completely forgot about that scene, thanks buddy. I might have to watch the film again and get a refresher. He does start to write something, but it's unclear to me what it says- perhaps it's just a random squiggle to test the ink.
@MayDayDiVicenzo This is exactly what I was looking for, cheers. It's a great close-up, and needless to say, comes up incredibly clear on bluray. It does appear to be Roger's hand, too.
It's interesting to see how many different writing styles one person can have :)) Something a spy would need to be skilled at, I suppose. Many many thanks, gentlemen- your time and effort is greatly appreciated.
60's: OHMSS - has all the greatness of the best movie decade ever
70's: LALD - captures marvelously the bad taste in clothes, cars and everything really
80's: AVTAK - the rich and the beautiful in the land of prosperity
90's: TND - captures the technology and the rise of the media perfectly
00's: DAD - exactly the kind of movie that ruled Hollywood from 2000-2005, fun, over-the-top, gigantism.
If I remember correctly, it is on the desk in Leiter s headquarter.
Thanks, how could I forget that one? Isn t there a picture of Clinton in one of the 90s films as well?
Would you rather have the Bond series end on a high note? or Have it being forced to end due to bad movies?
The latter. Even the "bad" ones have some redeeming qualities in them. Not enough to save the film though...
The 4th film tho is usually the most successful film for the Bond actor Thunderball, Moonraker, Die Another Day were the most successful films for Conenry, Moore, and Brosnan so I defiantly see Spectre being the most successful one for Craig
Successful financially, not generally quality wise.
A little convoluted but fun. Imaginative, that's for sure.
Neither.
That 4th movie thing is just a coincidence.
Skyfall is Craig's Thunderball. Definitely.
Both were gigantically successful at the time.
TB hardly ever makes the top half of any Bond list (in general).
SF already is slipping somewhat in general opinion and will undoubtably end up in the lower half of any lists once it is old enough.
Spectre could be Craig's From Russia With Love, it sure looks like it.
I think it was explained in the movie a little too fast, i know it was about exploding the gold mine and making the priece of Gold go to its highest but. but why would this create a worldie economic crisis ?
Goldfinger intends to detonate an atomic bomb in the Fort Knox gold depository in order to increase the value of his gold tenfold. The gold at Fort Knox would be rendered valueless due to its radioactivity, thus leading to economic turmoil in the West. The atomic bomb was supplied by the Chinese in order for them to emerge as the new world power as they would benefit greatly from the crisis in the West.
Coincidentally, the 2008 Financial Crisis sort of did the same thing, in terms of potentially accelerating the pace of resetting the world order in favour of the Chinese.
