So was Brosnan.
The only actors I can recall openly discredit the franchise is Sean Connery and Daniel Craig.
I think you might have made the second bit up.
Ah yes. The "I rather slash my wrists" comment is of course a love letter to playing James Bond.
Did you get a deputy badge for opposing everything critical about Craig? Craig police force must be fun.
Alone working over all the injuries, he got, because he wanted it to be as real as possible, is indeed a love letter to Bond. This alone plus everything else. Living and breathing Bond before, during and after is one. That brought him the co - producer.
This feels more and more like Turkey and not a James Bond forum.
That's very different to Connery's very public feud with the producers. Craig has never spoken out against the franchise, the producers, the cast, the crew... and he's very loved by those on set. His comment, as we all know, was completely taken out of context - said as he'd literally finished a gruelling shoot and published months later. He's shown nothing but respect and, like Roger, has used his position for many noble causes along the way. I'm not policing anything, but sometimes when you talk shit you need to be told and you're talking shit, mate.
You are going to have to pay the toll, which requires saying something positive about Timothy Dalton.
Take the bickering elsewhere fellas.
Craig discredited the franchise with those remarks. That's a fact. Deal with it.
I haven't claimed anything else.
I don't care if it was taken out of context. The words were said by Craig, he should have known better but he didn't. That's disrespect, foolishly.
He did nothing of the sort.
Oki, sadly he is my least favourite, but honestly, I can say nothing negative about him. He seems like a nice fella and maybe his dark approach came at the wrong time. I know, i wasn't ready for it.
I agree.
The alternate Tomorrow Never Lies.
He does look good I must admit...he did throughout the whole of 'The Rocketeer.'
I cant really watch that film because that was the year he should have been filming GE.
At the LTK premiere he said that TLD was a step in the right direction, and LTK was a huge leap. Years later I think he said (I may be wrong) that he preferred TLD of his films.
But, it was the Royal Prem and he had to sell it. I remember Connery bigging up DAF during filming, and Broz waxing about DAD. They have to sell their films, good or bad.
For some reason I always picture something along the lines of Black Rain by Ridley Scott. A shame in a way that Scott was never considered for Bond. Could have been a good fit IMO.
1. Bond and Colombo meet on the boat
2. Bond meets Orlov and learns of the Russian's plans
3. Bond meets Sanchez in the latter's office
Highly dramatic first encounter moments and they seem to lack real suspense.
Glen seems a decent enough director but I really wouldn't say he's anything special. Outside of Bond his credits as editor are more impressive.
Indeed. I personally view both as missteps, but TLD was the better of the two in my opinion.
Glen was an excellent Bond director.
Totally agree @Getafix .
The only films from the 80s/90s/00s that give me that old school Adam feeling are GE and QoS (CR doesn't, even though the performances are excellent).
And while I defend Glen, I do also think that 5 consecutive Bond films was enough. I just want to put that out there.
I can't criticize Glen's action skills. The LTK action is truly superb.
I'm never entirely sure what the budgetary constraints were tbh, but I don't think the Glen films are ever anything less than highly entertaining - even AVTAK.
