Kerim, I thought I was on a discussion forum. Discussion sometimes means sharing different opinions rather than just having one big love in.
The 50th Anniversary is a massive achievement but it has only happened because the series is a massive money making machine. Eon are not a charity and have never claimed to be.
Once the franchise ceases to be hugely profitable it will be rapidly terminated.
Just a point to bear in mind.
Many many thanks for making this such a special year with a vintage Bond movie. I've also just got a new special lady in my life who hasn't seen Skyfall yet which is a good enough reason for me to go and see it again for a 4th time and help edge it towards the billion dollar mark!
So the Broccolis are OK by me.
Congrats on bringing the community closer together
=D> big congrats on your work

Thanks for not making a crap film.
Love,
Bond fans of the world
I sense an undercurrent sarcasm in your voice...
My message would be:
"Dear Babs & Michael. From the moment you hired this amazing cast & crew, I was certain you, as producers, were going to experience something unique. And unique 'Skyfall' is thus far. It deserves an Oscar! I wish you the same creative insight for the upcoming 50 years of Bond. Warmest regards, Gustav_Graves"
I think everyone involved in the crew deserves a big thank you as well for their tireless work.
Nice ... my only suggestion is not to call her "Babs."
Agreed. I find it condescending and inappropriate when the intention is to actually thank her.
Is this really how bad things have gotten? Have things been so inconsistent since 2002 that we have to send them a thank you card when they make a good film, even though that's what they should be trying to do anyway? Plus we've helped make it the most successful Bond film ever, which is thank you enough. If you all send them a letter for making it, then they should send you one for going to see it.
Sorry but I have to agree with @TheWizardOfIce, @RC7 and @PeterGreenhill
If you don't agree, then get out of here.
There's enough negative energy around here, and we would all like to have a nice space to share our enthusiasm for Bond's future without having people rain on our parade. There are plenty of places to criticize EON, so go there instead of here.
It isn't a thank you for just a good film, but for Bond's entire 50 year career. It is a hats off to every single man and woman that have kept Bond going since 1962, from the large orders like producing and directing to simply doing casting jobs or tailoring suits. The producing, the directing, the casts, the very suits Bond wears and more all culminate into one fantastic 50 year ride, and everyone involved, no matter how small their role, deserve a thanks. Nobody else but Bond has endured in such a fine fashion, through changing tides in the world, law suits, bankruptcies, casting changes, and more. It isn't a salute to one film, no. It is a salute to an entire company who have let us know for 50 years going that no matter what, Bond will always return.
I still think some people on these forums are here for the sole purpose of being negative. I know a member or two who I see only spew out hatred and negative thoughts in any thread I see them speaking in. What's the point?
If it's for the series as a whole, then fair enough. I just thought the idea of thanking them because they made a good film (which they're meant to do anyway) was stupid.
That's the idea of one person. Those that go along with the idea have the power to form it. That's the great thing about ideas. They can be elaborated upon, or improved to meet a need.
Here is what the text on the card says:
"Dear Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, we, the MI6 Community all wish to thank you for all the amazing Bond films you brought us, especially Skyfall. It is always nice to know that Bond will return."
Does that sound like we are thanking them for one film? No, it is a thanks for all past efforts, as well as their present Bond film that continues to show that Bond is as strong as ever.
I just scrolled down on the first page and typed my post.
I didn't say it was. It's my fault for not reading the thread.
I think the thank you card for all the years of Bond is appropriate, so I'm glad we are doing this.
