Exactly! :)
Bad, tacky mistake.
I cannot recall any film where Bond didn´t ridicule Q in one way or another because of Q´s outrageous gadgets. All the more so does it seem odd that in SF all of a sudden Bond complains, "A gun and a radio. Not exactly Christmas."
Not to mention that that scene completely ignores the previous two films, i.e. the whole Craig-Bond history.
No. It's not. Every person on earth knows JB. They don't need reminding.
Boo hiss Mr Mendes. How dare you bring out the DB5, Bond's most iconic car, for the 50th anniversary.
"Whats he doing in the cricket? He should be prepping a Bond movie!"
Audio:
You forgot the bit at SF where he deployed the machine guns ;)
As for the 50th anniversary, excuse my french, but fuck it. Are we going to trot the same bollocks out on the 55th, 60th, 65th, 70th, 75th etc etc etc etc. The sooner all that is binned off, the better.
Yes, it's no doubt a sign that the relationship between Mendes and EON is crumbling! :))
But why? It happened, it's been done. A greatest hits is a sign of decline. I'm more irritated by SF because it could have been great, DAD was just a mess. I don't remember seeing any nods in TLD for the 35th. It's just a modern fad, a marketing ploy that needs to be nipped in the bud.
To put it in context. Is it a shame we don't see the DB5 during Roger's tenure? No, because they had the balls to deliver new iconography. Rog was around for the 15th and 21st birthdays - no bullshit homages, though. I don't want to see homages, clever or overt, I want to see an original Bond movie, plain and simple.
Well said!
The really funny part will happen if in a few days after being seen spending weeks doing time consuming promo and mundane things, he says he's tiring of Bond. You'll see here people saying it's understandable to say such things now :)
Yes, a potential Skyfall 2 won't have the 50th birhday excuse for being a self-refential fest so I hope we don't get Skyfall 2. The quote from Mendes wanting to re-create the experience of the audience's reaction to the DB5 is the most worrying part of the info so far IMO (Logan speaking freely about his disinterest because he may be free is only worrying for those who think a movie production is never a troubled production).
SF just felt like some weird nostalgia fest to me - backward looking, navel-gazing, gloomy and not at all up-lifting. Not what I go to see a Bond movie for, frankly.

Good to hear there will be some terrible joke and bad grammar in Bond 24.
1. The reason why they are brought back scares me
2. However purvis and wade when they are good are bloody brilliant and they have this (some might say annoying) habit of trying to put as much unused Fleming into a script...
Filming beginning in December is slightly upsetting but not hugely ( as long bond 24 still comes out next year)
Overall if Purvis and Wade are in Casino Royale mode we are in good hands if it's die another day mode uhm I am scared
Either way, Logan has worked on this script all this time, and now the film has been pushed back for two months so the previously-exited team of Purvis & Wade can return and alter his script? Consider me very, very worried.
My big fear is they're altering the tone of Craig's films, so he's just going to seem like a different man now. He was the same person (to me) in CR and QoS, changed quite a lot with his sense of humor and general inability to kick ass in SF, and now what? Are they going to return to the stone-cold-gazed agent from Craig's first two films? Keep it constant, and don't disappoint me once more.
Well here's the news you all have been so eagerly awaiting.
Baz was on the money for Skyfall more often than not. Still, it's best not to jump to conclusions.
I try not to, just prepping my disgust and disappoint pre-announcement if it is true!
Logan had to deliver in a hurry, and I think he tried to take Bond somewhere. I don't think the producers liked how far he went, and they're now in a pinch to bring it back a bit.
Queue your previously super successful writing duo making a return.
I've been more than happy with their work on CR, QoS, and SF so I'm open to see what they'll do with a second chance.
Actually, I'm pretty sure CR was their 'second chance', so count this as their third chance to prove something.
I'm actually a little bit excited now. Finally something is happening.
I could deal. :))
I'm starting to think all the great dialogue out of SF came from Purvis & Wade, perhaps? They have written Q decently before.. Moneypenny on the other hand? There was that CG sex scene in DAD.
Very interesting development. Makes me even more curious as to how the film will carry out.
