Henry Winkler can't ride a motorcycle - but if they could make the Fonz look like he knows how to ride a bike for 70s TV show - no doubt a modern day film crew can make DC look like he knows what he is doing on skis :)
It may sound confusing, but while I was growing up no matter how great the boots my parents would buy me I would always manage to get my feet wet from the snow. From some reason the mayor's office people from my home town were (are still are) convinced by the turism adds for Portugal, and always seemed to be surprised by the 9 months of winter we actually have in my town. In your country everything is organized so that when it snows the streets and roads quickly get clean. In my old town we had to get to school and home again (after they decided that the teachers from outside town couldn't reach us) with snow that reached our poor thights. Burnt hands resulted from playing in the snow, and more frequently with . I couldn't help touching it with my bare hands. Here's a picture of a pine tree in my home town in winter, when icicle forms.
They didn't, they just tried to write a good line.
Nice picture. :)
I've never had frostbites, my feet stay dry and warm, and I'm far more likely to be too warm than cold when outdoors in winter, because I try to dress so that I'm not cold when I start off, and then after walking for awhile I get too warm. I like proper winter with snow, cold weather (the air is so fresh then), and all - one dresses well, stays dry, and it's pretty. I don't like it when it's not properly cold, but wet from rain or sleet, and just dark and not pretty - the landscape looks so deserted when there are no leaves in trees etc, but no snow, either, to bring light and beauty. Last winter sure was meh. Thank goodness the summer hasn't been meh, but properly sunny and hot for most part.
It's in a Brit tabloid newspaper - so it must be true...
I have to say, that is a very clever statement. Thanks for bringing it up, we might have missed that point ;)
Dammit, where's the rolled eyes smiley when you need it?
tabloids, shmabloids.
Sir Roger knows how to Ski...but not over a cliff...and that looked pretty convincing to me and I believed that it was Bond doing the jump...even if the person being Bond was a stunman and not Sir Roger...I'm pretty sure that DC doesn't know how to spin an Aston Martin around on an Italien highway and fire a gun out of a door thats been ripped off...or fly a DC-3 but that all looked pretty convincing to me even if all the driving was done by a stuntman and DC's closeups were done in the studio...and DC was commanding a mock-up of a plane on a soundstage...We are no longer in the 70s when the back projection was the technology of the day to put the actor in the situation. Today there are all sorts of techniques....maybe CGI or maybe special rigs on location or the actors in a studio with very sophistiacted green screen and digital replacement.
Now with Bond already we've seen the jumping over / under / off a precipice and the jeopardy of an avalanche things before so where does this allow for any new action with groundbreaking creativity? I'm not a film maker but I can see this being very limiting in what we'd end up seeing.
Of course the latest CGI would make DC actually appear to be doing the stunts (IF he isn't actually doing them as he does give things a go!) yet I'm just not sold on the idea. It would certainly be nice to have something extra in the mix like the OMHSS toboggan or FYEO Olympic pursuit with the all terrain bikes with spikes.
That's where they felt they needed to go with TWINE (complete with the Q-Branch self inflating igloo jacket in the avalanche) but that whole scene was really an excellent set piece opportunity missed for me.
I'm just thinking, this discussion with the hope of seeing DC in skis is just that, something different that we haven't seen him do but so what!!
Why are you staying out of the discussion?
And nobody is sure if mountain climbing was mentioned.. because you need a subscription to actually read the article.
:))
Indeed. Then he was The Chosen One...
it looked worse in IMAX than in a regular theater - but still, once it was seen, it can't be unseen lol.... but i wouldn't say it was horrendous - we've seen horrendous - a gigantic WAVE of horrendous. lol.
