@MadeleineSwann Oh yes, so sorry, I'm so excited about everything in the film !!!
what are they filming tomorrow
You didn't. You implied I thought the chase was too Brosnan-esque. I didn't. I'm not asking you to agree with my 'gripe', just understand what it is. I do think it's a 'nod', yes
Sorry mate, but I don't buy this. The DC era was all about change and risk, even QoS, while the Brosnan era made no bones about being a greatest hits album. It was shameless, but honest. You can't in one breath talk about these Mendes films as being nuanced works of multi-layered genius, and in the other suggest that
That's my idea as well.....
I'm sure it will be great, I just want it to be as exhilarating and fresh as CR.
Me too.....but let's not forget, there can only be one reboot. And the more the Craig-films get onto familiair Bond grounds, the more people start saying they are not fresh or as exhilarating as that particular film. For me personally, that's not right, as in its core a superduper old franchise like James Bond is never original or fresh.
I'm just a bit afraid that at times were a bit too negative about the Bond films......and not in a good way :-(. Criticism is OK, but until I have actually seen the film, I'm not going to start to worry about gadgets. Obviously there's a plan behind all this.
I think for me, they don't need to get into familiar territory. CR had the hallmarks of a Bond film, while still being relatively resistant to the enticing and comforting pull of familiarity. I don't even think this is down to it being a reboot. CR could easily be retooled to be a straight mission and still be a great film. If there's anywhere this can be discussed, though I'd say it's here. I try to give reasoning if I'm putting a negative slant on something, simply saying cross your fingers and it'll all be amazing doesn't really work for me. Any reservations I have going into SP can be put to bed by Mendes and his team, and if they do it's a win-win for me because all I want is the best Bond film they can deliver.

This looks like possibly the perfect synthesis of the old an new, something I was hoping was going to be happening with the Craig films after QOS.
SF certainly hinted at it but the M storyline put a darker tone on proceedings despite at times definitely lightening up things after the dour QOS. The ending obviously bought it back to a more serious tone but the sign off hinted that things were moving into the more familiar territory of the series, the male M with the classic office setting, the introduction of Q and MP and just the vibe that Bond was starting to enjoy things more.
Mendes looks to have lived up to that promise and SPECTRE is looking like a classic adventure in the mould of TB or SWLM. While it's unlikely to get as flippant as those more epic Connery's and Moore's it seems the nods to the past are here to stay.
While as Bond fans some of us would like something more like CR I don't think this era would continue to be successful if you took it back to that, this era as been an evolution like no other of the series and now we at the point that some of us wanted but then again they'll still be some who won't like it because of Craig or those who wanted things to stay more serious.
I would of classed myself at a time who wanted more gritty stories and darker tone but after 2 films of it and one that balanced between dark and light, I'm ready for a big epic adventure with action sequences that rise to the occasion and it seems SPECTRE is going to deliver on it. So the use of Aston doesn't bother me, even the use of gadgets isn't a turn off so far this film is ticking all the boxes it needs to, I can't wait to see the finished product in November.
I agree. The Aston is no match for him. Dashing.
The suit is lovely - and it seems less of a super-tight fit than in SF. Or is that just my imagination?
The leather gloves are a bit odd here, but then leather gloves are always a good thing, right?
They look like Persol to me.
@Sandy, agreed, these photos really are beautiful.
Tom Ford either Hugh or Snowdon
Seems to be a more dandy ish handkerchief in te pocket again.
There's some thing about the Aston I'm not in Iove with. Can't put my finger in it. Think it looks maybe too bulky and has lost the elegance of some of the older models.
I have a good feeling about what I've seen this far. Feels like a classy travelogue adventure. I mean Bolivia in QOS was hardly beautiful was it.
