Never! Hehe.
Here here. :-bd
My imagination is boundless, and especially running wild when I'm creating topics :-). I love to channel my ideas yes, and it results in wunderful discussions I think.
But with regard to your last comment @RC7. I just don't "get" your criticism about the use or re-introduction of certain gadgets :-). If you say that this "particular item", being gadgets, is conceptually similar to ideas and executioned ideas in certain Brosnan films, then I find it not more than logical to debunk your worries at this particular stage of the production of "SPECTRE" by actually looking at how the gadgets were used in the Brosnan era.
That's hardly an example of my imagination running wild. It's a reaction to something you implied to.....
And again, I think your worries, at this particular stage of the production of "SPECTRE", are too soon, too early. Let's wait how the car chase turns out after Lee Smith has edited it together. I trust it'll be a memorable car chase.

James Bond's Daniel Craig is here in Rome to film Spectre. Car chase happening by the Vatican tonight!
James Bond film being shot at Borgo Pio near Vatican.
I implied SP would be like DAD? No, i didn't. You're just making assumptions and waffling again. I suggested that using
The chase itself will no doubt be great, as I've said many times before.
I think in a way, they have to pander to both sets of fans, traditionalist and sensationalists.
I think that gadgets can work in the "Craig era", so long as they're handled sensitively without going overboard. Invisible cars and x-ray glasses would be out of place, but ejector seats are a viable idea - hell, they've been proven plausible by the Mythbusters ;)
But one can also compare it with TSWLM no? Or perhaps even GF. Why I say GF? For me SF in a way was comparable to FRWL, gadget-wise: They both had this minor cased gadget. In FRWL it was a suitcase with golden sovereigns, a knife, and a bomb. In SF it was a tiny case with a radio transmitter and a personalized Walther PPK with palmreader. BOTH items for me felt really understated, nice and rather sophisticated.
Now, like GF, it is time to go a bit bigger, more elaborate. Not to stay very close to a novel or any other kind of writing material, but to re-invent the Aston Martin for a large audience. It was done in GF. They made the DB5 way more interesting than how it was portrayed in the novel. Now let's do it with the DB10 as well. Perhaps a bit more....realistic, as an
Now, I understand that you say the gadgets used in SP are along the lines to the creative thrust of Brosnan era action. But I really see the gadgets evolving along the lines of the Connery era.....or the Moore era.
I kind of agree with this too. The inclusion of gadgets is a twisted road that took the franchise, but has never been essential to Bond. I guess they cannot be completely avoided now. But I hope they have as little of them as possible. I would be perfectly happy with the amount we had in CR or FRWL. And the way these movies used gadgets too. Believable gadgets used sparingly.
It all depends on the way it's incorporated into the scene, and I agree, if used sparingly, it can be very effective. There must be some tension I think in order it to work.
For example, the knife in the suitcase in FRWL was used in a tense scene. The signature gun in SF was used effectively in the Patrice scene but rather obviously in the Komodo scene (where to me at least, it was less effective).
I'm sure this team knows this - they will use it carefully. I don't know about future studios and teams, but this team knows what it's doing imo.
To assume things, to criticize elements, or to worry about things at this stage in production, knowing that perhaps only ONE gadget will be used, goes too far for me. I don't expect the Aston Martin DB10 to be a submarine or the twin sister of the BMW 750. I recall in December some fans hinted at a submarine. Bullocks.
Just....just wait and see. I have high hopes. And I really think the car chase will have a very "Bullitt"-esque flair. Lots of moments where we can see Bond using his driving skills. Until the very end when someone seriously goes wrong and Bond HAS to depend on one life-saving gadget. That's what I think will be the case.
No cheesy Brosnan shit where he's on the backseat, but a pure dope skilled driver and racer: Mr Craig, Daniel Craig :-).

He's playing a "skeleton", according to the extras list...
That is in 10 days. Nice little surprise.
