You're absolutely right. The only time Brosnan seduced anyone was that nobody-chick sent out to evaluate him after GE's PTS. Natalya was also the one calling the shots and instigating a bit of rumpy-pumpy. Wow, this is actually quite an interesting development.
It really was a credibility gap he failed to fill for me and had a negative effect on his tenure in my eyes, as this is a major part of the James Bond mystique, as far as I'm concerned.
Naturally. It would seem very bizarre had Craig been doing that by himself.
No argument from me here; which is why Craig was begged to take the role. He didn't want to seriously take on the role because the series had become a joke and descended into a severe case of parody. Craig wasn't getting involved with Bond if it meant having to work with the same conditions Brosnan did. Craig never and doesn't covet the role like Brosnan did.
Are you being serious? Great acting in TWINE?
...wow...well...erm...
It was a good scene but to be honest, any decent drama student could have pulled tgat scene off. Looking angry and threatening to shoot an unarmed woman in the face isn't exactly stretching one's acting talents.
Brosnan wasn't terrible and he had some good moments but overall he was a subpar Bond at best. Looking at his filmography his work on Bond was some of his weaker output. He's done much better outside of Bond and ironically enough it's mostly his post Bond work.
Yeah, he does.
I suspect the scriptwriters relied too much on Brosnan's good look. I don't think he was bad as a seducer per se, but the seduction scenes were badly written and developed.
Armchair critics you say.......on an internet forum.......say it isn't so.
True enough. Wrong thread for all this back and forth anyway. We've got the threads for it and should take it there.
‘I was at home when I got the call and rang my parents right away,’ he laughs. ‘They were delighted. I’ve done a lot of experimental theatre, so I say I’m doing a play at the Royal Court and they’re like, “Oh…” [does a look of feigned interest]. But everybody has at least heard about Bond.’ He pauses, perhaps feeling he hasn’t credited his parents with much theatrical nous, before adding, ‘Although my mum does like a bit of experimental theatre…’
Alas, he can’t say much about Spectre, nor the new series of Sherlock. (Believe me, I tried…) ‘I seem to be in the habit of doing projects that I can’t talk about because there’s a lot of secrecy attached to them,’ he sighs. ‘Plot is everything in Bond. You don’t want to give the fun away.’ Can he at least tell me about his character? ‘I play the head of an organisation called the Centre for National Security. It’s about ethics and how the new world of surveillance compares with the old world of surveillance, and the tension between them.’ He pauses: ‘And that is officially all I can say.’ I joke that he’s reading from the Bond Official Line Handbook and he affects a robot voice, complete with robot arm movements: ‘This. Is. The. Official. Line.’ He laughs. ‘Although I can tell you that I get to have lovely suits and a nice desk.’
Look's like the Snowden situation will figure heavily in the film. Which really isn't surprising at all.
And yet Forster and his DP told me they and Gassner were all very mindful of Adam and the look and high styling of 60s films, and Forster's tastes are very much part of the film (even if you have to freezeframe to be able to appreciate same.)
As for social commentary, we don't have too many examples that come to my mind as far as 'real' world and Bondfilm: you have the 'friends in low places' reference to the CIA in MR, you have the 9/11 references and you have the sociopolitical issues of QoS.
And I'd argue that the first two Young films DID look like 50s films in a lot of ways, but they were cut differently.
The style/glamour/locations,and the way they are filmed are critical to capturing the essence of Bond. I think CR did it very well. SF was amazing to look at, but I wonder if it will necessarily date as well......the saturated digital camera look may be viewed differently as years pass. SP certainly looks more classic from the trailers, but I wouldn't call it retro or evoking the 60's......it just seems quite grand, in a good way.
And yet I still don't see what your point is? Other than to be a contrarian. Which is fine.
Yeah, new vlog for sure, final poster, hopefully some character posters too (they are def overdue), theme song announcement and a final trailer at the end of the month to boot, I hope...
You naughty naughty little Brazilian BOY :D :-O :)) !
--> Do we get the title song artist and title song reveal PLUS a 6th videoblog about the Bond music ??
--> Or will we get another theatrical trailer (the 4th official trailer, after one teaser trailer, one TV trailer and one 1st full theatrical trailer) ??
Can you give us a hint? :D
...one thing is for sure. There will be another Bond, Craig's fifth of his contract. (From Total Film)
Dunno how reliable such a statement is from them, but...
let's hope it's not a sad anouncement...
