Didn’t she insinuate that Mathis was cheap? That he only buys cheap wine?
Perhaps she’s like: right, with him gone, I can sell this place, travel the world into my old age, drinking the finest wine to my heart’s content…
(joking)
Go back and work on your tan!
Mathis wasn't nice to people aside from Bond. Did you see how he talked to the taxi driver who was giving essential plot details?
Regarding Gemma: she wanted René's hands on her skin.
That says it all to me.
For Mathis, she was good.....
Surprised Bond didn't go back for her after Camille left him.
She went back to help the Bolivian government with organising the return of the water reserves, replanishing
Call me a roamantic, but I think she and Mathis had been together for quite some time. They bicker like an old loving couple. But she does have the look on her face knowing that his old profession was getting back at him and taking him away from her.
And Happy 8th SP too.
Somebody said elsewhere it may have to do with international versions and subtitles, where all on-screen text is removed so it can be replaced with the native language version of whoever is streaming it. In this case, they probably removed the location title cards entirely and didn't replace them.
I'm so glad I still own these on physical blu-ray because I'd be very bummed to stream this and have parts of the movie missing.
@dramaticscenesofQOS, I'll always be here, ready and waiting for any sort of QoS re-release with director's commentary, deleted scenes, and anything else that's new that they'd like to throw my way.
Delenda Carthago: I want my series of graphic novels set between QOS and SF.
I might write something in the fanfic section. Never done that before.
Since the 007 video game universe has gone into all kinds of directions (remakes, fiction like with Legends, direct sequels that never saw the big screen like Bloodstone).....imagine the money EON could make licensing if Timothy Dalton got his third unmade Bond movie done as a AI assisted video game using his likes and voice with de-aging graphics. Having the Bond actors themselves given some creative directional privileges to help his interpretation shine....
George Lazenby can have a video game direct sequel to OHMSS and make up for the failure that was DAF.
Pierce Brosnan can have a better direct sequel to Goldeneye than TND ever was. Or he can be given the Quentin Tarantino based script of what never was of CR for his own game.
Since the pool of potential directors is quite full right now and it seems like Christopher Nolan's rightfully got the long overdue edge on getting to make Bond 26....people like Martin Campbell whose talents can't wait for too long can be utilized with the legacy sequel based video games by serving as director.
Martin Campbell helped make GE and CR memorable with new Bond actors. His challenge will be to re-establish the forgotten ones back to solidifying their presence. Remember in CR and GE there were shots of each first time Bond actor with close ups on their eyes as they regained consciousness in a critical situation?
The lack of revenge against Irma Bunt is one of the bigger missed opportunities of the series.
Absolutely.
It didn't help that the actress who plays her passed away shortly after OHMSS released. But it wasn't impossible....I mean Blofeld was constantly played by a completely different style of actor with each film at the time.
One of the reasons I like Mr. White more than Blofeld is because he is very credible, realistic, and consistent with the actor. Daniel Craig's era fixed a lot of what was wrong before.
I don’t think it’ll quite crack my top ten just yet, but I’m sure it’ll jump a few spots higher than it is.
It’s a great follow up to CR, and the shorter running time helps after the lengthy CR.
Ah, we've converted another! Good for you @Benny! Its seriously rivalling CR as my favourite Craig Bond movie!
You're slowly witnessing the error of your ways and coming to the right side of history!
In all seriousness, I'm glad to hear it. There's nothing better than slowly but surely warming to a Bond installment you previously didn't like. I've been that way with MR over the past several years; now I love it.
That being said (as I did then), part of the increased appreciation with each viewing is that you always discover or understand some things that you simply missed the first or all of the previous time you watched it, due to what I still think is absolutely abominable editing. I keep hating that - it's as much a waste of perfectly good film stock as is the "Moscow" (actually filmed in Berlin) tunnel chase in The Bourne Supremacy. I wish they'd recut QOS, it can only get better that way. It has almost always been lingering as my sixth-to-last (rank 20 of now 25) because of this issue, just ahead of Octopussy and my "Quartet of Shame", i.e. DAF, AVTAK, TWINE and inevitably DAD.
I don't think so. Many fans don't like DAF and we have 7 Roger Moore movies.
Craig's Bond have 2 good movies (Casino Royale and Skyfall). QoS is Craig's DAF.
Some fans are still asking for a OHMSS sequel.
@DEKE_RIVERS is just young and will see the error of his ways eventually. QoS works slowly but surely. It even converted @Benny .
Great, great! =D>
