And I’m actually dead serious. I would love to see a bugnuts modern Bond film in that style.
I think he was onto something.
EON once offered Joe Dante a Bond film (it was TWINE, oddly), maybe they should give him another offer.
I think the word 'formula' is losing its meaning.
Is the joke there that larger tree branches are technically referred to as limbs? Oof. You can see why the films have good writers doing this stuff! :D
I like that Bond has adopted Sterling Archer's Gator look there (with his own addition of fetish club gloves) :)
Stupid................ :-O
I thought people understood that the reason for this is because it takes years to film a movie, produce it, promote it and release it. The missions Bond goes on from Dr No to DAD are only supposed to be within, I'd say, roughly an 8 to 10 year span. Some artistic licence is used as you couldn't put together 20 movies in 8 yrs. As a result, you change actor and ask the audience to ignore some films are set in the 60s and some in the 90s. It's no more unrealistic than people bursting into song in a musical, it's artistic licence.
NTTD will forever remain missing from my DVD collection, it doesn't deserve a place. Those that liked this soppy, cliched, mess, don't have to be so offended that others don't like it.
Yes, Craig's era was a different take, originally a fresh take, on Bond. Unfortunately, they took it far too far in an awful direction.
Here's hoping the next movie is as far removed from NTTD as CR was from DAD.
It’s also because most films were stand-alone stories anyway, so there was no need to address how it’s possible Pierce Brosnan could have fought Doctor No. All that mattered as far as Brosnan’s run was concerned was that he was a veteran of the Cold War.
But because Craig’s run had an explicit start and emphasized continuity between films and even the fact that his Bond aged, that would have made a transition to a new younger actor be a bit awkward compared to previous transitions. However Craig’s run would end, I think a reboot, soft or not, would have been inevitable.
I think if you come to a forum where fans of the Bond films talk about Bond films you have to be prepared that Bond film fans will defend the thing they're a fan of.
Absolutely agree, which is why I don't understand comments earlier in this thread from NTTD lovers complaining that those of us that don't like it, should stop going on about it.
Some people bought into it, some hated it. The haters of NTTD are just as entitled to vent as the lovers of it.
More cgi nonsense............. :-O :-O
I'm not sure that is agreeing with what I said... :)
More Oscar nominated CGI nonsense I think you'll find ;)
What makes it CGI nonsense?
Man. Where do I begin?
First, do some research on Fleming and his connection to Carl Jung. This was an "untapped" resource for the writers and directors, and it plays an important role in the Craig era. Go back and review DC's five films and look at how mirror images play a HUGE role in them, especially the CR PTS. We see...two Jameses. That, my friend, is the cinematic equivalent of Jung's "duality of man."
No, Bond is NOT looking for adventure. Now, I have not read all of Fleming's work, but from what I have read, THIS IS A JOB. And there is an existential crisis that Fleming's Bond is continually battling. Dalton was the first actor to tap into this anguish.
And I'm not sure what things SF has that should not be in a Bond film. I know that SF doesn't have a Tarzan yell, Beach Boys music, slide whistles, invisible cars, double-taking pigeons, space lazers, etc.
But setting all of that aside, yes: the franchise made a lot of money with DC and the films were critical successes. He's beloved as Bond; he will be missed; and this era will be looked back on with fondness by millions of fans for decades to come.
As for M, Bond didn't know that the weapons at Skyfall were sold and he wasn't with M when she was shot by one of Silva's men.
It belongs in a cartoon, not a bond film........... :)>-
You feel that way about every instance of CGI used?
That's the thing, though, @EDDIEVH ... Most ppl who liked the film aren't offended that others didn't like it. I see plenty stressing to a poster who had a negative reaction to the film, that they see their point of view. However;
I think those who liked NTTD are tired of seeing the same members of this forum-- one who hasn't even seen the film (lol!)-- coming on here and pissing moaning and repeating the same things over and over and over and over as if this film was designed to target and butt-hurt them.
In the end, the creatives made the film they wanted to make and one they thought most ppl would enjoy. They were correct-- most did enjoy it!
You and others didn't like it. What can you do about it? It's the film that was released. And we have heard all your protestations: you hate it, it was dumb, the ending was lazy and you're not going to watch the film again, let alone purchase it. We've heard you. We've heard you....
The good news is, you can watch 20 plus Bond films!
And in a few short years, that greedy, ego-driven and arrogant buffoon,-- Daniel Craig, of course!--will no longer be in the role!!
And you may adore this new direction!!!
Or, because that's the nature of story-telling, you may dislike it even more than this era... And then what?....
Something about the way it seamlessly slips under the water seems vaguely impossible to me, but maybe it is possible? I don't know.
I must admit I do think there is a bit of a lack of spectacle about that bit. It doesn't look real and it doesn't really even do anything so I tend to gloss over at it.
Yikes. The extent people will go to berate a Bond actor, just because they may not like their particular style.
He and Connery are my tops, 👍
