And yes, it was just better. :x Knowing what will happen next and what people will say leaves more time to appreciate how exactly they say what they say, how they move, facial expressions, lighting, colors, details in sets, and so on.
Damn I love it. Feeling very happy now. Still grinning...
People see Bond in different ways. There's tons of different portrayals and people like some more than others.
Relax. Nobody is right or wrong here (although I do think not seeing the new film is a bit extreme).
I'll be seeing it once tomorrow and then once on Monday with a friend. That will make it six times for me.
How many times did you see Casino Royale? just out of curiosity and which one do you prefer CR or SF?
Hope your friend enjoys it too.
You're in the same exact boat I was in. In fact, I didn't really want to see it after the first time, because of how underwhelming and, in a way, let down I was. But, I noticed a lot more the second time, and the third time let me realize that this was truly an excellent Bond film. The fourth time didn't hurt, either ;)
After reading through the pages. its nice being able to admit to 7 viewings without the need to blush ;)
4 in English fortunately and 3 in German, which was not terrible thankfully.
Laugh at me, but I loved the way he said "You know the whole story" How he pronounced the word "story" was heartbreaking and then "There is a storm coming" So tender..
I did not realise that such discussions could be used to insult people!!
You are clearly stating that I am wrong and that you are right: who do you think you are?!?
How could I ever forget the Bond franchise? It is part of history. It has been a part of my life for decades now. I just began reading "The James Bond Archives" and found it amazing. I am also a John Barry fan, the creator a the Bond music, sadly put away from the franchise in 1995 - one of the biggest mistakes in the whole series (and made after the departure of Albert Broccoli... - not a coincidence, once more).
The fact is, however, that the current producers seem to have forgotten what the Bond franchise used to be... Why do you think the 'old' Bond movies continue being so popular?
I'm not laughing at all. He can use his voice as effectively as his eyes.
They haven't forgotten. Obviously.
And why do you think the new Bond films are so popular, Skyfall especially? Many old fans (me included) have been thrilled, and the franchise has gotten lots of new fans from new generations - which is essential, too, if they want the franchise to live on. If you don't like it, that's ok, but it's your problem. The idea that the producers have no clue, or have no respect and love for the franchise is ridiculous and rather insulting - as is any implication that those who love Skyfall (a hell of a lot of people) are clueless or not actual Bond fans.
Do not forget one essential aspect of the movie making industry: most producers do not like movies; what they like is making money...
I don't. :) The franchise never would have survived if the movies hadn't been making money, and they've always aimed to pleased the audience since the beginning of the franchise - that has been specifically stated. They make the movies to the audience. That doesn't and cannot mean every single audience member, ever, that's impossible, of course. Just listening to the producers talk it's pretty obvious that they are enthusiastic and have a lot of love for Bond both old and new and indeed care a lot. Naturally they can't churn out the same stuff for 50 years - and counting. Change is inevitable and necessary to even survive and keep the franchise alive, but change will always alienate some people. However, successful change will also bring along new fans, as well as make some old fans very, very happy. They've done that. Therefore I'd say they know what they're doing - it's good for the franchise and for the majority of the audience.
Extra special appreciation of silhouettes this time. :D Beautiful.
No. :-S
That's why I asked. That happens sometimes sadly, that people don't get my messages. I will send it again. Please give me notice me, if you don't get it again. ;)
Send!
Wow. And my friends chuckled at me seeing it only five times. Congratulations!
