TB - 2
SP - 17
This won't be changing any time soon, I can assure you.
You like CR'67, did I read that right. Oh boy, did I even misjudge you? I mean CR'67 is the epitome of a Bond movie, I will never understand how such garbage as produced today can even compare to it.
In the medium term Spectre's fate is more or less sealed: the wider public see it as the disappointing follow-up to Skyfall.
My sister was underwhelmed by Spectre, literally telling me 'it just didn't feel like a Bond movie.' Her knowledge of what a Bond movie is like? Skyfall. That's the only other one she had seen. As other people have pointed out, Skyfall worked as the perfect zeitgeist-y movie (where MR and DAD were maybe less than perfect zeitgeist-y movies). It meant a lot of people saw it that might not otherwise be interested in a Bond film, and when they came to Spectre, which was so much more throw-back in its content and tone, they were disappointed that it didn't give them the same feels.
In the longue durée, whether Spectre is appreciated or not is going to depend on what you want from a particular Bond film in a particular moment. When it's just one of many on a shelf, its going to be all about your mood and your proclivities as you're thinking about what you want to watch.
For me, I've already filed it alongside DAF as my ideal Bond movie: campy, chilled out, knowing, with some cool shit to look at and a handful of vicarious thrills. But I'm a Sunday afternoon after a few beers Bond-watcher.
Happy landings, old boy! May I compliment you on your taste in Bond! I'm absolutely loopy about DAF, too. Very underrated IMO.
You are talking to me because I'm intelligent, eloquent and well-informed about Bond.
SP and TB ranking close together....ha ha....best joke ever.
When everybody knows, TB is Moore's worst Bond by far.
:-@
Well I have to put you to sleep now...I mean I have to sleep now. You know, sleeping as in giving your brain (as little as there might be) a well-deserved rest.
Maybe tomorrow you wake up and realise what an imbecile you are to rank TB next to SP.
Really, Brosnan is so much better than Moore.
SP rocks, Brosnan has never been better. Ha!
I don't have the exact ranking, but I'm around there somewhere, too.
The underwater scenes in TB tend to become boring as the number of viewings increases, but the rest of the film is perfect, IMO. Connery is effortlessly great.
Any sign of a mod intervening in this childish tit for tat?
Although for the record TB is a dull plod of a film. For the definitive SPECTRE meeting scene, anything with Fiona and Sean in the Shrublands scenes not to mention its technical accomplishments TB manages to scrape together enough points to get out of the relegation zone but SP is a long way clear in solid midtable territory although never troubling the Champions League spots.
A Crystal Palace and a Stoke, respectively if you will.
Who is leicester?
Now if every time some posters engage in childish tit for tat (let's say for instance: SP good/bad or SF better than SP or not), the mods would have to intervene, they would have a full time job at their hands with lots of extra hours.
Yes, I'm sorry too about calling you a twit.
TB is such a fine movie, really. SP as well and they go hand in hand.
In fact they should be married.
*virtual hug*
We're Bond fans, man!
Very difficult to say. I'd have OHMSS and FRWL as Liverpool and Utd - true classics and with a solid history behind them.
DN - Arsenal: Another classic but not quite up to the standard of the big two.
TB = Spurs: Thinks of itself as one of the elite but always just falls a bit short.
CR = Chelsea: Modern day success and these days has to be regarded as a big hitter up there with the classics.
SF = Man City: Far from universally popular but the sheer money involved makes you sit up and take notice.
But Leicester? A film that was thought to be shit but is now almost universally liked? QOS maybe?
Yes, totally. I can't believe the fight we had over stupid things like that.
I mean we all agree that Brosnan just rocks in SP and TB has the best underwater scenes since GF.
XOXO ^:)^ :\"> :D
Good point. Would that actually make SP the current Man U team? Spent a shitload to achieve distinctly average results.
Yay!! No more fighting. You both rock. And I like cheese.
Since I am not a Spectre lover, I'd say probably yes. One could also call it the Man City, some may even call it the current Chelsea.
This is the perfect review of SP.
