Fair point.
Although I think you'll find that the scene in FYEO was the new Bond visiting his predecessor's wife's grave so it's still never been properly addressed. Weren't you paying attention in the codename theory thread @Birdleson?
1. You're probably right in what you say and it does feel like he's phoning it in a little in SP compared to the other three films but I'm loathed to let the best Bond since Sean go so easily.
2. Can't honestly say I've seen Turner in anything so difficult to say if your fetish for him is justified. He looks the part I suppose but then so did Brozza.
3. Well it's an ending you are right in that respect. But a pretty pisspoor one if it turns out to be Dan's final film. The villain (and not just any villain but Blofeld) ends up in nick! What sort of ending is that? This is Bond not Dixon of Dock Green.
If it doesn't make profit it is a bomb.
If it automatically should make 1.5 billion and doesn't even hit a billion, it is a bomb.
No way the New Yorker published that. Must be a misattribution.
But for sure!

Not me! :D
I'm still fairly convinced both him and Craig will come back.
IMDB isn't a trustworthy site, as it can be edited by anyone, like Wikipedia.
I seriously doubt the "delay" is due to Mendes. I think that they're still very well on-schedule for a 2018 release, which was always going to be the earliest date for the next one. The absence of news at this point, IMO, is due to the fact that there is no distributor.
There are those calling EON "lazy" for not having done anything in the roughly six months since Spectre released, but there literally isn't anything that they can do at this point. There's no distribution deal for them, which means they can't make a movie yet. The distributor, for better or worse, is going to want to have some input since they'll basically be coming on board to keep the life support machines attached to MGM humming along.
I can only assume that second part is directed elsewhere, then, since you misconstrued what I said.
Interesting. So working on the assumption that they have a distributor by the end of the year, do you think it's more likely that they'll keep on schedule, or push things back till 2019?
My apologies, I misunderstood what you wrote. No malice was intended either way, though, just a simple disagreement with what I thought you were trying to say. Again, my apologies.
And, yes, you're absolutely correct, the second part was absolutely not directed your way. I just simply find it a bit tiring, and childish frankly, to read comments that rake EON over the coals for not having any news about Bond 25 to release when the situation is not in their control, plus the fact that we're not all that far removed from the last one being released. EON can't move on the next film until MGM's situation is squared away.
Same here. We've had two Nolan-esque Bond films brought to us by Mendes. I have no desire to see another film in that style. Time for something new.
There are plenty of other directions that they can go. There are many directors better than Nolan who EON could go out and hire and take the film in many other directions than the direction Nolan would take things.
I feel your pain. But at least you young whippersnappers have the luxury of popping a DVD into the player any time your hankering for a glimpse of Mr. Bond is impossible to overcome. In the "olden" days, other than holding out hope for the infrequent re-release, one REALLY learned the meaning of a "long time". After a new Bond-a-year through TB, the year-and-a-half wait for YOLT (with only the appearance of a DN/GF double bill to tide one over in the interim) was a killer.
