Personally I spilled my popcorn everywhere in the theater when they told me Patrice was Spectre, Damn. And who else has been Spectre all allong? What about Dryden? That would explain so much and make Casino Royale so much more enjoyable in retrospect. Explain so much. That would explain how Max Denbigh got hired at MI6 in the first place. The very first mole. Clearly the British Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (palyed by Tim Pigott-Smith in Quantum Of Solace) was also compromised by Blofeld as well. He doesn't want Bond to win. If you watch closely, all the clues are there.
And how far does Spectre's control of the Bolivian police extend? I would also love to see an expanded role for the fat unfriendly German from Casino Royale... Goldfinger is back. There's so much to explore still. Craig better come back for another one. Let's figure it out.
They could have made much more of it all by simply having lots of minor villain actors from CR, QOS and SF sitting round the table in the SP board meeting. I'm annoyed they didn't do this!
He still hasn't tidied up that one from Goldfinger.
The next Bond film will certainly be Bond vs environmentalists. It will feature the most boring and uneventful car-chase ever; an Aston pursued by a Prius.
1979's For Your Eyes Only...what would it have looked like? Considering the intentional restraint shown by EON in 1981 with returning Bond to earth with FYEO - what would the follow up have looked like - still in the Moonraker vein? A rehash of TSWLM. Would the more serious Fleming elements of FYEO have survived if it had been made in 79? I'm guessing that they had moved so far away from Fleming by 79 - that it would have continued doing the bigger is better approach.
Maybe MR would have been more faithfully adapted in 1981 when EON would go down to earth again after the bombastic TSWLM in 1977 and FYEO in 1979?
Well, yes, I imagine you are right, especially given the MR novel's more outlandish material.
A very interesting question, by the way.
Err because Q clearly deactivates it.
It would be very easy here to make some crack about a 'dummy' but it's beneath me.
Good one! :))
And why the does he steal a car from MI6? JESUS!
He was never this badly behaved inthe old ones!
Sad but true. It's obvious that the recent Bond films carry nothing but the Bond character name in their stories. Bond was never this thuggish, or bad mannered. Whilst he bent the rules, he always remained a pro. The Sam Mendes films have failed as far as I'm concerned in the story telling and continuation of the Daniel Craig style that was so well played in both Casino Royale and Quantum Of Solace.
Why the need to make him a bogan thug, who disregards orders, makes massive errors and are basically both homages to past movies. It doesn't help that Spectre is just Skyfall re-tweaked.
"You'll never know how I watched you from the shadows as a child."
Could this be a reference to that? Speaking of a young, inexperienced MI6 agent Bond as a "child" watching and learning from Trevelyan?
Ahh... I see. Thanks @ClarkDevlin
I know she auditioned for Moneypenny and then got the role of recurring role Sylvia Trench, Bond's girlfriend.
But why did they drop her after FRWL?
And would you have liked her to be around for the other 3 Connery movies GF-TB-YOLT?
Furthermore I wonder if keeping her as a girlfriend when Bond would get laid at any opportunity with other women is something "out of character" for the cinematic (and written) Bond.
In FRWL Bond seems to get along with Trench very well. So was she only his "fu**-buddy" to use the modern term? Or was she indeed his girl-friend?
Or was it simply illogical to have her back in FRWL at all?
Personally, I don't care much for the plan I've heard of -- to have her be the plot focus of a film after being being established as a recurring minor character for 3 or 4 films -- so it doesn't bother me that she just sort of faded from view after FRWL. Bond really isn't the kind to have a long-running girl friend, she was indeed just a "modern-term" buddy.
