And we love our Bond films to make sense don't we? ;)
Campbell and EON felt "no matter how much you muck up the timeline, you can't get rid of Judi Dench".
Make of that what you will.
Well Judi Dench is awesome after all :p
"We have people everywhere. I thought that was just hyperbole. Florists say that.."
Good line.
TND: (responding to a comment made about not having the 'balls' for the job) "Perhaps.. but the advantage is is that I don't have to think with them all the time."
TWINE: "Shadows stay in front or behind, never on top."
DAD: "You're no use to anyone now."
CR: "How the hell does he know these things?"
QOS: "I think you're blinded by such inconsolable rage, that you don't care who you hurt. And when you can't tell your friends from your enemies it's time to go."
And really, continuity has never been a big concern in the franchise so who cares if the 'reboot' brought Dench back. She's always looked old any way, so you can't really place her in time.
meh. I thought she was good in GE and TND, I thought she was GREAT in TWINE, but after that she's really been overused and its not a good thing. TWINE was original having M involved more but since then we've been seeing what I think is too much of her. I'm a bit skeptical about skyfall because I thought we'd been seeing too much of M, then its announced we have an M focused plot, ugh. The film will probably be good but I'd rather she'd taken a backseat for this one. Get a bernard lee type next, man or woman, I don't care as long as they're less involved.
On topic, I like the sexist dinosaur thing in GE.
You put it so well! I whole heartedly agree on this one! :))
Yes she is a good actress. Its nothing to do with her being a woman though, its that recently she's become over involved, and me and others would prefer it if M let bond get on with it instead of trying to be his mum. It was original in TWINE but now its old, its tired, and its boring. Let bond be bond without M holding his hand saying she needs to trust him.
Her most prophetic line.
The mysoginist dinosaur bit is my actual favorite.
A great point. People who hate Dame Judi for continuity issues don't seem to have an issue with Charles Gray in two roles, or Joe Don Baker in two. Or the many recasts of Blofeld. Or Leiter.
It really feels like sexism sometimes.
Or that fans have selective memories.
"Bond, this may be too much for a blunt instrument to understand, but arrogance and self-awareness seldom go hand in hand."
It's an interesting analysis that M gives to Bond.
"Any thug can kill, I want you to take your ego out of the equation and justify the situation dispassionately."
The way Dench pronounces theses sentences... very strong.
Bond: "I never knew that M stood for...--"
M: "UTTER ANOTHER SYLLABLE AND I'LL HAVE YOU KILLED!"
I'll miss that woman.
"I f***ed this up, didn't I?"
It's just the culmination of all the events she was responsible for throughout SF, all into one depressed line.
