So you imply that TMWTGG is bad? Just for your information, that film is still to be topped, not just in the Bond series, but in the movie industry. And JW Pepper was awesome.
I'm just happy he is still alive and has that same smile.
But no, his time for the character was back in the 80's. They could have brought him back one more time easily, but alas, did not.
People really like this character or loathe him. I was amused by him (but I could not take larger doses; a little JW Peppah goes a long way).
Bad? That's an understatement, it's insipid.
You must have some personal problem with the movie. I don´t think it´s possible to dislike it if one looks at it objectively.
EVERYBODY HAS OPINIONS. Why are those who can't seem to grasp that concept without sparking a fiery debate still here? If you don't like what they have to say:
the most you should do is say, 'hey man, that's your opinion and all, be mindful'
and the least you sould do is what I do and move on.
SHEESH. 'For your information' should never be followed with an opinion.
You know, for real I accept his opinion. I´m just defending the movie in a not so serious manner, because of the fun of it. I´d never seriously state that my opinion is a fact. Never!
I loathe the entire Moore era, but TSWLM is the only film of his that's anywhere near bearable for me to sit through.
1. TSWLM
2. OP
3. LALD
4. FYEO
5. MR
6. TMWTGG
7. AVTAK
I´m not gonna tell you how wrong you are, as some people will hang me if I do, but I still think to myself "how is this possible". All those movies are in my top 10.
Great news! BTW, who or what is B?
Major spoiler alert:
Hot damn, boy! It seems very few Bond fans want him back...
THERE CAN'T BE A CONNECTION, COULD THERE?? *Sarcasm alert*
Why would you want to see Craig in that silly little toy? Seeing Sean wearing that white Polo helmet with a camera (or whatever it was) wasn't enough for you? Honestly don't you think someone could take that thing down with like a single bullet?
Plus, seeing a senile JW in a wheelchair is going to make him look even more useless than he already was. "Now pay attention boy, this here is one of them old Gyrocopters, you hear? Heeeyaww!! <):)
Each entitled to his own opinion etc, etc blah blah blah but just have a look at what 007RogerMoore has written there:
That TMWTGG is the best film EVER MADE!!?!??!?
Thats not an opinion thats the result of the kind of cranial trauma you receive when someone drops an anvil on you from 10 storeys up.
You have surpassed yourself this time 007RogerMoore.
Back to JW - cant believe I'm saying this but I wouldnt be entirely averse to a tiny cameo in SF.
Let me qualify that - just a single shot (no more than say 3 seconds long) of him standing outside Buck house or Big Ben dressed up like a stereotypical American tourist that the fans would notice but the general public wouldnt necessarily. I wouldnt let him have any lines though. Well maybe just saying to a bobby 'how about a picture boy?' or something - but that would be it. Just a little wink to the fans like the brief shot of the ark in KOTCS.
Also while we're at it why not dig up that bloke who looks at his bottle from TSWLM, MR and FYEO? Again just a 3 second shot.
Obviously you have a specific taste in Bond films that few people - very few people - can agree with. ;-)
As for TMWTGG... Are you merely saying this to please DC007 or are you trying to stir up some controversy? OR are you indeed convinced that this film with one of the weakest, most logic defying scripts, cooked up in no time for the mere sake of thriving on the success of LALD, presenting a lead girl who is an insult to the character from Fleming's novel and giving Bond a climactic battle with a midget, is the epitome of filmmaking? Seriously, if you think this is the best film ever made, you either haven't seen a lot of films or you've only picked the worst of the worst. Now, I'm not saying TMWTGG isn't an entertaining film. There are plenty of things in it I can enjoy. But to lift it above the likes of FRWL, TB, OHMSS, ... all of them films which to the trained movie goer are more competently made and better scripted , and which to loyal Fleming readers are a lot closer to the source material than TMWTGG, is particularly ... unusual.
I am completely honest about TMWTGG being by far my favorite movie. It has everything, except for gadgets. It just hit the jackpot. And you can ask Mr.Bond, whom I have known for a long time, and you will find out that I stated this fact one year ago in the swedish forum. It´s just that me and DC007 realise the greatness in the movie. If you don´t believe me about Crab_Of_Doom being my twin brother, he can witness about it too.
And I'm still not sure about the wisdom of casting a young Q. Seen it in XXX and MI and its conspicuously trying to appeal to the young generation rather than have an old professor type person a la Desmond.
Seing Connery in it was good, but it would make a great sequence in SF if he used it again and was attacked my MIGs or whatever.
