Actually, it's the British equivalent of "eff you," when the back of the hand is shown to the viewer.
I realize he was 'flicking the v'. Just thought it more polite to come up with something else to describe it. This is a 'pg' thread after all... ;)
O:-)
I love how they've filmed Bond in his flat. I hope we see the inside but I won't be getting my hopes up on that one.
It would be really nice if they capitalised on Bond's good taste for fine wines and food. This is a huge facet that's been missing from the films for ages now. They need some of this dialogue. The charm of the literary Bond is that to the uninformed he is a solely a charming, suave, Carey Grant type character and somewhat of a conoisseur. The other side of him is that of a dangerous, dark, ruthless man. It is this contrast that makes the book Bond so appealing. This facet needs to be mirrored in the films otherwise he's pretty much just a well dressed action man.
Well, that's something, but it didn't make the final cut anyway. I'm talking though about how Bond would refer to the year of wines in the Connery and Moore films.
What happened? Why have they omitted all of this from the newer films?
In the books he'd make comments about expenisve food such as how the problem when ordering caviar is not how to get enough caviar but enough toast to go with it.
I think "Skyfall" was a movie that paid tribute to several aspects:
--> Britishness (Scotland and London)
--> Cold feeling because of the cold approach (weather, etc.)
--> Personal Revenge and Motivations (Silva, Bond, M)
--> Espionage on the whole (necessity of secret intelligence communities)
--> A secret agent that doesn't have much control over his work
--> Complex characters and relationships
--> Comparable to FRWL and DN (smaller, more personal villain schemes)
But I think "SPECTRE" will be more about:
--> Exotic and luxury locale a la Terence Young (Austria, Wintersports, Mexico, Desert Express)
--> Despite the wintery parts, I think this movie will feel warmer (more sun)
--> More lighthearted relationships between several characters
--> Crime on the whole, a larger, less personal scheme (S.P.E.C.T.R.E., Blofeld)
--> The film that connects all previous three (CR, QOS & SF)
--> A secret agent that is slightly more in control of his mission
--> Comparable to OHMSS and TB (bigger, less personal, more world-threatening scheme)
In the end I think both SF and SPECTRE will feel very Terence Young-esque (Also CR for me is very Terence Young-esque). But the latter, SPECTRE, will be the bigger one.
I can't wait to SEE THIS NEW SAM MENDES JAMES BOND FILM. I WANT IT NOW! Ok? 8-}
I agree, that would be nice and seemingly, they took a step in the right direction here.
Of course, it could be justt Bond looking down on MP, which results in not much more. But I have a feeling, there will be a woman in that bed.
The words regarding Bond's apartment being sold were not cut--they were delivered by M in the scene where Bond breaks into her home (again, after she told him NOT to ever do it again, in CR!!! LOL). But the bit about books and wine bottles was not said by anyone.
Ok, I just realized that M has a completely different apartment in Skfall... This is like how she had a completely new office in every single film, which is a big joke. How about some continuity???
I read an article stating that they would be filming the scenes inside his flat at pinewood, so we will get to see inside!
Really? You're not pulling my leg? I thought that if they were to shoot scenes in Bond's flat, that they would be done at Pinewood. They have a huge budget. They don't need to find an apartment.
I have expressed a desire that they shoot in Bond's pad since TWINE. Finally, it might happen. We need to see some more of these personal facets.
I've always hoped that Spectre would be back too. I always hoped that Quantum would either re-brand themselves, or that the remaining members would form a new organisation known as SPECTRE.
I'd actually rather see an empty whisky glass and half empty decanter next to a tray of cigarette butts and a black ronson. I don't like the idea he's a gym bunny. I prefer the dichotomy that he lives to excess, but can be a beast when the moment calls for it.
Oops my bad, completely forgot which thread I was on. Just saw the word 'spoiler' and thought I was in the other one.
