I could only imagine in Cubby’s day one film would be wrapped, and with a little break in between, they would start cranking out the next film.
With the production costs today, the complexities of shooting big budget tent pole films, the flooded marketplace, and being an indie company, I can’t see EoN having the man power to churn out a film every other year (unless they planned back to back shoots, or as close to that model as would be acceptable to cast/crew).
In fairness I think my view of the character is coloured by the FRWL and TB interpretations. That cold, detached, methodical and calculating villain. Much like DN. Blofeld should have been curious about Bond and much like DN became dismissive when they finally met. 'Unfortunately I misjudged you - you are just stupid policeman.' It's a perfect dismissive attitude and one you know the villain believes.
There is a chance for Waltz to redeem the character - but only if he approaches it differently and the script deals with the character appropriately. Bond has always been the fly in Blofeld's ointment - not the other way around (except for the brief splash of revenge at the end of OHMSS). So I'd prefer to see Blofeld go about his merry business and Bond force himself back into his world rather than the reverse.
5) You are of course completely allowed to your opinion, but you are kidding yourself with these theories of yours. SF is and will remain the bond movie in which truly nothing fits together. SP isn't far behind though. The Mendes touch, if you will.
How I felt. That Spectre final act is dreadful, everything is fine until they reach Blofeld's lair in the desert. Waltz only comes alive in the final scenes. The rushed love story between Bond and Swan was mental.
Moreover, if Blofeld is to return in B25, we will have to deal with this stuff again. Hopefully they will write a better and more threatening character and will forget the "step-brother" angle, but it will be hard to watch the movie all the while ignoring that Blofeld was "the author of Bond's pain" because of jealousy.
Out of the trilogy, I only like Batman Begins.
She's just being professional and not revealing anything because a deal has not been locked down yet, but her, "Watch this space," comment strongly suggests to me that a deal is very close.
Why would you want to analyze it on a superficial level? SF is the one Bond film in which you need to pay close attention to the dialogue. In particular, pay close attention to everything that is said on the island and then, as Robert Plant once sang, "All will be revealed."
Trust me, the holes that SF's critics think are there are not there...or can be easily explained based on what is actually IN the film.
I have read lines like this many times on this forum, but if you are brave enough to face the truth I'm willing to prove you otherwise. Just write down anything you think fits together in SF on a logical basis and I will tell you why it doesn't. Just for the sake of not derailing this thread I would suggest either using the Skyfall thread or just mailing me privately. Also, to compare Skyfalls logic with Bond's of the past is simply not fair. Not because the new Bonds are trying to be more realistic but most of all because those old movies might have had the logic problems but most of the time if you were willing to just accept their premises (like a lair in a hollowed out vulcano for example ) they for large parts where quite logically in themselves. For instance, you might consider that a movie like DAD has actually only one real plot hole and that is how Graves manages a) to get recognized by the royals and - most of all - how he manages to qualify for a knighthood in that short time.
Somehow I really find it amusing how you Skyfall fans keep clinging on your delusions ( especially by considering anyone, who doesn't share your opinions simply not being able to get that intellectual wonder that Skyfall supposedly is). On the other hand, as a lover of storylines and development I find it quite depressing, since the message you are giving to the industry is: " hey guys, don't bother with story development or trifles like that. Just give us melodrama, tears and bleakness and we are happy."
Its interesting points you are all making,so make it in the right place.
I agree. Thanks...
