Guy Richie is a FAKE!!! Believe me. A BS merchant. Just look at the crap he has made.
Exactly Dr.
That's quite an opinion there, ColonelSun. Do you know something we don't? I like a number of his films quite a bit, that's how I judge him.
I love Lock Stock,Snatch and to a lesser degree but still really good the 2 Sherlock films...
He has been hit or miss but the first Sherlock Holmes film is a genuinely good time. Uncle is on my list to watch still.
It does appear as though movie audiences are fatigued on his style, though, and I don’t see him agreeing to do a Bond film unless he could Ritchie it up, which I don’t see Eon permitting.
I’m relatively new here, but there seems to be this hierarchy of members here, with the “first class” posters clutching their pearls any time someone “dares to impugn their honor”. It’s certainly unique on the internet, and I suspect it’s that way because it simply doesn’t work. (No disrespect to the management, but if someone tried that in communities I manage, they’d be shown the door)
While there may be some room to work on tone, the “HOW DARE YOU” police that come out any time one of the elite is questioned really are quite silly. As are the histrionics of “I have been questioned, and now I will leave unless this injustice is corrected!” being posted with regularity by certain members. Rather smacks of attention seeking.
Thank you. Someone needed to say it.
Its this thread.
Believe me,i was here from the start and did a lot to get the threads on this site off and running ,we are all not like it,but you come in this thread and you need to be prepared.
Welcome here anyway @MooreFun ..good to have you aboard.
Thanks for this exquisite post, this should be stickied among the internet and beyond.
Based on the amazingly choreographed action sequences in WW. But you turned off the movie so you wouldn't know.
I think It's more to do with people getting fed with up with the toxic rhetoric being spouted by a few posters.
Then they probably wouldn't have hired two upcoming female directors, one being highly praised for her TV and cinematography work, for their next two non-Bond films.
I never told you where I decided to turn it off. I find it a horrible film, you don't, accept it and move on. Also, since you're a relatively new member here post amount wise, you should know it's not allowed to double post.
At the end of the day we don't really know what the concept or scope for B25 is. If it's suitably scaled down, then I don't see why a 'mere tv director' (**cool it - I'm just playing around**) can't handle it.
There is the less impactful marketing element on account of a 'no name' of course. Having said that, I didn't really think Boyle made too many waves when he was announced either despite his bona fides, and actually mentioned that prior to his departure. Clarkson, as a woman in a charged environment, may actually create some positive press and marketing for a while. I'm not saying she should be hired because of her sex, but I don't think it will hurt either.
Expectations are high. The film will have to deliver. I think they need someone who can bring the best out of the cast, and they have to ensure such cast is top notch too, because that will be a key element in getting people excited for this film given they haven't recast Bond (yes I realize he has his fans, but there's a few of us and the general public who want a change too). Hire a good cinematographer and decent composer, and you're off to the races. Looking forward to some announcements shortly.
Oh and I'm not the biggest fan of Guy Ritchie, but don't think he's all bad. He's made some decent films in his day.
I joined 6 years ago (and have been lurking a lot recently) you joined last month....why does post count matter? And for some reason I'm not seeing posts I made so I'm not intentionally double posting.
A fair post by one of my favorite members *applause*. Now let's all gather around the virtual campfire and sing our favorite Bond tunes. In the end it's all about peace and love and perhaps some gun fights. Maybe an explosion here and there, too.
No this account is actually older than that and I had an account before and before that as well. Been lurking here from the very beginning, actually. But who's counting anyway.
This is getting ridiculous. Where were you last month when this thread was an off topic compilation of sterile complaints about Spectre and futile frustration against Craig and Barbara?
Having said that, I agree that an announcement is needed. ;)
BTW thank you @MooreFun for your wise words.
JeremyBondon probably thinks Forster directed SPECTRE and Mendes directed QoS, that's the only sensible explanation.
+1
I don't know, I think his Holmes movies are much better than the BBC series. But I wouldn't want him direct a Bond movie.
.Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels
.Snatch
.Sherlock Holmes 1 and 2
.The Man from UNCLE
All good flicks. Hell, I wish he'd done SP instead of Mendes. He's done some shit films but some great ones too.
Totally agree - and the films you've listed there are all films I enjoy. Wonder what I'm not seeing, as other here call him a BS merchant and whatnot.
I gather some like him but he's not for me but if he got the gig I'd give it a shot to see if he delivered the goods despite what I thought of his previous work.
To be honest his producer mate in my view directed a much better film than anything than he did with Layer Cake, it even took the piss out of Lock Stock with the Duke character well that is what I took from it.
So we know Demange is developing some kind of remake of a Ken Loach movie. He talks about it quite passionately so he’s probably out of the equation now. Like 99%.
I wonder if they’re really trying to steal McQuarrie from Cruise, as Justin Kroll suggested two times on Twitter... (yes I know he’s american but we’re also in 2018).
