Thank God!!!~ Finally good news. I like Mendes but no more for Bond.
Let's hope he sticks to it this time. Skyfall was good, but it was clear he said everything he needed to say with regards to Bond in that one.
Apparently Picker wanted Dalton replaced and he had a lot of clout at the time.
Possibly yeah, it does hint that he knows they're searching, though its hard to tell without the full interview. But then again if Craig wakes up tomorrow morning and thinks, yeah, maybe I want to do another one, then he's doing another one.
Barbara is incredibly smart and massively underrated amongst Bond fans.
Yea MGW is smart too. I don't think underrated but not all fans agree with her choices.
If we did then no one would hate QoS and DAD.
Hey, where the heck is @Wizard?
Ultimately the audience have the last word. If it sucks then we won't watch it.
I agree with that. I loved SF.
I don't think MGW ever gets stick, though. If you can find evidence to suggest otherwise I'd love to see it. On the flip side I've seen a lot of bile directed at Barbara. Neither of them can get it right every time, but in the grand scheme of things their track record is pretty impressive. They've made bad calls over the years, but they've also made fantastic ones. That's life.
True. Goodness knows I've occasionally made mistakes.
Agreed.
The one bit of criticism that I would level at the current EON regime is that there isn't a great amount of consistency. Their highs (CR, QoS, SF) are great but their lows (TWINE, DAD, SP) represent some of the worst films in the franchise. With them, you're either going to get a terrific film or you're going to get something rather poor.
That, however, is a sign of filmmakers attempting to take chances and swing for the fences. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. I wouldn't mind a bit more consistency out of them, but that's something that could come if they could ever find a decent screenwriter to take the creative reigns of the franchise.
