    I publish once in a while, and I'd disagree. I don't think the problem is 'positivity', per se, but newsworthiness. This is a "dog bites man" vs. "man bites dog" situation.

    "Bond fans support Bond Movie on Bond Website" is not news, and it wouldn't be published by an editor who had a regular slate on his hands. Perhaps there's a fresh angle to be taken on this, or someone could use this as a starting point for a thoughtful essay on tabloid culture or something. But on the surface of it . . . there's nothing there.
    Look, I understand and agree that the tabloids are being ridiculous and vicious against this movie, but the idea that this is some sort of crime being committed that we need to take a stand on is exaggerated as well.

    The world is not going to end because the latest James Bond movie is a target of fake news.

    At the end of the day, if the film is great, we (and the filmmakers) have the last laugh.

    but it doesn't mean that I don't respect that everyone has a right to an opinion or value what others are trying to say

    That's all very good and dandy, this all "everyone has the right to an opinion" albeit being savvy or not on the matter, and everything has the same value blah blah, but as soon as you consider that socio and psychopathological stances like racism, xenophobia, bigotry, fundamentalism, ..., are "opinions" or taken higher than opinions, you loose your point entirely. It's not as if the forums task to prevent badly drawn or unsanitary opinions, no, it's up to the sane majority or the more informed fans to make them go away by their own foot. Not every opinion is valid, sir. Everything doesn't hold the same value. That rhetoric was profusely used, for example, by the British government in the years that lead to the second world war, and it allowed for a fungus known as the National Social Party to grow inside Germany, a fungus that would soon consume it and then the rest of us, if some more informed, capable and better oriented people hadn't stepped in, and against the grain put an island and then the world against it.

    This is the wrong thread for all of this, and has been since day one. I do not advocate moderator action on expelling members and censorship. It's up to better oriented fan majorities to do so. Uniting against prejudice, bigotry, paranoia, cheapness of thought, ... If all we do is nothing, we get 2510 pages of trite, with 500, if so, pages of stuff for the books.

    And why shouldn't we take a stance against the tabloids? And why shouldn't we make that news? "Fans are appalled of wrong and damaging tabloid action against film", "Fans stand by the production and the producers",... Now that's something I'd like to see. We could very well have a petition, write a bloody article and send it to Variety. I'm sure that would get good printing, or clicking or whatever.

    Just saying. Now, do carry on.

    All very well said my dear man but I'm afraid you may have, in your rather well written response, missed the point I was originally trying to make. The partial quote was taken from my wider post whereby I was attempting to encourage the "doomsayers" (for want of a better word) on this forum to not instantly dismiss the opinions of those trying to speak sense - the wider idea is that everyone should listen to what another person has to say, as if you don't, how can you be expected to be listened to, learn or express yourself? How can you come to understand why someone has come to such a negative viewpoint?

    I find it has been a wider part of my narrative since joining the forum: to combat the negativity, the falsehoods, the sexism and whatever else. Indeed as I said similarly in another topic today - there are people who - in light of increasingly shoddy journalism - are determined to prove that two plus two equals five and decree this film is ruined. I'm not one of those people. I'm on a james bond forum because I am happy to see the production of another james bond film. Simple. If others are unhappy about the franchise, then I'll observe their opinions and offer my either simialir or alternative view. Thus is discussion.

    My posts are contextualised in the light of this forum, not general life. Ergo, The suggestion that in believing someone has the right to express a negative opinion on a bond film - which can then be alternatively picked apart by someone with an alternative view - somehow encourages the rise of fascism in nazi Germany is rather tedious in consideration of this forum but a valid point in the wider concept of the world well made and taken on board.

    You make a fair point about taking a stance against the tabloids. But positivity doesn't sell. For every "stand by the producer" quote they printed they'd - for the sake of balance - print a negative one. Because opinion comes from two avenues. Whereas fact is only one, rather neglected, road. The fact is there is only one way these stories and negativities are going to be counteracted - by a good film - and that, in certain, shall be the end result.

    Wasn't arguing against you and I would find it hard to do it now. Agreed on all accounts, @HalfOfEverything. Sorry if I used your rather well written post to expand on the subject in a critical way. It was meant to be directed to the topic itself, not your comments on it. Cheers.

    Quite alright :) and I fully respect your enthusiasm for the franchise :)

    I figure that's forgivable, in the big scheme of things, as a typo. The bigger sin of the article, it seems to me, is that it doesn't have a bloody point.

    Surprised at the lack of clapperboards this time around. Usually, we'd have seen a couple more by now.

    James Bond 25 bosses have hired an intimacy coach to help Daniel Craig and Ana De Armas with sex scenes
    https://thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/9109203/james-bond-25-coach-daniel-craig-ana-de-armas

    I can exclusively reveal that bosses have for the first time employed an intimacy coach to make sure the actors feel comfortable during sex scenes.

    A film insider said: “Producer Barbara Broccoli and her team are going all out to bring Bond up to speed. It’s all changed in the #MeToo era and they’re going to extra lengths to make sure all the stars are getting the support they need on set, including during some of the more risqué sex scenes.

    “An intimacy coordinator is now on set during those scenes and is working with Daniel Craig and new Bond girl Ana De Armas to run through the script and make sure they feel comfortable. It’s really progressive and is a step in the right direction – not just for Bond but the industry as a whole.”

    Intimacy coordinators are a relatively new thing. They were used during production of the second season of The Deuce, which takes place in the porn industry during the late seventies and was released a year ago. Basically, they're like stunt coordinators but for sex or nude scenes. They're also not there to tone down the sex or the nudity, but to make sure that the cast is comfortable while shooting this. They act like a middle person between an actor and the director, while when conversation takes place between an actor and the director or the producer, it's more often biased. Having somebody independent makes it easier to have a real talk.
    Actually, one the latest scandals in the industry was about the TV show SMILF, which was written and produced by a woman, whom an actress accused of bullying, as she made several times last minute changes to her sex scenes, turning them into something more humiliating.

    It's unlikely that an intimacy coach will affect anything on something PG-13 like Bond, it's more about adhering to new standards.

    And we know that Bond will get laid with somebody else than Madeleine.

    Yeah, I like seeing the clappers, but prefer not to analyze what scene goes where.

    This is a good laugh an intimacy coordinator? I guess there isn't anything wrong with being extra careful :)) https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7047405/amp/Daniel-Craig-Ana-Armas-provided-intimacy-coordinator-James-Bond-25.html

    I mean the ‘me too’ angle is pathetic.....it’s called acting. But on a plus point it probably means Madeline Swann will be killed off to allow 007 to ‘do’ other things!

    Intimacy coordinators/choreographers are quite common these days. They help try and make these types of scenes convincing.

    Being convincing is what the actors are paid extremely high wages to do IMO.

    Steady, mate - this is a 9-figure operation. The 'coordinators' are there to protect everyone from harm, or liability, and make sure nothing dodgy is afoot. It could stop some actual abuse or even just the appearance of it, the latter of which alone could cost the series a lot of money (or worse, reputation).

    Smart move, all considered; just ask Weinstein (or anyone who had the misfortune of auditioning for him).

    Yep same thing here. Not sure what’s going on. It seems to be only for this particular thread.

    Regarding Bond's relationship with Madeleine, maybe they will separate due to Bond having to have sex with other women in the line of duty (of course).

    Rather than killing her, which would be repetitive and cliche. And the M.:I. franchise already provided one alternative to this plot possibility.

    Also, of course tabloids will make stuff up - that's what tabloids do. Don't most people read tabloid stuff knowing that they're tabloids, being the main reason they read them in the first place?

    Especially considering how weak the Bond 25 announcement was (no title, not much of anything besides casting). The imaginary stuff they come up with ends up being free publicity in this context.

    It's not like the producers will be losing Bond fans anytime soon.

    Aston Martin has just posted this. While it does not say whether or not it will be featured in Bond 25, I strongly think it will be. Cool car, sure, but that colour...

    The tweet is in reference to a collaboration with EON to commemorate the 50th anniversary of OHMSS by building a special edition Superleggera (designed to match the color of Bond's Aston from that film).

    Is there another thread on the board with 75k+ comments? Might be due to size.

    Found this, by upholsterer/furnisher Kirsty Lockwood at Pinewood

    "When you have to make new foam look old for the set." #bond25 #jamesbond



    Also, probably looking too much into things here, but over a year ago it seems she upholstered the seats on what appears to be a 1980s Land Rover Defender with the comment "Unique seats for a unique vehicle".

    A tad off topic but since production is suspended -

    If Warner Bros wasn't involved, one could think Nolan is filming Bond 26 at the same time Bond 25 is filming, in a massive secret plot by EON.
    “Tenet,” which is being filmed on location across seven countries, is an action epic evolving from the world of international espionage.
