is this a joke? quoting and re-quoting until the page explodes??
a simple quote-less reply should do by now one could think...[/quote]
I quoted as I was directly addressing the Wizard's comments, sorry I'm not a veteran of the international law on how to use internet forums.
I think this may be my fault. I remembering using the word in reply to Graves some time back - I can only assume he looked it up online and slowly, over time, it's started to consume his very being. A sort of literary symbiote.
We'll have to start calling in the 'N' word. That worked for that other 'N' word. People used to say it all the time but now its verboten - unless you are a rapper of course and then its fine.
Apparently it's fine to say only as long as you're a black man or woman and end the word with an "a" and not "er." The latter form of the word is a step too far and offensive, while the former is somehow a term of endearment (?). Crazy, crazy, crazy.
And that's good. We won't all agree but we all need or have a favorite.
SP is still a Bond film so you have my appreciation. :)
I'll pass and compete for one of the others.
The word "confetti" gets way too much play these days. Can we put a moratorium on the word "confetti" already? Thaaanks. ;)
Of course. Let's pop off some confetti to celebrate its retirement. Oh, oops. #-o
No I'm not the hulk unfortunately but what I was trying to do was correct a word error from a message before and it turn out being strangle instead of strange because the stupid phone auto corrects words that are not spelled correctly to the machine its complicated so there you go im not drunk
i respect your opinions..
but for me..
Logan's work on SF was good.. but his work on SP wasn't that great - and apparently it was so bad that Mendes himself sacked him to bring back P&W to try and salvage whatever mess Logan created - and Logan was Mendes' hand picked guy to replace P&W.... the foster brother angle was extremely shortsighted - it lacks any sort of emotional resonance with the audience, because it's a twist thrown in to make people be like "ohhh" - it adds no dramatic impact....... here's a fun test to prove my point - watch the movie again, and then completely disregard anything that had to do with that little twist - that means the "personal effects from SF" - everything that referenced that personal angle between them.. THE MOVIE STILL WOULD'VE PLAYED OUT EXACTLY THE SAME WAY!! - the whole "brother" thing was completely superfluous.. remove it, and the movie doesn't change a bit.. and thats a dead giveaway that it should've been cut from the film - adding a twist to generate some sort of faux sense of emotional importance is not good writing... we don't see anything built up between these two, it's more or less just explained away - thus - the audience isn't invested, and no one cares......... again, this is another example of what happens when you try to cram way to much into one movie.
Hoyt Van Hoytema - i really liked his DOP work on SP.. i thought the movie was beautifully shot.. a very nice lateral move from Deakins.
Thomas Newman... didn't impress me with his SF soundtrack, and really didn't impress me with his SP soundtrack... there are certain tracks on both that are outstanding, and beautiful - but they lack that BOND quality.... IMO, the best modern Bond score is still CR, and nothing since has been able to top it.. not that i am closed minded - but that score IS how Bond movies should sound like in this day and age.. it brought a modern edge to the Barry template of weaving the title music in and out throughout the entire movie - bridging melodies off it to create new ones.... Newman's work had moment's of brilliance, but just not enough - too much against the grain of what I want from a Bond score.
Impossible to argue with a word of this nuanced™ post. But no doubt @Gustav will have a crack at it.
Amen. The lack of news is warping people's brains.
From Russia remains my favorite.
The only option now is to get on some kind of lottery or to make a patron contribution of $2500 to the NYTW. I like Craig, but I'm afraid that's too steep for me.

Just a shame, really.
like Fathom Events at theaters..... often times, movie theaters will show plays, musicals, or operas, just for the reasons you suggested - sadly though - they can't do it with everything..
" The biggest question, of course, is the James Bond series, Sony’s rights to which have expired. Rothman flatly declined to describe the studio’s posture toward Bond, saying that discussion would be premature. But it is clear that Sony, having prospered in partnership with Eon Productions, MGM and others with films like Skyfall and Spectre, will join the bidding for the next round of Bonds and likely will point to its Wanda alliance as an example of new strength it can bring to the table."
EoN seems uninterested in doing anything than being lazy.
Why not finding a new distributor BEFORE the rights expired??
Now they wait for what??
And once a new deal has been struck in 2018 they will realise Craig is not available anymore and then start casting a new one, or just wait another year.
Or try the last minute ticket booth in Times Square.
I thought you were a fan of SP?
like @Murdock said.. in this case, EON is at the mercy of MGM... EON may be at the table, and part of the discussion, but this particular decision is MGM's to make (similar in the way that MGM and whoever are part of the casting discussions, but the ultimate decision lies with EON - this is just the opposite)..
and in a situation like this, there is a lot of red tape and legalease to go through - and thats not counting the financial aspect of things..... personally though i am shocked no decision has been made yet, but that doesn't mean discussions aren't taking place - because in situations like this, there'll be periods of no news, as if nothing is taking place.. but suddenly something breaks, and the dominos quickly begin to fall - i point to the MGM financial crisis as a prime example of a similar situation.. no news on a buyer for a long time, then all of sudden it was like the flood gates opened.
