Just shows what a silly comment that earlier poster made.
I didn't even have to bring out the pink tie/white suit combo from DAF. Or the frilly tuxedo shirt from OHMSS (not pink, but a horrible shirt). I'd be surprised if Moore didn't have a pink tie or shirt somewhere during his Bond run, but I can't remember off the top of my head.
But yes, it was a silly comment. Not that I think Chalamet is a suitable actor for Bond, or that Craig/Brosnan's clothes are to my preference in those pics.
I feel pulled down jeans are a bit too late 90s/early 2000s for the next Bond 😉 If anything we’re back into the territory of Moore’s flares. But agreed, frilly shirt is preferable
Indeed, I first saw it in the 90s and thought it dumb then. And still seeing it. No, I don't think we'll see a young Bond dressing as such. But that shirt that may seem horrible to us now, was fashionable then. Bond is always in style, regardless of the decade.
Well to quote Nanny McPhee,
"When you need me but do not want me, then I must stay. When you want me but no longer need me, then I have to go".
Lol, my Daughter loved that movie; having seen it dozens of times, that quote comes to mind when thinking about Campbell returning for a third film.
EoN may want a hot , prestige director but what the may need is a tested director who gets Bond and has successfully launched two very different actors.
Once done he can move on and new blood can take the reins .
That Brosnan look is so good.
It's like if you stand in the shadow of a tall building you can no longer see your own shadow. Trying to establish a grounded, gritty Bond in the wake of Bond dying, there's no contrast. Whereas with the gritty Bond Craig portrayed in CR it worked because of the contrast from the celebrations of DAD.
The Living Daylights was an example of this, it works.
I'm with on the contrast aspect. Are you saying no gritiness at all? Balancing that with a charming side feels deserving. He's a tough guy and a mean spy.
Bond lost his brother, his best friend and said goodbye to his family all in one movie, some heavy stuff. The next film needs to prove he is capable of making it out alive, he's still the hero we all remember. When was the last time we got a triumphant finale? And not just a tagged on scene at the end, but a TLD style giving "the boot" to necros, stopping the russians on the bridge, parachuting the jeep out of the falling plane and then driving off to Karachi for dinner - BOOYAH!!
Bingo.
I have a bad feeling that they're just going to do all this over again, only with a different actor. I don't get the sense that they just want to make normal Bond movies. Frankly I'm skeptical if they even know how at this point. Barbara probably thinks Skyfall is the best Bond movie ever, since she made it three times in a row.
Agreed. I'd love a Bond film that provides some distraction, and for which détente can be beautiful again (while bubbles tickle the lady's Tchaikovsky.😊)
the more they wait around the more they need someone that is safe to get the job done and successfully start a new era.
No one here hinted at a one dimensional Bond.
I definitely agree on most of this. There is such a thing as over-thinking or being a little too self-important when it comes to Bond. The series works the best as art when it is self contained, and discards the soap operatics.
Oh. I must haven seen things differently.
Bond 25, whatever else you might say, left the series on a downbeat note due to Bond being killed off and theres no getting around that. Bond 26 can have serious moments, real jeopardy and complex, developed characters but the overall experience needs to be uplifting and triumphant. The message needs to be hopeful, that whatever craziness is going on in the world and whatever conflicts are happening, Bond is STILL here and he's back on his game.
I know we don’t always see eye to eye, but on this matter I cannot agree more @mtm
Why can’t you call the twenty fifth EON Bond film NTTD or even No Time To Die @Mendes4Lyfe ?
After all that is the title of the film. All the other films you refer to by there title, but not with NTTD.
Agreed. I prefer to call my pet peeves by their names. That-Film-Between-FYEO-And-OP-That-Isn't-An-EON-Bond-Film-And-Shows-It is simply Never Say Never Again, or NSNA. I'm-Only-Here-For-A-Glimmer-Because-There's-Not-Much-Else is TWINE. I'm not a child.
