I think the fact I can not find a Harris appreciation thread says it all my friend. I too would be open to a recast post Dan era. I will wait until I have seen Spectre but agree the snippets so far seem to be more of the same. Helen McCrory who played clair Dower MP in Skyfall would have been a much better MP casting,Right under their noses as well. like Dan McCrory ages well.
It's the sort of dialogue and delivery you'd expect to hear in a home made movie shot on a mobile phone in someone's back garden by kids that had little else to do on a Sunday afternoon.
Goodness me! From the moment we heard the name "Christmas Jones", everyone waited for the rest of the movie to hear this particular shoe fall to the ground.
If Darius was hoping for a glimmer, I do believe he just blew it.
LOL! Awesome! =))
Touché. The story of my life.
;)
From Moonraker:
Drax: Why did you break off the encounter with my pet python?
Bond: I discovered he had a crush on me.
Awful set up by the screenwriters by making Drax ask an incredibly daft question. Why "break off the encounter" with the python? Um...he was gonna kill me?
From Quantum of Solace:
Bond: I can't find the stationary...could you come and help me look?
Some of you already mentioned this one, but it deserves many more mentions. Still trying to find out exactly what the writers were thinking putting this one in there.
Lol! That! =))
The writers were on strike. It shows.
Electra: What keeps you alive?
Bond: I take pleasure in great beauty.
The next line should have been
Electra: No, cloth ears. I said WHAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE? I mean, like 'being able to run fast', or 'always carrying a gun'. Stopping mid chase to stare at a beautiful building or woman will probably get you killed. God alive, are you the best Britain has.
But no, she accepts the reply which in my mind truly bears no resemblance to the question posed.
Craig's delivery is so incredulous he must recognise how bad it is.
Other than that I thought the dialogue in Spectre was pretty decent.
Duly noted. However, I suspect the average non-Bond film has an even higher dumb-dialogue quotient.
Every line in this scene.
The worst of the worst IMO is how Halle says "I'm sooo goood"
a) get out of your chair and try and defend yourself
b) keep still and utter an 'eeeee' noise as though you're embarrassed on said attacker's behalf.
To be fair she meant it in the sense of what pleasure do you get out of life.
I have to admit that this line jars a bit with me. It's stating the obvious really; I mean, assuming that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, who doesn't take pleasure in what they would deem to be beauty?
The other reason why this line jars is that Bond is seeking to flatter Elektra in a flagrant display of uncharacteristic obsequiousness.
Is there a best lines in all Bond thread!? There are so many good lines with a few new ones too :D
'Cuckoo I can see you'
'Now we know what C stands for'
LOL! Priceless!
=))
First this one from TND:
'If I didn't know better, I'd say he had a oedipus complex.'
And this from TWINE:
'Would you like to check my figures?'
'Oh, I'm sure they're perfectly rounded.'
It's an 'edifice complex'. Oedipus means something entirely different.
"Perhaps you failed to take into account my... hidden assets." :))
I may inwardly groan upon seeing them in the film but let them pass bit to see them all listed out bare here is embarrassing
Eye.
