I've said it before but, one moment that clearly sticks out is when Craig is having his testicles violated by LeChiffre, and such nonsense as 'I have a little itch', and 'Now the whole world's gonna know that you died scratching my balls'
@-) This Is Not James Bond
I wouldn't call it humor, but it was genuinely unintentionally amusing and there were a few giggles from (probably some teenage girls) ,the audience sitting in close proximity to us at time of release when first watched
Fleming would of been spinning like a top..
Even Moore, for all his clowning around, particularly in his latter pictures, would never of had anything to do with it, and they would never have entertained the idea either
Also, with Solange on top of him, asking him if she can ask a personal question, I love they way Craig responds that this might be an appropriate time.
These two came of the top of my head for now.
I said before he reminds me of Dalton sometimes, but you'd never see or hear Tim in such instances
Hopefully with the caliber of people involved in the next project they will keep it more faithful next time around and divert away from some of the nonsense bits as seen above
Although, QoS seems like more of a serious film, I thought his line "I do hope so" when Mathis states Fields may have handcuffs was funny as well.
"Are you alright?" after Vesper saves him
Bond and Vesper take a taxi
and from QOS
"I dont have any friends"
As for other funny moments(which there are tons of by the way), I love when Bond is getting a tracer put into his wrist. The man there shoots it in his arm, and Bond turns and just mutters out "Ow". I find it very funny considering all the beating he had gotten before hand.
I also enjoy the scene with Bond and M in her flat. Bond has M on his burner about getting caught on camera in the Embassy and M throws the paper near Bond. Without any further dialogue between the two he says "I'll shoot the cameras first next time".
That's it for me until I next return. There are a ton of funny moments in Craig's Bond films.
One of my favorite bits was in QOS, when M brings up that she got Mitchell an ashtray, and Bond replies "I don't think he smoked." - which makes M smash it.
OW!!! Oh sorry, that was you hitting the nail on the head. #-o That is the issue with many anti-Craig fans.
Great choice! Easily one of the funniest moments in QoS. The way Craig sneaks it in so slightly and how raged M is after is brilliant.
'Can you help me look for the stationery' is not funny ever.
Good one. Forgot about that one.
That makes me laugh, and also:
"My friends call me Dominic"
"I'm sure they do"
which I think is the best one liner in the movie (an easy challenge anyway)
Also revving the bike from between the riders legs "Well I missed!"
Ah! The teachers on sabbatical turning into teachers on sabbatical who just won the lottery is one to always give me a crack. Great scene that I couldn't believe was in a Bond film. Bond could stay in operation in some of the dreariest places in the world but he couldn't stand a less than average Bolivian hotel? Anyway, great pick and great moment in QoS.
There the scene in CR where the guy was framed by Mathias and he got busted by the police / hotel security. Did you happen to notice that the patsy was Michael G Wilson? I thought that was fun.
I saw CR three times in the theatre - twice (in different cities) within the first month and then again in a second run theatre. All three audiences laughed at all of the things that have been mentioned above so when someone says that there's no humour in the Craig films I think it's a) willful blindness or b) they mean to say "humour that wasn't to my own personal tastes even though other people enjoy it".
thats how i see it now... willful blindness... and lets be honest, we all do it to things we don't like - but to generalize it, and say it in a way that comes off as everyone feels the same way, because thats how i feel, is a little narcissistic IMO... i get and understand that there are people here on this board who don't like Craig, even hate him - and will refuse to see anything positive he does in the role - people are people and they have their opinions, thats fine... but to generalize a statement by saying "there is no humor in Craig's Bond films"... sorry, but that couldn't be further from the truth.... he may not deliver it with a wink and smile like Sean, or lob it in like a softball pitch to get smashed like Roger, or do it with a tie straighten and gargle of the throat like Pierce - but it's there.. very dry, but it's there.... i guess with some, they just don't understand his delivery...
QOS had far more humorous bits than CR did easily - but the chosen few just chose not to see it... and they have their reasons.... and i guess that makes them intellectually superior to us. lol.
It was mentioned at least twice in this thread before you...
not a laugher of a line - but a nice comeback... one of my favorites.
Totally Agree With the whole comment.
