Where everyone forgets he married Tracy and she was never mentioned again? :D
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a proper continuity: every other film series has one.
Actually, yes. That was one of the many things that made the Bond films so special. I would love it if they went back to that weird non continuous system.
It seems that many people are using the “if they’re making it that way, why can’t Bond?” argument. And that’s what’s wrong with today’s state of the art. Uniformity and imitation aren’t recipes for success. Bond survived throughout all these years because, although it was influenced by cinema and cultural trends, it remained its very own thing, with a proper and inimitable winning formula. Let’s go back to that, please. It’s not too late. We’ve won quality markers with the last films. Let’s merge that with formula and see where that takes us, shall we? No more of this run of the mill franchise continuity faux character archs, please. Give us a full blow, individual, stylish, quality Bond adventure. After having high quality and formula deconstruction, why not try high quality and formula?
Doubt I would eat the one on the left.
For after the Craig era? Absolutely. But I loved that's this is a decision they decided to roll with specifically for the Craig films.
Yes, me too. One more reason to leave it contained for this era alone.
I don’t want to spoil it for you, but Bond’s marriage to Tracy was mentioned several times :)
And I don’t think it made it special at all. I didn’t mind it, but equally I didn’t mind (and probably preferred) Blofeld trying to get one back on Bond for Dr No’s death in FRWL, or him meeting Sylvia Trench for a kiss and cuddle again. I don’t see how that made FRWL bad, neither do I see how it was bad for Fleming to have a throughline of continuity of events in his novels, particularly towards the end. Both the Connery films and Fleming novels are what are always touted as being what the current films should aspire to, but if they do that they get criticised anyway.
I honestly can’t see any reason to want not continuity between films: the only reason being given here is nostalgia.
Saying that other films have continuity therefore we shouldn’t is a non-argument. Why not have M become a cartoon character halfway through? How about Bond no longer is subject to gravity? Or he starts remembering things that will happen to him in the future? You don’t do things just because other films don’t, and characters remembering what happened to them previously is a pretty essential element of drama. It’s not being conformist to follow logic.
I take it you never saw MOONRAKER and a whole bunch of other Bond films that followed trends of the times.

Then you got where she pulls up to Bond and she is in a car on the different side and the background is different.
I think you've linked the wrong ones because they're certainly not the same.
I don’t understand how you can say I’m not a fan of the classic Bond films in reply to a post where I say how the classic Bond films did exactly what I’m talking about, and I say how I liked that..? I wonder if you’ll reply: I’m willing to bet you won’t.

I meant the background with the lake the other one is blurred because of the screen. @Denbigh they may not be but it looks like the same lake maybe that house has significance here is one I mean in the car http://imgur.com/a/akQL5SI
Bond has more or less always followed in the trends of the film movements around it. I believe that to be a strength. It keeps the series relevant to the times.
Not necessarily its actually better if the go back to Fleming. I think Joe darlington has a video on the very subject at being James Bond on YouTube. Moonraker they tried the star wars copy and paste and everyone pans that and then they went back to basics with FYEO.
Is that the Valhalla?
Ah well; much that I enjoy Craig, I’d agree with him on that one! :)
Getting the same vibe. I think this film ends with Bond dying and Nomi getting the Valhalla.
In fact, I’d be kinda bummed if Craig’s finale doesn’t do something as bold as this....
I don’t think so; looks like a DBS seat to me.
Aston Martin DBS Superleggera
That would be horrible.
With what little we know, I wouldn't be shocked.
Especially with the '25th Bond film will change everything' teaser.
What if...
This would be received horribly, as it should be.
