(BUT I HOPE I'm RIGHT!!!!)
About Blofeld minus the cat: We've seen him use ferocious animals like piranhas to dispatch incompetent henchmen, but how about if new Blofeld had a white tiger as a pet instead of the domestic cat. I think that would be interesting. Tarantulas, sharks, piranhas, crocodiles, snakes, tigers- I'm sure there's more.
I say bring back the animal threats to Bond films. Maybe that could be a new thread, if it's not already.
And a fabulous partner called Roy!
what truth??... your truth, as only the way you see it - or are you talking about reality?... The only truth you've surmised is that your very astute at cherry picking little bits and pieces of an off the cuff remark - and passing it off as gospel, that there's no way it could not be true..... while you might be trying to "have some fun" as you say - your constant persistence to hear no one's argument when it contradicts your opinion is what gets a couple of us here annoyed... and let's be blunt shall we... thats all you have right now is a handful of opinions and barely educated guesses - and thats fine - must of us here do, as well do I... but i realize and will openly admit that they are complete guesses and shots in the dark - but you, god - your worse than a tabloid journalist.... you rearrange statements like a Scrabble puzzle to fit your ideas, and then all of sudden, it becomes "based in fact".... sure ;-)
if you believe Blofeld is coming back - or you want him to comeback - or you get wet dreams thinking about that bald head and white cat in SKYFALL, by all means - scream your case to the heavens.... but don't patronize our intelligence, and false prophesize a couple quip remarks as fact and truth.
and i remember your argument made about SONY and their Bond rights - which - they have none... they were only in deals with McClory to finance and distribute (what was at the time WAR HEAD 2001 AD).. but MGM filed an injucture, - MGM and Sony secretly struck a deal, and SONY backed out on McClory (its and old article, but here you go, gives you everything you need to know http://www.universalexports.net/00Sony2.shtml)
you're right, they will - in Bond 24 perhaps, but not in SKYFALL - hasn't this matter already been laid to bed, killed, and then laid to rest by Michael, Barbara, Craig and Mendes?... when asked, does this film have any connection to CR or QOS, and when they reply with "no. it's it's own thing." - doesn't that say all you need to hear?.. remember how Goldfinger was separate from Dr. No and From Russia With Love?.. same difference here... QUANTUM is on hiatus until Bond 24, mark my words.... usually when the producers, Bond actor, and director are absolute on statement like the one above - it tends to be 100% accurate.... they've even gone so far as to say in past interviews "That QUANTUM will NOT be a part of Bond 23 (Skyfall)".... but yet, people still want to beat a dead horse over this issue
so what that says to me.. is that No Quantum, No head of quantum, no Mr White.. no to anything related to Quantum in the previous 2 films.. not even cameos to setup future Quantum villains.
We will, as soon as you acknowledge the fact that your basing nothing in "truth" and "facts"... and it's all your opinion.... thats all you got to do man - just say it's your opinion... because speaking very dismissively to myself and some others the way you do, especially when the only shred of evidence to prove your case, is words you've already warped and twisted around - well... it makes you look like an idiot.. who can't separate personal opinion from reality and fact.
I have never called you an idiot. No need for that. Also no need to merge yourself in something you are not involved in. And if you feel that I have offended you, then IMO you take things way too personally.
As I said before.....the guessing I made is based on these quotes. Real quotes. Factual quotes. And I specifically said 'a base':
If you read my posts carefully, you will find out I have NEVER stated that it is a fact that 'Blofeld' and 'SPECTRE' will return. Never. Period. I am just guessing.
And if you think I write my posts in such a way that they appear factual, like I am some kind of Blofeld myself. Well, I can't help that. I really like to read your posts Haserot :-). Really, I do. But I am who I am: A blunt Dutchman ;-). Get a bit used to it. 'Doubleoego' can confirm that I am not that bad :-).
Those are real quotes.. but they pertain absolutely nothing that says Blofeld or SPECTRE are returning.... if thats what you assume, then thats one thing - but to case those as ground for "fact"... well, your wrong... but thats your own personal delusion, to which no amount of evidence to prove the contrary will quell..
isn't that a bit contradictory?... if they are indeed factual quotes, wouldn't you be basing your opinion, and what you write on as fact?..
how many times have we read reports about false Bond titles - come on, Risico, The Property Of A Lady (who many assumed was a shoe in)... i remember a quote in which Wilson said his favorite title is actually "The Hildebrand Rarity" - and there was many a topic or subject dedicated to the possibility of that being the title of Bond 23 (some time ago) - no more amount of truth lies in what Wilson said in connection to the Bond 23 title, as to anything else those quotes you posted above suggest.
everyone from Miles Messervy (M) to Blofeld...
hell... he could even be Sir Frederick Gray for all we know.
For fun haserot: Wanna place a bet with me on Blofeld's return :P?
Exactly! Partially it's a lot of fanboy wishful thinking! You got it Haserot ;-)! Now back to those quotes i gave. I agree, no FACTS can be derived out of that. But the actual CHANCE that 'Blofeld' COULD return has grown. That's all I can say. And that growing CHANCE is the thing that makes me a wishful thinking fanboy. And I LOVE it ;)!!
To talking about being a wishful fanboy. What wish do you have with regard to Ralph Fiennes character. Who do you like him to play? An uncredited Nr. 1 of QUANTUM? Or just a member of MI6? I am curious.
PS; This is a forum full of fans no? Or are we actually working on the team of 'Skyfall' :-)?
No.... because in the end, what is there to gain?
I've already made my personal opinion known.
I forgot. But well, it'll come up again soon Haserot ;-).
Mind you there is also the possibility that Fiennes, not being a Bond-phile, might not realize that characters such as Vallance or Frederick Gray, aren't quite as readily recognizable as he thinks they might be. Personally, even though I'm a Bond-phile, I don't spend much time reflecting on either character, but Fiennes wouldn't know that.
Also Fiennes coy dismissal of the, "are you playing Blofeld question" with his " well I'm not playing a man with a cat" answer" or words to that effect, could simply mean he flat out answered that he was not playing Blofeld or it could mean that he simply found a way to not lie. In otherwords, his Blofeld doesn't have a cat. hmmm.
Fiennes as Blofeld is still a possibility. There is only circumstantial evidence, if that, but it does at least hold out the possibility.
I think if Fiennes is playing Blofeld, the character's true identity will be part of a major reveal, later in the film. It could be a Blofeld origins story for the new timeline. It also allows that Fiennes doesn't have to come back either, because as we've seen, Eon did switch up the Blofeld actor in the past. This might explain Fiennes description of the character as a cameo. Cameo suggesting possibly, that Fiennes considers his role as a one-off.
Logan's remark is also rather cryptic about how Bond should always be fighting Blofeld. hmmm. There is smoke here, but I'm still not betting on a fire. Fiennes could very well still be the new M, succeeding Dench. That possibility is quite real as well.
If the character is so readily recognizable though, I just can't think of who he might be referring to other than Ernst or M. :-?
I don't recall him saying anything like that- however I could have missed it. Is it possible that you're thinking of the press conference, where one of the reporters asked Mendes if the reason why some character names haven't been revealed is because fans would pick up on it?
I honestly can't remember, there's been so much information both correct and incorrect that it's hard to keep tabs on what's factual. I only ask as it is the kind of quote that sticks in my mind and I'm pretty sure I read it (not long after the launch).
@RC7: He quoted "Bond fans would be happy". I think that's what you're thinking of. To me, that would imply a character they'd know.
That's the one.
obvious he wont talk about it......too bad we just need to guess what his character role since Mendes? said "fans will be happy" A character from Fleming someone either done before or never done on screen..hmmm
I think it is not Blofield but someone esle anyone guess? I am thinking ROnnie Vallance that I suggested before so I sticking with this one...who else would Bond fan be happy to see?
That would be very stupid yes. If a newly revised version of Blofeld would....caress a white cat [-(
That could mean so many things!
