I just value strong arguments and words well applicated. If one enters a thread built for sharing and feedback and wishes to throw out random one word responses they can have at it, but I don't really see what the point is then if that's all they're going to add. Seems like a waste for all involved.
Really ...
Superb! nIce use of color.
It'd be great if that was as clever as you seem to think it is.
What's supposed to be clever? You've lost me sunshine.
Your one word response to a post where I said it was an error to post a one word response, no doubt intended to be a childish retort? Have you duped yourself? Has it been an unconscious act all along?
If you want to think that ... think you should ease up sunshine, something is really bugging you today,
I didn't think it's clever, that was kind of the whole point I was making. I should've kept my response to a one word adjective for you, as you seem to work better at that base level of human communication. I won't bother any longer, however, as you seem to be a lost cause on this if all you want to do is swap very poor nicknames, as poor as the aforementioned adjectives.
It wasn't meant to be clever - more my exasperation that you're actually getting this worked up over all this. You've got some serious bee in your bonnet there.
And swap poor nicknames? What are you on about ...? @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7
If there's something wrong, you know, like life stuff, I'm here to help and chat with.
Thank you @jake24 , @ClarkDevlin and @tanaka123 :) Fun fact: the building in the background is the building that James Bond exits during the pre-title sequence of Skyfall.
Neat.
Oh that was a one word reply. A certain someone will not be a happy bunny.
I now deem this a 'Whiplash' appreciation thread. One of the greatest movie finales I've ever seen.
Synopsis:
After the death of his wife in the hands of the world's most dangerous anarchist, British Intelligence agent, James Bond (Sean Connery) prepares to wage a war with SPECTRE's very own Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Peter Wyngarde), who himself has deadly schemes planned ahead for the world to see than predicted. Rampant, but not reckless, Agent 007 hovers all around Europe to track his nemesis down and put an end to him for once and for all.
This could be my favourite Bond film from an alternate universe, where both revenge and calculated straightforward spy thriller genres are perfectly paired in one motion picture. And yes, I purposefully jettisoned the Japanese setting and replaced it with Europe.
Brilliant!
@ClarkDevlin, nice use of color and composition. Your little synopsis is essentially what I'd love to see Bond 25 turn into: Bond and Blofeld essentially engaging in a giant and destructive international game of cat and mouse.
While I'd love this to happen, if we were to get inspiration from You Only Live Twice the novel and have Madeleine meet the same fate as Tracy, then, even though it's inevitable for Bond to get emotional at first, I want him on top of his game with that international game of cat and mouse, without having to let his emotions come in the way, but motivate him for further determination to decapitate the 'great serpent'.
A little flash I had in mind is the ending for this "alternate universe" YOLT with Connery, where, let's say, after he survives but is suffering through amnesia, I wouldn't have him settled with Kissy or any woman for the matter on-screen, but have the last shot of Bond finding himself right in front of the Kremlin, or St. Basil's Church in Moscow, derived from the novel of Bond heading to Russia to investigate his identity and who he was. I'm sure the Bond 25 ending could give us a breathtaking cliffhanger like that.
My definitive Bond 25 ending, which I've shared elsewhere, is Bond meeting with Madeleine on the bridge leading to Vauxhall Cross (and the rebuilt MI6) after killing Blofeld and eradicating SPECTRE, where he explains that his job is his life, and that he needs it. She told him in SP that he had a choice to do something different-like Vesper in CR-but he realized that it was always his choice to be the man he was, and it was a part of him now. He'd part ways with her, and walk his way back to MI6 where he belongs, disappearing in the bend of the road as the last shot of the film.
I wouldn't want a sad or depressing ending, as I don't think it's deserved. I'd like the last scene we get with this Bond to be a triumphant and hopeful one, where we know he'll serve out at MI6 until he can't do it any more, in the way he needs to. It would be a sign that he would finally be making his own choice and deciding on a lifestyle that didn't conform to what others wanted for him. Vesper and Madeleine both made him think he wanted a peaceful life, but some men are built for storms and calms can never sustain them. Bond was born into the rain and high winds, and that's where he's at his best.
Nice work @Denbigh :)
That's how I feel about Hardy and his Mad Max commitments. If we had to lose Mel to get him, they'd better get their use out of him in that franchise.
Plus I have never seen him as Bond. People call Daniel a thuggish guy, but that is Hardy all over for me. He's just not the kind of guy that looks right in a suit, kind of like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Very out of place and not right. Dan has a potty mouth, but he's got that sort of elegance about him and a gentlemanly sense. He's a beast inside, but when he's in the suit he doesn't show it, and he's able to pull off Bond's style convincingly. He looks like he'd give a strong and fair fight, whereas Hardy seems to type to go right for the bollocks.
