That reminds me that one day years ago, in my daydreaming, I gave the following some thought: if Bond goes on forever (or at least, for a considerable amount of time; for example, centuries) at some point, humanity and its level of technological advancement will be so different from today, that any link between the Bond films of today and the Bond films of the future will be only on a conceptual level. The idea, the recipe behind the films, might continue to be the same but the things we see in them will be completely different.
That is, of course, assuming Bond films will continue to be made for a great, great number of years, which I find at the very least questionable, given ever-changing cultural trends.
But I find the possibility fascinating.
Thanks!
I'll drink to that.
However, in the novelization of The Spy Who Loved Me (the film), the entirety of the PPK parts were hidden and/or attached to a mini typewriter, each part masquerading as an actual piece of the platform until Bond disconnected them and assembled the pistol.
I'm guessing the assumption is open ended.
It has been so many years since I read that, but that was really clever. He would still need ammunition, though.
eBay for 007 ;-)
Post of the day. You get two enemies breakdancing in midair for that one.
Good question. Its never really occurred to me before. Thinking it through it does seem odd that Tibbett would first go to the garage to get the car washed before ringing London with the urgent message for M. After all, getting the car washed was just his excuse for leaving the chateau. As a government agent he seems more concerned with washing his car than assisting Bond in contacting London.
Also impossible that May Day could have climbed into his car and hid in the back in the 2-3 seconds she had whilst his back was turned.
I suspect Bond could have ended up in San Francisco purely through tracking Zorin's movements. The CIA know he is 'in town' so could have let London know and in turn Bond followed him out there. He probably didn't need the cheque tracing for that.
I've always wondered why Zorin choses to leave such a trail of evidence behind in his plan for Silicon Valley. His details must be all over the plans at City Hall (which might not have been destroyed by fire) but even if they were the Main Strike mine was left full of explosives and henchmen all wearing his uniform/logo.
That is the sort of thing that remains frustrating as you assume the role of MayDay and imagine getting into the car and closing the door quietly while his back is turned.
Similarly, in TLD when Kara has to shrug her coat off, put it (and her hat) onto the cello, get out of the phone booth and in to Bond's car in the time it takes the tram to pass. I always try and work it through in my mind. Too, too close. ;)
Demolition was not planned for the day when Blofeld blew it up. It was still being prepared. I suppose we can assume it belonged to the demolition firm to take explosives in the foundations underneath the building.
Because Roger Moore's films are about destroying the Earth with spheres of poisonous gas launched from outer space or nuclear armaggedon and Craig's films are about water shortages and misplaced laptops and they each ask of their audiences unique degrees of disbelief suspension?
