BTW, we have similar taste in women, I gather.
But, you know, we folk who post more than 6 paragraphs in one reply must all calm down ;)
One thing I've observed as of late is that since the trailer came out, people just react hysterically to details and nitpick absolutely everything. Even if someone said "you" or "him". For pete's sake, it's just a movie, and it looks like a good one at that.
I'll be taking my "Zen and how to write calm sentences" class now :-D
PS: @boldfinger, old pal, no harm done. We usually concur on things. I didn't see any disagreement. @octofinger thought I was mad at him, even though I specifically pointed out that I was reacting to Grace Randolphs video(s). Oh well, all is well. Let's carry on.
Actually, I'm not. I'm superthrilled about this new Bond film. ;-)
That makes both of us, @DarthDimi.
I'll be fixing my bike now, and getting zenned ;)
As for the knee phrase: Why in the world would Bond´s knees be screwed up so much? I could halfway accept Silva making a remark about knees, since he came across as a bit excentric and insane, so he could say a lot of things and get away with them. But repeating the insinuation here seems pretty dumb. Bond when on duty has short periods of intensive physical stress, usually followed by periods of at least several months where he can recover and work out. So why the f should any of his body parts not be in good shape? And even if we would assume that 00s lead such a devastating life that in their early 50s they need crutches, it comes still across as rather dumb if Nomi says it to Bond, because being a 00 herself it means she ridicules her own future.
OK, mate. . . do you need some flowers in the mail or something?
@octofinger @Univex The grand irony is that Grace Randolph loved Lashana Lynch the most in the trailer...look at her tweet:
The only reason she is now roadcasting the 'other side' of the argment is to appeal to her audience. Who, hate to say it, are the sort of folk who shout about SJW's on Twitter, hate The Last Jedi, captain Marvel is a Nazi, think female Ghostbusters was the work of the anti-christ, etc.
She doesn't actually agree with those opinions. But it's become the clikcbair she's known for.
until the proper critics come out and review the film, sadly we are left with the view of Youtube influencers.
I read as a meta remark, perhaps referring to Craig's own injuries. He's poking fun at himself. That's partly why I found it funny.
I hadn't even heard of her until I got that link from @007Blofeld. She's not the only overly loud Youtuber I've come across though. Is it a thing or something?
For crying in the bloody sink, the only lines of hers I cited were some, I thought, useful points on the way that the producers are establishing (or not establishing) sympathies for Bond and Nomi in the trailer. That's all. Positively no need to invoke SJWs, Nazis, clickbait, or whatever else. You don't like the messenger, you find her voice too loud, fine. I've not seen any of her other videos. But her message w/r/t the tone that we get both about Bond and Nomi is an interesting one.
They seem to think an overly loud personality sells. Just have a listen to Jeremy Jahns, for example. One has to take xanax after it. What I find funny is some old school people like Tiff Needell having a laugh at them (car youtubers in this case) in some of his own videos. They're more like circus clowns who happen to have access to the show earlier than anyone else. But hey, it's a brave new world ;)
Unfortunately, it's almost stereotypical now. The drive for more clicks has meant they're often no more substantial or enlightening than the tabloid press. I used to follow quite a lot of them, but I had a massive subscription clearout a couple of years back.
Same with me, @CraigMooreOHMSS. Hey, are we quite sure we're not the same person?
It is, that's fair. But I'm not sure if it's the right way of looking at it.
@Univex
A voice of reason, as always.
Maybe you could negotiate a new government for our weird little country? ;-)
And beauty is, of course, in the eye of the beholder. ;)
;)
Maybe they worked him twisting his leg into the film?
You just made me check out this Jahns guy (another one I've never heard of) and his Joker review. Could not focus on anything but his excessive arm movements!
I take it as a positive thing I've rarely come across these people on Youtube. What's surprising though having a look at it, is the amount of views these people get!
Skewered. One does not symphatize.
I did see Jahn's review of Dark Fate and found his Arnie impressions entertaining, though.
:))
Well, any Arnie impression has the potential of being entertaining, haha!
Grace is a bit looney. She thinks that toy story 4 is socialist propaganda!
I haven't seen Toy Story 4, but is it possible, even remotely, that she is right?
No, trust me no haha
Perhaps I should decide to join the 21st century?
On second thought I'll stay where I am.
Seems to me, and perhaps I'm wrong, but it looks like anyone can set up a Youtube channel and review Bond films, or whatever genre in which one is interested.
I miss the days of SISKEL AND EBERT. Although I didn't always agree with their critiques, (particularly with Bond), they didn't pull punches and resulted in quite entertaining reviews.
As I said, I haven't seen that one yet. But when enough (famous) people were taken at face value, only to have their dark side revealed, it isn't outside the realm of possibility that an animated film might be used as propaganda? Dinsey had enough experience of that during WW2.
@ToTheRight Anyone can. I have one. I just upload random videogame clips from time to time. Setting a channel up is the easy part.
And a huge bonsai. He also seems to be wearing a kimono.
