It's indeed great to think many people around the world were watching the film at the same time!
I missed the first half hour, did he mention Tim Dalton at all? He didn't later.
He did remember George, but I’m pretty sure he never mentioned Tim!
He comes across as a lovely person. Very warm, genuine. And appreciative of all the opportunities he's had. After Rog I'd say he comes across as one of the most likeable actors to play Bond.
No doubt. He even mentioned how some of them weren't striking him as particularly intriguing. I saw a few in the chat box that were akin to "Did you enjoy playing 007?" I mean, really?
:))
I loved the moments when he suddenly looked directly in the camera and was speaking to "us".
Unbelieveable stuff man. What an honour he mentioning my name. Pierce is the man.
Impressive he didn't need glasses to read it I thought! LaserEye I guess :)
The long silences where he read his sheets and looked increasingly disappointed made me laugh quite a bit :D
Seemed to be roughly 2.5K people watching, which isn't too shabby at all. I hope someone from Esquire has told it worked and we could see him! :D
I'm sure I've heard him say before that he hasn't watched Tim's films, or perhaps just Living Daylights, because it was a bit too raw knowing he should have been in that film.
Tim's a good sport too, for sure. I always enjoyed listening to him in interviews.
A bit of me did wonder why he hadn't perhaps read some of the questions beforehand and highlighted the ones he fancied! :D
Are Esquire doing this with any other movies do we know? Not Bonds I guess, they can't just do Bond movies.
Even seeing him type my name out via a Facebook correspondence once was amazing, but hearing it must be on a completely different level.
Of course he praised Craig's approach to the role, but I didn't get the impression that he was being sincere (I think he's still bitter), and it was interesting to hear him make a critical comment later on that the newer films lack humor (or a "light touch," something like that).
People have been pointing out that Brosnan looked uncomfortable, and he most definitely should have had a moderator. More than anything else, though, I got the impression that he was somewhat despondent, not just when he was reminiscing about his first wife (who tragically died young of cancer) and the pandemic, but in general. These are dark times, so it's understandable.
I think you’re reaching to say that he’s bitter about Craig. From my point of view he was very open, sincere and pleasant when praising Craig. He’s never come across as being bitter at Craig personally throughout the years.
Yes, he's always been very gracious about Craig. I think there was at one point an element of envy about Craig playing the Bond that Brosnan has said he wanted to, but I don't think that was anything to do with Craig personally. It was just one of those things. I remember first hearing Brosnan talk about Craig's Bond when Skyfall came out because at that point, he hadn't seen CR or QoS.
I think, regarding the contract, they could well have done some publicity photos showing him signing, in lieu of him signing the real contract.
I did catch that little dig at the new films being humourless too.
It would be cool if he did a short film or something as an older Bond. I'd be into a straight adaption of Octopussy, if not something original. Bond's not older in the OP short story, but it could still work. Finds time in retirement to pay a visit to the man responsible for the death of Hannes Oberhauser.
I still maintain he could’ve played bond until 2014. He looked his early 50s in the November man.
Not a whole lot in terms of new stuff but some interesting tidbits and new flashes due to it being straight from the horse's mouth.
Of course he'd be in Hawaii complete with lovely backdrop and Hawaiian shirt.
His sense of gallantry and genuine warmth really came through and I found it very endearing when he kept checking stuff out and flipping through the printed notes.
In ways it felt like his DAD commentary but looser and more open due to the recording not being in a studio.
It'd be a dream to get more commentaries like Roger did. Those are absolute gold gems.
Sometimes it does help to get in a second voice or an interviewer to help drive the discussion along much like the questions did here. In fact the best of the old EON official commentaries before Roger did his was the off the cuff chat between MGW and Campbell on the GE commentary track. The rest of the Cork produced ones are invaluable and like the documentaries but even more loaded with information. Then the legendary Criterion commentaries are like precious uncensored time capsules.
