Well they're both proof that their respective fanbases are content with consuming endless amounts of bland gruel.
Us Bond fans prefer our caviar. ;)
I can't imagine MGW likes melodramatic Bond more than the Connery-Brosnan era.
60/40 in favor of Barbara?
He co-wrote Licence To Kill: which is all about the drama, and this-one's-personal stylings. Plus his plan for Bond 15 was to do a 007 origin story.
I want more of a random killing machine, less of a personal statement.
:)
Every idea here is terrible.
You're joking, but I'd be fine with that.
Every idea here boils down to "let's not make James Bond movies anymore."
Acclaimed writers, my posterior. :-&
Only half-joking :D
I’m a big Brosnan fan and don’t mind that style at all. I think it helps make his era unique. And my favorite Bond scene ever is the tank.
Man, I generally like reading The Guardian, but everything I've ever seen from them on Bond is just bad. This actually isn't a bad idea for an article, but it just seems like the editor didn't care at all.
Edit: I mean for heaven's sake. That could run on a parody website and you wouldn't need to change a word.
But no. Guardian asked a bunch of numpties who think they should make a James Bond movie without James Bond.
Before we talk about charm, talent and looks, we now have to consider whether an actor identifies as a kitchen appliance.
That was, um, interesting.
And by interesting I mean all the ideas are bad.
Yep well its The Guardian. Bad ideas and takes are the norm with them.
:D
The last one is okay?
Yeah, the last gentleman seems to at least have any idea what he is talking about. I don’t like the idea of going full Codename theory and don’t think they’ll ever go there, but the very last thing of just ignoring it all together is genuinely how I think it will go. Possibly something in the vein of „That never happened to the other fella“ but I think they will just get on with it just like Moore, Dalton and Brosnan did.
That's the decision Doctor Who took and see how its worked out for them?
The ending shook me (although I had partly guessed what would happen in advance), but at no point did I contemplate the idea that there would be no more Bond films after this one.
I did however expect them to announce something like an official hiatus if he did end up dying. Barbara Broccoli sometimes talks about the future a bit like that (“People always ask, ‘Oh, who’s the next James Bond?’ It’s like asking a bride as she’s going up to the altar who’s her next husband going to be. I don’t really want to think about who is going to be the next person until I absolutely have to.”), so I really thought they would officially say: We'll take a break, let the dust settle on Craig, Michael G. Wilson retires and we figure out a new leadership structure at EON, we'll wait for the Amazon-MGM thing to settle, so we know who our partners there are going to be, maybe work on a couple other projects and when we feel like our heads are a bit clearer then we will start thinking about what Bond is going to be in the future and who we are going to hire for the script, direction and the role.
It seems like that isn't happening and the wheels for Bond 26 are already starting to move.
I didn't think it would be "it" for Bond but after witnessing that ending I needed some reassurance. It was almost like a comfort blanket I guess but I have never been more nervous waiting for the end of the credits
It was understandable that they left it till the end, but cruel as those few minutes were anxious
