She was wooden, period.
@Germanlady - totally agree. McCrory would have been a fantastic MP. You believe she'd challenge DC.
Tanner isn't top-tier enough to earn a death in the final act, but I think he definitely deserves a death in the final part of the second act; similar to Mathis.
In your opinion.
Objectively. You're entitled to your opinion, obviously. Objectively, she was poor though. She was put in the shade by every other actor on the film. I'm not saying it ruins the film, I don't sit wishing she was better, but she falls well short. Overacting of the highest order.
Well, that's settled the. RC7 has delivered his verdict.
Ha! Aren't you a one? And by what scientific measure have you determined that Harris was wooden?
And I agree with you, @Murdock. I never felt she was wooden. That is something some Bond fans will simply continue to disagree on.
Maybe because she didn't overact, had really bad lines, played Moneypenny like a groupie, etc. she was wooden. Or something. IMO, she is second only to Maxwell.
Just to say I am still laughing over all of this exchange.
The scientific measure of watching a wooden performance. I know my comment sounds provocative, which naturally invites people to argue for the sake if it, but sorry, the lines 'Volkswagen Beetles... I think' and 'Some kind of sadistic game' are appalling. If you can't see that then good for you. But objectively they are bad, bad, bad.
No. The delivery of those lines is "arguably" bad. Personally, I don't consider them highlights of her performance, but they were hardly on the dreadful level plumbed by Halle, Richards and Bach. For a rather subjective activity such as acting to be objectively horrendous or brilliant, it must be so clear that there is a consensus among laymen and cognoscenti toward that end. Harris' performance has engendered no such consensus, although all criticism I've seen has been positive.
Did you make this or just find it? Either way, it's brilliant.
It's not 'arguably', it 'is'. The fact you're stating it is arguable suggests you know it's shit. As for Berry, Richards and Bach. One acted alongside Rick Yune, the other a dour Robert Carlyle and the other shared screen time with Richard Kiel. Hardly Dench, Fiennes, Bardem and Craig. While not my favourite Bond, Craig is the best actor to have played the role and makes Harris look less than mediocre. You can only judge Harris by her contemporaries and she's acted off the park by every one of them in SF.
It baffles me that someone apparently so experienced in online discussion doesn't understand the difference between fact and opinion.
She delivers the lines badly.
As it happens, I agree. But I also recognise that it's my opinion. Maybe it's a commonly-held opinion. But even still, that doesn't make it a fact.
Ditto

A slightly random rumour for the Sun to be coming up with if it isn't true. During the build-up to Sf, the Sun were right with some info; Bond's beard, the smahed up VWs and blowing up mi6. However, over the years they have produced an insane amount of bile about the Bond films.
This is coming from the same article that asks if this will be Craig's last, even though he is confirmed to do 'Bond 25,' as well.
I think like that but with Jack Daniels and ice! 8-}
I've tried reason, which you're obviously immune to. Hence, you're an idiot. And worst of all, an idiot blinded by arrogance.
Even though we all know this is BS. J can you change the title to reflect the new rumor
Faulks did in his novel made me throw the book across the room
I was quite shocked by that moment when I read that part of the book myself, and at that time I hadn't read any Fleming to know how the character would/should have acted.
Bond is definitely a man who revels in the world's treasure wherever he travels, but when he is on a mission he would not alter his mind and judgement with drugs. That really irked me.
