CelticPredator posted:That would be Renhard from The World is Not Enough. A waste of Robby Coltrane. I also liked the idea of Colonel Moon/Gustave Graves. A man who under goes gene therapy to become a mogul is unique...but they wasted it with a lame revenge plot. I maintain that Die Another Day is the first half of one of the best Bond films attached to second half of one of the worst. The bit with John Cleese was kinda bad but otherwise everything else from before the ice palace was really good.

Yeah it is. The sword fight is one of the best modern sword fights I can think of. I also loved the idea of Bond getting captured and tortured for months. That's was really unique to this series. It brought Bond down a few notches. And then put him way the gently caress back up when he started surfing 100 foot waves from giant lasers. Also, the movie had one of the best set ups for a one liner, that they for some reason didn't use. When Bond is about to pull the parachute to suck Graves into the turbine he says "Time to face gravity!" a call back to a line Graves said before. But see....what he should've said was "It's time to meet your biggest fan!"  Or I always thought so.

Skwirl posted:That makes sense, the only other one I can remember along those lines (post Moore) is the dude who can't feel pain, but they did so little with him I can't remember his name or which movie he was in. That's right, the dude who couldn't feel pain, but went "Ow!" every time James Bond hit him. (Though Robert Carlyle is always amazing in whatever he is in anyway.)

I still wish Robbie Coltrane got a better part in that movie. Valentine was a fun character in GoldenEye. But he did get a nice end. Hell, I even liked Jon Doe Baker in the two Bond flicks he shows up in. (Well...3 if you count the fact that he was A VILLAIN in the first Dalton movie)

CelticPredator posted:Podrace needs to go for sure. I liked the idea of what Topher Grace did with splicing all three of them together. I don't think any of those movies are decent in their own way personally, but there are small aspects that are interesting. Making them into one solid narrative would be really interesting to see, and I'd imagine a lot better. is Topher Graces cut available anywhere or is it still private?

Best part of Goldeneye (and thus the entire franchise since it's the one I like the most) is Minnie Driver's part.

Getting into podcasts lately. What are some good Film podcasts, on the analysis end of the spectrum? I don't want to listen to a bunch of reviews, but stuff like Battleship Pretension is pretty ok so far.

I watched Die Another Day when I was around 11 and I hated it SO MUCH. I thought it was stupid and boring. My friends made me rewatch it when I was 20 and it was suddenly one of my favourite movies ever. How could you hate all that laser action?? Or the ridiculous car fight?? I love how it seems to have absolutely no shame about how silly it is.

The bit with John Cleese was kinda bad but otherwise everything else from before the ice palace was really good. The pre-credits scene is pitch-perfect, and the immediately succeeding scenes (prisoner transfer, the simulation, even Cleese) are really, really good, but that movie grinds to a loving halt as soon as Bond goes to Cuba and starts exchanging horrific dialogue with Halle Berry, and it never recovers.

Can I make a small case for the gene therapy place? That's a wonderfully weird James Bond location. After that scene, I will agree with you. (But the Halle Barry scenes are pretty terrible in Cuba)

Yeah it has its moments for sure but by no means would I call it a good movie or even an overall fun one. e: I was planning on seeing Brick Mansions tomorrow anyway, and while looking up showtimes, I saw that Under The Skin is playing at the theater I was planning to go to. A few of my friends have given it high praise but I knew nothing about it, so I checked out the OP of the thread on it here in CD and watched both trailers. Holy poo poo, I am so sold now. Doing a double feature of Brick Mansions and Under The Skin tomorrow. Rageaholic fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Apr 25, 2014 |

I took a nap earlier this evening, and I briefly traveled to a parallel universe where the new hot summer jam was a song by Drake about how he wanted to gently caress celebrity impersonators, and how he actually preferred it to the real thing (?), and it was called "Doppelbanger".

I hear this all the loving time, and from people in the arts no less. I mean it might be true in some cases, but what an expression of lazy cynicism it is.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Die Another Day is one of your favorite movies ever?! Well, maybe that was an exaggeration. But I did like it! To the person who just saw Watership Down: read the novel too! The film is a good adaptation but it cuts a lot of great stuff out, such as more crazy rabbit mythology.

My school's GSA met tonight and we watched Before Stonewall. It's a pretty drat good documentary. It turns out LGBT history has a lot of nuance that isn't common knowledge, and it's covered pretty well in that film. You all should check it out when you can. Amazon Prime has it.User-Friendly posted:I can't even begin to describe how much I hate the argument that "you're spending more time thinking about this than the creators did!"
