Next Bond movie should be about James going into the private sector cause the Brits agreed in a referendum to sink the whole island.

esperterra posted:GoldenEye I would add On Her Majesty's Secret Service, because Diana Rigg is the best, and that ice skating rink entrance is probably the best scene in this dumb franchise. Also the theme tune is some wild stuff.

lelandjs posted:James (and the film as a whole) reverts back to being terribly misogynistic. Immediately after he’s told that his companion is a former sex slave, he immediately invades her personal space and and forces himself on her. When Silva tells Bond to shoot the shot glass off the same woman’s head later in the film, James doesn’t attempt some daring escape (like he would have in literally any other of his films), instead he chooses to shoot—and misses. He is then not terribly concerned that he caused the woman’s death. Skyfall is Sam Mendes being very mad about his divorce from Kate Winslet.

Wheat Loaf posted:I think Octopussy has the overall worst song. Much like the movie, it's just worthless. Die another Day song is also bad, but at least it has Madonna singing about Freud and poo poo. Just baffling.

Timby posted:I don't know that they'll ever go with a woman as Bond, but I have to imagine they'll look very closely at options other than "attractive white guy" when they replace Craig after this movie. I seriously doubt it. Their first option was Tom Hiddleston til he blew it. Craig continues to be Bond because they still haven't found a suitable attractive white dude to replace him.

Steve2911 posted:Out of curiosity, how did Hiddleston blow it? Taylor Swift of all things. Bond folk don't want an actor who thinks is bigger than the role, and everything about the Swift and Hiddleston romance was a major publicity stunt circus, so off the list he went.

Wheat Loaf posted:I'm not sure who the favourites are at the moment; the bookies liked James Norton, who was the star of a TV miniseries called McMafia which I haven't seen but have heard was really underwhelming. If they break with tradition and go for an established star, I reckon it'd most likely be Tom Hardy or maybe Henry Cavill. It's going to be the Poldark dude so they can get all ladies back on board with Bond.

Baron Porkface posted:The problem is this has been the commentary of every bond film since at least Goldeneye. With no payoff. Again the whole problem isn't the character's relevance, is that the UK has no real standing in major world politics and intrigue. Russian government kills a bunch of former soviet/Russian spies in downtown London with gas and all the Brits do is not let the prince go see the world cup.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I think the best moment of this is in QOS, where he's just laid up with some random girl in a beach shack drinking Heineken. Just made me think, Bond, you piece of poo poo... That is from Skyfall. It's easy to remember because Skyfall and Sam Mendes hate women.

Just let Nolan do his Bond movie already.

With Nolan we might just get Tom Hardy grunting his way through a James Bond movie and that's the only way to salvage this franchise at this point.

Eva Green makes Casino Royale way better than it actually should be. Much like how Diana Rigg does all the work in OHMSS.

Wheat Loaf posted:Recently I heard that one of the creative differences cited as a reason for Boyle's departure was disagreement with Daniel Craig over the casting a Russian villain. Does Craig have Tom Cruise-like influence behind-the-scenes? He has a lot of influence over script and casting, especially for all the extra bond ladies that pop up in his movies.

I don't know why they continue to have Craig in the role as every single time he does press for Bond movies he goes on a rant about doing bond poo poo. Eon should just swallow their pride and get Cavill. Failing that mumbles Hardy and Chris Nolan will likely deliver something incredible.

Mantis42 posted:Because Craig's movies have made a ton of money and he's really good in the role. Him grumbling in interviews about it doesn't matter. He wasn't grumbling about it, he talked how he rather slit his wrists before doing another bond movie. At this point most Craig movies have been complete production disasters, so nobody is making tons of money out of this beyond advertising money which only needs the brand and a good looking dude in a suit. Edit:It seems that Craig is being paid 25 million dollars just for the movie, and up to 100 million dollars from the movie revenue. Guess his the one making the tons of money.

CelticPredator posted:Imagine working a really really long and tiring shift at work, where you had to deal with a ton of stuff you didn't expect, and everthing kept piling, and the moment you clock out, someone says "Hey, you ready to do it again tomorrow!?" Daniel Craig gets paid millions of dollars and even more on box office and imagine rights, he aint some overworked and underpaid loser teamster in these films. He also spends his days doing these movies in the best and fanciest parts of the world and having extra women actresses hired so he can gently caress them on the side. Long and tiring. Get the gently caress out of here man. Electronico6 fucked around with this message at 09:13 on Aug 24, 2018 |

CelticPredator posted:Yeah you’re right. Films aren’t a job at all and in fact very easy to make and require no work at all. They are a job, but the millionaire rear end in a top hat who ends up getting millions of dollars in pay and is in part responsible for making these "long and tiring shifts" is the last person to complain about it. nemesis_hub posted:I dont know why people keep bringing up Nolan as a potential director. I like some of his movies a lot but he really sucks at action. Nolan talks alot how Bond movies made him want to direct and how he would love to do one eventually. Inception ends up being his casting tape for the job.

DrVenkman posted:It's still a long process, particularly if you're the lead. Asking someone hey you want to do this again right after they've had a lovely experience with it isn't going to get you the brightest answer. Craig behaviour and manias are one of the reasons of why the last productions have been extremely lovely experiences. He spent most of Spectre fighting with Mendes, and this production he apparently already got the director fired and delaying it once again. The problem with Daniel Craig has with James Bond shoots is Daniel Craig.

Nolan can do a fine action or fight scene when he can be bothered to. You can see it very well in Rises with the two punch out scenes involving Bane and Batman. The first looks, sounds(!), and feels like it was heavily planned, choreographed, and edited, while the second was probably done on a lazy sunday afternoon.

Solid choice, but he could barely handle Pizzolato in S1 of True Detective, I wonder if he'll be able to suffer Eon/Craig.
