The first thing I'd like to talk about is Natalya. In Goldeneye, the Bond girl is a sheltered expert programmer, but she still looks and acts the same as every other bond girl (except a little more competent and forceful but that's just because it was a reboot and they wanted to be more modern and less sexist). I think they should have made her a full on nerd with pop culture shirts, ponytail, badly done or absent makeup, etc. She'd still be played by the same beautiful actress obviously but it would have made more sense.

viral spiral posted:GoldenEye, in my opinion, is the best bond film; it has just the right amount of campiness, action, and style. Famke Janssen's villain is easily one of the most memorable ones, too. Yeah it's my favorite Bond film but I can never tell if that's because of rose colored glasses or not

It's weird that it says "own yourself because no one else here will save you" when James Bond has always constantly been saved by his girls when he loses fights Maybe they stopped doing that in the Craig movies though, I never watched any of them

Fish of hemp posted:That was propably the most 90's trailer there is. I'd say the most early-90s trailer is Super Mario Bros, and the most overall 90s trailer is Jumanji

Watched Skyfall for the first time last night and it was pretty good, even if it lasted way too long and got more into James Bond's past than I would have liked, and it was hard to tell what was possible because the bad guy was basically omnipotent when computers were present, and didn't explain things that could have had interesting explanations (like how Bond survived at the beginning or how the bad guy kept getting all those resources and henchmen after his base was taken) Now I'm watching Spectre and I'm a little annoyed with how long this continuous shot at the beginning is lasting. IMO long takes are like guitar solos where they don't actually make the movie/song better but certain people cum instantly when they experience them

I got kind of bored watching Spectre after an hour and a half and haven't been fully paying attention as it plays on my second monitor and now I don't know why anything's happening

One of the reasons I haven't watched Casino Royale is that it could never live up to the opening

old.flv posted:Goldeneye will always be one of my favorites because of how sexy all the lead actresses where. Yeah Xenia is my type in every way. I don't know if that's because I saw the movie when I was impressionably aged or what

Uncle Boogeyman posted:that tank chase in Goldeneye is a strong contender for coolest thing ever My favorite part is how the Russians barely react to the tank on the streets, just kind of stepping out of the way like it's another car. It's actually totally realistic for Russia

Steve2911 posted:I think it's the hair. He has the hair of a right auld oval office. He just looks the most like the actual James Bond of any of the actors. Speaking of which I'm watching Goldeneye and Trevelyan loving shoots a scientist. not even trying to Minimize Scientist Casualties

The best part about the Goldeneye theme besides the naked ladies you're allowed to see when you're 10 is how Tina Turner seems to be singing as a Trevelyan who's gay for James Bond And I haven't seen this movie in like 15 years but if I remember right Trevelyan never showed interest in any women except as tools to get closer to Bond Come to think of it, a lot of Bond villains either seem to just want women as status symbols, or have some kind of sexual pathology. Maybe that's on purpose to contrast to the protagonist who just earnestly loves loving

Bond's Handler(?) is giving him the 90s woman "oh you" expression. You know the one I mean You'd think they would know better than to send a woman to evaluate him. I like to imagine he's such a lovely secret agent that he only keeps his job by seducing everyone who could give him an honest performance review. Wait a second that's the actual plot of Skyfall

In the area fired on by the Goldeneye everything starts exploding, from computer monitors to chairs. Just like the video game

I really love the visuals of the statue park even if it's a little ham handed. Like when the camera whips from one to another as the USSR anthem plays quietly lol

Why isn't Natalya telling Bond about Ouromov if she was willing to give him Boris?

I always thought it was kind of funny in the Goldeneye game how guards took a long time to aim at you and could never hit you while you could easily hit them but it's exactly like that in the movie. Bond is straight up Rambo in the archive stacks scene (which also is a really cool set for a shootbout btw)
