Darko posted:Eh, Goldfinger is really good too, with a giant note as to the time and place where it came out (Look at Catch Me if You Can before watching Goldfinger to get the idea of what it did for the era). I just can’t love Goldfinger, as much as I know I should. Between the misogyny of “men talk”, to the fact that Bond barely does anything the entire movie other than be a prisoner and observe what’s happening, to the blatant rape of Pussy Galore...yeah, it’s not a good movie. The car sure was cool, though.

Bring Martin Campbell back.

Cacator posted:I think Campbell has said he'd only do it if there was something new to work with, i.e. a new actor. Craig wanted Villeneuve to direct but he's too busy with Dune. I guess that's his "thing", working with new Bonds before they've settled into the role, since he did Goldeneye, too.

Basebf555 posted:Has a Bond debut ever been a financial failure? Because they obviously operate under this questionable idea that once a Bond is established we should squeeze as much out of their run as possible before risking a recasting, but is that even based on any real evidence? If you recast Bond and give the franchise a fresh start, historically people typically respond to that and show up to buy tickets right? I don't have numbers, but I imagine they weren't happy with the numbers they got from Lazenby's debut, considering they went back to Connery for the next movie.

Basebf555 posted:I was under the impression that they 100% wanted Lazenby back but he was a weirdo and hated being Bond so he quit(or demanded so much money that it was basically the same as quitting). Oh gently caress, you're right. I remember an interview now where he said he regretted turning them down, but someone convinced him that, in the hippy culture at the time, continuing to play a government killer would be bad for his career. Oops.

Grain of salt, but this is interesting. Danny Boyle quit James Bond franchise after he ‘REFUSED to kill off Daniel Craig’s 007 in spectacular finale to 25th film’ quote:Daniel Craig, who is said to be filming his final 007 movie, and producer Barbara Broccoli are believed to have wanted to Bond to die in a “spectacular finale”, according to sources.

I'm assuming they mean Skyfall, since it has the whole, "Bad guy gets captured on purpose to execute his crazy complicated plan" plot line, but I'm not sure.
