Skyfall: Bond #23

casino royale had plenty of one-liners, not that i can remember any of them?

James Bond: [laughing - after being stuck five times with a knotted rope] Now the whole world's gonna know that you died scratching my balls!

i'd like some good one-liners and not weird stuff like the ones in skyfall like where he lolled @ the woman being shot

Yeah. A while ago I rewatched For Your Eyes only, and it was kinda weird to realize that movie had the strongest female protagonist in any Bond movie made before or after it. Not long after that I went to see Skyfall, and it had the rapey boat scene, the aforementioned "just shoot her" scene, plus the Moneypenny subplot with the implication that women aren't cut to be field agents, and the ending where the proper gender order was re-established with a new male M and a Moneypenny behind the secretary desk... Give me your over-the-top crossbow-wielding female avengers and thighs-of-death assassins over this kind of "realism" anyday.

Yeah totally, all of that is the main reason I really can't imagine ever wanting to watch this again, that and it being eight years long.

I don't know why but I'm again pondering how unfortunate it was that there was an actual Bond film with Christopher Walken and Grace Jones and they fucked it up by having a weak plot

tbh there isnt any suggestion throughout craig's tour of duty that he's cut out to be a field agent himself, it's three movies of disaster upon disaster.

plus he really doesnt seem to like it

it's a job, right

we've been spoiled by seeing genius super-ninjas in the Bourne franchise

I really hope they do give it to Idris Elba next. Seems very unlikely though.

Idris Elba for everything imo

sadly he'll be too old by the time craig ages out

If they go with another white dude, Fassbender has a very Bondian way about him

He can reprise stringer bell in crossover sequel: The Bell Only Rings Twice

lol

The Spy Who Luthered Me

the name's Pentecost. Stacker Pentecost.

yeah fassy would be great

like I'm almost convinced that he's irl Bond

every tv interview I've seen him on, I keep waiting for him to shoot a watch dart at the interviewer or pull a martini from somewhere

the fass reminds me a bit of cranston

hmmm

yknow....

Fassbender's real-life history of violence against women would put him right in the Connery tradition.

haha i spent a lot of 12 years a slave imagining cranston playing epps instead of fassbender

this was on tv

i had forgotten, or never clocked, that just before the infamous "waste of a good scotch" line when bardem pours craig the 50-year-old macallan and clinks bond's glass, saying "to women we have loved", bond actually drinks it. bond doesn't drink that, does he? a villain's toast? (from a bottle no one else has taken a sip of yet, even?)

if they're going to reboot the villains, what the next one needs is a really vicious train fight as per 'From Russia..' between Bond and a Shaw-esque psycho thug.

pisces 'Broccoli' x tips his hand!

the scene where Silva shoots up Parliament actually made my anxiety spike when I was watching it again. even though it's different countries obv, after January 6th, anything resembling that (or worse) = revulsion.

well shot scene though.

also aren't the realtors angry that Bond destroyed a home he didn't own anymore
