they call helen mirren "ma'am" prounounced, sort of, "mahm" in prime suspect all the time
how is prime suspect? I watched the americanized version and it was ok
― mh, Monday, 26 November 2012 19:27 (thirteen years ago)
literally the best television show of all time, probably.

what is james bond's philosophy of tipping
― mookieproof, Monday, 26 November 2012 19:29 (thirteen years ago)
just the tipping?
bond thinks tipping is just some city in china you fly to in order to assassinate people.

i mean i was thinking why have any music cues at all, just the sounds of the fight and glass breaking and the wind whipping in the tower
im not really arguing for vangelis but the way they used the music in that scene was so annoying -- you had this great evocative photography & staging that was already communicating a vibe and the score just ends up pushing it over the top and ruining it
― max, Monday, 26 November 2012 20:23 (thirteen years ago)
i didn't really notice the music in that scene. i did notice that they forgot to put spots on Q when they called to attention how spotty he was.
― Philip Nunez, Monday, 26 November 2012 20:33 (thirteen years ago)
yeah i didn't really thought it stuck out as being bad but then the incidental music in Bonds DID used to be the most amazing incidental music ever.

it's been a mixed bag, really

I'm cool with it as it acts like the previous three movies never happened, and it doesn't suck

Strictly speaking Casino and Quantum made for a two-parter.

I'm English and I have no idea how to pronounce ma'am, because it's a word actual people never use. I suppose I would say it 'marm'.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 04:06 (thirteen years ago)
What would be the female gendered equivalent of "excuse me, sir?"
― mh, Tuesday, 27 November 2012 04:14 (thirteen years ago)
but how do you pronounce "marm"? because for me (AmE) that scans as rhyming with "harm", as in "schoolmarm"
― Toshiro Mifune is my spirit animal (silby), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 04:52 (thirteen years ago)
hang on have i imagined "just the facts, ma'am" as being some mad exoticism that no American has ever heard?
― Shane Breen is a gigantic tool (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 05:03 (thirteen years ago)
hardly. It's a catchphrase from Dragnet.

Just watched. As a pun lovin' guy I was disappointed by the mediocre wordplay in this.

Re pronunciation of maam: You know how they pronounce it in the film 'skyfall'? That's how we pronounce it.
― caek, Tuesday, 27 November 2012 09:25 (thirteen years ago)

Nice article on the special effects: http://www.fxguide.com/featured/skyfall/
At the very least you should check out the b-roll from the train chase.

Obviously I am an idiot for not even considering that the Komodos were fake but it's cool CGI is now regularly convincing enough to fool the foolish.
― ledge, Thursday, 29 November 2012 09:56 (thirteen years ago)
i figured they were fake from their movement and the fact that they were eating grown men
― turds (Hungry4Ass), Thursday, 29 November 2012 14:06 (thirteen years ago)
spoiler.
It's generally easy to tell with things that are supposed to be alive. Buildings and vehicles and that can be extremely convincing.

I was hoping he would sleep with one of the Komodo dragons.

saw this today with my boys (16 and 9).never been a big bond fan, but we all loved it .. when the aston came into play there was a large cheer from a bunch of blokes at the back of the cinema !
― mark e, Sunday, 2 December 2012 22:04 (thirteen years ago)
The bloke in the cinema who cheered at the Aston Martin when I saw it was my sixty year-old Dad sitting next to me.
