btw if anyone’s in this thread bcz they’re working up to NTTD, the best parts are totally the imax scenes so it’s worth catching in that format if you have the choice

Thanks, Ned.
QoS is a mess but … underrated, even by me sometimes.
Tomorrow: NTTD!

huh just checked and it looks like craig is the longest-running bond thus far? (time-wise, not in total number of movies). fifteen years!

dude has definitely done his timei wondered to mr veg if he’ll throw a party when his official post-release duties are completed. i mean as we know from prev bonds, money-truck aside, it’s one hell of a gulag

He filmed TWO Benoit Blanc flicks in between making No Time To Die and having to promote it on release

I would very much like a post-apocalyptic HBO show set in the, uh, island lair

fukunaga did an amazing job, whole thing looked amazing and was super varied in terms of color lighting
rami malek was terrible. not remotely scary, idiotic accent, everything he said was so groanworthy pretentious and vacuous (even by Bond villain standards), also for some reason his skin condition improved throughout the movie? by the end it just looked like mild acne scars
léa seydoux is insanely beautiful and every moment she was on screen i was jaw agog. however daniel craig and ana de armas have the best chemistry, wish she was in it more. havana scene was so fun
plot was so dumb. when ralph fiennes is like “we didn’t mean for this bio chemical weapon capable of exterminating entire races of people to become a WMD” lol
overall i loved it. i think italy was my favourite action setpiece (i was hooting and hollering in the movie theatre when he started motorcycling up stairs and flying over bridges) but they were all very entertaining

Lol at his name being Lyutsifer Safin

i haven’t seen it since it was in theatres and was really high when i saw it so this might be totally inaccurate but i remember the action in quAntum being peak shaky cam era disorienting blurry close combat. and i am grateful of how far we are from that now. loved the scene at the end on the stairwell (the shadow!). felt kinda like a first person shooter
― flopson, Saturday, 16 October 2021 21:57 (two years ago) link
I just watched it and yes, it was def like that

quantum’s lone flaw for me is the action directing

everything else about that movie rules tho
fyi flopson there is a No Time To Die thread, you'll find more discussion there! which also, some of us are consciously avoiding until we've gotten to the film.
