Skyfall: Bond #23

lmao

looks like it was m that actually lost the flash drive

i hate that movies now have to be all like "you think you know fear... this guy is the scariest guy EVER!!!" cuz of course he's not going to actually be

its cool how that was deflated as soon as we see bardem in his blonde wig

idk man that kinda skeeves me out

be cool if they just pulled walken's zoran wig out of mothballs

it made me think of chris walken as max zorim

beaten...

In that 2nd pic he looks like Lance Henricksen with collagen injections

Or octomom with a new haircut and dye job.

They need to quit being so cautious and let Tarantino direct one, someday.

OTM oh shit I wrote that

“The reason they did Casino Royale all comes down to me,” Quentin said.

“I made it a point, I said I wanted to do Casino Royale. They were already on record as saying the movie was unfilmable but then after I said it and talked about it for a little bit — then the big thing on all the internets was that that was what all the fans wanted to see and so that’s when they said, ‘Oh, maybe it’s not so un-filmable.’

“Actually if I had done the film, I wouldn’t have done it with Daniel Craig, I would have done it with Pierce Brosnan.”

yeah, that would have been great

I'd be up for a book of interviews in which Tarantino takes credit for other successful films he didn't make.

Tarantino talks about how he would have filmed Ben Hur: "Like, yeah. Instead of chariots, they would have been racing 70's muscle cars..."

they allegedly used a bunch of tarantino's ideas in the 06 CR

lol totally, he looks like a fred armisen character

gotta give it to him for being consistent in playing bad guys with weird hair

lol totally, he looks like a fred armisen character

^ actually thought it was Armisen for a couple seconds while watching the trailer

tbqf this movie looks dope and it appears to be a pretty cleanly directed flick, with none of that that marc forster jiggle cam shit from QoS.

watched QoS again the other night and still think it rocks bells, meanwhile Mendes is the biggest cunt on god's green earth and i am wildly cautious

a lot of work has gone into making Bond super awesome again and i can see it being pissed away in one long windy makes you think monologue

QOS sounded good on paper - shortest Bond ever, I think?, pretty kickass Bond girl, etc. - but Forster just bungled the action up too badly.

it also had the lowest stakes of any bond ever iirc... didnt the bad guy want to like corner the bolivian water market or something

Yeah, they pretty much set up this shadowy organization and the villain was a member using their resources to corner the water market. It was kind of an understated "DON'T YOU SEE oil isn't the only valuable resource" plot.

my heart's beating a little faster just reading that

I thought that was a super Bond-y plot twist tbh

also I <3 Mathieu Amalric, but I remember his villain being pretty damn pathetic.

It was really not a great Bond film, but then I can't conceive any Bondometer that scores Craig higher than Brosnan, so..

borsnan

yeah roman polanski jr. was a crummy villain

I thought Brosnan was a good Bond, but the films became very much late-period Bond where there's more goofy shit and gadgets than intrigue and seduction. The action is cranked-up to new levels in the Craig films, but I feel like the "blunt instrument" angle of the new films is a good departure.

QoS having an understated threat is kind of a non-starter when you remember that Casino Royale's main section was about beating the investment specialist of a criminal organization in cards to try to turn him. The exploding plane section was more intense, but it was the setup.

If anything, the water plotline of QoS was taken directly from the news: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_Cochabamba_protests

I hope whoever decided that what Bond needed was ripped-from-the-headlines verisimilitude got thoroughly sacked.

new trailer looks really awesome

you could probably make a good bond movie about bolivian water stealing or whatever, but it would just have to be like, written better, and directed better

i haven't watched the new trailer yet; i hope badem's good: i see him & he just seems like the exact same villain they have now, like a well dressed pouty guy with serious hair. they should mix it up a lil. get a really big, comely & charismatic guy. or a cool talking animal. like a tiger. the action in james bond films now just seems to be him running over terracotta tiled roofs & through narrow fruit stall littered streets.

new trailer looks really awesome

agreed tho tbh i can't get armisen out of my head now

did they do the willem-dafoe-in-wild-at-heart thing to his teeth?

<3 the californians btw

That is frankly stunning.

I am also stunned - I'd have thought she could at least gone the extra yard and worked in something on the moon/june theme.

go Epworth is all i can say. cool bastard.

yeah, the actual song isn't much but her voice plus that production sounds pretty great, sounds like a fucking bond theme. i welcome its oncoming unavoidableness.

anyone who thought chris cornell and jack white were good candidates for bond themes should be fired from any job.

Cogoddamnsign

sounds like a fucking bond theme. i welcome its oncoming unavoidableness.

I just hope that the movie is worthy of the song!

i like 'die another day' but feel madonna missed a real opportunity to go big adult contemporary power ballad there. ever since she got blatantly terrified of being old she's completely ignored that aspect of her sound, at least as big a part of her prime as bringing danceteria to top 40. also got too optimistic at first that this would just shoehorn the title in in passing like 'nobody does it better' did but nope pretty soon 'skyfall' kept popping up like that is a term anglophones actually commonly use. it's like they feel the need to amplify the fact that these recent bond (ie post roger moore) movies have awkward titles.
