Skyfall: Bond #23

yeah, also why would moneypenny appear now when she was already there in the 60s !

The Bond Ouroboros

about M being sacked, it's also weird that Fiennes tells her they decided to let her go, she says no, and they just say ok you can stay !

ha ha yes. "Just kidding! Of course you can still run MI6"

Samantha Bond played Moneypenny during the Brosnan years, which means there was already a Moneypenny during Judi Dench's time as M.

xp

so is moneypenny like a codename like M ?

I don't think I have thought/discussed so much about a bond movie !

I... guess so? Maybe? There's really no logical way to make the franchise hang together as a cohesive whole, fun as it is to try.

Maybe they should have a Crisis on Infinite Bonds movie where Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan and Craig are forced to team up to fight a secret evil hellbent on rewriting reality. Then reboot the whole thing with Milla Jovovich as Bond. Directed by Paul WS Anderson.

ahah, that would be brilliant (the all bonds together) !
and there would be CGI versions of young connery, moore... and they would meet their old self !

I guess it depends on whether, when Naomie Harris says she is Eve Moneypenny, you think she is saying "I am M's secretary now"

I would watch the living shit out of an Anderson/Jovovich Bond.

Doesn't she talk about being given a desk job? If they were trying to give any impression other than "I am M's secretary now" I think they failed.

I'd watch a Bond / Resident Evil crossover for the lulz.

M does get sacked, fiennes tells her she has 2 months to get out

someone said it already but it's pretty fun cos when she gets sacked, M says she doesn't want to leave the MI6 in a worse state than she got it... but things only get worse and worse after that !

That's less irony than Silva's plan working, though.

I did love the He says you sold his ass down the river / I sold his ass all the way down the river.

come on, mi6 only gets... blown up...

xp, haha yes, "You bet your ass I gave him to the Chinese, and I'd do it again!'

Oh man, the product shilling in this film was so less overt than it is in other places. My theater didn't have any Craig-starring commercials before the movie, luckily. bg otm about Fringe being a bad offender, but it always struck me that those scenes existed in some sort of aside and could be ignored completely.

On the other hand, I rewatched the tv series Alias and there's a pivotal chase scene in one episode where a F-150 is chasing a Mustang for about five minutes

If I were M, I would be super-pissed at the Chinese for not just killing the dude

Things I learned from this movie: If I had to live/work next to a building with a gigantic electronic billboard that constantly made it appear that my whole building was collapsing straight down, I'd probably throw up a lot.

The product placement in Casino Royale was a lot worse, btw. I especially loved the resort in Nassau whose security camera backups were conspicuously done on SONY BLU-RAY.

Alias was shilling for F-150s?

Things I "learned" from this movie - cyanide tablets don't work, but can fuck up your teeth.

Hang on, I misunderstood what you meant there mh... carry on.

Things I learned from this movie: if you're having trouble aiming your weapons following serious bullet wounds, shoot two teacups under the tutelage of Albert Finney and you'll be cured.

Things I learned from this movie: radios are badass.

hahaha ya. "ever hear of RADIO!?!?!"

I love how Bardem says "James!"

i love how he says bond

I love how Bardem says everything tbh

bardem was lots of fun in this.
him and the komodo dragons.

Is his hair in this perhaps more ridiculous than his Anton Chigurh bowl cut?

I'm bleaching my hair to see if it works on me, brb

Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan and Craig are forced to team up to fight a secret evil hellbent on rewriting reality

Or just have them in a deathmatch?

Meantime, just now on Twitter:

Hospital employee to a full waiting room looking for a patient: "Last name BOND....James? Are you kidding me?!"

Of course the old man scooted over with his walker and said "yes. I'm Bond. James Bond." I love this place.

And that man... was Sean Connery.

FB friend said that George Lazenby needs to let it go.

some throwaway line in this movie about "orphans making the best secret agent recruits" has me worried they're going to do some spy kids-y oliver twist young james bond spinoff.

they already did, it's called Spy Kids

after the events of "Spy Kids 3-D", the parents and Danny Trejo all die in a tragic tandem parasailing accident

could always resurrect this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_James_Bond_Junior_003%C2%BD

Charlie Higson has been writing those for a while.

There's only been one 007 I think - they retire the numbers.

Yeah, I was making a bad joke based on past casting changes. Although "Casino Royale" kind of screws up any kind of continuity by establishing that Bond acquired 00 status with his second kill in the Czech Republic; I.e. some time after 1993.

Obviously doesn't hold up at all, but I kind of like it nonetheless.

Works until you introduce parents named Bond into the movies. Unless... they have brain imprinting technology

It would also mean Moneypenny is a codename too.

timothy dalton would make for a bitchin bond villain.

^^he kind of already played one on Chuck, which had a lot of fun messing around with that idea.

This spin-off also has a couple of books out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moneypenny_Diaries
