Hopefully. Unfortunately Waltz' shitty Blofeld's still in it, as apparent in the trailer.

I thought that character had potential, in that they kept hinting at him being not only ominous but truly weird, but the weird part of his torture chair hijinks ("I'm going to selectively destroy parts of Bond's brain!") fell short and it just seemed like normal villain torture, they gave the cat no real acknowledgment, and the entire "I believe we're meant to be impressed" thing about the museum room with the meteor fragment fell flat. Mendes seemed to get that the villains should be eccentric but was too *serious* to lean into it to the point of being dismissive.
Let Blofeld get mocked for being a weirdo obsessed with his daddy loving Bond more. Is the cat his best friend? Does he sit around admiring his rock in a room? He's out there killing entire classes of people through Spectre -- give him some shit for doing all that only to sit alone with a cat in the middle of the desert!

i saw the torture bit of spectre while channel-hopping over the holidays and it's still weird and hilarious to me that blofeld threatens to use a drill to destroy the part of bond's brain that recognises faces, then fuckin' does it, and it's never entirely clear whether bond spends the rest of the movie suffering complete face blindness or not
― que pasa picasso (bizarro gazzara), Wednesday, 15 January 2020 10:44 (four years ago) link
at a minimum the rest of spectre takes place in bond's dreams during his post-op coma -- ideally he has not yet woken up for the entirety of the upcoming film and it ends with his death without ever waking up and everyone else too
― mark s, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 11:55 (four years ago) link
There should have been a post-credits scene where Bond wakes up and he's actually Archer reviving from his coma

Actually, now that I think about it, that would be a cool concept for a film, the dying dream of a super-spy

An adaptation of Joe Haldeman's All My Sins Remembered would fit that bill iirc. (It's a shame that Haldeman's work hasn't been adapted widely.)

There were a couple of excellent episodes of The Leftovers which had that kind of vibe.
Saw the new trailer at IMAX ahead of 1917 last night and it got me more stoked than I would have anticipated for this film. It came straight after one for the woeful looking Birds of Prey, mind you.

Birds of Prey looks dope, too

hoping some of the smart decisions around this (craig bringing in pwb, billie eilish being tapped for the theme) really reflect the quality of the movie
― american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 15 January 2020 20:11 (four years ago) link
Change "super-spy" to "unstoppable criminal force of nature" and you've got Point Blank, the film that introduced the cockpunch to Hollywood.

it's the "origin story" for Bond, and there's a reason why there's never been a paternity suit subplot in any of the flix

No Time To Die refers to his dick and balls, which are canonically already dead, you see

In either case, Craig can lay claim to starring in both the longest and the shortest Bond films ever, with Quantum holding the latter title at 106 minutes.

The new one grinds to a halt halfway through thanks to a twenty minute discussion between M, Q and Bond about how Brexit has affected Q Branch's talent pool.

There's a scene where Bond is killing time in a safe house where they insert an entire episode of Rick and Morty.

I’m kind of suspicious that it’s not just a market issue. They brought Hans Zimmer in to do the score in January which seems like a little bit of a rush. No clue if this means they’re done editing and it’s going to sit there until fall or if this gives some breathing room on the work
― mh, Wednesday, 4 March 2020 23:06 (four years ago) link
I’m imaging some scenario where they saw the first cut with the complete score and it’s Zimmer doing the Moby remix of the Bond theme from the 90s with some orchestral flourishes

Hang on.. does 'Zimmer' no longer mean he actually does the score? I'm obvs being real naive here.

Zimmer not a very good choice for Bond really - I can't think of any of his scores which have much in way of swagger.
