Bond #25: NO TIME TO DIE

Bond card action. Baccarat games that last eight hours.

huit
BONK

post-Ronin, Bourne 1 had the best car action, other than that it's pretty dry

mission impossibles ALL have dope car sequences
john wick 1 2 and 3

Dur, DRIVE!

And, while Baby Driver can't stop patting itself on the back, the chases and general 'cars as destructive forces' moments are quality.

I want to know more about the crazy folding wing glider-submarine steel-throwing-star-looking thing

i was like O_O

IT LOOKS SO DOPE

James Bond in 2020 has to understand that he sucks and it doesn't matter to be relevant

Like, his best fung ku is overrun by Trump saying "fake news" so take it easy buddy

This definitely looks like the best/least self serious since CR.

163 minutes!

#NoTimeToDie Is Officially the Longest Bond and a Major Pain for ‘Venom’ https://t.co/hZ7ihn9gOS pic.twitter.com/9vnzlkg8yi

shit Bond's fighting Venom?

163 minutes? Sounds like ... plenty of time to die.

...but no time to watch.

You could watch the first 20 minutes, leave to go see "Venom," then come back for the last 20.

No Time to Kill

The Craig-era doc/fancy EPK on Apple TV this week was pretty good -- just Craig, Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli in a rolling voiceover conversation covering the past fifteen years interspersed with/playing over a variety of clips, press appearances, behind the scenes stuff and so forth. Pretty smart idea too to get the 'here's the final scene he shot and the farewell to everyone' moment out there now.

oh i need to watch that. what’s it called again?

when the Bond is 163 minutes long

long movies are better simply because there's more movie to watch

as I was saying earlier, Bond 25 is actually Bond 26

oh i need to watch that. what’s it called again?

Being James Bond. Even if you don't subscribe I think you can just rent it.

thx!

wtf

my bladder has shrunk since I went to theater movies last and I hope the new 007 is next to the restrooms, good bless

Still, all in for Fukunaga long-winded Bond times

Tickets on sale in the US at least. Seeya there, if you're so inclined.

def expressed this opinion here before but i really don't like skyfall or spectre but god every trailer for this is goddamn awesome, i can't wait, hope it's as good as it seems

Last movie I saw in a theatre was the third John wick, which was really enjoyable. Maybe time to go back to see this

I thought that before I found out about the length. Why on earth would a Bond film have to be that long? To allow room for all the subtle, nuanced character development?

the mission impossible movies are pretty long and they’re also pretty good so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

got a ticket for this

i guess this is a sign of the times/also a sign how often i go to big budget tentpoles but there are only like two screenings out of how many that are "regular" screenings, everything else is like Imax or "VIP 19+" or this new Screen-X thing (270 degree viewing experience sounds better on paper i bet), jesus

Or the “D-Box” where the seats move around with the action.

Not paying for “d-box” unless I’m going to see high life

it’s my d in a box

my favorite bond movie is ohmss, thus a long running time is actually promising to me

that movie also has a ton of character development. i realize we're many decades and several bonds removed from it tho

i went to one of those REgal 4D showings and it was really dope for Star Wars, but made absolutely no sense for Wonder Woman.

why should the seat rock unless you're in a vehicle or a sex scene like really. why does smoke appear for no reason

i went to see It Part 2 in 4DX and i don't know if it made the awful movie better or worse that the 4DX malfunctioned and everything started going off at once (scent, smoke, mist, seat rocking, etc.)

anyway, all of 4DX's "scents" going off at once is particularly pungent

lmao at "or a sex scene"

lol at all of the scents going off at once.

smellovision returns!

I want to smell the aroma of bobbi flekman's suite when they discuss smell the glove

no time to smell

Loved it. Flew by. Looked amazing; the colours were truly gorgeous. Not enough Ana De Armas.

Dan Craig era ranked;

1 Casino Royale
2 Skyfall
3 No Time To Die
4 Quantum..
5 Spectre

ok good to know. going Sunday :D

General agreement with piscesx, I might rank it 2 rather than 3 but yeah 3 out of 5 top notch Bonds is a good record for Craig easy; he had a great run. Very much flew by, Fukunaga is just a solid action director in combination with the overall production machine. Smartly front-loaded trailers they had in terms of what was from where in the film. My sis was with me and it's the first film she's seen in a theater since COVID hit -- loved both going back and the film, so hey!

I will say doing A Full Series Rewatch as we did over the course of last year and this (along with all the commentaries and special features and etc) served watching this well, there are several deep cuts. (And one utterly obvious one.)

title kind of misleading tbh
