Crazyman Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 3 hours ago, James Bond said: I'm not sure how lucky he truly is. It seems anybody has a chance with her. I just haven't met her yet. I guarantee that "relationship" is 1000000% fake. Totally for the publicity. Also look how many dudes have dumped her. I think her recent one she broke up, but other than that almost all of them dropped her. Either she's doing them for publicity or she's legit nuts...and not in the good way. Still want a Trumpian villain for the next movie, especially if they don't bring back Waltz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 There's a big pro-Brosnan circle jerk on /r/JamesBond on Reddit right now.

Crazyman Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) Holy shit, /r/JamesBond fucking loves Brosnan a little too much. Goldeneye is ranked as the 3rd best movie (up to DAD), TMD is top 10 and TWINE is 12th. Both Dalton movies are in the top 6, however, so I have no idea what to think Also: Edited August 15, 2016 by Crazyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen it I don't think. Goldeneye is top 10 I'd say maybe, but the rest are towards the bottom IMO. I will say though - I actually sort of enjoyed TWINE on my last watch. It could've been a pretty good Bond film, it just missed the mark by a little a few too many times. But it had a good plot, good villains, dat Q farewell, and nice exotic locations.

It's in the stickied post about Die Another Day (lulz). Here it is. I'm actually a bigger fan of TWINE than almost everyone here, I believe (going back to our rankings from like a year ago). I think with a little work and a better casting director, the movie would've been close to top 10, and possibly tied with Goldeneye as Brosnan's best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappyTron Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I have to say, but I honestly don't think that there has been a bad James Bond. All of the actors have been top notch in their own way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Brosnan was a great Bond plagued by poor films. GoldenEye is a triumph, but the rest fall flat. Sightly off the current topic but I have to share this: Simon Le Bon speaks the truth about Sam Smith's song. "It's... Not my favorite. I prefer ours." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they can have a nice transition between actors without losing fans and money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 If this ends up being true, he would have to be insane to turn it down. 150 million has GOT to be the biggest salary an actor has ever been paid for a single film in history, right?

Well 2 films, but I'm still fairly certain that $75 million per a single film is the most ever, without including contracts that allow for a % of the profits. Even then I have a feeling it's very close, if not the most. Also holy fuck, please dear God let that be enough to lure him back! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read a different article but the same rumor, but it said one film. Just now, DieselDaisy said: If he doesn't want to do it, he doesn't want to do it. He's also said he would do Bond again for a nice, fat paycheck. So if this happens...everybody wins I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I want Craig to continue for another film or so as much as anyone but I just find it a bit disdainful chucking wads of cash at him to coax him back into something he does not want to do.

James Bond Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 Forbes recently named The Rock as the current highest paid actor. Surely taking this offer would put Daniel in that spot by default? Jesus Christ, that's a lot of fucking money. Do it Daniel! Connery would be shitting himself right now. First they give Craig a co-producer credit on SPECTRE and next he'll get even more to be lured back than Connery did for Diamonds. I now believe even more - Craig will be back. Sorry Hiddleswift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Seriously. I don't see any scenario short of something tragic where we don't get another Craig film, given this is a legit report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful what you wish for. I thought Connery was pretty good in that. It was the other aspects of the film that was bad. The unimaginative setting for starters. Vegas is not really an exotic setting, I guess it would be for people living in the U.K, but I've always found it to be tacky. Charles Gray was a silly Blofeld, the henchman were rediculous. A lot of fans didn't like Jill St. John but she did a good job playing a loud mouth American, someone who just didn't fit with Bond's character. Plus she looked hot no matter what wig she wore. The things the film had going for them was Connery and the hilarious lines. "I didn't even know there was a pool there!" gets me every time. "Hi! I'm Plenty!" "But of course you are!" also cracks me up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyman Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 (edited) Diamonds are Forever was the Moore movie that Moore never made. Too much weird campy humor and a poor story/villain. If Lazenby didn't become a proto-hippie we might be talking about Diamonds are Forever as the best Bond movie, assuming they continued the storyline from OHMSS and Lazenby improved his craft. That's a perfect "what if" scenario in the Bond world PS - DC doesn't seem like the type to phone it in for a paycheck. Either he'll accept it and give it his all or he'll decline.

James Bond Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 @Crazyman is right - I just don't see Craig being the type to phone in any performance. He's very dedicated to his acting regardless of the overall film. I think what gives this weight aside from the legitimate sources picking up the story is that Craig hasn't said anything at all. In other words, he hasn't permanently closed the door. That leads me to believe that they're still trying their best to reach an agreement. Even Brosnan dropped more cryptic hints in 2003 and 2004 despite being enthusiastic about returning. An inside source on the CommanderBond forums said that script work is definitely underway and dropped some strong hints that Purvis and Wade are handling it. So we've got Craig rumours and Purvis and Wade working on a script. Now - the articles all state that the offer is coming from Sony. Who are Sony to make an offer unless they are the distributor/financer? I think we indirectly have confirmation that EON/MGM have renewed their distribution deal with Sony/Columbia. Things for Bond 25 suddenly look up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Now they can draft in Swift to pen the theme song about a lost love - The Man Who Would Be Bond. The theme ties perfectly with Madeline Swann getting annihilated by bullets in the first ten minutes of film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
