The James Bond Thread: RIP Robbie Coltrane


James Bond

Recommended Posts

Best thing about YOLT is the theme song.

Also fuck MGM? (I was absent when this started but just want to fit in.)

Fuck MGM because they're doing everything in their power to push Bond off their old every other year schedule, and seemingly into an every 4 years schedule.

Fuck MGM up the ass with a chocolate enema.

Meh, 3 years if better than 4

Still, fuck MGM though.

Agreed. I suppose I can live with the decision. Having Mendes back will make the extra year tolerable. Not the worst gap in the history of the series.

Still, you think they could have told us sooner. It's about time. Pricks. Fuck MGM!

I love this thread being on front page.

So, iirc Devil May Care was a book written by an Author using the official Bond Licence... If that is correct, what more do we know about the film, is it a good base for a storyline?

No. I rather if they just write their own screenplays.

As would I. None of the continuation novels have been particularly earth shattering so it's just as good they keep pursuing original ideas. There were rumors before Skyfall that the producers were considering doing the Jeffrey Deaver novel Carte Blanche but Barbara debunked that almost right away.

Before I left for Europe I did another Bondathon with a friend who'd never watched them all in order. He had many of the same comments we all did after we did our respective Bondathons - Brosnan could've ( should've) been a much better bond than he was allowed to be, Goldeneye is a hell of a film though horribly dated (He'd never watched any Brosnan film twice even!), Dalton kicks ass, Moore is painful to watch, and Skyfall just barely tops Casino Royale for best flick. Something he agreed on with me but you guys don't - what's so special about TSWLM? I just think its SO boring.

I'm going Casino Royale in any contest between the two.

As am I. But they're both amazing films.

About TSWLM - I think I may have overrated it as well. Granted, I was hammered when I tried watching it (at like 3 in the morning), but I found the first half somewhat boring.

Maybe I should try watching it somewhat sober before I re-rate it :lol:

The score in Goldeneye is horrible looking back at it and the quality of the film seems pretty low quality, looking back the film kind of seems cheap and that the studio were not 100% sold on it.

Oh, absolutely. When we rematched it a few weeks ago, it was on his 65" Smart TV. Looked fucking dreadful, one of the worst of the Bond 50 set. Still a great flick though, definitely in my top 10.

Holy shit I had to work to find this thread, can't believe it hasn't been used since July. :lol:

Talk about hitting the jackpot in "Storage Wars" ... this story absolutely blows my mind.

During a blind auction a couple won the contents of an abandoned storage locker in Long Island, NY with just a $100 bid.

Guess what they found inside?

Guess how much they sold it for?

$920,000
