They've copied the Bourne by kwisatzhaderach	Jun 30th, 2008 04:38:27 AM
Ultimatum shot where Bourne jumps through the window and the camera follows hims, only this time it's Bond on a bike jumping onto a boat. Lame.
Bourne..sorry I mean Bond is back!! by LockesLOSTkidney	Jun 30th, 2008 04:39:09 AM
Sweet!
Copying Bourne... by Finding Forrestal	Jun 30th, 2008 04:40:03 AM
...is EXACTLY what the Bond franchise needs to do. This looks very promising.
Forrestal... by TheRealMoriarty	Jun 30th, 2008 04:40:12 AM
... well, it's for the game, but considering Aykroyd and Ramis co-wrote it, and everyone including Murray is back with new material, it's as close as we're getting to a sequel.
Forrestal by kwisatzhaderach	Jun 30th, 2008 04:40:40 AM
No, they should be doing something original.
Oh, yeah... by Finding Forrestal	Jun 30th, 2008 04:41:27 AM
...I forgot about that. It's about time we had a sweet Ghostbusters video game.
Relevant again! by FILMFUNK	Jun 30th, 2008 04:43:48 AM
Bond was bloody boring with Brosnan now it's Blumin Brilliant with... Craig Does look very Bourne but in a positive non Shaky way. All the Daniel haters have swallowed their tongues.
Bourne? by BuckNasty1138	Jun 30th, 2008 04:44:40 AM
Oh you mean that franchise that wanted to be James Bond.....gotcha!
Kwisatzhaderach... by Finding Forrestal	Jun 30th, 2008 04:44:54 AM
We're talking about Bond here. Originality doesn't factor into the equation.
Yeah jagga by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	Jun 30th, 2008 04:48:43 AM
It is looking a bit Brosnan bond there, and I've never once managed to stay awake through any of those films for some reason. They're just too over the top and superheroish. Laser guarded vaults and the shit, that crap just bores the shit out of me. I like Bourne though, and I liked Casino Royale a lot. Here's hoping it's still 24esque and all.
That looks awesome by MrGaunt	Jun 30th, 2008 04:50:31 AM

Casino Royale was boring and flawed...hopefully this will be better...Until then I can only hope for Bourne 4.
Looks good by executiverocker	Jun 30th, 2008 04:54:37 AM
Very much casino royale 2
Looks pretty good by photoboy	Jun 30th, 2008 04:55:34 AM
I hope it's not too over the top with stupid CGI enhanced stunts, as this looks like it might be sneaking towards that again. And it's a bit annoying to see Bond is back out on his own defying M's orders again so soon after DaD did it.
Shweet by Zappary	Jun 30th, 2008 04:55:58 AM
Yeah, it's a bit Bourne, but that looked pretty interesting.
looks cool by The InSneider	Jun 30th, 2008 04:58:57 AM
and the daniel craig bond would own jason bourne! can't wait to see mathieu amalric in action. and olga looks pretty hot too.

it looks promising but still have reservations by zapano	Jun 30th, 2008 05:11:18 AM
the closer they keep it the classic sixties feel, the better. they should focus on character and tension and not just roll out action scene after action scene.
Originality is overrated... by Finding Forrestal	Jun 30th, 2008 05:14:39 AM
All I'm looking for is a tough and charismatic Bond, visceral (and believable) action sequences, and a plot that stays within the conventions of the franchise without becoming self-referential. A simple revenge plot will do just nicely, with Bond working his way up the chain of command of some SPECTRE-like organization. A few cold-blooded executions would be nice. Keep the women gorgeous, the locations exotic, and try to subvert our expectations every once and awhile (e.g. "Shaken or stirred?" "Does it look like I care?"). Seriously, we're not reinventing the wheel here. Keep it simple.
Wait...what? Ghostbusters returning? by Bass Ackwards	Jun 30th, 2008 05:17:17 AM
Wheres that news, I missed a headline somewhere.
Forrestal by MrGaunt	Jun 30th, 2008 05:18:07 AM
Doesn't that line you have quoted count as being self-referential?
"Borrowed From JACKASS"? by TheRealMoriarty	Jun 30th, 2008 05:19:12 AM
You mean the scene that is taken directly from the original Ian Fleming novel written in the fucking '50s? That one? Pretty sure they didn't borrow that from an MTV show that's not even ten years old.
Looks the same as Casino Royale. Which is bad. by NoDiggity	Jun 30th, 2008 05:19:14 AM
Why is it that the moment a character on screen shows up, all cold-eyed, with the killer-stare, the fanboys line up to call it the best thing ever? Yes, I see, Bond is cold-eyed, and he has the killer-stare. You don't wanna mess with Bond because he is BAD ASS. Yeah, we get it. He's even more BAD ASS than he was in Casino Royale, because now he's pissed because he lost his One True Love or some pathetic cliche excuse to be all Cold Eyed and BAD ASS. And it looks like Bond is going rogue for two movies in a row? Great. Will M forgive him at the end just because he flirts with her a little? This is the kind of action hero I root for the bad guys to take down with extreme prejudice. Bond has always had a tinge of right wing, extra-legal nastiness to him, and this seems to be the most right-wing and nasty of the Bonds we have seen so far. Yahoo! Let's worship Thuggish Assassins in Suits! It's just one sign of the end of Democracy as we know it.

I had a bit of a Bond threesome by tomdolan04	Jun 30th, 2008 05:21:33 AM
the other night. Dr No is still a classic, Goldeneye has a firm place in my heart (it's fun and epic nights on the N64 game make it more memorable) but jesus christ Die Another Day - fecking terrible. Remember it wasn't great in the cinema but time hasn't been kind one bit. If this were any other franchise that movie would have killed it deader the dead
Looks the same as Casino Royale.....which is GREAT by Da B-Meister	Jun 30th, 2008 05:23:03 AM
Casino Royale had its share of slower moments here and there, but it was still a phenomenal Bond flick and Craig is superb in the role of the famous super-spy.
Die Another Day .... Awful. by NoDiggity	Jun 30th, 2008 05:24:44 AM
I mean, I can see a return to "serioiusness" being welcomed by the fans of the franchise, but man, did they have to suck all the sense of fun out of the series in the name of seriousness?
MrGaunt... by Finding Forrestal	Jun 30th, 2008 05:27:16 AM
I'm okay with them referencing the conventions of the franchise. Saying "Bond... James Bond," drinking a vodka martini, the Q scene, the obligatory dressing-down from M, etc. I was referring to instances like in DIE ANOTHER DAY where they referenced the previous films in highly specific ways.
Excellent. by Executor	Jun 30th, 2008 05:28:37 AM

Seriounes... by Bass Ackwards	Jun 30th, 2008 05:29:46 AM
I actually remember a Craig interview where he said the jokes were being upped for this flick. Not sure if that's good or bad news. I'm looking forward to it just to see what the director of Finding Neverland is bringing to the Bond table.

Yeehaah! Looks like TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION!!! by Motoko Kusanagi	Jun 30th, 2008 05:33:30 AM
James muthafuckin' Bond is back to pwn those shaky cam movies commonly referred to as the Bourne trilogy. Fuck those. Casino Royale was great fun and had some great dialogues (train!). This one looks promising as well.
Casino Royale by kungfuhustler84	Jun 30th, 2008 05:34:34 AM
a great example of how to revamp a classic character by keeping the old parts that work and immortalized the story, while making little changes to adapt to a new audience. And I don't much think they are bringing back too much of the last one. This looks a lot different to me, which is great. Although another parkour scene would be the cat's pajamas.
I'm a big Bond fan... by The Grug	Jun 30th, 2008 05:34:41 AM
and Casino Royale was far-and-away my favourite of the series, this looks like "Casino Royale 2" and that's fine by me - looking forward to this one!

I've just watched that like ten times in a row. by Shermdawg	Jun 30th, 2008 05:37:29 AM
The behind the vehicle shots with the bike and car chase is insane! It's like straight out of a videogame......kinda like that fps shot from Royale. Awesome, awesome, stuff. And to think some of us, including me, were once crapping on Craig and rebooting the series. Boy were we fucking wrong. Nov.7 can't come soon enough. I can't remember the last time I was this excited about a film. I miss the feeling.
The main criticism seems to be that Eon by emeraldboy	Jun 30th, 2008 05:38:18 AM
are rushing this film into theatres. They seem to be in a hurry for some reason. There is a lot of controversy attached to this one.
A Live Action Venture Brothers movie by kungfuhustler84	Jun 30th, 2008 05:39:34 AM
with all the hilarious comedy, paired with some Bond style action from Brock, would be incredible. Seeing Bond kick ass like that just made me think of the possibilities of a live action Brock Samson. Can someone agree with me? Anyone? That's cool. It's not even six in the morning yet. I can wait.

I understand the liking for Craig's Bond. by NoDiggity	Jun 30th, 2008 05:46:38 AM
I do. I really do. It's a variation of the Connery Bond, where you identify with a character who seems to have no fear. It's liberating to vicariously participate in being Fearless. But there's something about this Bond that bothers me, and it's the fact that the element of being SCARY (Feared) is way up there, and I'm more afraid of Craig's Bond than of the villains.
This year's Quantum of Fucking Solace! by Motoko Kusanagi	Jun 30th, 2008 05:53:20 AM
Isn't it?
Hmm, the Bond torturing scene was pretty scary, imho. by Motoko Kusanagi	Jun 30th, 2008 05:54:58 AM
Seriously. Can't think of any ALIAS episode that had a more terrifying torture scene.
Apart from Goldeneye by zapano	Jun 30th, 2008 05:55:33 AM
Brosnan films were woeful. Still think bringing in big name directors would be a great idea. Directors like Scorsese, Spielberg and Tarantino have all expressed at one point or another a desire to direct a Bond fim. They tried it with Mission Impossible but then went for directors who would say yes to tom cruise all too easily.
I hope this will be rated R. Or NC-17. by Motoko Kusanagi	Jun 30th, 2008 05:58:32 AM
And please: never, NEVER let Quentin fuckhead Tarantino direct a James Bond movie. N-E-V-E-R!
slick by Mr_X	Jun 30th, 2008 06:00:08 AM
i loved the reboot, nothing was going to change my love of this franchise, it's pretty much bulletproof. I loved the Bronson era, I'm loving the Craig era. it's exactly the breath of fresh air the franchise needed. this movie looks great. roll on novemeber!
Your Voice of Reason by Alex Childress	Jun 30th, 2008 06:01:52 AM
1) The Bond movies re-vamp and re-invent themselves to fit the style of the times, and Craig has said that the film will have a bit more humor than the last one; 2) You're going to get the brainless action and cool shots instead of the character development in the trailer cause that's what trailer's do. If they showed 1 1/2 minutes of Bond talking, they would sell fewer tickets. 3) In my humble opinion, there's nothing scarier than having my nuts beaten mercilessly by a 5lb. knotted rope. Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks and all, but that would make me talk. And that's the highlight of the new Bond films - no more super death lasers and shark pits. Sometimes action/adventure is as simple as a man who really wants to hurt you.
NoDiggity by JimBobCooter	Jun 30th, 2008 06:02:23 AM
I agree! Casino Royale was really great. But the villain was WEAK! I know he was accurate to the book and supposed to be second tier to the intrigue... but I want to see someone who truly outflanks Bond. Not necessarily over-the-top Goldfinger megalomanic yet... but definitely someone where you worry Bond won't succeed in his mission, let alone be hurt.
Aside from the nut-beating... by JimBobCooter	Jun 30th, 2008 06:04:25 AM

Fuck yes... best movie of Winter by Judge Briggs	Jun 30th, 2008 06:07:09 AM

After the Indy 4 letdown or craptastic borefests like Crap Racer, The Happening, Jumper and 10,000 B.C.
Utterly not excited about this by henrydalton	Jun 30th, 2008 06:17:44 AM
But then, Casino Royale bored me to tears with its never-ending third act, so I've got no investment in the franchise storyline anymore.
too bad my fucking sound don't work... by just pillow talk	Jun 30th, 2008 06:22:57 AM
That being said, er, looks good to me. And that torture scene in Casino Royale...I can think of NOTHING more brutal than having my boys knocked around like that. shudder
looks GREAT!! and very... not Bond... by Maniaq	Jun 30th, 2008 06:28:35 AM
at least pre-Casino Royale - which is the point, of course...
LangeHaarige, by raw_bean	Jun 30th, 2008 06:39:09 AM
you complain about unrealistic action-hero stuff like fighting with a nail in your shoulder, but seem to be in favour of some elaborate and ridiculous moustache-twirling-villain torture when the film was trying to make the specific point that such things are silly when it's 'the simplest thing in the world to cause a man more pain than you can imagine'. If you think that was such a non-terrifying thing, let's see you volunteer to have your balls whipped with a three kilogram lump of very solid hemp.
Daniel Craig............ by ChiefRoberts	Jun 30th, 2008 06:40:56 AM
........IS James Bond! The guy radiates badass! Casino Royale was the best Bond film for years and brought it back to it's raw, edgy roots. QOS looks to be even better.
HOT BUTTERED YAMS!!! by toxicbuddha	Jun 30th, 2008 06:42:47 AM
I am with you on this one Mori. Craig owns in the role and a venerable franchise returns to glory. I loved Casino Royale and it looks like I am gonna have a major crush on Solace as well.
Sheesh by HornOrSilk	Jun 30th, 2008 06:43:50 AM
I liked Casino Royale. Unless the whole "catch Bond" think is a scam to get the bad guys think they can convert him, I'm sorry to say, it's been done before. Now is not the time to redo LtK.
DerLanghaarige.... you dont get it... by Uridium	Jun 30th, 2008 06:44:33 AM
Ok, so you seem to want more scary ball torture (I'm not judging you, but you may want to talk to a professional about this), but you fail to grasp that this scene is taken from the book 'Casino Royale'. Who cares if you see more things on Alias.... When converting a book to a film its usually considered correct to transfer the key scenes as they were in the book.

What a whiny, "superior" being you are. You hated Casino Royale, did you? And 300? Good for you. Trouble is, the public have spoken. Now, I know "no one liked the Sound of Music except the public", but this kind of Bond is here to stay, and I'm glad. What a depressing, disappointing world you must live in...
Really using that title, huh? by Drath	Jun 30th, 2008 07:01:12 AM
It sounds like a character from Star Trek. I'm surprised it has not been changed. It's not as bad as Beyond the Ice, but it's still not a Bond title, and some things about the formula you do not fuck with.

LangeHaarige is a dumb poster for dumb people by The Octagoner	Jun 30th, 2008 07:14:04 AM
The torture scenes in Alias were more effective than Casino Royale's? Did you see some unaired episode of Alias the rest of us missed, because that show had the lamest, most ineffectual 'tortures' ever. A box of needles? Ooooh. Casino Royale was smart, visceral, and revived a franchise that by all rights should have turned into a relic some time in the mid-eighties. And for the few on here complaining about Bond's characterization: Fleming's Bond was always a thug in a suit, a misogynistic assassin. He was practically a rapist for fuck's sake. Hate it or like it, don't complain that this isn't Bond. Go drink a big glass of ball sweat to fortify your faggotry, and stick to watching the movies where Roger Moore minces about with his double chin flapping in the breeze.
Well IF there's another Bourne, by I Dunno	Jun 30th, 2008 07:17:23 AM
at least they'll be forced to come up with a new plot. I've seen all three a couple times and can't tell any of them apart. "Who am I?" "Find Bourne!" "I'm right behind you!" Let Michael J Fox hold the camera. Rinse, repeat.
Forster's cinematographer... by DC Films	Jun 30th, 2008 07:25:39 AM
...May end up being the star here. The burnt out stuff looks fantastic: back to the 60's Bond, but with Craig giving a gritty edge - somewhat like a 60's/70's French gangster pick - or just a little like the French Connection. It's fair enough that a teaser focuses on the action, but there's promise of darker character exploration too. I certainly hope so.
Yes! by BackStJoe	Jun 30th, 2008 07:29:03 AM
Thankfully, it looks like they are keeping the serious tone of Casino Royale. Sadly, they went with a title that no one will understand.
Rad. by Zarles	Jun 30th, 2008 07:31:37 AM
Those of you bitching about this trailer need to go back to mashing buttons on your XBox until Mommy calls you to dinner. 'Borrowed from Jackass'. For fuck's sake. I seriously hope I get to meet one of those people who were bitching about Daniel Craig being Bond someday just so I can laugh in their fucking face. Tee-motherfuckin'-hee.
re NoDiggity by DocPazuzu	Jun 30th, 2008 07:31:48 AM
In case anyone considers taking anything she says about Bond seriously, just remember that she's the one who called Gremlins "cultural sabotage". I shit you not. Also, it would be interesting to hear how she divines from this trailer that Quantum of Solace is "more right wing" than other Bond movies.

Bond on the Rampage? Count me in! by max314	Jun 30th, 2008 07:41:05 AM
It's difficult to find new and compelling storylines for every new Bond film. That said, this looks like it's doing a pretty good job. The idea of Bond going solo on a revenge mission with his own orgainsation trying to thwart his efforts contains obvious echoes of the BOURNE series. But I'm more than interested to see how this all works within the context of the Bond franchise. While CASINO ROYALE was a very good Bond film, it did suffer from certain flaws, particularly during the first half of the second act. My hope is that QUANTUM OF SOLACE will be able to rectify those wrongs to produce a top notch Bond.
Zarles by just pillow talk	Jun 30th, 2008 07:43:55 AM
"Tee-motherfuckin'-hee." I'm going to use that when one of my 'esteemed' co-workers tries to crack a joke and utterly fails. And yes, this film looks damn fine, even without no muthafucking sound!
Are they bringing back SPECTRE?! by Royston Lodge	Jun 30th, 2008 07:48:46 AM
From that interrogation scene it looks like they're bringing back SPECTRE. If they can make SPECTRE nice and sinister again, a la OHMSS (my personal favourite Bond film), it would be quite an achievement since other Bond films made SPECTRE so cartoony. Will we see a reimagining of Ernst Stavros Blofeld? Will they continue with continuity eventually have remake OHMSS with Bond getting married? Will Blofeld have his white kitty cat? Will it lose all its hair and be named Mr. Bigglesworth? I'm trés excited about the prospects...
Old Bond flicks versus New.... by pdennett316	Jun 30th, 2008 07:51:28 AM
I loved Casino Royale, thoroughly entertaining, great action and Craig was excellent. I HATE all the old Bond movies, they just never interested me and were camp and annoying beyond belief. The conventions that fans love, I loathe. The Bourne movies are the best thing to happen to the Bond franchise in a long time, forced them to re-evaluate their stale old quirks. CR was action packed and fun without being too much of a lift of Bourne. This one has shots blatently ripped from the 3rd Bourne flick, so at least they're acknowledging their influences. Oh, and Bourne would easily dispatch Bond, even in CR Bond was lost without his OTT gadgets such as the portable defrib. and Poison kit in his car. Bond is a pussy compared to Bourne, you'd find Bond afterwards with a broken neck and a rolled up magazine jammed up his pooper. FACT!

Won't be sucked in like last time by Emixxary	Jun 30th, 2008 08:07:38 AM
I remember being psyched with the trailer for Casino Royale... Seemed very gritty, raw.. HE dirves around the corner, there is a girl in the road, he swerves, barely misses her, and then a spectacular crash! ....of course when I saw the movie, I saw this device created a giant plot hole. OK his girl is grabbed when she leaves the empty restaurant (they could of just brabbed him too), Craig gives chase, and in the car chase, the girl is suddenly in the middle of the road. Is it so they could lose him? nope, they were needing to capture him to torture him for info. Well atleast the girl was expendable right? nope, they needed to torture her for info as well. So as they need both of them alive, one is placed in the middle of a road, hopefully to cause a wreck, and the other ifs forced into a spectacular wreck.. yep that makes sense. sorry to go off there, but I hear such praise for Casino Royalle, and I thought it was fun, but had such plot holes in it that it really ruined it for me.

Great teaser!! by Utamoh	Jun 30th, 2008 08:15:37 AM
Key word being "teaser." The film doesn't open till November folks, which means there's still a lot of work left to finish it. Despite that, this looks AMAZING! Daniel Craig is the first Bond that looks tough since Sean Connery.

Bourne vs Bond by toadkillerdog	Jun 30th, 2008 08:33:33 AM
Damon really grew up in the role. The last movie being the most believable - because of the age of the character and the obvious weathering Damon/Bourne underwent. But Bond is not Bourne or vice versa. Bourne has almost no personality. He is simply a rogue robot who wants to be left alone. Bond, is almost a sociopath, almost but not quite. But he will sacrifrice anyone to obtain his goals, whether they be Queen and country or his own. As for who would win a physical battle, since a tie is out, I give it to Bond. Bourne has greater fighting skills than Bond, but Bond is more ruthless, and resourceful, and ultimately, he will find a way to win. He always does. Craig is fantastic as Bond, the second best all-time to Connery. The early Connery Bond's had the menace and the charm, and not many gadgets, if any at all. The more popular the movies became, the more gadgets were involved, and the less menacing Bond became. Craig has restored the menace - he still needs to work on the charm though.

Looks Fan-F***ingtastic!!!! by Seth_Brundle	Jun 30th, 2008 08:46:26 AM
I was with EON on their decision to cast Daniel Craig, I was with them when they decided to re-vamp the series, changing the global scenario from Communism to Terrorism. I was impressed and delighted with Martin Campbell's direction of "Casino Royale," and was waiting to see how the next film would play out. The rumors started pouring in, this one picks up 30 minutes after CR left off, more action, great villain. I thought it was too good to be true, but the trailer succeeded in confirming I will be there front and center on Nov. 7th and will be prepared to be blown away!!!!!!
You know what would be bad ass if done right by Series7	Jun 30th, 2008 08:47:43 AM
Sean Connery as a bad guy in bond? Seeing that Sir Tim Dulton is already doing bad guys 24/7 now, something tells me Sean wouldn't do it. This itch in the back of my brain keeps bothering me every time I think of Sean Connery playing the bad guys, its name is Avengers.
Bond and Batman by BigFatBaby	Jun 30th, 2008 08:59:32 AM
The Bond franchise seems to be patterning itself after onscreen Batmans over the years. We had our farcical 1970's Bonds who escaped from some absurdly characterized criminal mastermind and then we had our over the top action Bonds and now we're going back to the dark, gritty, emo Bond.

I'll wait for November before totally blowing my wad, but looks like my reservations about Marc "Neverland" Forster have been at least partially alleviated. Because this teaser looks, sounds and smells fucking neat. Let's just hope the script doesn't blow, and that the 2nd unit work (which looks fantastic) blends perfectly with the character moments. That was the main downside of the recent Bond movies (except those directed by Campbell) and I hope they fixed that. Oh, and no excessive, gimmicky, non-visceral shaky-cam which is a big plus in my book.
New Bond rules by RogueWarrior65	Jun 30th, 2008 09:09:48 AM
It's simple. Roger Moore was wishy-washy. Pierce Brosnan's version what too goofy, over-the-top, phony complete with cartoon physics. This Bond is bringing tough-guy to the franchise. I don't care if they compare it to Bourne. In fact, that totally works for me especially since it's Bourne minus the wishy-washy poo-pooing the government angle. Hollywood seriously lacks tough-guy characters/actors these days. I say, bring 'em on!

re: SPECTRE returning by Cedar_Room	Jun 30th, 2008 09:23:43 AM
this may count as potential SPOILER so beware - but I read that the organisation the guy works for, who have "people everywhere" is SPECTRE-like, but actually called QUANTUM. Daniel Craig said: "QUANTUM is also the name of the organization in the film; a kind of new-age SMERSH". So whilst I would have loved to see an all new badass SPECTRE, with the possibility of a return for Blofeld - I think this idea is really nice and also helps explain the title a bit better. Furthermore, doesn't mean we can't still have a recurring bad guy in the shape of the head of QUANTUM to rival Blofeld for the new reboot(or even cheekily BE Blofeld). Also, for what its worth, I thought this trailer was fantastic and I can't wait for the new film. Casinon Royale was brilliant, I revisited it recently on DVD and I was reminded just how polished that film was - I wasn't even as bothered by that awful theme tune. It is a great Bond film (not to say a great film full stop) and this one is looking just as good.
first time ever a Bond girl gets mentioned in a sequel? by zooch	Jun 30th, 2008 09:27:25 AM

zooch by Cedar_Room	Jun 30th, 2008 09:35:08 AM
Think Roger Moore's Bond goes to his wife's grave at the start of For Your Eyes Only, a reference back to On Her Majesty's Secret Service - but yeah other than that they never get mentioned. But this is the first direct sequel to a Bond film, as all the others have just been "the next chapter" in Bond's adventures.
DerLanghaarige by toadkillerdog	Jun 30th, 2008 09:36:25 AM
The next scene was weeks if not months later. The rope, was heavy and knotted , which was the equivalent of getting hit with a swinging hammer. The Die another Day torture was a sustained torture, that had nothing of the brutality of CR.

New Bond Is Cool, But Bourne Makes Him Almost Irrelevant by LaserPants	Jun 30th, 2008 10:10:49 AM
Seriously, as cool as Casino Royale is, each movie in the Bourne series was infinitely better. The story, action, the fights, more or less everything in Bourne is better than Bond. Bond is cool, but Bourne is much cooler.

Bourne is a different kind of film, we'll never see a Bond film that's exactly like Bourne, but that doesn't mean Bond films can't learn from what the Bourne films have achieved. It looks like they have.
Bourne vs Bond by estacado1	Jun 30th, 2008 10:38:52 AM
Bourne tries too hard to be cool. He's like "Oooh... I'm emotionally scarred... therefore I'm cool, and I can kill a person using a toothpick". Bond doesn't need to try, he just is cool. He is like "I don't give sh** what people think of me, I just want to get my guy and be done with it."

go over to the IMDB page on Quantum of Solace and it gives you some explanation for it. POTENTIAL SPOILER: QUANTUM is the name of the organisation that was behind the events in Casino Royale - as Daniel Craig puts it, they are like a new age SMERSH. As far as I'm concerned, this is very cool.

Focus on the movie folks, not the title, who the hell cares. This movie is going to kick some major ass. It seems once a James Bond movies goes with a more thought provoking title, everyone gets their panties in a twist. The title makes complete sense, as well, they are taking the title from one of Fleming's short stories. At the end of Casino, Bond is heartbroken over the loss of Vesper. Quantum is all about revenge and then some. Hence the title, Quantum of Solace, Bond is looking for some bit of resolve to his broken heart, looking for answers. Dig people, dig!

I would love to see how calm and un-nerving you would be if you were stripped naked in a chair with a guy swinging a rope ball towards your berry patch. To say you hate 300 is to say that all Frank Miller graphic novels are shit. Alias was a pussy show compared to Casino Royale... i started to hate and did hate Alias by the 3rd season, cause it never went anywhere and nothing exciting happened. Its typical JJ Abrams though... first 2 seasons good, then the rest turns into this giant ball of beetle dung... rolling downhill collecting more and more until its finally cancelled just to save face. Im sorry, but i cringe everytime i see someone get smacked or whacked in the nut sack, no matter what show it is... i like my balls and i dont like them even grazed in the wrong way... maybe your lack of balls makes it a non sensitive area for you.
Count me in by Screwbini	Jun 30th, 2008 11:28:58 AM
Casino was a terrific reboot of the Bond franchise, and Craig makes a great Bond (although I'll admit that I has reservations about him when he was originally named as Brosnan's replacement). I enjoyed Brosnan's Bond, but the stories were mostly lame. Also, although Brosnan had a few moments of toughness, I agree that Craig is the only Bond who actually seems dangerous since Sean Connery (still my favorite). I hated Roger Moore's foppish take on Bond, and Timothy Dalton seemed utterly humorless (although admittedly potentially dangerous as well). George Lazenby had potential, but he never got another chance to develop that potential. So for now, Craig IS Bond!!!! And I'm looking forward to November 7.

"Bring back the real Bond?" Are you kidding? by rogueleader66	Jun 30th, 2008 11:42:32 AM
The Bond in Casino Royale IS the real Bond, it was the exact interpretation of the character that Ian Fleming wrote about in all his books. Hollywood changed him for the sake of the movies, and while I liked almost every Bond film, this "new" Bond is just how the character was intended to be, and it is refreshing to see a true take on the character.

Screwbini by toadkillerdog	Jun 30th, 2008 12:00:39 PM
Those are my thoughts exactly on the Bond's. It was a shame Lazenby was not given a chance, he would have grown into the role. Dalton had much menace, zero charm. Brosnan, had his finest moment in ois last film. He never really embodied the full menac that Connery possesed, the kind that could kiss a woman, and kill her in the next breath, but he had his moments. Craig, has that Connery menace. And I like how they are going into a sequel -that really gives Craig a chance to leave his mark on Bond like none since Connery.

that Casino Royale is good as a Bond film but not as a film itself is very wrong. I have spent my entire life with a deep dislike for the Bond series. Incredibly sexist, dumb, and the action just never caught me. But I decided to give CR a chance because I loved Craig in Layer Cake. Now CR is easily in my top 5 fave movies of all time. It is simply amazing. And i know a few people who also arent Bond fans who dug it as well. The fact that this looks like more of the same has me very excited.

RIP James Bond by peter skellen	Jun 30th, 2008 01:07:20 PM
If you love pretentious Jason Bourne clones and are fifteen years old I'm sure you'll think this is BADASS!!! or whatever the kids say. I'm still wondering if anyone ever plans to bring back the James Bond character. You know, handsome, refined, witty, inventive. A counterpoint to generic action meatheads like er, Daniel Craig's 'Bond'. Now we have some pug-faced muppet 007 running through walls and gurning. Don't even get me started on the idea that Craig resembles the incredibly suave, witty, pretty boy Bond played by Sean Connery in the sixties. Connery didn't take the role especially seriously so why he is compared to DC who plays every character as a homeless tramp who has just been injected with rabies or something is beyond me. In fact seeing as Connery was handsome and played the role in a somewhat jokey manner I'm amazed that all these new Bond experts haven't trashed him yet. And as for Ian Fleming. I honestly don't think that as he reached for his third drink of the morning at his West Indian retreat, adjusted his neckscarf and waved to Noel Coward that he suddenly had an idea about a musclebound, everyman, diminutive spy character who could be played by a man who looks like he has a brillo pad on his head.

Cartoon B.S. - lololol - nope. by INDIETHIS	Jun 30th, 2008 01:24:47 PM
Cartoon B.S. lolol... ummm no - Cartoon B.S. was Grace Jones and A View to A Kill - and I loved Roger Moore - but View was about as Cartoon-like as it gets - Point is - Bond - as a franchise had run it's course... Craig/Casino took it back to the grit of Connery - and thank god they did - it was time for a change - and the change has been good - attendance/money rule what allows a franchise to move forward - in Hollywood anyway - and Craig/writers/Director have given the Bond films a new life. End of that story. Star Trek has felt the same pain... it ran it's course - numbers down - and hopefully the new Star Trek will bring it back - like Casino did with Bond.

To all the Motarded Muthafucks that dont't like Connery or Crai by toadkillerdog	Jun 30th, 2008 01:47:59 PM
Eat a limp, diseased, dribbling platypus dick! Craig fukken destroyed in CR. And for thise who say he was not suave, he was fukken LEARNING! He was a new 007. Not ready made out of the kukken test tube. You have to acquire the skills to be skilled! And the greatest, grittiest Connery was the first three. Dr. No. From Russia with Love. Goldfinger.
Yeah - grit - as in Tone by INDIETHIS	Jun 30th, 2008 02:00:46 PM
Yeah - Connery - grit - like he actually KIlled people - smoked - drank... I'm also talking tone... Roger - didn't really kill much - lots of knocking people out - and moreso - the tone became more campy - which was fine for a time - it was a change - a tonal cahnge - the last few Roger films then went a little camp far I think - ran it's course... BUt yeah - Connery was grit - he was mean - and he'd kill ya in a second - Pierce - Pierce played Bond between Roger and Connery - but I never feared Pierce's Bond... now Connery - screw with his Bond - and you'd be tossed out that train window with a bullet in your mouth. Craig - Craigs Bond is the same - major shift - tone and all - from Roger/Pierce... they tried this shift before - with Dalton - Dalton didn't crack jokes and all - he just didn't stick - I think the stories...
Agent Johnson by toadkillerdog	Jun 30th, 2008 02:01:23 PM
I was trying to imitate the Liberalwarrrior, but my point was that Connery was the quintesential Bond, in that he combined the qualities of suavity, menace and charm, into the complete package. Fleming wanted Richard Burton, who was not exactly a pretty boy to play the role. So Craig is actually far more in tune with Flemings wishes than any of the Bonds. Craig still has a ways to go to acquire the charm, and he may never rest the mantle from Connery - who could? But, he is already worthy of top two consideration.

Agreed- Good Point ToadKillerDog by INDIETHIS	Jun 30th, 2008 02:13:06 PM
Agreed ToadKiller - great point - Connery was able to combine all those characteristics in his Bond - it will interesting to see if Craig/writers/Director can pull a bit more charm/suave from him - not sure it's needed as the film did really well - but - to catch up too Connery - he would have to tackle that last bit of character trait into Bond - and still do it in a way that's new - and not just re-treaded. I'm just glad they shifted the tone of the franchise and brought it back out of the "camp" phase.
INDIETHIS by toadkillerdog	Jun 30th, 2008 02:29:11 PM
What makes Bond unique, and not just another robotic Bourne, is the fact that he posseses all of those characteristics that Connery was able to infuse. Craig is great already, and will only get better. I think by the third picture, you will see more of the polish that Bond is famous for. And that makes perfect sense, considering that the Craig Bond is still in the learning phase. It is very good to be excited about Bond again. Batman and Bond were the first two heroes that really liked as a kid - along with Lancelot Link Secret Chimp that is! I would pay big money to see Link on the big screen!

Why do I only like Craig in Bond movies though? by IAmMrMonkey!	Jun 30th, 2008 02:41:00 PM
Any other movie and I'm "Oh. It's Daniel Craig. Whoopee." Stick him in a Bond movie and I'm "Fuck yeah! Go Daniel Craig! Beat the living daylights* out of the bad guys and blow up some things as the Bond theme plays around you!" * Pun intended

octagonproplex by toadkillerdog	Jun 30th, 2008 03:11:04 PM
I liked GoldenEye, but not as much as Tomorrow Never Dies, or Dr. No. The reason being, I thought he was trying too hard in GoldenEye. Too hard to be both suave and menacing. And Brosnan, just does not have the physicality for menacing. That being said, by the time TND came around, he was far more comfortable in the role. He had mastered it. And I thought he had even overcome his slight build, to make a believable action Bond. In short, he pulled it all together in his last Bond.

Tomorrow Never Dies is brilliant. by HoboCode	Jun 30th, 2008 03:17:28 PM
Until Casino Royale with Cheese came out it was the best Bond movie ever. Goldeneye is barely watchable at this point even though it did resurrect the franchise. My Top 10 Bond films: 1. Thunderball 2. Casino Royale with Cheese 3. Tomorrow Never Dies 4. On Her Majesty's Secret Service 5. The Spy Who Loved Me 6. Dr. No 7. The Living Daylights 8. From Russia with Love 9. Live and Let Die 10. Goldfinger
Craig IS Bond!!! by performingmonkey	Jun 30th, 2008 03:21:18 PM
When I watched CR I felt for the first time the true James Bond was onscreen. I suppose he just fits a certain vision of Bond that I myself and many others share. Everyone else sees him as the cheesy Roger Moore style, OR they just want him to be a '60s character. This ISN'T the '60s but it IS Bond.
A Quantum of Whatzit? by apersonofinterest	Jun 30th, 2008 03:29:07 PM
I don't understand the name? This movie is not based on am Ian Fleming Novel as I understand it so where did they get the story and that awful name? When I saw the post on Digg, I thought it was a Discovery Channel / IMAX flick or something so I had a delayed reaction but then once I realized it was Bond...and then watched the trailer...FUCK YEAH!! Bond is back Baby!! And can everyone stop with the Bourne comparisons please?!? Bond = British Secret Agent. Bourne = American Secret Agent. COMPLETELY FUCKING DIFFERENT!! Bond = Aston Martin. Bourne = Raggedy Ass Mini Cooper. Bond = Banging Smoking Hot Bitches. Bourne = Hooks up with one kinda cute girl and then whines about losing her for the next two movies. Bourne = Shaky Cam. Bond = No Shaky Cam. Bond = Sweet Gadgets. Bourne = A Cel phone, a stick of gum and a paperclip. McGuyver Style. This new Bond would hand Jason Bourne his Ass in a fight. And there is no CGI. Didn't anyone catch the on set accidents while they were filming in Italy. I think one stuntman was killed. Stuntmen aren't killed in CGI movies.
octagonproplex by toadkillerdog	Jun 30th, 2008 03:29:23 PM
Too many damn Dies in the Titles, yes, I confused the TND with Die Another day - the one with the stupid car. But the Hot Halle! Why not Ken Watanabe? But I do not think it needs to be remade. That was Bond in his element - in the west Indies - which is another reason why the Craig Bond was great. Putting Bond in the Carribean as well as Europe. Bond always worked best in those locales. Bond in Miami was great too - even though he wound up in Kentucky!

As much as I enjoyed Casino Royale by FishEatingJoe	Jun 30th, 2008 04:57:34 PM
I think people have already started to putting it way above what it actually was. To much down time in the film for my liking, especially on repeat viewing. They front loaded it with action and it hurt the pacing. No idea what we get here. Like a lot of the action, but I question if now the pacing it going to suffer from to much action.
all of my doubts are gone by BurgerKing	Jun 30th, 2008 05:01:12 PM
this will be awesome! That's an awesome trailer, the action looks more intense than Casino yet still within the realm of realistic action unlike earlier Bonds. The fact that it is a direct sequel is outstanding. This looks like first class stuff, I'm fucking happy as hell that the studios are actually taking Bond seriously again. That franchise felt like it was driven so far into the ground there was no hope, but then comes Daniel Craig and it's all better, what a recovery! And after this so-far shitfest of a movie year (Iron Man excepted) The Dark Knight looks like the only thing to see this summer (ok I'll see Wall-E too) and the year can atleast end well with Quantum...hopefully it lives up to the trailer
"a bumbling, incompetent metrosexual' by The Octagoner	Jun 30th, 2008 05:02:22 PM
BullSHIT. If that's bumbling and incompetence, what the fuck do you call guys who CAN'T single-handedly take down a Bolivian embassy. And it's refreshing that Craig isn't some metrosexual pretty boy; he looks like a pug, like a brawler. Anybody who says he isn't Bond doesn't know Bond from a fist up their ass. You know who WASN'T Bond? Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Pierce Brosnan (not his fault). Craig's better than Connery, who, cool as he was, can't act worth shit, had a Scottish accent, and was an inhuman adolescent power fantasy; at least this Bond, like the literary Bond, is an actual man that can get hurt and come back shooting. Jeff Albertson-- maybe, just maybe, you're not much of a judge of what charisma is. If you were, you might be able to acquire some. Dicksuck.
I'm even digging the title now by The Octagoner	Jun 30th, 2008 05:05:36 PM
'Quantum of Solace.' Cool, elegiac, and it references the CHARACTER instead of a comic-book premise.

Roughly translated it means "Smallest measure of comfort" which is surely what Bond is going to get after putting bullets in the heads of all those people responsible for Vesper's death. I think it's brilliant.
For those bitching about Craig not being "suave" by krullboyisback	Jun 30th, 2008 05:17:07 PM
he is rough around the edges because this is Bond early in his career. . .he has not been a globe trotting OO for years, he just started. Like most people in these types of jobs, everyone is young dumb and full of cum starting out, but they mature as time goes on
Some of you guys simply don't know what the fuck by GQtaste	Jun 30th, 2008 05:41:26 PM
you're talking about. Craig isn't the "man of the world type yet?" I got news for you: it's a transgression. He isn't immediately that, he evolves into that guy. He begins as a blunt instrument as Judy labels him in CR. And to the people talking about Bourn and Alisas and jack bauer 24 and comparing them. Don't even post b/c it shows your ignorance. The Bond series is the longest in film history. Dating back some fifty fucking years! Where do you think they got the inspiration for 24 and Borne? Fucking Bond baby! It paved the way to all this other type of product to enjoy. And the dude that complained about the torture scene should be banned for being so retarded. Not scary enough? Please! Bond was fucking buck naked getting his genitals smashed w/ a huge fucking rope and a big lethal prong on the end of it. The villain even says that you don't need all kinds of elaborate types of torture. In the most basic of pain for men I concur w/ the dude. And everybody else seems to as well. Just having one of your testes getting brushed by your dog jumping up to play w/ you can send a guy reeling in pain. Imagine what the fucking rope must have felt like? Because I dont' want to and the was the entire point dipshit!
Looks great by strosmer	Jun 30th, 2008 05:56:44 PM
Perhaps even better than CR - more action, bigger action, just stepping it all up a notch. We'll see. Only thing I don't want is a 2 1/2 hour running time. For CR it was okay for the purpose of reintroducing the character, but they should keep it more concise from here on out. And this is not Bourne action, it is Bond action. Huge difference in my book. Bourne's edgy, but Bond's epic. Dogfight looks awesome, the rest just plain thrilling. Love the new Bond.
re: DerLanghaarige by bunksteve	Jun 30th, 2008 06:06:53 PM
Jesus Christ Monkey Balls, DerLanghaarige... What did you want? A ten minute montage of Bond limping around going, "Oww. M'testes."? The stuff in the hospital was more than sufficient to show that he had suffered. Then again... You made mention that the torture itself wasn't intense and painful. I'm guessing you've never seen, let alone touched, a heavy rope... say the kind used on boats or on construction sites? I'm lucky enough to have never been hit in the nuts by one, but I did catch one in the face and it left a giant welt and bruise on my face for like two weeks. Now imagine that on your balls. The fact that Bond didn't sing in falsetto for the rest of his life is proof that he is still a relatively invincible action star.(I just realized the entire last half of my post probably made a lot of the TB'ers in here giggle uncontrollably). Piss and moan about it all you want, DerLanghaarige. That's your right as an arrogant internet troll. Although I can't help but think the world would have been better off if you had just ended up as a blowjob. I'm just sayin...

Best Bond List by DARTHpatel	Jul 1st, 2008 12:09:24 AM
1) Casino Royale- flat out the truest to the novels, and the most bad assed bond of all. It is sad that most kids these days would rather watch brainless CGI shitfest's like "wanted". Bond is gritty and real, but definitely still fun and suave, and that is what separates him from Bourne. 2) The living Daylights- Daulton could have been one of the greats if his second movie didn't have such a lame script and budget. When I saw the living daylights as a kid, i remember it blowing me away and I dreamed I was bond for weeks after. The car chase with the escape in the chello case was lots of fun. 3) From Russia with Love 4) On her majesties secret service 5) Goldeneye 6) For your eyes only 7) Octopussy- come on, just for that title it has to be on this list! 8) The spy who loved me 9) Live and let die 10) Dr. No

No, OHMSS by The Octagoner	Jul 1st, 2008 06:06:29 AM

OHMSS rocks by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Jul 1st, 2008 06:34:01 AM
And Timothy Dalton is also seriously badass in The Living Daylights (one of my personal favourites). But Craig has re-written the rule book for me! That trailer is sweet! Roll on NOvember :)
let me continue by Cedar_Room	Jul 1st, 2008 06:50:24 AM
the love for The Living Daylights - it's a great Bond film: loads of action, good story and Dalton is badass. I really think that if LTK wasn't so poorly received he could have stayed around for years. Oh, and Die Another Day is absolutely the worst Bond film ever. The producers knew this, which is why they went the reboot way afterwards. It started out quite well, an interesting idea to have Bond captured and tortured. It promised a grittier edgier film. But then... invisible car, ice palace, bad CGI, Bond surfing a wave, face-changing bad guy, ridiculous electro suit. If it wasn't for Halle Berry in a bikini I would have demanded my money back.
Living Daylights IS great. by DocPazuzu	Jul 1st, 2008 06:59:06 AM
Hell, I'm a Temple of Doom fan so I might as well commit total TB suicide and proclaim my love for Dalton as Bond. Dalton was such a breath of fresh, deadly air after the oldy, moldy, limp-wristed fisticuffs of Roger Moore. Yeah, I said it.
best Bond theme by Cedar_Room	Jul 1st, 2008 07:01:11 AM
considering that the one in Casino Royale was so bad, I hope they improve things for QOS. Rumour had it that Amy Winehouse was going to do the new one, but considering she will have OD-ed by the time the film gets released, its probably best she doesn't. Think its going to be Leona Lewis now, and as far as I'm concerned she has a great voice. Anyway, my list of all time greatest Bond themes is: 1. Nobody Does It Better 2. Goldfinger 3. Live and Let Die 4. A View To A Kill 5. We Have All The Time In The World (alright it wasn't the theme but played at the end, but its a timeless, beautiful song) Worst Bond song of all time though is still All Time High from Octopussy. Good God it is awful.
People forget (probably) by PacmanFever	Jul 1st, 2008 07:03:47 AM
That Dalton and Living Daylights were recieved, by and large, almost as positively as Casino Royale and Craig were when it came out. If there had been am IMDB in those days it would have had an 8.0 rating or something and fanboys drooling all over it. Then LTK "bombed" (relatively speaking) at the box office (despite being a really solid, contemporary film) and alienated people with its surprisingly harsh violence. Add to that leagal problems resulting in a six year hiatus, and Dalton is regarded as a "failure".
Bond fans shouldn't dump on Moore BTW by PacmanFever	Jul 1st, 2008 07:07:30 AM
I can understand disliking his interpretation of the role, or finding him unthreatening or perhaps wooden, but he is the only one who seems to be downright proud to have been a part of the series, and is still happy to be associated with it and represent it to this day. He is a class act.
RE: Casino Royale FanBoys by Emixxary	Jul 1st, 2008 07:10:10 AM
I see a lot of flames against the few of us that saw flaws in CASino Royale. A lto of drooling praise that Casino royale was perfect, the best movie of the year, and that anyone who says anything negative about it is.. stupid. C'mon.. sure it was a fun movie, had good action.. the Parkour (crazy urban jumping) was good, not District B-13 good.. but still. But guys, there were major holes in the plot. If you are a bad guy, and need to get info out of Vesper, would you put her on the middle of a road to make craig have a car flipping crash? Oh, you also need to get info out of Craig too.. lets hope he had a seatbelt on!! Do you want to go over the other holes in film? How about his slow chase of Vesper through Venice? How about the card game?? Sure like the film and Craig.. but the film had major story problems. Even a fan boy can see that
Living Daylights IS very good, and Moore is still VERY bad by The Octagoner	Jul 1st, 2008 07:24:34 AM
I don't care how much of a gentleman Moore is in real life, his mincing, fruitty portrayal of Bond, and his turkey-waddle of a double-chin flapping in the breeze, renders him crap. Timothy Dalton was actually a very good Bond, and his first outing is very good, but he took the role at a time when people seemed really tired of the Bond character (thanks, Roger Moore).
Emixxary by The Octagoner	Jul 1st, 2008 07:28:19 AM
The bad guys never needed to get info out of Vesper, they needed info out of Bond. He's chasing them. They make his car crash. If he dies, then he's not the threat they'd assumed anyway, so the seatbelt is irrelevant (they'd already tried to kill him once with poison). Bond wasn't 'chasing' Vesper through Venice, he was following her to see who she was meeting with. 'Tailing' isn't the same thing as a 'slow chase'. How about the card game? It was a card game. Any other questions? The film's 'major story problems' seem to be problems in your processing of its story.
Dalton was an excellent Bond by Lost Jarv	Jul 1st, 2008 07:28:37 AM
and probably the closest to Ian Fleming's original character of any incarnation so far. However, LTK was crap and as he only made 2 he is deemed a bad bond. Even though Living Daylights is great. All you haters can fuck off. Dalton would feed you your own gonads. If you had any.
Worst Bond theme by Lost Jarv	Jul 1st, 2008 07:29:38 AM
Madonna's piss poor effort. Do not debate me on this.
Emixxary by DocPazuzu	Jul 1st, 2008 07:31:56 AM
Sounds like you're suffering from the same mental impediment that Der Langhaarige is. Bond was FOLLOWING Vesper to see where she was going and who she was meeting, not CHASING her. Christ, some of you people...
Lost Jarv by DocPazuzu	Jul 1st, 2008 07:34:39 AM
I actually hate the Tomorrow Never Dies theme more. Maybe it's because TND is so much better than DAD that I'm not as harsh on Madonna. Her song was shit, but it was shit along with the rest of the shit, whereas TND's theme sticks out more since the movie was better.
I actually like the TND theme by Cedar_Room	Jul 1st, 2008 07:44:06 AM
it was a classic Bond type theme, much better than TWISE or DAD, but Goldeneye was the Brosnan era's highlight.
This AND another Bourne... by metaluna	Jul 1st, 2008 07:50:55 AM
excellent! I like em both for different reasons and feel lucky that this Bond trailer looks good and if Greengrass is in charge the next Bourne flick will be great too. And for the record, Tomorrow Never Dies was an awful film. Best Brosnan Bond is Goldeneye.
Cheers Jarv, Doc - My take on Dalton by toadkillerdog	Jul 1st, 2008 08:02:07 AM
Prince Baron was a good Bond, hamstrung by the times and the scripts. Remember, by the time Dalton took over, AIDS was running rampant across the planet. Sexual adventurism was a severe no-no. Reaganism and Thatcherism were at their heights. Bond was turned into a PC, sexually neutered, stiff(pun intended). Caught in the flux of the Roger Moore crapfest of Bond scripts that marked the end of his run. Dalton was still saddled with that garbage, unfunny one liners, and gadgets and bad cold war redo scripts. He was allowed one woman and one woman only. He had to reboot a franchise that saw a 50 some year old romancing twenty years old 's and supposedly still kicking ass, he had to leave his mark on character that became the butt of jokes! Given all of that, he did a credible job. Living Daylights is a very good opening effort even saddled with the baggage I mentioned above. Still, Dalton was trying to be his own man, and in doing so, he made one huge mistake. Looking back, it does not seem like much, but at the time, his take on the iconic line rendering 'Bond, James, Bond' made it sound like he was emabarrassed to be playing the role. He rushed the dleivery, rendering it meaningless, if not more realistic. His subsequent interviews, lent credence to the belief that he was slumming it. True or not. Dalton, was not embraced. He seemed cold and distant, which is what Bond should be, but given that Connery had invested such charm in the role, Dalton had to at least try. Even Moore, who was good at first, but turned Bond into a joke, had charm. The attempts to lighten Dalton up failed badly. Dalton could not say a funny line to save his life though, and to make matters worse, the lines he was given were not funny. But he would have overcome this, if LTK was not such a shitty movie. I think given the chance, he would have been the second best Bond.
I can't believe he thought he was slumming it by Lost Jarv	Jul 1st, 2008 08:24:33 AM
Seriously, as much as I love Flash Gordon, that is slumming it. Not Bond. There was an interview with Brosnan (who was a fucking terrible Bond) in the Sunday Telegraph and he came across as a proper twat. Finally, there can be no forgiving that horrid electropap effort turned out by Lady Muck. Fucking Die Another Day was wretched on every level but really that theme song (not to mention an actual appearance) really didn't help. Bring back A-Ha.
re Dalton slumming it. by DocPazuzu	Jul 1st, 2008 08:28:12 AM
In a recent issue of Total Film (I think) he came across as someone who really felt close to the role. Don't know if his affinity for it grew over the years or if he was being a bit dodgy about it, but he genuinely seemed to care for Bond. "From this day on, let every breed of Mongo live together, in peace."
Listen yankee dogs! by Skywinker	Jul 1st, 2008 08:29:45 AM
Bond is a british institution, bow before his greatness regardless of the actor playing him, this isnt Austin Fucking Powers, its 007 so show some respect you shit kickers, take your Jason Bourne and shove him up your assholes!!!
Dalton by toadkillerdog	Jul 1st, 2008 08:39:09 AM
The perception - at the time, was that Dalton, being a stage actor - was above playing Bond. Yes, he did Flash Gordon, and it was thought he did that for the money. I loved the casting of Dalton, but he played it too cold
Live and Let Die by half vader	Jul 1st, 2008 08:40:25 AM
So awesome a song that even Axl Rose couldn't quite fuck it up. He tried though. Hey, put that thing on Rock Band. Or even Singstar. ...What were we talking about again? Oh yeah. Trailer looked cool. But Quantum sounds like BIG stuff to me, even if it's the incorrect interpretation of the idea of quantum physics. So he's got plenty of solace then? And strange that Dalton has been bloody hilarious in most everything since, not to mention camping it up like a row of tents. Hot Fuzz rocked my socks off.
Bring back Sean Connery as a Bond Villian by RicardoMontalban	Jul 1st, 2008 08:43:22 AM
Attention MGM: Mr. Connery said in a recent interview he would come out of retirement to play a Bond villain. Pay him whatever he wants! It could be the greatest Bond movie of all time. Hey movie fans, check out this great new blog at thebitterproducer.blogspot.com
Connery as villain. by DocPazuzu	Jul 1st, 2008 08:45:16 AM
Awful. Terrible stunt casting and would take the viewer out of the movie for its entirety.
Hot Fuzz sucked by toadkillerdog	Jul 1st, 2008 08:46:50 AM
Dalton has always had the ability to be a ham. I watched Hot Fuzz this weekend, and my Giod, was I severely disappointed. I love British humor, but that crapfest was something from Portugal
Doc by toadkillerdog	Jul 1st, 2008 08:49:09 AM
I totally agree. He is too iconic. It would take an amazing script to be able to overcome his perception as the hero. Not impossible, but at this point in his career, I doubt he would do it anyway.
Very mediocre. Not a touch on the brilliance of Royal by Proman1984	Jul 1st, 2008 08:55:14 AM
Bering back trhe old director!
Irrelevant anywat by Lost Jarv	Jul 1st, 2008 08:58:48 AM
LXG put the final bullet in Connery's career. Don't let him be a villain. It's a rotten idea.
Very true by toadkillerdog	Jul 1st, 2008 09:09:47 AM
Sean hung them up for good after that one.
Fuck off by Lost Jarv	Jul 1st, 2008 09:25:50 AM
Spy Who Loved Me is great.
Hot Fuzz sucked??? by half vader	Jul 1st, 2008 09:39:29 AM
No, it is YOU, who... er, suck. ;) Seriously though, gotta completely agree to disagree.
Shirley Bassey is the hotness by half vader	Jul 1st, 2008 09:41:08 AM
not the new hotness, but awesome nonetheless. Hopefully that's something we can ALL agree on in this TB.

I love Hot Fuzz.
Hot Fuzz < Shaun Of The Dead by Cedar_Room	Jul 1st, 2008 09:42:03 AM
considerably so
You bunch of motherfuckers are after my own heart by The Octagoner	Jul 1st, 2008 09:45:15 AM
Connery as a Bond villain IS a terrible idea. Dalton WAS a great but unlucky Bond. And 'Hot Fuzz' DID suck. I love British humor generally; The Office, League of Gentlemen, Black Books, etc., but Hot Fuzz was a single joke told ad-nauseaum (It's filmed like Michael Bay did it! Get it? Only these guys aren't your typical 'action heroes'! Get it?) The only good part was when that piece of masonry fell on the guy's head. Did anybody here see 'In Bruges'? That's my favorite film of the year so far. Not especially deep or profound, but funny, neat, well-acted, with some of the most perversely filmed acts of violence I've ever seen. Sort of like everything Quentin Tarantino should have been, if he'd actually been worthy of all the hyperbole put on him.
Cedar_Room by just pillow talk	Jul 1st, 2008 09:47:37 AM
That goes without saying. I'm chucking to myself just thinking about their first encounter with the dead.
Hot Fuzz and Diamonds are Forever by toadkillerdog	Jul 1st, 2008 10:01:49 AM
Hot Fuzz sucked. Sorry. as much as I wanted to love the movie - i even bought it for crying out loud, as much as I loved Shaun of the Dead, this one left me very disappointed. It just was not funny. It started out very good, but it got stale. I agree that the steeple falling on the guy was the funniest part of the whole movie. Diamonds, well, that one sholds a special place in my heart. Yes, it is not a good Bond movie, or a good movie period. Sean did it for the money and really needed a trainer. But damn it, it was my very first Bond movie, and as a kid, I went apebugshitfucknuts over it. I was hooked on Bond for life.
What the fuck? by Lost Jarv	Jul 1st, 2008 10:11:14 AM
Right. Worst Bond Movies: 1)Die Another Day. 2)The World is not Enough. Villain think's he's Hamlet. Nearly saved by the extremely fuckable ms Marceau. 3)Moonraker. Lazy and Poo. Bond does not do sci-fi. The spy Who Loved Me has the best opening and best theme of any Bond film. Ergo- does not suck.
Hot Fuzz by Lost Jarv	Jul 1st, 2008 10:11:50 AM
I like Fuzz, but it's nowhere near as good as Shaun
Jaws was a lumbering twat though by Lost Jarv	Jul 1st, 2008 10:12:34 AM
I never understood why Bond didn't just shoot him. And what was with his lame love story in Moonraker?
Moonraker was just pure dog poo by toadkillerdog	Jul 1st, 2008 10:20:06 AM
Not even the solid dog poo, but the runny kind.
Police calls in Hot Fuzz by Series7	Jul 1st, 2008 10:30:41 AM
Did anyone else notice that all the police calls Simon got, or whenever he arrested someone there name was some sort of dick reference?
Bonds by Series7	Jul 1st, 2008 10:35:24 AM
Sean - Started off as action grit Roger - Camp Lazenbee - Doesn't count Tim - Action Grit Pierce - (1) Best bond movie (Goldeneye), but ultimatly campy new Willennium over the top camp. Dainel - A jewish bond, but back to the action SO Freddie Highmore (or more likely Shia) will end up being a campy bond.
worst bond movie. by HoboCode	Jul 1st, 2008 10:51:00 AM
I wouldn't even count it as an actual Bond film but it has to be said. Never Say Never Again is pure vegemite coated ass.
World is not Enough a close second in suckage. by HoboCode	Jul 1st, 2008 10:54:16 AM
Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist? That's dumb even for a Bond film. Might as well make Elizabeth Shue a nuclear physicist in a film.....wait a sec....well at least The Saint was a much better film.
Sorry Agent Johnson by HoboCode	Jul 1st, 2008 10:55:45 AM
I must atone for that. Better strap me to Pope checking chair.
oh come on HoboCode by Cedar_Room	Jul 1st, 2008 11:00:05 AM
Denise Richards was great eye candy, and was purely there to get in the joke about Christmas coming once a year. My friend saw TWINE with his parents and told them to look out for a great joke he had heard about at the end. How very awkward that was.
Good Lord by Lost Jarv	Jul 1st, 2008 11:00:43 AM
I'd completely forgotten about "Dr" Christmas Jones. Fucking thanks for that one, fellas.
Toadkillerdog by Screwbini	Jul 1st, 2008 11:08:05 AM
You are indeed a Bond fan of my own heart. I totally agree about Diamonds Are Forever. Not a good Bond movie (Connery's worst), but for some reason it still holds a special place on my list. Probably because I was so glad to see Connery back in the role (no disrespect to Lazenby, but Connery was the ONLY Bond for me at that point). By the way, for anyone to rank ANY Roger Mooore Bond movie higher than Goldfinger (or just about any other Connery Bond movie) is INSANE!!! A View To A Kill? The WORST Bond movie ever!
Node, Never say Nevr again, was better than View to a kill by toadkillerdog	Jul 1st, 2008 11:09:14 AM
I mean, Grace Jones? Total garbage. Connery smirked his way through that film, and the hairpiece looked bad, but still, it was Sean, not Roger. Do not get me wrong, I liked Moore - in the Saint and the Pretenders that is. If anyone remembers the Pretenders, quick, name the type of car Moore drove.
A View to a Kill by HoboCode	Jul 1st, 2008 11:21:53 AM
At least it wasn't a pathetic remake of a vastly superior film. I'm not saying it's good (didn't make my Top Ten after all) but you gotta love Walken hamming it up as the villain and Grace Park was a perfect Bond henchman. That bitch scared me half to death.
Screwbini by toadkillerdog	Jul 1st, 2008 11:24:07 AM
DAF holds a place near and dear no only because it was my first Bond movie, but because I vividly recall the circumstances around seeing it. My mother took me to see it. My dad was still in Viet Nam, at the time so Mom and I always went to see movies on saturday. I wanted to see Dumbo or something like that, she told me we where going to see DAF. I had no idea what DAF was, but it sounded really bad. Some boring grown up movie that would put me to sleep in five minutes. I put my foot down - and got dragged off anyway. Needless to say, from the opening credits, i was hooked. And when the car flipped on to two wheels, well, i just about lost it. My mother had a cheshire cat grin on her face I will never forget. She knew I would love Bond - even if the title sucked (for a kid).
View To A Kill by Lost Jarv	Jul 1st, 2008 11:26:34 AM
Better than World is Not Enough and Die Another Day AND Tomorrow Never Dies. There's loads of reasons for this- To be honest, I think Brosnan is the most overrated Bond ever. He only made 1 good film (although to be fair it was a cracker). And he runs like a girl.
Fred late again - but Fred think CR was great by Freds_Balls_in_a_Mason_Jar	Jul 1st, 2008 12:29:30 PM
Top three Bond movie all time. Fred loved Deborrah Kerr, she make Fred have fantasy. Oh, thuis about OTHER CR. Fred sorry. Craig is Fred's second favorite Bond behind Woody Allen. Fred just kidding. Peter Sellers always be number 2.
Hottest Bond Girl? by HoboCode	Jul 1st, 2008 12:50:11 PM
Domino from Thunderball. Fucking gorgeous. Claudine Auger.

It's hip to bash the Brosnan movies by superunknown85	Jul 1st, 2008 02:09:10 PM
but I honestly think that Diamonds Are Forever is easily the worst of them all, followed by Live and Let Die.
Tomorrow Never Dies is great for two main reasons. by HoboCode	Jul 1st, 2008 03:25:59 PM
1. Michelle Yeoh kicks the shit out of everyone in the film. 2. The villain is a Rupert Murdoch-like transnational media mogul who all too believably uses his information news network to provoke governments into war.
It's hip to bash the Brosnan movies by tk 421	Jul 1st, 2008 04:00:17 PM
Because they are straight up garbage, pure and simple. While the worst of Connery's Bond films, DAF is easily better than anything that watch model Brosnan did. Worst Bond film is a tie between Die Another Day & The World is Not Enough.
All too unbelievable - Invisible cars... by half vader	Jul 1st, 2008 04:01:05 PM
that turn inTANGIBLE too. What. The. Fuck.
I thought I was the only one who like Living Daylights. by allykatD	Jul 1st, 2008 04:22:59 PM
I loved that Bond movie, the first decent Bond in a long line of what I thought were stinkers until Casino Royale came along. I liked Dalton, I thought he made a good Dond, and I loved the story of LD, I liked the idea of Bond going rogue. In light of people coming out and saying that they liked LD, a friend, and a hard core Bond fan, just told me he liked Timothy Daltona and LD too. Glad to see it. That being said, I'm really enjoying Craig as a harder, edgier Bond.
Casino Royale was great casting overcoming a so-so script by drewlicious	Jul 1st, 2008 04:36:23 PM
It would have been a much better movie if it didn't have that last twenty minutes in Venice. Other than that it was pretty tight. I'm really looking forward to Quantum of Solace, Bond's got a personal stake and we can get a better climax than a card game.
WTF? by Mattyboy122	Jul 1st, 2008 05:44:16 PM
What kind of revisionism is this? TND is fucking terrible! Jon Pryce as Hearst/Murdoch, starting World War III to sell newspapers!? Goldeneye remains the only top-knotch Bond film by Brosnan (and while The World is Not Enough wasn't bad, it is entirely forgettable). TND and DAD are awful. As far as worst Bond flicks go, I'd probably put up Moonraker. I never cared for Roger Moore, to be honest. From Russia with Love and Casino Royale are probably my two favorites.
And one more thing... by Mattyboy122	Jul 1st, 2008 05:49:45 PM
Is Craig Jewish? I know he played a Jew in Munich and in that upcoming Ed Zwick flick, but he looks like a nazi superman!
Hot Fuzz = Shaun of the Dead by AlwaysThere	Jul 1st, 2008 06:01:58 PM
I wasn't completely enamored with HF after my first viewing, but the 2 go through sold me on it completely. It was the same with Shaun. There's too much going on in these movies in terms of setups then payoffs for you to get everything with one viewing. I'd go as far to say that this movies are 2 of the best plotted flicks you can find out there.
I think Craig may be half Jewish but not sure. by HoboCode	Jul 1st, 2008 07:46:29 PM
Anyway the invisible car was in the DAD dreck, not TND. And starting WWIII to sell newspapers. Hell yes. We're talking about a global media empire, not the Pittsburgh Gazette.

CR was the Bond movie all OHMSS fans dreamt for 38 years. This QOS trailer just plain sucks, there's nothing that seems classy about it, just plain TV movie land follow up. They mucked it again.
Does Craig have it written into his contract by half vader	Jul 2nd, 2008 05:04:11 AM
that they pump up the blue in his eyes to chromakey levels? Every shot, every movie. Maybe HE is the Kwisatz Haderach! Nazi superman, ha ha.
Agent Johnson by DocPazuzu	Jul 2nd, 2008 06:54:34 AM
Sounds like you should have stayed in that helicopter in Die Hard. TWINE is beyond terrible. I hate it even more than I hate Die Another Day, a film I truly loathe. The only good thing about TWINE is when "Dr. Christmas Jones'" sweater gets drenched aboard the sub. Everything else is complete shit, from the weak-ass villains and the tepid action scenes to the lame "No, I can protect you!" finale of the opening chase and Coltrane's alarming Scotto-Russian accent (which he mysteriously adopted AFTER Goldeneye). STINKO!
Worst Bond movies: by Motoko Kusanagi	Jul 2nd, 2008 08:09:03 AM
