I think it was Roger Deakins as cinematographer on Skyfall but yes he is the primary reason that movie is as good as it is. Still I'm looking forward to the next. Casino Royale is the best but because it was a refreshing take on Bond and had a lot of great characer moments in situations that weren't actioN or stunts like the Poker game. That helped set it apart. And also as always Eva Green killed it. I'd like it if Pierce Brosnan played a defected 00 agent. Gatts fucked around with this message at 15:06 on Dec 5, 2014 |

He work great as a suave charming villain. Granted we just had that and it was well done by Javier but I think Brosnan would work great. Especially if he were something like a father figure to Bond so his betryal has some impact.

No old Bonds should be in new Bonds and every time it comes up as part of that weird codename theory it becomes a worse and worse idea.

yeah, it wouldnt make sense to have brosnan as an old bond as there is only the one bond. thats not what we're saying. but brosnan as a villain/defected kind of british agent works well. you owe it to at least watch the matador Meatlove if you havent. that kind of older jaded agent but with the villainous streak instead

"Launder it."

Speaking of which I hope there is another chair sequence in the next Bond flick. In Casino we had the villain tie him to a chair and attempt to bust his balls and it got a bit gay and very physical. Then we had another where someone tries to seduce him in a chair psychologically and Bond replies "what makes you think this is my first time?" So here's hoping they one up that and we get a robot or woman or badger or something that does this to Bond. He has a history of people going for his privates ever since that laser beam in Goldfinger.

Mr. Fortitude posted:I dunno what to even pick for the worst Bond movie, there's lots of contenders. Literally everything with Piece Brosnan. Daniel Craig is legit a better bond than any previous. I suppose in the 70's everyone loved the Roger Moore/Sean Connery style bond, all hairy and old and poo poo, but the reboot was much needed for a modern audience. EDIT: Casino Royale, while being a bit dated now that there's not 24/7 Texas Hold'em tournaments on TV, was good because the reboot made Bond more of a real person compared to previous iterations. This SPECTRE thing is loving dumb though, there's plenty of international intrigue that could make a better story line than some bullshit fake terrorist organization with a "secret island training base" Anyone who's not an idiot knows that Russia still spies on the U.S. and vice versa. There's plenty of political poo poo that could still go down, but this SPECTRE thing is a problem that the actual military can solve with 2 drones and a nuclear submarine. Spies need to do spy stuff, that's what makes spy movies interesting. SopWATh fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Dec 5, 2014 |

James Bond has always been a terrible spy. More often than not, he just walks right up to his target and introduces himself.

the best you could do for a modern bond is go to a frat and find the biggest mcdouche bro, give them a gun.

License to Kill is amazing just because Bond gives no fucks about killing everyone and everything simply for revenge instead of queen and country like all the other ones.

Yeah even in the other ones where he goes rogue he's still chasing down targets that England wants to take down, but no one at mi6 could give a poo poo about sanchez and crew and bond goes after them anyway to the point where M is ready to put him down in person. Even if it's not a great movie the exchange between Bond and M might be one of the best ever between the two I wish diamonds are forever was more of a license to kill style followup of OHMSS, that could've been awesome

It's a common misconception. There are three separate streams of intelligence operatives: spies gather intelligence, analysts figure out courses of action based on the intelligence and agents enact those courses that fall outside the possibilities of diplomacy. Spies never use weapons, they're deeply embedded in a foreign community, totally passive. Even planting a bug is usually outside their purview. Accurate, constant information is vital for the modern intelligence service and you don't just burn a cover by getting a spy to go around killing people without a really good reason. Is Bond a good agent though? Absolutely, when used correctly. At certain points in the metaplot his overtness is used as a strength, a kind of intelligence atomic weapon to scare the baddies into line. This kind of psychological warfare on the intelligence level has historically been used by the allies and later NATO to tremendous effect.

Egbert Souse posted:Has anyone unironically claimed the 1960s Casino Royale to be the best yet? I was reading the thread up until this post wondering if I really was the only person in the world who'd seen it. Nobody believes me that it exists. I remembered seeing it on television once during the day when I was little, and then a few years ago found it in a £1 DVD bin at Blockbuster. For the cast alone its worth watching, also the best Bond weapon ever, firing a pistol into a curved hand rail in a casino to hit the guy standing at the other side. Trailer.
