I think my mass effect is broken

Fart City posted:

Actually, that does make me wonder: Bond was rebooted. Blocked was rebooted. I wonder how far we are away from some of the classic henchman like Oddjob or Baron Samedi getting rebooted. Jaws feels like a super safe bet, since he appeared in multiple movies. It kind of feels inevitable.

Edit: Jaws also appeared in the Brosnan era Everything Or Nothing videogame, reprised by Richard Kiel, so there’s definitely precedent for him being loosey-goosey cannon-wise.

Which begs the question: is M from the Craig movies up until the last 10 minutes or so of Skyfall the same M from the Brosnan films?

Goldfinger (2022). In which Auric Goldfinger (Emma Stone) manipulates the value of Bitcoin to cause a cryptocurrency crash and massively boost the value of her own stocks of gold and colloidal silver, by planting a neutron EMP weapon inside the NSA. Bond (Daniel Craig, paid $65 million to reprise the role one more time) defeats her with his fists and a series of tired, sarcastic-sounding sighs and grunts that in the script were gold-themed one-liners. Directed by somebody currently in high school who will make one kinda-well-received indie movie before being installed as a puppet by Eon, the stunt coordinators and second-unit directors, and an uncredited but well-compensated for his creative input Daniel Craig.

Right, so, James Norton didn't really impress in McMafia and Tom Burke didn't really blow everyone away in Strike, so what's the over/under on Richard Madden's Bond tryout in Bodyguard working? :v:

Never heard of this guy until now but I can't imagine they'd ever cast such an uggo to be Bond.

I'd like if Pierce Brosnan played a Bond villain.

He's so slimy that you just know there is some dark poo poo beneath that gentleman surface.

Plus he could give Bond a run on his money on deadly quips.

brosnan should have played the villain in skyfall.

This is absolutely going to have the longest gap between movies since Licence to Kill and GoldenEye, isn't it?

It's going to equal if it gets released in 2021 which is looking ever more likely.

Purvis and Wade again? :ughh: Have they got some kind of "no one knows James Bond as well as us" mojo going on, or just a really good agent?

They've proven they can get a goddamn movie out, which no one else seems to be able to do.

Probably too many cooks. When it was just Cubby Broccoli in charge, it was pot luck whether the next movie would be good or bad, but at least you knew there'd be one along in two years. Now they've got Eon (probably with multiple executives all wanting their own say), the studio and the star who all have to agree on everything before the director even gets involved. I guess that Purvis and Wade just take all the notes from everyone and mush them into the developing script without complaining.

I think my favorite Q scene is in Goldeneye, the hunting joke is killer and there are plenty of gags going on in the background, plus the lunch joke at the end is cute.

Not retaining John Cleese as the new Q post-reboot was criminal.

I have nothing particularly against Ben Whishaw but he lacks presence.

I want to see Ben Winshaw’s Q but not directed like he’s super sleepy because we can’t have silly Bond any more.

He was fine in Skyfall. He was loving terrible in Spectre, but then again so was almost everyone else.

Cary Fukunaga to direct Bond 25.

Solid choice, but he could barely handle Pizzolato in S1 of True Detective, I wonder if he'll be able to suffer Eon/Craig.
