I watched a bit of For Your Eyes Only yesterday, and I laughed way too hard at Blofeld pleading with Bond for his life before he drops him from the helicopter. “We can do a deal! I’ll buy you a delicatessen!”

AceOfFlames posted:My favorite part of QoS was Greene going into screaming berserker mode and trying to axe Bond to death. I haven’t seen QoS since it was in theatres, but didn’t Greene end up axeing himself in the foot? I remember it being pretty icky for a Bond movie.

I wonder if they’d ever consider doing some movies which are set in the 60s? I’d be into that as a change of pace for a little bit.

Licence To Kill has three things going for it: 1. The old dude dancing next to the pool at the wedding 2. Sanchez blowing up Krest’s head 3. That awful fish sculpture that was the first thing Bond saw when he woke up.  I love that movie but fully recognize it’s a terrible movie.

I know Spectre isn’t very good at all, but man, is the car chase in Rome fun. Between none of the car’s gadgets working, to Bond rear ending that little Fiat, to his repartee with Moneypenny over the phone, it’s fun in a very Bond movie sort of way that the Craig movies by and large aren’t. I kinda hope whatever comes next introduces a little bit more of that fun stuff.

Jonathan Pryce makes an absolute meal out of that role. That movie has some flaws, but he knocks it out of the park. Easily my favorite villain of the Brosnan era and probably one of my top four or five.

I guess I’m the only person who really liked the Sam Smith song. It was a bit of a departure but I still think it worked.

Cacator posted:Spectre attempts to do this too but fails. The car chase with Dave Bautista being a prime example, they're both driving exotic cars and there are gags about the gadgets and bystanders but it's so goddamn boring. The best part of that sequence is Bond’s back and forth with Moneypenny.

I mean, at least something is moving forward. I’d be more curious to see who they hire to write and direct the film.

Didn’t Tarantino want to do a Bond movie with Brosnan post Die Another Day or did I imagine that? Also, Die Another Day…what a cool premise for a Bond movie at the start, but good lord does it ever go off the rails. I also kind of like the Madonna song, I’m a certified sicko.

I always got a kick out of Felix cheerily telling Bond he’s been rehired by M just days after his wife was brutally murdered.

You Know My Name is easily a top tier song for me. Tina Turner’s Goldeneye also is a banger. Tina (and Bono and the Edge) knew the assignment.

ynohtna posted:I'm always fond of those moments when he corrects M about some esoteric factoid. "Ah, not quite, M. This is actually a far rarer 1951 prototype McGuffin that never entered production." (The exposition expert nods in respectful appreciation of Bond's fine eye for detail.) One of my favorite Bond moments is in Diamonds when he identifies the vintage of the wine the sherry he’s drinking came from to M. He just needs to show off.

https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/legacyremembers/joe-baker-obituary?id=58381213 Joe Don Baker died. Whitaker was kinda meh for a Bond villain, but Jack Wade was a fun contrast to Bond and I wish he got another chance play him.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:HARD disagree, Whitaker owns. He has a hall of wax dummies of himself dressed as Caligula and Hitler! Bond walks in on him doing a Warhammer game of the Battle of Bull Run the way he would've done it! In fairness, I haven’t watching Living Daylights in years and remembered being underwhelmed. I’ll have to give it another go.
