No Time to Die 007 - Time to Go Broke

[InsolentGaylord]

Settle down shitdick I'm just havin' a laugh. I just thought it was funny you were so confident in (((them))) scaring off white moviegoers to post this only to act like you didn't really even care when it became the Wests highest grossing movie.

It was probably because they tweaked the movie during production to avoid alienating dumb sheep as much as they could have...but I have no outright proof of that so who knows, that's just what a lot of people theorize.

I mean why should I care? People like you seem perfectly happy to be a shit guzzling sheep who will enjoy whatever hollywood shits out in your mouth, so why should I care?

So yeah, have fun with these garbage movies while I stop giving them attention, not even hate watching them because I have better things to do with my time now.

So Gruber of daring fireball fame is a massive Bond fan. He recommended this podcast about the evolution of music in James Bond films.

Is there a James Bond podcast that doesn't go off the rails with current year politics?

Why they can't have the charm of the older movies I just don't know.

Bond movies used to be lifestyle porn. Who the hell wants to be Craig's bond? He's so miserable.

Someone who wants to look great in a jumper.

I highly doubt that.

You’ll be back to doompost about the next franchise that goes “woke”.

He's the Bond with the least charisma or charm, that's for sure. People say Dalton was a gritty Bond too, but at least he wasn't so totally joyless.

I like how you are acting like that isn't a thing, like Hollywood itself hasn't become Woke lol.

Culture warriors like you have diluted the term so much that any media which features a woman or a non-white is deemed “woke”, so the less autistic among us have started tuning you out.

For real though. The way they marketed the movie was quite woke. The final movie itself had the usual stench of wokeness: Overly serious and boring storytelling with a focus on female empowerment with the main male character being emasculated.

Also you are basically admitting you are just a sheep and have a bad taste in entertainment.

That was the intended approach for Craig's Bond when Casino Royale was being made. That's why he ended up being very close to Swann. I can't remember, but were there any other movies where Bond married someone as opposed to just sleeping with them or have intimate moments with them?

Making Bond intentionally bland sounds like a poor choice to me. Sure, Tracy Bond in OHMSS.

He married the best of them

On the run after escaping from Blofeld. At wits end and nowhere to turn. And there's Tracy.

My favorite scene in any James Bond movie.

 

[Commander X]

One thing that came about due to the ownership of Blofeld and SPECTRE being contested by Kevin McClory was that when Victory Games published the James Bond 007 tabletop RPG back in the 80s, of course those couldn't be used. Therefore the game describes a somewhat similar organization – TAROT. (Technological Accession, Revenge, and Organized Terrorism). Instead of Blofeld, TAROT is led by mastermind Karl Ferenc Skorpios, son of Gypsy circus performers who took inspiration from his fortune-teller mother's tarot cards and thus it's not just a funky acronym, his criminal empire is organized in a way inspired by the cards, each branch of the org named after an appropriate card. Terrorism is handled by "The Tower", robbery the purview of "The Wheel of Fortune", etc.

Now that sounds like a Bond organization I can get behind, I like the gimmick.

I'd say bond should go back to more outlandish concepts and levity, the whole "dark and gritty realistic bond" is already done better by other movies and franchises.
but since we're neck deep in "no fun allowed" it's gonna take a while till we could get that, and the question is if bond as a franchise even makes it that far.

 

[Agent Smith]

Yes but he had invisible cars and other mad “toys” that discredited the whole series I thought.

I enjoyed the new movie but we need a new Bond

That was Bronson, not Dalton. And I’d still take the Vanish over Craig and his boring, dour, forgettable movies.

Ah yes, I tend to mix those two up in my mind as one

She's saying Bond is a man. It's about casting. I don't think it at all means they will or would cast a non-binary actor to play a male Bond. It's a difficult question. If she said, "no" it'd be a story another way.

It just highlights the pitfalls around Bond and how they can never win with the press.

Best thing for the Bond franchise going forward is to cast someone like Cavill and make a singular Bond film that is great. No over arching story. No old Bond. No prequel Bond. Just an established Bond who goes on a mission, solves it and gets the girl.
