That is below average even for the SUN. The "source" sounds suspiciously like a collogue sitting across the desk from them.

Rachel Weisz is decent but not a powerhouse. She wouldn't be a bad choice a mixed as I am about Quantum I don't if know a Ernstna Stacy Blofeld is a sound idea.

Is there something else behind all this? Seems a little harsh.

The Tabloid Bond 23 Plot seems to be gleaned from any fan site including this one.

And interestingly, many of the things we complained about back in 2007 have now been picked up by the mainstream. We came back into fashion by holding to our views. These posts I found the other day at another place perfectly illustrate this. I have to admit that this new working class/blue collar ...

If QT is still complaining about not having a chance to do CR, I think he should just shut up and do a regular espionage movie with Pierce as the lead. Easy enough to do if they want to make it.They couldn't use the Bond theme, name or gunbarrel everything else would be fair game as long as they ch...

In a word compelling. One of the more interesting Bond related write ups I've seen recently. :up: Looking forward to part 2 And yet even a movie with the esteem and cultural impact of Goldfinger has its enemies and party poopers. Anyone who’s made a cursory study of the Bond phenomenon is familiar w...

Where did CR lose you? It has plenty of action and was more of action flick than the last 20. How do you figure that? It only had 3 major action setpieces (the African embassy scene, the Miami airport chase and the Venice climax) and the last of those was largely redundant. Most of the movie was ba...

What a pity! A very bad decision IMHO. Cornell was awful. Goldfrapp would have created an inspired soon to be classic song.

A shift towards or away from Craig on these other forums(MI6;Cb.net)? A shift away. I've definitely noticed CR getting bashed more now - from the same fans who loved it when it first came out..... :roll: I'll tell you what the trouble is right here CR is dull. I will forget all about who is cast as...

I wouldn't want somebody too unknown. Lazenby was the least experience actor they hired for Bond and he didn't work out very well.

You can say Bond 23's opening might be effected by the general disappointment of QOS, I don't doubt it. However I think there will be plenty of people coming up on opening weekend in the hopes of Craig having a film about as good as CR. We'll see when we get there. I've been saying that for a while...

Oh, okay. So what you're all saying is that internet forums debating Craig = Craig Failed, No Questions *faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrt* :roll: Nerd forums do not reflect the opinions of everyone else outside. I mean before CR came out Craig was condemned by most of the general public and heavily debat...

"What do you mean this is PG-13? Jackman gets to see them, but I don't?"

The re-boot was only ever a problem for dcinb and alt.OO7 fans. For most it was never an issue. The reboot/Craig was an issue all over the place. I was on the forums when Craig was cast and MI6 & AJB were like a warzone. Cbn had a popular thread called 'Stuff Daniel Craig' . What happened? Well, th...

I never said he was despicable. :lol: My genuine reaction to the false article was "oh well, it's his career". I believe he's proud of being a part of the Bond legacy, I mean what sane actor wouldn't be? I wasn't specifically talking about your comments, I haven't read them all so I don't know what...

We could match your The Hildebrand Rarity with bits and pieces of some of my ideas to make a way to connect the two Bond Continuums. I would use the Garden of Death Dr Shatterhand and the end of YOLT to make room for a new Bond series. Which would be better than connecting Dr No to the end of the re...

My vision never went beyond prettier cities and cooler technology. Intergalactic travel, would be fine. Would there be Alien menace? An Alien SPECTRE perhaps.

Not really. It is a basic James Bond of the future. Some relationship with "M" the same military history the same personal history only transposed to a future template. The sexual attitudes could be tweaked to be more appropriate for a audience of this day or tweaked to be more as Ian Fleming had th...

Bad translation is all. Super good is what he wanted.

He said it then his agent called him.All there is too it. Because it couldn't be possible that he liked the films. Not for DCINB at least. :wink: When he calls the movies s**t is he despicable and when he backpedals, I don't see how we can't take this as some furious backpedaling, he is a upstandin...
