The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......

Archer of the toon of the same name is a clone of a Connery Brosnan mix in the looks department they finally payed homage to Craig when Archer had to go on chemo.

I couldn't think of who Archer was reminding me of on his killing rampage then it hit me with no eyebrows he had a striking resemblance to Craig.

[Kristatos]

First things first, we're going to need a whole chunks of horrid reviews worse than QOS before it reaches the UK.

But these are things we have no control over. It's important to have achievable goals. Nothing we do or say is going to make an ounce of difference to SF's reviews or box office. But we can counter lies (that QOS was a resounding success, that Brosnan killed the franchise until Craig revitalised it) with facts. Keep hammering away at those myths wherever you find them and it is possible for even a fairly small number of people to affect public consciousness. Why do you think governments and lobbying firms employ people to post on social media sites and internet comments boards?

[shaken not stirred]

If Cr-egg stays I want the franchise to end now, but Eon will keep churning out as many films as they can so that the minions can rush to see them.......we need a LTK response to Bond 23 at the box office.

The way people are getting hyped over that d**n stupid beepy trailer I think he's gonna stay , all the same crap on there he's what fleming envisioned, this is real bond, this is a film that's trying too hard, cregg will never be bond even if he stays to do something stupid like 12 bond films, you put caville or jackman in that trailer you'd turn a 24 carrot rotting turd into 24 carrot gold (and put an old man back as q instead of someone who looks like they work in pc world), the way craig said bond james bond didn't have any finesse to it either, every other actor even Dalton (no offense to Dalton fans) atleast somehow managed to say bond james bond a bit better than craig, you need to get that bond, james bond part right just like any actor who plays batman has to say I'm batman properly or it comes off as crap, batman strikes fear into people just like bonds supposed to show class and be suave, craig sounds like he regrets saying bond james bond, it's the d**n top title and you're the best agent keanu reeves could've given a better performance.

The villain looks bloody stupid in the wig and no one who's seen that trailer's even mentioned that there's a scene that parodys the dark knight where a joker looking person walks off and blows up a house in a very similar way the joker blew up a hospital block (only difference is this was done at night instead of daytime), there's no originality in this film, the train fighting sequence was done better in under siege 2 (and if you play videogames uncharted 2 delivers a much better experience).

If DC's going to stay, I say we should campaign for this thing to be the next James Bond. Shaken.....since you're a gamer, I would assume you know who this is.

Not sure what the enemy is but it looks similar to an enemy out of a quake game.

It is from Quake, and this monster is known as the Shambler.

[video][/video]

Shaken, let's say we campaign for this monster to replace DC as Bond if Babs is full of herself in making Bond 23 a success.

After 30 days in the USA, with 3-D and Imax effects added on, Garfield's non-Amazing film is $71 MILLION behind Tobey's last Spider-Man 3 film in the USA.(30-Day Total: $245,327,116 vs. 30-Day Total: $316,005,192) So much for success of this here. How can any studio head rationalize rebooting a film that did $890 million in 2007? It might slip to 8th or 9th this weekend as the Bat continues to soar. So much for the need of a reboot. Pascal was wrong again FBF, she is as much the culprit as the rotten green vegetable at Eon. MP, have a great trip and wave to the Eskimos for all of us and be our good will anti-Cregg ambassador on the cruise Spread the word to not see Bond 23 but see Anna Karenina instead, right FBF?

BJ, the Bat's going to need you again. You wanted Andy's poisonous arachnid to lose and continue to gross lower than any of Tobey's Spidey. If you want this, just do I did and watch TDKR again. I'm going to see it for the 11th time in the next hour. Also, see Ice Age 4 as well. I did my part already. Now is your turn.

Spread the word to not see Bond 23 but see Anna Karenina instead, right FBF?

Yes, but let's not forget Anne Karenina will be Rated R (not to mentioned having a limited release), and most artistic films tend to get this rating. I wouldn't be surprised if Lincoln will get the same rating. It would be nice if we have another wide release on the 9th.

If worse comes to worse, send in the weirdos, and some of them are in my list here:

Dallas was the number one cable original last night, earning a 0.8 adults 18-49 rating, up a tenth from last week's 0.7 adults 18-49 rating, and 3.2 million viewers. It regularly beats out NBC's Rock Center's ratings and beat all of ABC's programming last night. MP, have you gotten into it yet? FBF, I will see the Bat again tomorrow afternoon. It will do very nicely. How many 2012 films have worldwide grosses so far over $600 million?

[bjmdds]

http://movies.msn.com/movies/article.aspx?news=747951& Huge good news here. If Twilight was moved, it would benefit Bond 23 but thankfully it's on cruise control to stamp out Cr-egg's film November 16.

[FormerBondFan]

How many 2012 films have worldwide grosses so far over $600 million?

Worldwide, we have 5 films surpassing the $600 million mark. Domestically, 9 films have surpass QOS' $168 million in the US, and 8 of them went over $200 million.

Let's hope The Bourne Legacy gets some action.

You don't think it's going to beat TBU's numbers, would it?

I was going to see Legacy, but without Damon, I'll save it when it comes out on DVD.

[Kristatos]

Let's hope The Bourne Legacy gets some action.

Why? It was trying to copy the Bourne films that led to the ruination of Bond in the first place. If this one underperforms, the rationale for the reboot (that Bourne represents the future of the spy thriller) goes out of the window.

Plus, Matt Damon is not in here so I like to see this gross lower than TBU.

[bjmdds]

I would love to see it do more than Bond 23 but very unlikely. The more films that do higher numbers than Bond 23 in 2012 the better.

The ONLY thing that has led to the ruination of the franchise is the lust of DC by an enamored owner of Eon. She fantasizes about him naked and went against everyone else's judgment to give him the role.

The horrible attempts of the Bond producers trying to mimic Bourne, has only made the Bourne series look more superior as a result. By the looks of the Skyfall trailers, the film seems to be a bit influenced by Batman. Once upon a time everybody wanted to be like James Bond, and now James Bond wants to be like everybody else.

Sorry I haven't been around but I'm getting ready to go on a Alaskan cruise.Not sure how much access I'll have to DCINB while I'm on the ship but might try to post at least once while I'm aboard.

How do you get to go on all these wonderful trips? Does you family own the cruse line? Sounds like a cool trip
Have a great trip!

This is their third attempt at making Batman Begins, down to Bond Manner burning down.

I think when more spoilers come it we will find out this is Q begins and MP begins as well. I don't like the new Q he's too young.
