The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......

[Kristatos]

what did she say?

Mostly she seems to post about how much she hates her fans. Either someone is deliberately trying to sabotage her career or she is doing it herself unaided.

[katied]

What is this actresses' problem? If EON are trying to sabotage themselves, having a diva as one of their Bond girls will be the straw that broke the camel's back.

MP, this film, Bond 23, is a comedy of errors. The inmates are running the asylum but the problem is you cannot tell which from which.

That's about it. Just wait until people discover what a rhymes-with-witch she is. She's going to love having to do press tours and interact with fans.

Q: When you made "Casino Royale," you had the Bourne movies you were being compared to. Now you have the last "Mission: Impossible" as that franchise seems to be upping its game as well. How do you guys feel about that?
Broccoli: I'm always thrilled. I always say when good movies are out, it's good for us because when there are good movies, audiences they go see them, they have a great time, they go back to the movies. So, I'm thrilled that "Mission: Impossible" is doing well, that the Bourne series did well. It's what we want. We want good competition because we need people to keep going to the movies.
Craig: I agree. (Now MI:4 is their targeted film, as well already knew).

Assuming it's her writing this stuff of course. I'm a firm believer in giving people the benefit of the doubt, so I'm going to assume that it's someone impersonating her with malicious intent. At least until proven otherwise. But I have to say, it's becoming quite hard to hold on to that position given the lack of any official statements. (edit: I had another look and a number of posts appear to have been scrubbed. Either her account was hacked, or someone has had a word in her shell-like and told her that referring to her fans as "fags" and "junkies" ain't the best career move).

[katied]

It's possible that her account got hacked into.But if she really is that big of a diva..that's not good. That's the kind of publicity that EON does NOT need(though they screw things up well enough on their own!)

HitFix visited the set of "Skyfall" in London last week and asked Broccoli and 007 himself, Daniel Craig, if Adele's participation was in the works.

Broccoli smiles and says, "We haven’t picked a song yet or anyone to sing it."

Craig raises an eyebrow and adds, "How about Adele?"

"You know, she’s wonderful; we love her," Broccoli says. "So, it’ll be great if she would do it, but we haven’t got any -- we haven’t made any decision yet."

And teasingly, Broccoli makes sure to add, "Watch this space."

If Adele does end up taking part she'd be the first artist from Great Britain to sing a 007 title track since Scot Shirley Manson and Garbage sang "The World is Not Enough" in 1999. Another Brit would be appropriate for "Skyfall" since the film marks the 50th Anniversary of the movie franchise and a majority of this adventure will take Bond back to his roots in London. (FBF, get the shovel ready to bury the franchise).

No. We're going to annihilate the franchise using nukes.

Inside the tunnel, someone yells "Action," as hordes of people stop moving around and gaze at the monitor. The only sound in the room comes from Daniel Craig, walking through the squalor and taking aim at the film's antagonist, played by Javier Bardem. As the scene continues, Bardem is halfway up a ladder, making himself -- you would think -- an easy target. Nonetheless, dialogue ensues. Although the moment seems to have all the hallmarks of a traditional Bond/villain exchange, Craig later points out that "Skyfall" has some deeper elements than audiences might expect, calling the film “a rich palette of characters.”

As for the rest of the cast, they're not saying much. When asked about the blond wig that he was spotted wearing on set last month, Bardem responds, all wide-eyed and poker-faced, “Where did you see that?” And Judi Dench, when pressed on the future prospects of her character, M, only states that, “I’m just happy to get to the next job.”

But this movie is obviously not going to be Bond-gone-minimalistic: At one point, I spot a half-built helicopter sitting quietly nearby on set.

As for the general story line of "Skyfall," that has been kept under wraps, as well. Nevertheless, I eventually got a tiny hint when my group of fellow journalists made a trip to the armory consultant, who revealed that there's a mixture of weaponry old and new on this film, with one character, Kincade (Albert Finney), displaying a penchant for the more classical firearms. (Sounds like utter trash and it will not come close to MI:4 box office numbers and it will be deemed a colossal bore and not Bondian.)

[bjmdds]

Bardem hopes his transformation into Silva will ultimately be something fans have never before seen onscreen. "In these times, there is nothing that we haven't seen before, but I guess it's a different type of person [than] I've played before," he explained.

Another way to brainwash the general public. Now this is why this next corrupted Bond must be NUKED.

I am waiting to see if Bardem's dialogue is in line with "It rubs the lotion on its skin, or else it gets the hose again."

[FormerBondFan]

Better for the franchise to be put into a long hiatus than to have Bond 23 to brainwash the general public and the general audience.

[katied]

@ BJ's "It puts the lotion in the basket" comment.. well, they've already ripped off so many other movies, why not?


My thoughts on this are at my new blog(yes, I switched blogs again)

OK they took over the Bourne market but bourne is old news, so they asked about MI4 which was a old school Bond film in many ways. Almost too ironic in a you brought the wrong tool for the job kind of way. But I'll say this now the new Bourne movie in august if it is any good may affect how people see Bond, if Bourne 4 does well and has fresh story I fear Bond will look faded and out of date next to a year (dec 2011- dec 2012) of several good non bond movies.

If Timothy Dalton proved one thing its that Bond can be good as long as they are telling a story that is uniquely bond.

[bjmdds]

Cr-egg is so full of himself and oblivious to his numerous box office failures. He and Sony and Eon are in stark denial of the facts.

[Thunderpussy]

It must be nice in Craig's world, where every film you make is a huge success.
and you're the "Greatest actor of your generation "
And I thought they where pulling back on the " Fantasy " bits of the Bonds.

Not that I especially want to read more (I'm a little Skyfalled out) but where did this passage appear?
