POLL: What to do with DC Bond films when DC himself retires?
Unless you're Sweenster, Nash, Stocks or some other minion, no one here should pick the first option.

And that's exactly why I voted what I did: Do Nothing.FormerBondFan wrote:Unless you're Sweenster, Nash, Stocks or some other minion, no one here should pick the first option.
Because it's actually a sensible option when it applies to Not Caring and to Just Walk Away. For REAL, rather than just saying it 20 times per week ad infinitum like a pathological need for attention that's really quite .. disturbing.
Because I am an individual with my own valid opinions and beliefs, and if that means they don't conform with exactly what YOU think, then I guess I AM a "minion" according to your vain assumptions (awww... Too bad).
Because I don't give a $#!+. That's why I've never had an ulcer, because I know when to say "I don't give a $#!+."
Because YOU don't approve.
And because I just don't like you.

"Sweenster, Nash, Stocks" those are names from the past!
I'd buy all the Craig films plus the mastertapes and blast them into space.

You REALLY ARE a minion even long before I posted this poll. Why? You're the type who just admit DEFEAT and allow this DC Virus to walk among us.Barry Niven wrote:Because I am an individual with my own valid opinions and beliefs, and if that means they don't conform with exactly what YOU think, then I guess I AM a "minion" according to your vain assumptions (awww... Too bad).
I gave up James Bond long ago, and it's time for us to accept that he's not for us anymore. Aidan Turner may be an ideal choice as he's the traditional type, but really I wouldn't want him to get mix with Babs' corrupted regime based on her poor treatment of Pierce (whom you didn't care any less but hey it's your choice). If you decide to support and trust Babs The B1tch again, you might as well add Craig Bonds into your collection.

Re: POLL: What to do with DC Bond films when DC himself reti
I suppose I have a bit of a sadomasochistic streak as I'm going to wade in to this.
I know this is just a gag, at least I hope it is, but I voted do nothing, for some very obvious reasons.
First if you don't already own any Craig swag yet, and you shouldn't, why would you go out and buy it so you could destroy it? You'd be better off taking your cash out to the yard and lighting it on fire, cutting out the middle man, which brings up the second point.
You'd only be lining Babzy's pockets by doing so, whether your taking your newly purchased memento home to add to your Craig shrine or flush down the toilet makes no difference to her it's still money in her pocket!
And finally if we could buy up "all" the Craig swag, they'd just make more! On top of which, selling the stores out of Craig stuff would only make him the highest selling Bond of all time!

Re: POLL: What to do with DC Bond films when DC himself reti
Babs will still be making money off of DC Bonds for many years to come. Skyfall made sh1t load of money at the box office though Spectre took a beating. If that's the case, we'll give her money to just to humiliate the b1tch.
Re: POLL: What to do with DC Bond films when DC himself reti
I can't see the poll options on my phone, but I was thinking the same thing about buying Craig merchandise just to destroy it. Do you think Sony and EON care what you do with your Skyfall DVDs once you've bought them? They get the same amount of money either way.

The destroying part is just humiliate the b1tch. Besides, it's would be like Disco Demolition Night.Kristatos wrote:I can't see the poll options on my phone, but I was thinking the same thing about buying Craig merchandise just to destroy it.

If I wanted to humiliate someone, I wouldn't do it by giving them loads of my money.FormerBondFan wrote: The destroying part is just humiliate the b1tch.
And? Is that supposed to mean something to me? I mean, I'm vaguely aware of it as something that happened when I was 11, but it's hardly a cultural milestone for me. Looking on Wikipedia, it seems to be regarded as a spectacular failure, so I'm not sure why replicating it is supposed to be a good idea.FormerBondFan wrote: Besides, it's would be like Disco Demolition Night.

I looked at it last night on my PC. The options were to buy a load of merchandise in order to destroy it, or to do nothing.

I would push they be sold a separate set outside the normal Bond cannon. However you could get you hand on the masters

Re: POLL: What to do with DC Bond films when DC himself reti
I think I'm staying out of this one, so I'll just say you could always buy second hand Craig stuff to do it.

Hopefully Babs will retire with him, so some proper Bond producers can get involved and release the new film, Bond 21.
Re: POLL: What to do with DC Bond films when DC himself reti
That'd be nice, but I think there's about as much chance of it happening as there is of Vermin Supreme becoming president.derekpayne wrote:Hopefully Babs will retire with him, so some proper Bond producers can get involved and release the new film, Bond 21.

It would be nice if she would quietly retire letting her nephews take over, we were told around 2012 they wanted to hire a new Bond and take Bond a new direction for a new decade. They've been slowing introducing MGW's kids to the public and media but don't seem ready to put them up as the new faces of EON like Cubby did with Babs and MGW.
Unfortunately our dear friend Babs seems to have her hooks deeply in the series, they like to talk about what a control freak she is and how afraid the minions are of her. I don't think she'll give up control anytime in the near future.
Re: POLL: What to do with DC Bond films when DC himself reti
It's strange: she clearly doesn't like Bond films and gives the impression that she'd much rather be producing serious dramas, either on stage or screen. But she doesn't seem to want to give Bond to anyone else either.

She can't let go for various reasons:
If she did she would no longer be "anybody" in Hollywood, as it stands she's "Babzy Broccoli iron willed woman, master of EON, dragging chauvinistic James Bond kicking and screaming in to the 21st century".
Without that she's just "Barbara, hack producer whom turns everything she touches to crap, unless that something already had a rabid fan base, serious name recognition, and a multibillion dollar revenue stream.
