The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......

[Capt. Sir Dominic Flandry]

That's ok for you then, because you fancy Craig, remember...?

WRONG!!

Tell me Katied, have you ever fancied Craig? (careful how you answer now, as there could be evidence that may come back to haunt you...)

Also, do you think you will beat your record of 11 times at the cinema with QOS....?

There are many case studies of former religious cult members undergoing deprogramming. Welcome back Katie!

I think Thrice went to the same deprogramming school too.....

[stockslivevan]

Once a Craig fan, always a Craig fan Katied.

[katied]

I'll see QOS once.Begrudgingly.

[stockslivevan]

Are you at least hoping for a good time? Or are you like BJ now, convinced that "there is no hope with Craig"?

[katied]

I'm not hopeful.Sorry.The trailer does not bode well for the rest of QOS. *shrug*

[stockslivevan]

Do you think it is possible that QOS could end up being better than the teaser showed? Keep in mind, this is a teaser trailer so there's plenty of other things we have yet to see out of QOS.

The fanboy chorus: "Best Bond film EVAR!!!!"

[Capt. Sir Dominic Flandry]

On the subject of changing one's mind, have a browse though these quotes from MI6:


"Dalton and Brosnan are looking better as they get older."

"Is it me or am I the only one that enjoys LTK and DAD for what they are?

DAD to me is just a tribute, a ridiculous non-stop action Bond film that has lots of easter eggs and such. My only complaints are that it could have been just a simple spy thriller and that they could have used traditional stunts rather than CGI to "bring Bond into the 21st century" like those graphic designers were talking about in interviews (I cringed seeing Brosnan against a bluescreen), but despite those complaints I can still enjoy watching DAD for what it is: Dumb fun.

LTK is a dark different path from the other films. It's not better than TLD but it has certain things more memorable than TLD had like the villian and Bond girls. The villian was more close to those classic villians yet doesn't end up being. The Bond girls here were more tough and usually those are better than compared to Tanya Roberts (OMFG!!!). My complaints for this film is being Dalton's last film, main title theme and Michael Kamen's soundtrack.

Which one of them is better? Hard to say, they're both different films with different style. But I will tell you this: They are not dull like Tomorrow Never Dies."


Those quotes are by our own Stocksilvian, aka Makeshift Python

OMFG.That is all

[stockslivevan]

Yes, my newbie days. Glad to see some of my points still stand today (Tanya Roberts and Tomorrow Never Dies hating). Keep in mind, I never said I hated DAD from the moment I saw it, the bad taste just built up as the times went, especially after seeing finally seeing the early Connerys for the first time on DVD (TRUE BOND FILMS) Speaking of the old days, I remember not seeing every Bond film by that point (FYEO I clearly remember not seeing until much later). I'll give DAD this... it's marginally better than A VIEW TO A KILL.

But back to the teaser trailer... Katied,

Do you think it is possible that QOS could end up being better than the teaser showed? Keep in mind, this is a teaser trailer so there's plenty of other things we have yet to see out of QOS.

The fanboy chorus: "Best Bond film EVAR!!!!"

I never claimed that, I was just asking a question. But since you're a troll, I can understand why you're not engaged in debating.

[katied]

Apparently fanboys who have been part of a fandom longer than everyone else have more status than the "peon" fans

[stockslivevan]

Okay, let me try this one more time: It is a teaser trailer, meaning most of the content of QOS is still in the dark (Bond villain, Bond girl), but do you Katied believe in surprises? If so, would you be surprised if QOS turned out to be better than you thought from the teaser?

[katied]

It's not going to be.It's going to be derivative and boring and two hours of my life I'll never get back(read:Bourne lite )

So in other words, you've already made up your mind about a film haven't seen? Right. At least the anti-Craigs are more fair, you know, like real Bond fans instead of trolls.

[katied]

^The same could be said of fanboys who blindly love anything having to do with Bond and who p*iss on people who don't

[stockslivevan]

Why do you care so much about the "fanboys"?

[katied]

In Bond fandom-in any fandom-what they say seems to go,and anyone who isn't with them is a noob dewches

[stockslivevan]

Right, let's get back to topic, shall we?

What do you guys think is the best Bond film made so far?

My favorite is quite obvious:

[katied]

Goldfinger.
