The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......

[katied]

Is this supposed to be good news or bad? It still seems like they are going to hire another "Art House Director" which didn't work very well last time. My roommate said they should just hire the Director of GoldenEye and Casino Royale again, make him an offer so god he has to do it. Otherwise what is the point of just making more halfassed experiments that suck

Yeah,I've seen a lot of call to hire Martin Campbell again. They'd be lucky to get him anytime soon-he's very busy!

By far Campbell knows his Bond onions. Maybe, just maybe, they are saving him for Jackman's entrance in Bond 24?

If they want Jackman so desperately, why not bring him in for Bond 23...

Strange you should say this.Not 4 hours ago a Gypsy woman told me Virgo rising and a Sagittarius moon the house of Vegetables would be undone.The Albanian sewer worker shall return never more and the house of Jackman would intersect with the cards of Fleming in 2012.

Campbell is over rated.It isn't Campbell making a good Bond movies out of the junk given him it more like they get their s**t more together when they hire him.Seriously Campbell can make a half decent one movie time then make the most godawful piece of crap the next.Campbell isn't a savior he is a half decent director who needs to work with a better editor when he does do decent work.

That Mel Gibson movie that Martin Campbell directed looks awful.

[bjmdds]

Craig gone would look wonderful.

Craig gone would look wonderful.

And what about Babs gone?

[bjmdds]

Her too.

[katied]

I think Babs is in it for the long run.Unfortunately.

That too!

The younger audience are very arrogant these days.

An inordiant anount of them seem to have ADD/ADHD.They get distracted easily. The visual equivalent of shiny things(CGI for one) seems to help that.

I don't think it is brainwashing. It comes down to not caring. A younger audience not caring what kind of movies they watch. Although Quantum of Solace proves they, we, don't necessarily buy in to everything. The rep Quantum has is awful, universally. Sure it made some money but from what I read at those other Bond forums people expected it to break Casino Royale's back over its knee. It didn't do that.

Add to that it didn't exactly sell a lot of copies when it came out on DVD. It took forever to actually sell what would be considered a lot of DVD's. And by then it was on the sales rack.

[FormerBondFan]

Older fans tend to be logic when it comes to writing a movie review.

[Omega]

What did it sell? I don't know anyone who bought one or wanted one. If someone wanted the dvd it was on the torrents for months before the dvd came out.

I know there was something made over its first week numbers but also that the number were lower than Casino Royale. Nobody bothered to post any more bragging numbers in the weeks what followed. Did it actually sell a lot worldwide?

[katied]

The sales figures are bound to be screwy-for all the copies they sold at retail outlets, it seemed like there were plenty of them to be had for cheap(as cheap as a few bucks! ) at places like Amazon.

[Omega]

Well are the numbers available for England and Australia? Those were some of the bragging spots then nothing more was said. It seems like an agreed silence. A thin blue line. Who or what they think is being protected is beyond me.

If selling alot of movies means it is good or well liked then selling few or fewer has meaning as well.

Currently there are 110 copies of QOS available for $2.99 and up. .
