The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......

Once we see Skyfall, we can see whether there's material for tech noms or not.

Let's hope they don't.

[FormerBondFan]

QoS was terrible from that point of view as well, but Skyfall may not be.

DC's third virus better be worse than QOS, worse enough to be forgotten that no people will want see this get nominated but the Razzies.

[FormerBondFan]

It will be what it is, a tech award for the people who worked on that part of the movie. And nothing else.

Even they do a good job, I don't want them to get nominated either because they're part of a DC Bond movie (or should I say a DC virus). As for a DC non-Bond movie, that's a different story. If the tech people got a nomination for their work for C&A, I wouldn't be bothered as much.

I don't think they stand a chance of getting a nom for that anyway, simply because generally speaking Bond movies don't scream "excellent" in that compartment either (save exceptions) but if they indeed do a good job, then I'm all for these people being rewarded for their good job.

Great or not, they don't deserve it. It's just like what my friend (this I already told you guys) said about Abrams Trek. He believes that no matter how great the techies did for the reboot, they don't deserve Oscar/Oscar nominations because they're of Abrams Trek and that Abrams himself destroyed Trek. Good thing DC's first two viruses were ignored. They were close of getting a nomination.

Anyway.....since it's too early to determine things like you said, why don't we all root for other hits to come? The Dark Knight Rises, The Hobbit, The Avengers, Twilight 4.2, Les Miserables.....you name them.

Skyfail is looking more and more like a train wreck, I doubt it will get any Nominations.
Unless the reason for all the cut backs is for the Green veg to make large payments to
many Academy members

I hope you're right 200%.

The Academy should ignore The Third Virus altogether, meaning NO nominations whatsoever. What they should do is sending in Big-G to destroy it by stepping on it.



Speaking of Big-G, he's getting an American reboot.

You are being unreasonable and unfair. And like I said, your friend is just dead wrong, seen as JJ Abrams did a GREAT job with Star Trek and his reboot is in fact taken as example of how to properly reboot a franchise. We're not children and we must not act as such. These are tech people who do their job. AND THIS IS NOT DC'S BOND. This is a Bond movie with hundreds of people involved. It's not DC's movie. HE is nothing but the main actor and nothing but a miscast person in a role. This is a movie like many action movies (Instead of being a proper James Bond movie) with tons of people working on it who will never interact with DC, and stay assured those who do special effects and the like truly don't. These are paid people who work with the TECHNICAL side of a movie, regardless of whoever the hell is the actor and they don't decide how the story develops, they do their job with special effects. If they do a good job there is NO WAY in hell they shouldn't be rewarded for it. The same applies to anyone else working on whatever movie. Taking it out on someone who works hard and isn't paid nearly as much as the big names for their job is incredibly unfair. If these people do a good job they sure deserve to get awards for it.

I don't think it will be anything sensational BUT if there's anything technical that is indeed sensational then the hard working and talented people who did it sure as hell deserve to be nominated. And that has got NOTHING to do with DC. OR BABS. NOTHING. It's their job and if they do it well, they must be rewarded. That's what any reasonable adult will say about the matter.

Maybe I am.

Don't get me wrong on this. I LOVE the Trek reboot although I still prefer original 10 Trek films, particularly first First Contact. That friend of mine reacts to the Trek reboot the same way we react to the DC's Bond, and I understand how he feels. As for our side, we love the Trek reboot, which is a great example of a great prequel/reboot like you said.

If they do a good job there is NO WAY in hell they shouldn't be rewarded for it. The same applies to anyone else working on whatever movie. Taking it out on someone who works hard and isn't paid nearly as much as the big names for their job is incredibly unfair. If these people do a good job they sure deserve to get awards for it.

This should not be the case for DC Bond films. Why? They're like a bunch of Dolores Umbriges.....those who are working with the Death Eaters indirectly. Good thing neither CR nor QOS got rewarded on the techies side of the Oscars. They got BAFTA nominations, but I can give them that. If DC's third virus got a BAFTA nod on the techies side, I can give them that. Afterall, Bond is English, and let the UKers enjoy them. In fact, I really don't care much if the techies get nominated by the Cesar Awards or any other non-US awards for their work on DC's third virus. But here in the US, it's a different story, and all the attention should go to movies (this includes the tech stuff) like The Dark Knight Rises, The Hobbit, The Avengers, The Hunger Games, Les Miserables, World War Z, Ice Age 4, Madagascar 3, Wreck-It Ralph, Battleship, John Carter, The Bourne Legacy, ANYTHING BUT DC's third virus.

If we're done here, let's move on, and I don't want to talk anymore about this. In fact, I don't want to see anymore post here featuring articles or quotes that mention The Third Virus' potential getting Oscar nominations (especially on the techie side), which it does not happen. And whatever more you want to say to me on this whole issue of the techies guy getting nominated, I don't want to hear it unless the fact is that The Third Virus won't get any nominations from Oscars (not even technical side) whatsoever, considering it's becoming a train-wreck everyday like Thunderpussy said.

Anyway, let's change the subject, shall we? I would rather prefer that we discuss things on The Dark Knight Rises or the Godzilla reboot, which should be very promising compare to the Bond reboot.

[bjmdds]

Another Godzilla FBF? Didn't they learn their lesson with Broderick's?

That was godawful. Kinda excited for Broderick's Ferris Bueller Superbowl ad though!

I think this Godzilla won't be anything like Broderick's.

I do not care for the Trek reboot however if CR had been 1/10 as careful as JJ Abrams was I do not think I would be here. Probably would be a here (DCinB) to talk about.

Honestly there is not much we can do to stop any awards process if there are any (Unless FBF has $60 million dollars he can give us). I have a feeling with the way the news is Mendes will be too heavy handed in his approach and not having Arnold may be a problem, big time. Will they even use the Bond them, I have doubts. Then again it is fair since they are not making Bond movies any more.

But we can only hope The Third Virus is bad enough to receive no nominations but the worse kind.

I hope it's going to be as bad as Jaws: The Revenge in almost every way.

I agree with everything Ale said. It's one thing having a grudge for the actor chosen to play Bond, it's another entirely for you to have a beef with any technical film crew involved with the movie. They are just doing a job, paying the rent, etc. and if the music score happens to be Oscar worthy, or the DOP or editing happens to be worthy of an Oscar nomination - SO WHAT!!!

Sometimes FBF, you give the folks here a bad name with these spolit kid tantrums. Having an issue with Craig and the producers - yes fine. Having an issue with anyone remotely connected to the film, then I'm sorry pal but it looks like you have the issues - and serious ones at that!

Check out the new official released photo today from EON. Looks like they are on a serious budget, with no shavers allowed for Craig, and a poor barber's to clip Craig's hair into a military crew cut - http://www.filmnav.co.uk/2012/02/01/fir ... -released/

Do they do skyfall candyfloss .

I wouldn't be surprised if that ends up being qs headquarters in bond 23 at this rate (no enemy would suspect bond hiding out in an icecream van.

I wonder if that's part of the plot for bond 23 , afater old m retires, new m takes over and makes some drastic changes, m bring in bond and informs him that they have to cut his hours down to part time because of cuts, enraged bond manages to get the next best thing...a job working in an icecream van, however bond manages to scare away a few child customers because they said he looks like a creepy hobgoblin with his evil stare of nothingness, his boss gives him one more chance and it's at this point bond realises if he doesn't smile they won't pay him..bond tries to smile but that scares the kids even more, bond is then relegated to work in the back of the van whilst someone else takes over the front, bond eventually gets into routine but later that day an evil corporation called evil icecreams are us lower their prices on icecream, enraged bond uses his license to kill (even though it expired last tuesday and bond forgot to renew it) and went after the evil dreaded company selling their icecreams for 10p less, motioning his last words the boss of the icecream place said the sky will fall.

Bond then took it to heart, decided to hide in a bomb shelter, eventually went mad, played with puppets, dressed in drag (oh wait he already did that a ) and lived happily ever after.

Bond wont return becuse he goes by a new name, bondella, so infact bondella will return in license to drag: for your disturbed people only, bond couldn't use a gun barrel because they didn't have any so used a toilet roll instead to try and shoot a gun through it but bond forgot to bring the gun with him so he just cried through it instead .

Sweeney, that picture of DC.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s05d-WalRMU ......worse than I could have imagined and it relates to Mendes and his character development BS. You cannot make this stuff up. Just look at that "quilled mug" and tell me what the heck is Eon thinking? This film might be worse than QOS and that says a lot. Disgraceful image. Fiennes M more handsome than Bond Compare that picture to this one: http://towleroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83 ... 970c-800wi Tell me which one is a fun Bond and which one requires a bath

Another godzilla reboot, let it die hollywood please what's the next one gonna be produced by Michael I killed transformers Bay?, it's bad enough hollywood are doing a live action film of voltron (on earth ), the whole premise is a group of people are stuck on an alien planet or exploring the galaxy and reawaken voltron and hollywood has to use complicated designs for transforming robots instead of the simple designs from the series and make it stupid.
