The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......

News regarding to William Boyd's bland and uninteresting novel Solo

Then, read this interesting article by HMSS Weblog.

I think the HMSS link is for all posts made today, Aug. 28. A second post was made after the one about Solo.

Here's the link to today's HMSS post about Solo and the real-life war that part of Solo's plot is based on:

Yes, I know. Zanzarim, what the hell is this? It's all ripped off from today's subjects. Now, even a 4 year old kid knows that isn't Bond. This is a weak political conspiracy, not excitement. If anyone wants an exciting political conspiracy with loads of escapism, may I remind you Project Babylon back in the early 1990s during the gulf war? Yes, realism? That's a real-life WMD. That is real. Why not use it as the mcguffin of the plot?!

Daniel Craig says he wants some of the old irony back to the series... Yeah, right...

1-Follow up to Sk-Awful.
2-Written by John Logan (emoist mish mash storyline)
3-Directed by Sam Mendes (to be directed)
4-So-called dark-toned character driven story.
5-Exploring fear and inconfident measures in the character
6-Emoism all over the place.

and they expect me to believe their balderdash? No thanks!

Old irony back or not, it doesn't matter. Bond is done. He's dead but worse than dead as he is now a zombie on steroids who is VERY VERY VERY in devouring the general public (especially the younger audience who grew up during the Brosnan era). In fact, the classic element has been infected by DC thanks to Skyfall's nonsensical success and recognition.

Bond is done for. He's a history. Arguing about it won't bring him back.

And it's a waste of time hoping that the classic Bond actor will return.

There are no hopes, at least not for me. They ballsed it up since 2006 all because of Barbara Broccoli. And that's why Bond is just a subject to low-life ignorant scums.

Bond is the thing in the past. November Man is what we rebels need to put our eyes on.

[John P. Drake]

Exactly, November Man, The Coup, and I pray we should find a way to cast Pierce in RED 3. That's all I want. But I also want to see Pierce cast in The Secret Service, and put Colin Firth out of it, because it's not his thing.

[FormerBondFan]

And EX4. If Sly wants a Bond, there's Pierce. Does Pierce need EX? No. Does EX needs Pierce? No. If there's a choice between Pierce and DC, who would you choose? We all know the answer, which is the former.

You had better hope Brosnan is not cast as Alfred replacing Dalton by those morons.

[The Sweeney]

What kind of idiocy is this? Dalton is NOT Alfred nor should he be in this film. I would not spend a penny on this garbage with Cranston as Luther as well. FBF, don't hold your breath trying to hope this becomes an Avengers type of film. Drakester, what say yee? Do we abandon ship on this one?

I'll be abandoning this ship. I was utterly disgusted with MoS, and I feel this next film will be even worse.

I am really disillusioned with Hollywood films right now.

He's better off in Marvel films.

[Capt. Sir Dominic Flandry]

I'm looking forward to the next Batman movie - so there,

It's good that some people here hate it as it means there is more room in the cinema for me. Which is great news for me as last time I went to a movie BJMDDS threw popcorn at me and The Sweeney was making lots of noise sucking on Murray Mints.

Sweene, you make sense here. The sequel might turn out to be a comical farce, with Affleck in the role, and people laughing at a former Bond actor lowering himself to be a butler for a moronic Bat Man. Affleck will be ridiculed in his portrayal of Batman. They had it right on the money with Bale........now this drek FBF, don't expect a warm reception for this Cavill/Affleck/Dalton flick. It might turn out to be another NSNA joke MP, what say yee?

At least it wasn't buttered and messy.

Just when you all thought Bond could not get any worse with the pugilistic drone in the role: "Daniel Craig wants to lighten up Bond 24....The most recent 007 blockbuster culminated with Daniel Craig’s Bond transforming into an agent more reminiscent of the Bond played by Roger Moore, who was a master of the perfectly timed one-liner. Craig's recent comments suggest he may take this rebirth even further in the new film, moving away from his own gritty depiction of 007. Craig told entertainment website Vulture that he 'wanted to see more dry humour in the next film' , after the dark tone of Skyfall was briefly lightened by humorous moments, such as Bond straightening his cuffs despite leaping on top of a train in pursuit of a killer. Craig described the tone of Bond 24, which he said would likely avoid some of the series' older, campier trappings. "Hopefully we'll reclaim some of the old irony," Craig said, "and make sure it doesn’t become pastiche. I can't do shtick, I'm not very good at it. Unless it kind of suddenly makes sense. Does that make sense? I sometimes wish I hammed it up more, but I just can't do it very well, so I don't do it."

Joss Whedon has chosen someone few people likely expected to play the main villain in Avengers: Age of Ultron. James Spader, who became a sensation thanks to Steven Soderbergh’s debut feature Sex, Lies, and Videotape, and who has played roles in a diverse slate of projects in film (Secretary, Lincoln) and television (Boston Legal, The Practice), will play the character. Official info is below.

This will surprise a lot of people, I think. Thanks to the teases that link the creation of the character to Tony Stark, many assumed that Ultron, a mad artificial intelligence housed in an adamantium robotic body, would be an evolution of the Jarvis AI voiced by Paul Bettany in the three Iron Man movies and The Avengers. That’s obviously not what’s going on, and at this point we’ll all have to start coming up with new theories about just what Spader’s role will entail.

It’s a wild casting choice, but at this point we can almost count on Marvel and Whedon for some surprises. They’re not locked into any established lists when it comes to casting, that’s for sure. (It’s worth mentioning, too, if perhaps not particularly important, that Spader and Robert Downey, Jr. worked together decades ago on Less Than Zero.)

http://images3.mtv.com/uri/mgid:uma:con ... height=211 Why cast Spader as Ultron? http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/i/2013/08/29 ... Ultron.jpg Hollywood has lost their minds. First Affleck, now this? He should play the Tin Man in an Oz remake on Broadway, not be the focus of a superhero film

So you're taking that chance to see the Bat vs Supes? If so, welcome to the club.

And no BJ, I'm not expecting any warm reception on the crossover.

[kater23]

I don't hate Affleck..My worry is Matt Daaaaaaaaaaaaamon may get involved.


But in all seriousness.. I haven't seen Man Of Steel, haven't seen either of the Nolan Batmans, and I won't see this one.
