I didn't even think of that aspect, Blowfeld! Makes it all the more disturbing.

Rant 19

Babs Time to Give Up the Ghost

Barbra Broccoli has a love/hate relationship with the James Bond Character. She loves the fact her family has built an empire on the franchise giving her everything her heart desires, yet as a feminist and badge carrying member of the PC police she hates everything Bond represents.

Being caught in this paradigm she doesn’t know how to respond, she can’t stop making Bond films as that would kill her golden goose, however she can’t bring herself to continue making these films in the same tradition as her father as that would make her sick. It would also cost her some invitations to Hollywood parties.

It seems once Barbra got the rights to Casino Royal she felt she could break off the leash as it were and start weaning Bond off the “formula”. CR was devoid of most Bond elements we’ve come to expect and enjoy. We were told this was because we’re witnessing Bond become “Bond”; this was an implied promise that this was a one off and once the “Bond theme” played over the credits Bond would be back in business. Then QOS came along and we were told this film starts 15 minutes after CR ends. So once again we’re watching Bond find himself so we don’t get any Bond elements. After some moderate success with these films Barbra feels confident enough to put Bond in drag for her afore mentioned PSA. By the time SF comes out Bond is alluding to homosexual experimentation.

This is Barbra’s attempt to take Bond down a few pegs thus bringing him up to par with her beliefs. Barbra is definitely holding on too tight, my question is why? It’s quite obvious she dislikes the character and everything Fleming and her father made him stand for. If she doesn’t like making Bond, why not stop involving yourself. George Lucas sold off Star Wars once he realized he didn’t have the passion for it. I certainly don’t recommend Barbra sell off Bond, I know I wouldn’t he’s a cash cow, and Barbra doesn't have the money or other projects George has.

So what then? To use a sport’s analogy bring in a “General Manager”. Sports team owners don’t run the operations of the team, they bring in experts who have the passion and the know how to put the best product on the field. Barbra needs to do just that, bring in someone who has the passion for Bond to put the best product on the screen. This frees up Barbra to follow her passions whatever they may be. She has a whole production company at her finger tips to make whatever films her little heart desires.


If she must make spy thrillers why not start a new series. Her new hero can be a cross dressing, transsexual, named Jane Bonbourne who works for MI69 and call it On Hermaphrodite’s Secret Service if that’s what she wants and no one would bat an eye. It’s a real win-win situation. We get a classic Bond and she gets all the money, as well as the critical acclaim for being “avaunt-garde” and “forward thinking” best of all without besmirching the name of James Bond.

A Change of Tack

Your regularly scheduled rant has been preempted for the following.

As many of you may know Thursday is Thanksgiving here in the States. It also marks the official beginning of the Christmas holiday season. So with that in mind I thought I’d switch things up a bit and list a few things the current guard at EON have done that I am actually thankful for.

First I’m thankful to them for introducing me to the One and Only Ocean Club in the Bahamas. This was the location used in Casino Royal where Craig meets Demetrius and wins his DB5. I spent my honeymoon there and I must say if you have the means it must be experienced!

Second I enjoyed the casual clothing Craig wore in both CR and QOS. The polo shirts looked good and I like the cardigan with dress shirt Craig wore at Mathis’ villa.

Third and somewhat facetiously the Craig movies have given me a new appreciation for earlier Bond films I enjoyed somewhat less than others. I used to think Lazenby was “the worst Bond” however Craig has made George look infinitely better than I had viewed him before!

So those are some of the things I am thankful for how about you? What if anything have you begrudgingly enjoyed from EON over the last decade?

I now return you to your regularly scheduled rant.

I've enjoyed nothing from Eon and Craig who have tarnished the whole Bond movie series with their mixture of grit, lemon and pretentiousness.

Eon caused the creation of this forum - so I have enjoyed the company of my DCINB comrades. :D :cheers:

That's the beauty of my plan Capt. She still gets the proceeds of Bond she even gets to plaster her name all over it if she wishes but leaves the actual film making to Bond fans. The new series would be her "creative outlet" for "passion projects" and "indie films"!

Yesh, it's Thanksgiving in the States, so I for one am very thankful for the creation of DCINB, and strange huzzah for the Babs, without whom.... And I agree with DB III ... if only the Babs would relinquish her stranglehold for a property she has no great love for .... she would have her cash cow and hopefully there is a real Bond fan/filmmaker in the wings who can bring back the unique character, thrills and ambiance of the best of the originals. And, the new guys would have to pay lotz of attention to finding the next John Barry! (I'm thinking in exclamation points, these days, reminiscing OHMSS! I think that and YOLT has the most points!) :cake:

I got a good laugh from On hermaphrodite's secret service!

I too have very much liked that they've given Bond more appropriate clothing in the Craig movies. In Pierce's era it bordered on parody how Bond wore a suit in completey inappropriate situations. I know pierce looks great in them.

Rant 20

I Don’t Know What Craig Is Smoking…



I found this snippet of an interview Craig gave in 2012 leading up to the premiere of Skyfall. Here is a link so you can read it in the context I found it.

http://www.mi6-hq.com/sections/articles ... =&id=03796

Standard font are the original words my commentary is in bold. Oh and I censored the curse words, cause in 4 paragraphs Craig managed to drop just as many F bombs, you stay classy Dan!



How much of 'Skyfall' was a reaction to 'Quantum of Solace' or 'Casino Royale'?

I am very, very keen that you can't make films in a reactionary way. You can't do it! (Funny you say that Dan as you contradict yourself only one paragraph below when you say “We had to destroy the myth because Mike Myers… MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DO THE GAGS.” Looks to me you just made films in a reactionary way!)There has been a lot of talk, from the beginning from 'Casino' into 'Quantum' because everyone has gone, "Where's the 'Bondness'? Where's all the old stuff?"(Yeah where is it?) I was given this chance by Barbara and Michael, which is the first of the books, and the conceit (shouldn’t this be consensus?) is we began again, but I couldn't come in and pretend to be James Bond,(really? Isn’t that the point of acting) because everyone knows Bond as Pierce or Roger or Timothy or Sean.(I got bad news for you Dan most of us still do) I couldn't come in and go, "Hmm, Martini," or whatever.(yes I have so much respect for the character I mock one of the series’ most iconic lines) It's not who I am, and how I kind of approach things.(sure because you’re such a professional actor, what else have you been in again?)

The truth of it is that I always had this plan in my head is that we got to make them and begin them again and bring all that back in, but it had to happen the way it did.(I see, so YOU are the mastermind at EON, Barbra and M.G.W. are just your lackeys) I can't see it happening any other way.(I can) We had to destroy the myth because Mike Myers f@cked us - I am a huge Mike Myers fan, so don't get me wrong - but he kind of f@cked us; made it impossible to do the gags.(again not reactionary!) What I am proudest of in Skyfall is the lightness of touch we've been able to bring back into it (yes so light we couldn’t even feel it) but not lose the drama and the action.(yeah you didn’t lose it cause it never was there to begin with)



You captured a lot of the Fleming energy from the novels of The Man With The Golden Gun and You Only Live Twice in 'Skyfall',(he did?) was that a conscious decision?

We always go back to Fleming. (My favorite EON cop out, no matter what they’re trying to justify they just say it was an attempt to go “back to Fleming”) We just do it, you have to. I mean, the darkness, the conflict...(the brooding, the lack of fun, the ridiculous plot holes…) His wife thought they were smut, but smut that got them a lovely place in Jamaica.(yes Dan that is the only redeeming factor to Fleming’s works) He was conflicted. I like that. He wanted to make a spy, after his war experience, and the knowledge of these brave men who had gone to battle - and he'd sent a few to battle, probably to their deaths, making heroes out of them. You know, the despondency of coming out of the '50s. He set the tone of the '60s. In a way his stories had nowhere else to go until they were made into films.(wait, he set the tone of an entire decade but his works meant nothing until they became films?) They literally changed the face of movie making in the '60s. The legacy is incredible.(yes it is, so why are you urinating all over it?)



Where does Bond go from here?

Who knows? I think we set a good tone,(you do?) I think we set a real tone,(you did?) but I am happy for f@cking exploding volcano lairs.(huh?) Obviously I am joking but what I love and what I really wanted to achieve with Skyfall was a level of fantasy,(yeah it’s pretty fantastic how people think this was a good film!) it's one of the less violent ones,(what?) there's less blood, and people aren't dying in a horrible way,(no, falling off a building, or getting shot in the head is almost like passing in your sleep after a long fulfilling life) and it feels like much more of a family movie,(yes between humping a woman up against a wall, abusing a former child sex slave, homoerotic dialogue and a depressing as all get out ending this one is practically a Disney film!) and they should be family movies.(really? You better tell that to your lackey Babs! She's stated how she "went back to Fleming" making the films "darker") I don't want to go ludicrous and we've got to keep them in reality,(we do? I thought the point of cinema, especially action adventure films, was to escape reality?) but Christ almighty, the world's f@cking weird and there's plenty we can start mining and taking out. If Blofeld turned up again, it wouldn't be a bad thing.(no it wouldn’t, but it would the way I’m sure you’d do it!)

I think that's the first time I've heard a Craig Bond film being described as family friendly. That's usually what most people say about Moore's Bond films.

Anyway, I've said before that the Austin Powers films are stupid parodies that weren't worth throwing away forty years for. There have been various Bond parodies long before Austin Powers, so Craig and the producers need to get over it. Popular films and television series get parodied all the time, it's been like that for years. If you don't want to be parodied, then you'll have to make the series so niche to the point where no one cares.

How about a rant on how since the reboot we now have a new alternate Bond universe. So for (a fictional) example, the next Craig film will tell us more about Mr Beakers who appeared in QOS.

Rant 21

SPECulation and ConjecTuRE or Spec-Tre (pun intended)

First off I want to emphasize of course this is all as the title says speculation based on leaked emails concerning a rough draft of the script made months ago.

However, knowing what we know about EON and the facts confirmed in the official press releases it is almost certain this is what will be in the finished product and I will include why I think so.

Thanks to John P. Drake for posting a list of “spoilers” on another thread which I am have borrowed from here as this thing is moving all too fast for me to keep up with.


All these events since the 2006 reboot are linked to each other, done to "hurt" Bond especially on purpose, and the man responsible for this is Franz Oberhauser, the son of Hans Oberhauser from Bond’s childhood, who had to prefer Bond as his "son" over his actual one (Franz), so that the former grows up in disgust and decides to ruin Bond’s life like hell.
I believe this is in fact the actual plot of the film. The eternal optimist in me was indeed hoping Hans Oberhauser was just a red herring to throw off the Blofeld trail, however after some thought (and to add confirmation the hacked info) I’ve come to the realization this was no ruse. Blofeld is present. Albeit in a FRWL/TB sort of way, over the shoulder, cat on a lap, etc. Christoph Waltz is far too respected an actor (read expensive) to be in a recurring role such as Blofeld. Which now begs the question of what are they thinking? This has to be the most asinine plot of any movie, especially one in a series that has supposedly become so “gritty” and “realistic”. I really wish Babs and MGW would stop playing out their Freudian family drama on the pages of their Bond scripts. If I want a lesson on Pop Psychology I’ll take a class at the local University.

M, Q, and Moneypenny are in the field. This is the problem when you cast well-known actors in ancillary roles. They won’t be satisfied playing the character as intended. Fiennes will not be satisfied with five minutes of screen time in which he sits behind a desk and sends Bond off to do his job. The same goes for Whishaw and Harris who will want a bigger part in the action rather than just fill their character’s obligations. So the “Bond team road show” continues.

Monica Bellucci plays a Lesbian baddie, a la Klebb, Pussy Galore, etc. This rings incredibly true as Lesbians are so Avant Gard! _.///

MI6 is attacked, although not in a physical way. MI6 must justify their existence again just as in SF! I mean are we really doing this again so soon! How about using a little imagination already!

Tanner turns out to be a traitor, commits suicide. I am certain of this, as Rory Kinnear as Tanner is being paraded around with the rest of the principle cast. This is new as he has not been given such high profile treatment in the past. Also EON is scavenging the unused remnants of Octopussy with the inclusion of the Oberhauser name so that means Tanner will be the stand in for Maj. Smythe from that story who commits suicide rather than face the disgrace of his actions. So once again EON urinates on Fleming’s grave by dishonoring and killing off one of Bond’s staunchest literary allies.

Now a note on my take on Spectre’s whopping $300 mil. budget.

I know this is a ridiculous thought but a small part of me wants to believe Broccoli’s insistence to film on location has something to do with my SF rant in which I call her out for filming almost entirely on stage rather than taking us on an exotic world tour as is Bond tradition. So I begrudgingly admire her for that.

I believe the real reason the budget is so massive, is the employment of so many “super star” personnel behind the camera. Mendes, Van Hoytema, Newman to name a few. These people cost at least a third of this budget, and ironically hurt the final product. Bond films are at their best when helmed by a capable journeyman crew. Remember these are supposed to be light hearted, escapist fun. Not dour, depressing, emotional character studies.

When Craig was cast as Bond and his fans had to attack Brosnan, they called Brosnan a greedy asshole for asking for more money for another Bond after DAD (or maybe he did not ask for more money). It's ironic that Craig. Mendes etc are paid a forune for Bond now.

Don't mention it, Benny. Cheers. :cheers:

Now, if there could be a paragraph where the narration should speak the difference between spy stories and government guns with "epic" stories and backgrounds. I mean, the whole thing we've seen with Craig aren't even spy stories. I didn't know a spy should be an equivalent to a legendary figure like The Batman or Superman, whose parents left them with big legacies. Why not just make Bond a superhero in Nolan-esque aspect? Lol! The "sole protector of the Windsor Throne"? Lol! :lol:
