Quantum of Solace

[M_B]

Not yet but I've watched the trilogy about 5 times now and I cant remember the last time I watched a Bond movie. So if we're talking over the past 2 years, Bourne wins in terms of most watched and certainly most enjoyed.

 

Maybe so, but you're in a minority.

 

 

.... actually ignore that. Over the last 2 years then fair enough, but you'll eventually go back to Bond. We're all Bond whores really.

The books are better than the films (Fleming's ones are, at any rate - I've only read one by Gardner and it was awful). I think they should have taken Bond back to the fifties - forget all of the modern tech and show him how he was originally intended.

I understand where you're coming from there muchacho, but it just wouldn't have worked for so many reasons.

 

First of all, the very nature of Bond is that it goes on chronologically - it is the same character who has gone through all of the missions caught on screen and they all happen after the previous one. If they had gone back to the fifties, the series would be unnecessarily jilted.

 

Also, the producers will always strive to go as far as they can in terms of technology to keep us all watching - although this tactic has backfired, notably with the embarrassment which was Moonraker.

 

All of Fleming's original titles have been turned into films now anyway, so it gives the current producers wider scope to expand and bring Bond into the modern day.

 

The producers back in the sixties didn't make the most of the great storylines they had at their disposal - cold war, Cuban missile crisis etc. - I agree with that. But that shouldn't be a reason to take Bond back to those days.

I can see what you're saying, but they've set a precedent with Royale for disregarding earlier films - why not just rehash it totally?

[RedKnight]

Der-er der! Der-er-der-er-er!

[Brownie]

I loved the Bourne films, but James Bond rules, especially Casino Royale. Absolutely amazing film.

[Paul]

Bourne was the best thing that ever happened to Bond. And the casting of Daniel Craig was inspired. This looks ace and I can't wait to see it.

[Kopite]

I thought the Bourne films were pretty formulaic to be honest and wasn't that impressed by them.

 

(1) Bourne at peace

(2) Something happens

(3) Mysterious CIA/NSA man wants bourne dead

(4) stands in CCTV room sayig "get me her driving license now!"

(5) Foreign police force with funny sirens starts looking for him

( 6 ) Bourne and 'a bird' run away

(7) CIA man says 'activate the asset'

(8 ) A sniper wakes up in some hotel room

(9) Sniper and bourne have a fight, bourne stabs sniper with a pen

(10) Cia man's underling realises he's a shadester and has him arrested

(11) Bourne goes to live somewhere hot with his bird

 

"It's funny 'cos it's true."

 

Homer would kick both their butts. Look...

[dirty_sanchez]

He's still doing that ridiculous pout though like he's on the cover of Nuts magazine or something.

[Scott_M]

That does look really rather good.

[Sweeney287]

Saw it earlier and really looking forward to it.

[Section_31]

Really looking forward to this.

 

By the way, how tasty is Barbara Broccoli?

 

[RedKnight]

You mucky cunt.

[chrisbonnie]

see bond wont be drinking vodka Martinis in this film

 

Coca cola have paid 11 million squid for him to drink coke fucking Zero, what a complete pile of shite :telloff:

 

he`d still kick seven shades of shite out of that wimp Bourne though

[RedKnight]

Bond does love commercial sponsorship.

[chrisbonnie]

Bond does love commercial sponsorship.

 

 

the cars, clothes and jewellery are oen thing, but his fucking drink, whats he going to say now, "Coke Zero, im the designated super spy driver tonight"

[Section_31]

Is that a Rolex?

 

No, a Casio

 

It's beautiful

 

I know

[knivesout]

The Alicia Keys/Jack White theme. I'm sure I can hear a snippet of I am the Walrus in there.

^^^ fuck me pink, that's quite possibly the worst bond song I've ever heard.

[Scott_M]

Shite song

[Stu Monty]

I was really looking forward to hearing Jack White give some on a bond tune and have Keys doing some swooping vocals over it, I thought the idea was a good one...that is a really poor bond tune though.

 

It's no Chris Cornell creation that's for sure.

 

a7j93Bf-EyI

Great Bond tune. He got it.

 

And why are Bond tune so much better when you're watching a montage of running, punching and exploding stuff? They so are.

[Section_31]

Good one Monty, if that is in fact your real name, love that tune me. Prefer the film intro song better though, it's actually slightly different to the released version:
