    Never thought I'd say this but where the hell is @Gustav?

    It turns out he was actually bang on the money - you are all, to coin a phrase, dumb asses.

    There is much to dislike in DAD, i'm surprised no one mentions the Bond stopping his heartbeat scene. Derek Flint territory, certainly not Bond. For me DAD is the worst in the series. Its unbeatable in that category!
    Pardon. Back on topic would be nice!

    Don’t blame you; it’s roughly tied with MR as my least favorite. I find things to like about them, but they are just the most flawed and weak overall.

    Well the statment being made several times here that at least DAD is not boring. I would say that for MR! Yes its silly, but it is entertaining.DAD is a bore because its just plain bad with nothing to recommend it!

    Whenever you find yourself on the same page as Gustav it's time to reassess your opinion. Just to give you some food for thought.

    Do you remember when Jinx and Bond meet, and she says "wow, there's a mouthful", as she looks down at Bond's tackle?
    Then later, she says "you're a big boy", and looks at his groin again?
    Why didn't someone involved with the movie say "hey, we've already done the Carry On style big cock joke once!"
    I know some people were disappointed in Spectre, but come on, Spectre is a universe away from that schoolboy stuff.

    By the way, is it true that Die Another Day is the only Purvis & Wade script that hadn't been polished by someone else?

    Those horrible double entendres were way worse than the invisible car.

    To be fair I don't remember him ever laying into the invisible car so for all we know he could be on your side of the argument.

    Given the choice of excising the invisible car or Jinx then I would go for the latter in a heartbeat.

    Can you open a thread for pineapples? For edible use and otherwise? Sort of an all-encompassing pineapple discussion forum. How do you take yours? On your pizza, in your sorbet, elsewhere?

    Q: "Bond, I've analyzed the pineapple ring. It can be traced back to your friend, Doctor No."

    Still very curious to see how closely connected Bond 25 will be to SP and the other previous Craig films. Director, actors, and story are the three things I'm most interested in learning about. Title would be great to get sooner than later as well.

    Hopefully minimal connection...you cant continue a soap opera every 4 years...its not Bond.

    Minimal connection would be good. IMO, worked great for SF.

    The trouble is the folks who are fully invested in this iteration's numerous trials and tribulations will want to know how the story ends for him, especially since it's his last. So some form of continuity is inevitable, I'm afraid.

    Definitely..i still see that as a stand alone Bond film,no matter what SP tried to cheaply insinuate.

    Alongside the expressed desire for a stand-alone film, there's the likelihood the producers will approach their ownership of SPECTRE the way they did acquiring the rights to CASINO ROYALE and doing the reboot.
    Meaning, play it out over time instead of in a single film.

    With that, surely they'll continue the homages that call back to films 1-20. Am I right, @QBranch?

    As long as it's not Manimal connection.

    That is correct! Discussions have been very fruitful.

    P.S. I want that shirt now!

    Officially I think that's true but they've tried to shift a lot of the blame onto Tamahori since then. To be fair a lot of the bad ideas were his but still, he didn't write it or come up with the story. They have to take a lot of the blame. As do Babs and MGW for signing off on all that stuff.

    I hate how Brosnan is one of the few brightspots in DAD and he got used as a scapegoat for them to distance themselves, while the people who wrote the film got to keep their jobs.

    Their Jinx script, which they wrote after DAD, is supposed to be awesome. Apparently they took some stuff from that into the CR script.

    I always assumed the Madagascar Rundown was taken from the Jinx script. Or if not that, maybe the Miami Airport Skyfleet incident?

    Something similar happened after Licence to Kill. Michael G. Wilson was the primary writer (the teaser trailer said "screenplay by Michael G. Wilson") while Richard Maibaum only worked on the plot. But when it was decided it was time for fresh blood, Maibaum was gone and Wilson stayed. Of course. Albert R. Broccoli wasn't going to say goodbye to his stepson and successor.

    @AlexanderWaverly I heard from a friend that there was a clash between Michael G. Wilson and Richard Maibaum, the former of whom called the latter a "has been". Is that true?
