Bond25 discussion here (which would be kept always as the current Bond production thread) and a future chat re Bond film produciton in new thread.
If it does NOT work, after a decent trial (a month maybe?) then we can change back. But I think it is really worth trying.
It keeps members able to have those future Bond discussions mainly in one thread, not just this one - and keeps this valuable thread for chat on current Bond film that is in production.
Plenty of other things to discuss in a thread like that, of course.
Thats why I said, it could ne merged. Bit even if not, what harm would it do? None.
As far as this thread goes, as I mentioned earlier, there really is nothing pertaining to 'production' to discuss unless I am mistaken. Once there is, I'm sure we'll all start to focus on that.
For the time being (and to be frank, for the last 1600 pages or so), this thread has really been rampant speculation about all things Bond (future, current and past), which is perfectly fine with me until we get some 'meat on the bone' regarding B25. I don't think that will happen until the end of the year.
In the meanwhile, if we get some B25 actor or plot rumours from decent sources (rather than physical trainers or redditers), I'm sure we'll focus on that for a few pages, as is natural. Then we will digress, again as natural on a catch all speculation thread (which is the purpose this thread is serving in lieu of hard data).
I don't understand the need to merge a Bond Actor thread with a general future speculation thread. That doesn't make any sense whatsoever to me.
If the mods insist on keeping this thread (which I want kept just cleaned up)- I mean not give people one solid future Bond thread then can you all please, pretty please, direct all off topic (non current Bond 25 production) discussion to other threads immediately? Instead of letting it all pour out here. That would mean a change in policy for here, this thread. A lot of policing, so to speak. But my goal is keeping Bond25 production thread here on Bond 25. I think we agree on that. It is not currently working at all. So who would do the reminding, policing, getting off topics to be moved?
It's what we keep asking: please stop discussing post-Bond 25 stuff here and take it to the appropriate threads. It's simple, not much more we can do than direct it. Bond 25 production will begin before we know it and most of us won't want to discuss anything but that, so it'll die down eventually either way - in the meantime, let's keep this thread cleaned up by taking the topic of the future elsewhere.
Therefore, I guess all members need to remind each other (not just mods or thread original owner) to take off topic discussion elsewhere. That would need to be a reminder right off the bat, as soon as somebody goes off topic. And of course, a polite reminder - we all go off topic accidentally at times.
So far, this thread has stayed a mess of off topic chat. You (mods) must be as frustrated as people who come here to read about Bond25.
And what other 26 threads are there apart from the sctors thread?
1) The simplicity and helpfulness of having only ONE thread to recommend ("Oh that's off topic, please go to the Bond26 & Beyond thread") would have, I think, been a bit more effective.
2) Now we say as mods and others have always said, "Oh that's off topic, please go find the relevant thread) and nobody will be inclined to make that effort.
I am not inclined to figure out which particular thread the person should go to (I'd have to find the exact wording; Future Bond Actors or whatever) and the person commenting would not be inclined to go look at the list of thread topics to find it either.
So things will probably remain the same, cluttered here. If we can all help, perhaps this will change for the better.
I am not upset, I merely thought having one thread only to recommend would help members to actually do that (move discussion). As it remains, I think little effort will happen (that's just a natural reaction). I do like having a production thread on the current film.
As some of you know, I'm a teacher, and I've been accused in the past as coming off as a teacher too much. So sorry if I again come across like that - so let me close by saying that it will take all members here who enjoy this thread on current Bond film production to remind others to take their off topic chat elsewhere. Not just the mods. And the reminder needs to be polite and done asap when off topic chat appears.
As for the other threads, we have: Bond Actor, Bond Girl, Bond 25 And Beyond Directors, another Future Bond Directors thread, Bond Villain, Things You Want To Return, Things You Don't Want To Return, and that's just on the first page of the section. Plenty of threads for all varying types of discussion regarding the future.
Like I said, we shouldnt need to beg. Its the members forum after all.
Then questioning what existing threads could be used is irrelevant if providing a list didn't matter.
Back on topic.
No one forces you to come on this site
I saw that my info page at the Club had spiked!!
Why, @bondjames... are you trolling me? First time I've been trolled. It's kinda... neat...
If you need any more info on who I am, please pop by The Adelaide Club-- I'll give you a free session.
If you'd like to discuss my writing, please speak with my managers-- you can look up their contact info on imdbpro.
As for plot rumours for B25?? If you are talking about this Fitness Specialist, I don't think I've ever given any?... and I don't pretend to know any either. The only things I've ever repeated on here is via @ColonelSun. But, you know that, silly... If you'd like to chat with himself, please feel free to reach out.
If you'd like an autograph from the Colonel, He has paypal set up.
And lastly, since I'm a novice to all this trolling, if you want a late night booty call, you'll just hafta ask permission from my wife, and I'll see what mood I'm in.
Thanks for thinking of me, bondjames-- whomever you may be!
Sincerely,
Peter Sheldrick
Look, I'm terribly sorry if you thought I was trolling you but your remarks seem to be a bit negative and attack oriented. Quite unecessary. I have never trolled anyone on this site. It's not my style.
Thanks! Because now we can at least say simply, "See the list of off topic threads on the first page of this thread" - that really should help.
(kick sand, wanders away-- he'll always be in my heart...)
A thread that will reach 500 pages in a short time irrelevant? Oh well , logic rules.
@major. I have nothing against the next actors thread as the next one will come.
To me it still seems, the majority wants a 26 thread and dont get it.
Its absolutely stupid to say, if you have 26, why nor 27,28 etc. what has that to do with one another?
Ja, why? Because some people feel the need to talk 26 - in the 25 thread. That easy. Whats not to understand?
August 15. just a reminder.
I wanted to give 36 discussions a home - not gonna happen. So its up to you where to take them. Just not here - as ordered by the mod.
