It was not until I read an article on the upcoming FYEO and was glad to learn that EON was bringing Bond back to basics.
I went to see FYEO and loved it. It was a welcome relief after the silliness of the previous two films.
@body_my_body_my_life, how have you rated that film when it's still filming?
Pierce laughs at the tsunami surfing scene and Rosalind Pike comments on that riduculous invisble car.
Will you please go away, you irritating man?
Don't we all know better by now than to fall into the traps laid by these gushing, slobbering fanboys?
No more than differences in American accents are obvious to those from the UK; you are right, @Creasy47, as always, I might add. ;)
I worry for the world.
Balje has a better English translator ;)
Well, it's just we agree on a lot of things and great minds think alike!
True, though he speaks no Dutch.
"In vain is a net spread in the sight of a bird" and you know Sir Henry I'm too old a bird for that.
Why so?
Absolutely! I couldn't have said it better myself. One of the many reasons why I appreciate you being on the forums.
Thank you, kind sir. I reciprocate my appreciation of your being here, too.
Because I'm convinced we've been invaded by members of the "you can't fix stupid" website and am trying to keep a low profile.
Oh, I see. Trolls and other assorted vagabonds, then?
Haters use any excuse to spout their jealousy and hatred of Brosnan. Bond is not a one-man show.
Absolutely; look at Daniel Craig. Actually, don't. Pierce Brosnan did nothing wrong.
Good actors make bad lines work, but luckily I count Brosnan on one hand.
No, it's not; it's on the director, the editor, and possibly the costume designer.
...also, I'm curious as to how you could blame bad line delivery on a costume designer. When it comes down to it, that's usually on the actor. Stop being blind and refuting my points when you've no clue who I am or what I like. It's not a good way to make friends.
Also, as much as I love Brosnan, Craig is a truly phenomenal Bond, and I agree that he trumps Brosnan in quite a few categories, and I think if you are to praise Brosnan so much and hate on the others - especially Craig - you're going to find a lot of people taking distaste to you because of such harsh opinions with no willingness for a calm debate.
I need to read that interview from 2005! Is it online anywhere I wonder, @SirHenryLeeChaChing?
But this is an interview with Playboy from the December 2005 issue, note this is not the full thing, you'll have to hunt out the magazine for that.
Brosnan has just came across a little bitter and given his usual comments on Bond. Playboy follow with:
Playboy: Do we detect some bitterness?
Brosnan: It’s bloody frustrating that the f*****s pulled the rug when they did. It was like, “Come on, we’re family here. You talk about being a family. You know my late wife; you know my family now. Yet I get a call from my agents at five in the afternoon in the Bahamas, and I hear that you’ve shut down negotiations because you don’t know how, where or which way to go and that you’ll call me next Friday?” What can I say? It’s cold, it’s juvenile, and it shouldn’t be done like that, not after 10 years and four films.
Or this when asked about the films:
All the movies made money. Creatively, maybe, they could have been stronger, but they were Bond movies, and they advanced a certain degree out of the dolddrums where they had been. They were tricky to do. I never really felt as as though I nailed it. As soon as they put me into a suit and tie and gave me those lines of dialogue, I felt restricted. It was like the same old same old. I was doing Roger Moore doing Sean Connery doing George Lazenby. I felt as if I were doing a period piece dusted off. They never really took the risks they should have. It would have been great to light up and smoke cigarettes, for instance. It would have been great to have the killing a little more real and not wussed down. My boys watch the movies on DVD, so I see them from time to time. I see myself with nowhere to go, and it’s all rather bland.
Or this when asked about The Matador. He changes the topic back to Bond:
I would like to see this film be a glorious poke in the eye to certain parties and to be a success and have other glorious roles follow in it’s wake. When the f*****s try and hem you in with Bond, it’s great to come back with The Matador. It’s great to say, “F*** you, a*****e. F*** you who wouldn’t give me a job. F*** you who thought I was some wuss. F*** you, who thought I was a pretty boy. F*** you, who thought anything of me without even knowing me or giving me the chance. F*** you.” But when you go around with all that inside you all the time, you end up completely mangled so you have to let it go.
@Dragonpol, you, uhh, wanna give me a way to get into contact with him and make me the happiest person in the world? :-D
All parties are to blame and should have noticed and talked of all these errors far sooner.
