Absolutely.
There's quite a big list of stuff they need to fix but Bond wearing suits that look like they've been shrunk in the wash certainly belongs on it.
I imagine they had to do about 6 takes of the moment when he lands on the sofa in the SP PTS as he kept bursting the buttons on his jacket.
At least we now know where the $300 million budget was spent.
300 million buttons.
I do own suits that are tight fit as well, that's fashion at the moment people.
If you have the body for it, it looks good. And even if they are tight, no buttons burst.
Craig has never looked better than in Spectre. The clothes he is wearing are spectacularly beautiful [-(
I would tend to agree, but that's a small bar to clear and the SP look just barely cleared it.
He didn't look good in either film, though.
I personally don't mind the tight suits, if you have the muscles to Show for, but practical it certainly isn't
But he probably Sees himself as one
Seriously. I've never gotten all this complaining about Craig's suits. He's played Bond as a vicious killer, not a fashion icon.
SF's clothes will probably date the film the worst. Much in the way Tim's baggy suits sans tie date LTK. Pierce looked fairly timeless in all his films -although you don't see many people sporting his GoldenEye hair these days. I can say I certainly prefer his overcoats to Craig's. I love the navy coat he wears at the St Petersburg airport.
Of course Fleming's Bond often always wore a single breast navy suit over a short sleeve shirt. I'm sure his suits were cut in 50s fashion.
One of the things that makes Bond unique is the fact that he's a man of action while also a man with very sophisticated tastes. This is part of the formula that cannot be altered.
Very sophisticated tastes aren't limited to overly tight suits. There is an eclectic range of stylish clothes for him to wear, without them looking ridiculous.
This is gonna be a long year or so.
There is a separate thread for that, folks.
But you said he's not a fashion icon implying that being so is incompatible with being a "vicious killer." Fact is, 007 IS a fashion icon whether you like it or not.
I personally don't, and I prefer something more timelessly classic. There's no accounting for tastes, but some looks stand the test of time, and other don't. The baggy looks from the 70's were an attempt to be a bit different, as were the big shoulder pads of the 80's. Neither are looked on all that favourably now & I suspect that the tight look will go the same way eventually.
Fine tailoring implies good fit & excellent materials first and foremost. For a spy, it shouldn't be too ostentatious either I would think, but be more under the radar (colours as well as style). Just my opinion.
I hate wearing ties ...I do but under duress ...much less a tight fitting suit.
Agreed. It makes very little sense. Both from a narrative perspective as well as a budgetary perspective. I'd have to imagine that those tighter suits tend to rip more during the action sequences than the more loose-fitting ones do.
I would watch that :)
Nicely done!
I've also made a modified poster for the next installment like this:
John Titor.
I think they should save him for the sequel.
