LOL. Well this has been one of the out-there what if scenarios. Some fan fiction writer is probably hammering away at a keyboard right now.

Sounds like great advice, NicNac. I'm out.

I am seriously considering boycotting this particular thread as it does nothing for me. For instance, I was last on the boards yesterday afternoon and I find roughly 110 new posts that have amounted to, well, nothing but speculation, hand-wringing, …

Do you honestly go into an MI film looking for depth? I go for being entertained and at least not be insulted by the plot or storytelling, something recent Bond films haven't been particularly good at.

Fine line there, I guess as rip off denotes stolen or blatant copy. If a film can take something that's been done before and improve on it or not make me immediately roll my eyes at the nod to it then okay, I'm good to go with it. One could say F…

It's interesting people are kind of talking up the merits of FRWL vs. OHMSS. I love them both and that they're different types of Bond films makes them that much more appealing. Where was all this FRWL love when I was arguing for my enthusiasm of…

I'd rather hear different opinions and discuss from there and that's no problem here. What gets me is somebody saying something sucks with zero to back up that opinion. If there's one thing that plagues MI for me it's the constant traitor in the…

Hamlisch was on fire at time. Not only from The Way We Were; he did The Sting, another huge scorei in '73, and in '75 did the music for A Chorus Line, one of the biggest Broadway successes of all time and won both a Tony and Pulitzer Prize for it. …

I don't agree every MI film has tried to copy Bond. There are bound to be variations of stunts in all sorts of films. Bonds have done variations of earlier films over and over again for years and have borrowed from other films themselves, so I wo…

Re: the whole criticism of previous Bonds, some of us have stayed consistent in our views and opinions over the years. I was one - or at least it felt like it at the time - of the very few Dalton defenders, both during his tenure, afterward and t…

If there was a time when MI seemed to copy Bond it was in MI2, which seemed to borrow a lot from GE. The Nyah relationship was quite forced and seemed an attempt to make Hunt more like Bond and in the process made him less interesting. At least Juli…

I was fine with CR and QoS being mostly gadget-free. Who misses them when the story and action are good? OHMSS is another prime example. Again, if it's something that's helpful we haven't seen before and is in the realm of reality, then fine. Oth…

A couple of small details in GF I thought were interesting: On the side of a building in the teaser sequence when Bond changes out of his scuba suit and puts in the boutonniere is an advertisement for Pepsi. Another ad I noticed is in the pro …

Just make them practical or cutting edge we can't get commercially yet. Remember when Bond films did that? My least favorite case of a too-convenient gadget was YOLT when he runs across Osato's safe and just happens to have a mini safecracker in …

Some of the points brought up above just bring up more issues I have with the film. Saying none of the Bond plots hold up to close scrutiny is a true enough statement, but if GF is supposedly the best then by that criteria it just lumps it in wit…

Is it wrong, though, to not bow at the alter of GF? Since I was a young fan all I've heard was how it was the pinnacle of the series and I just cannot agree. Despite watching it countless times over the years to try and see if it changes my view, it…

I don't think Kronsteen was underused. He had just enough screen time to leave an impression without overstaying. I really like the way the screenplay has Kronsteen, Klebb and Blofeld in the early scenes and then they disappear for the bulk of th…

The Goodfellas snub was a disgrace. Scorsese routinely got screwed for so many years, I also think back to Ordinary People over Raging Bull. Thing is the Academy voting members were a largely older crowd, and they still get it wrong on so many occas…

Superhero movies are there and I can take or leave them. There may be oversaturation, but I think back to when I was a comic-mad kid in the '70s and all we had were the Incredible Hulk and Spider-Man television series and Captain America TV movies t…

At the time, MI3 was a fresh approach to the series, especially after the mess that was 2. And Abrams was hot off Lost and Alias, so he was a good choice then. A criticism of MI, both the TV version and movies, is that you don't get to know the c…
