The melodrama point/discussion is interesting IMHO and it's a key decision to be made re the next movie. noun noun: melodrama; plural noun: melodramas 1. a sensational dramatic piece with exaggerated characters and exciting events intended t…

Interesting video, I don't agree with all of the points but, with so much focus on the stunts, it's good to discuss the script.....
-
"the general audience is stupid" I think we need a seperate thread re that claim
-
Fair points but, to keep on point, re the next Bond movie, box office is more important than portraying a Bond that the audience want to be (they have to go for a wider audience than that) plus , with respect to Horowitz, his view is not as importan…
-
I think we can see from his demenour and quotes that DC can be a grumpy old git (can't we all) and , for me, he works best as James Bond in this role. Skyfall proved that the wider audience embrace him in this mode. He owns these great lines ("not e…

I also got the bluray for Xmas and watched it last night. The ending is too long IMHO but there are little touches that I missed fist time. The car chase in Paris is just stunning and, having watched Specte recently, frankly, it's rather embarras…

Not sure if those outside the UK can access this but the first hour of this BBC chat show is about PC culture, "safe space", free speech and stand up comedy. I had to pause it twice to let the blood pressure come down but I got through it in the end…

@Pierce2Daniel IMHO McQuarrie paid the price re Fallout with the lack of cohesive story and previous installments were better written. If there is one area where the next Bond can beat MI all over is having a great, well written story. A classic …

IMHO , tonal consistency so the next movie can't really help

As the reality of Brexit (or some of it) becomes clear, it's interesting to take a certain topic and compare reality with the way the media covered it. So today, we had the news that UK consumers would have to pay around £6 admin fee (lasting 3 year…

I really hope that they have some amazing idea what to do with the character as the collective brains of this forum have come up with nothing that really works IMHO
-
Sorry if I misquoted you but my first point I hope still stands
-
I'm grasping at straws here but could it be that Swann herself is the new double O recruit/trainee? Sounds silly but who knows?
-
One of the issues with the debate is that people on both sides are making sweeping statements with no shred of evidence. "I don't think anyone really understood the what's/how's and when's of it all." So over 33 1/2 million voted and nobody un…
-
The issue is that so much has been done before. OHMMS and CR showed us what Bond looked like in love and what he looked like when he lost his love. SP was bereft of this, there is zero emotion and zero chemistry. So, I dont think the audiance wil…
-
Well, Blofeld did not plan for Bond to escape at that point (and therefore did not plan the injury) but seeing him escape with Swann told him everything re how he had duped Bond, also, at the end, we never see Blofeld actually capture Swann in or…
-
I think I will have to watch SP again and see if it could really work. We would have to see that that the whole climax in the blown up building was a setup and Blofeld only blew it up after he knew Swann was clear and it was a set up to test Bond an…
-
If it wasn't leaked, you could have a great scene where Swann had Bond over a barrel and gives him some great speech about how woman had always been his weakness and Vespa proved that his vision became fogged by sex appeal/love etc etc and then a gr…
-
How about a twist on a twist and that Bond has sussed that Swann is a SP agent and going along with it. When Bond collects the car at the end of SP, he ensures that the tracker etc is working as he knows that he will be in danger and he has tipped o…

Corbyn has been very very passive throughout Brexit. Nobody really seems to know their stance/policy , it seems to change with the wind
-
It's something that the media don't seem to discuss but many more MPs seem to be career politicians whose sole aim is to climb the greasy pole rather than live a full life and commit to a politcal vision. Add to that, the media training and soc…
-
it's just a horrible mess, she should never have been elected as leader, the party went for an easy option when choosing her, a compromise that upset the least number of MPs and someone who the grassroot, cucumber sandwich, more tea vicar? brigade l…
-
May seems to be effectively holding the nation to ransom. Insisting that we will leave, insisting that her deal is the only deal and "running down the clock" so our options become more and more narrow and the situation more and more desperate. I …

@Mendes4Lyfe It's like other things in life. There are times when something can be salvaged and times when you just walk away. I think this decision could be crucial to the success of the next movie. Why try to salvage something when you can start a…
-
It's not IMHO about her as an actress or the character (the character can change, we could discover something in the closet) It shows that they are not going for a 100% standalone story and, therefore, the bagage from SP is not being left behind.
-
Maybe not, it could require a commons vote and many Con MPs want to vote tomorrow
-
A character's death only means anything to the audience if they have an emotioal connection with the character. Tracy, Vesper and M are the obvious examples and they all achieve what they want (in loads IMHO). Sorry to say I just cant see this happ…
-
One of the weaknesses for me with SP was the complete lack of chemistry between Seydoux and DC. I'm not sure what a new director can do about this as some partnerships "fizz" on screen (we saw it in CR) and some don't.
-
@DarthDimi Ten years is too short a time period to judge IMHO, give it one hundred and only then will people be able to look back and make a fair judgement on whether the 52% made a good call and, even then, it may be unclear.
-
You can bet that if it was the other way around: Remain - status quo 30 Remain - push for change - 30 Leave - no deal 35 (winners) Remainers would NOT be happy and demand a third vote, it works both ways. A child can understand 48/52.…
