I'm not sure I can handle a Q that is younger/Hipster than Bond.

As in, from the most recent movie?

Wai Lin from Tomorrow Never Dies, just because I've seen it a hundred times (it always seems to be the one on TV). I think the girl from Die Another Day was Jinx, though that might have been a codename. I forget. I haven't seen the newer ones often enough to know who's in them.

For the villains, TND has Eliot Carver (again, seen it a million times) and The World is Not Enough had Renard (did he have a last name?) and I can't remember the guy(s) from Die Another Day because they probably had Korean names.


>>35483

These were probably all available technologies for just the military or rich people, or stuff that was on the fringe of availability and not very popular yet. Bond wasn't about being able to get things that nobody could, it was about getting things that FEW could.
>> No. 35490
I don't think Die Another Day or Moonraker were as bad as people think.

But I liked Halle Berry and I remember thinking Jaws' girlfriend was hilarious.
>> No. 35492
>>35490
Moonraker's only true problem was that it was a near perfect copy of The Spy Who Loved Me. Right down to the reused right hand villain, like there's a hiring agency for would be world conquerors that Jaws just reapplied to and was sent to Hugo Drax. Even with something as formulaic as Bond, particularly Rodger Moore Bond, you don't just literally make the same plot over and expect people to be distracted by the laser fight or the inflatable gondola to not make people turn their heads. I don't care if Star Wars made science fiction a big thing in 79, Ian Fleming wanted to make a film of Moonraker in the fifties - you could have easily waited a little bit longer to work on it more while you went with the original plan of filming For Your Eyes Only.

Die Another Day was just awful though.
>> No. 35500
>>35492

Wasn't Die Another Day kinda like Goldeneye all over again? It reminded me of it, in that the basic plot was: "The bad guy, who is an ex-national of the country he's about to take indirect revenge on, has control of an AWESOME DEATH SATELLITE that he's going to use to get LOTS OF MONEY and James Bond tries to stop it because he can't help but get his nose stuck into that sort of business. Some chicks get in the way and are rescued. Some villains and mooks get hoist by their own petard in the process."

Of course, this is the premise of EVERY Bond movie (except replace "death satellite" with some other plot device and replace "make lots of money" with something equally "evil"), so I guess it can't be helped.

I'm looking forward to this one (although I still haven't seen Quantum of Solace yet, and I haven't seen Casino Royale since it was in theatres).

I don't think I'm ready for Craig to leave, if he really is leaving, but if he really is being replaced by Idris Elba, I'm all for it. I loved Luther, and I've always subscribed to the theory that James Bond is a codename for a bunch of different men, so I don't care if James suddenly becomes a different ethnicity. And he has one hell of a sexy voice (although so does Craig- weirdly enough, I found him sexier in different roles where he wasn't playing Bond).
>> No. 35713
>>35709
Craig is just absurdly sexy in Girl With a Dragon Tattoo. I think its his clothes+glasses. And so is Idris Elba (er, not in GWaDT just in general). He was even pretty fine in Prometheus.
>> No. 35715
>>35713
I haven't seen either of those yet, but I've been meaning to. (Although I think I have to see at least Alien to watch Prometheus.)

Craig was either weirdly sexy in Tintin because he snarled the whole time, or unintentionally hilarious because when he wasn't snarling, he was campy. Seemed to be having a hell of a good time, though.
>> No. 35721
Best non Connery/Moore Bond to date. Even if you're remotely interested in Bond you should watch it for the following reasons:

1.Lot's of references towards the past Bond movies.
2.The most memorable villain since Blofeld.
3.The reboot is complete, with Q, Miss Moneypenny and the new M

Now that I've said my 2 cents: Has any femanon/gayanon posted any Bond/Silver erotica yet? Dat scene where he nipple-tickles Bond, mmmm...
>> No. 35723
>>35709
>I've always subscribed to the theory that James Bond is a codename for a bunch of different men, so I don't care if James suddenly becomes a different ethnicity.

All the stories are predicated on the man being the same guy. But Idris would work fine with the same backstory because Bond's identity is based in class, not skin colour. After all, most of the early African dictators were educated at Eton, and Baroness Warsi is regrettably still a political figure, so suave, refined Idris wouldn't have any trouble being considered part of the "establishment".
>> No. 35724
>>35723
Mm, agreed. I think that theory extends to the films only, I can't speak to the books because I've only briefly skimmed Casino Royale (the novel). I guess it's a similar idea to Doctor Who, to explain the different actors. But I think as long as you do a good job, anyone could take the role, regardless of ethnicity, or heck, even sexuality. I remember someone asked Daniel Radcliffe was asked once if he could play Bond, and he joked he'd get Rupert Grint to play his boyfriend.
>> No. 35730
>>35723
By that logic Bond should be at least 80 years old by now and he'd be the only spy in the World to use his real name.

Despite the explanation in/of Skyfall I still hold to the idea that James Bond is a code name given to whoever is 007 at the time.
>> No. 35732
So, I think my only issue with this casting is....

....Is this Idris Elba guy English? Or british at least?
>> No. 35733

He is. Check out the series "Luther" he starred in (there's two seasons, three episodes each I think). The first one's about people getting murdered and Luther takes in as sort of a ward this young prostitute who was one of the targets. He's also Heimdall in the "Thor" film.

Fun fact, when the film rights for the James Bond series were first optioned back in the late fifties, one of the first directors to take the project wanted to make Bond a woman because they felt he was a boring, horrible character.

Well, Casino Royale was a reboot, so those kind of timelines issues aren't exactly applicable.

That is to say, while Skyfall explicitly shows James Bond is not a code name for Craig's character (we see his parent's grave and it they both have Bond in their names), it doesn't invalidate the theory for pre-Casino Royale films or any theoretical post-Craig ones.
>> No. 35820

I just hope that even though this is a reboot, that doesn't mean they're remaking any of the older films. It doesn't seem like they are, though.

And all jokes aside, I still feel like we could someday have a gay James Bond. Not yet, but in the future. Unfortunately it's 2012 and people are still skeevy about black protagonists and the idea of a good guy with a tattoo, which makes me want to facepalm, but...

KINDA SPOILERSISH but I think that this new thing with the female M being gone and Mallory replacing her as "M" while keeping the name sets a pretty good precedent for the new movies if they're going to retain any kind of continuity. While in the old Bond films, they're all supposed to be one guy, I think it'd be a good way to introduce Idris Elba as the new Bond-- have him inherit the code name like we've all been saying this whole time.
>> No. 35834
>>35832
I like that idea. The thing that fucks up the "the Craig movies are the first ones canonically" idea is that the 60's ones are very clearly set in the 60's, and Skyfall tackles very moden issues and references the older movies.

The other solution is that it's set in anachronistic order and Bond is a Timelord.

I thought Casino Royale rebooted the franchise? And I figured the references to all the 60s stuff in Skyfall were just that-- references (and callbacks to the ridiculousness of 1960s spy-stuff) but not stuff Bond himself ever used or something.
>> No. 35839
>>35838
It was a reboot yeah, but there's a six year gap in the plot since Quantum of Solace, so he could have gone through a lot of stuff very similar to the pre-Craig movies. Which is basically the premise of 007 Legends, Craig Bond reliving updated versions of his past adventures(Goldfinger, OHMSS, DAD, Moonraker, and LTK) after he's shot at the beginning of Skyfall.

Pansexual just refers to a person who is bi, but will also have sex with someone who pre or post-op transgender or intersexed (sometimes called hermaphrodites, but it's not entirely correct terminology). Something tells me Captain Jack would fall under this, but I haven't seen enough Torchwood to know.

On-topic though, someday I want to see a fight between Oddjob and Jaws just to see who'd win. I don't know why, but it's been something I've been wondering ever since I was a kid and they started doing those summer James Bond marathons on Spike (the only decent thing they've ever aired, those and the Star Wars marathons).

>>35862
Manly tears were shed in my case, too.

This was honestly the biggest surprise of the entire movie because I literally never saw it coming. I hadn't kept up with James Bond news so I didn't know Dame Judi Dench was leaving the movies after Skyfall. I let out an audible "oh my god!" right there in the theatre when I realized she was dying. I'm still sort of bummed about it, though I knew she had to go eventually.

The idea of transgender is that you are what you identify as, even though you were born as something else. And unfortunately there are some people who, if told their partner was born [x] but is now surgically/chemically [y], would leave them or throw up or throw slurs their way. I think pansexual is just being accepting of that surgery, or desire for it, and not calling them the gender they don't identify as, even if that's what they still are biologically.

Well M does stand for Mother..hell now I want Hideo Kojima to direct the next Jame Bond film.

Mm, you're right. Now I'm drawing Archer parallels as well.

Funny how a spoof can unintentionally have elements picked up by the thing that was originally being spoofed.

It even has a bondesque theme! Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater…youtube thumb

Nah that is Bond Theme regardless of its original source. Okay Kojima REALLY needs to make the next Bond movie. Hell the man knows the proper balance of serious and off the wall WTF that it would work. Enough giving homages let the guy do it for reals.

Finally saw it.
Sam Mendes is brilliant, Thomas Newman is perfection (I am going to collaborate with him someday, damn it!) great opening sequence, pacing, and the setpieces just flow very damn well.

All in all, its a good film.

Yeah, p much my line of thinking as soon as that post went up.

Metal Gear was a homage to Escape from New York, Snake always looks like some form of Kurt Russel. MGS3 was the only one that specifically called back to the Golden Age of Bond.

I'm aware of that. I was referencing MGS3 specifically, although Q looks like Otacon from MGS4. Different glasses, tho.

Is Escape From NY good? Been thinking of watching it if only to see th e Snake parallels.

Can't spell "badass" without the letters s-n-a-k-e p-l-i-s-s-k-e-n.
I realize how stupid that sounds, but you'll agree after watching it and the sequel.

No.

John Carpenter is capable of making some laugh riot movies (Big Trouble, They Live), and even the odd good one (The Thing), but Escape From New York is just... boring.

Personally im not as HUGE of a fan of Escape from LA as I am of Escape From New York (they had damn near the same plot after all), but it's still a damn fine piece of cheesy action movie. Escape from New York is just GOOD.
>> No. 35979

I don't remember too well Escape From New York, and Escape From Los Angeles was REAL cheesy, yeah. But I had to bring it up because of code 666. Now THAT was a "fuck you" if I ever saw one.

I apologize-- I genuinely hadn't seen the film, and only knew of it from MGS. Thank you for the feedback, though.

Man, after rewatching every James Bond movie you are without a doubt the wrongest person in the universe.

Slightly unrelated, but I think Moonraker is where my fondness for couples with major height differences first came from.

Either that, or the Disney version of Beauty and The Beast.

Rodger Moore funny is different than Pierce Brosnan funny. One at least had the excuse of being in the 70s.
>> No. 36035

Maybe it's because I grew up in the 90's, but 70's funny is still cute and funny, while 90's funny is sort of...painful to watch? I felt like the 90's in general had the cool stuff buried under a lot of crap.
