The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......

[tehmanis]

I didn't say it was illegal to say if you don't like Brosnan here but it seems like all of your posts are nothing but hating Brosnan, if his name is even slightly brought up you tear it apart.

so is it wrong to hate Brosnan here? i know this site exist because some little Bond fans don't like Craig, so whatever bias opinion about him i can manage myself to disagree, but common why i can't voice my dislike about Brosnan here??

Brosnan and Moore are constantly used as punching bags, and it's ridiculous threads like this one that makes me shake me head in disgust at some of these internet punks. Why is it that Bond has to be macho and aggressive in order to be considered cool? It was never like this before. I think Roger Moore is awesome, but people constantly bash him because they think he's not hardcore or threatening enough. Like I mentioned the other day, just because Roger doesn't go around killing everyone like a psychopath, doesn't mean his Bond films aren't violent. Moore actually has quite a few cold-blooded moments throughout his films. Plus, the humorous nature toned down the violence, making it seem less dark for audiences.

*Sigh* But this very same garbage goes on in gaming too. You see all these gamers on the forums bragging about how cool and hardcore they are for playing all sorts of violent games, and then they bash games like Mario and Zelda for being "kiddy" and "lame." I really wish these kinds of people would grow up, and realize that watching violent movies or playing violent video games does not make you cool and hardcore.

My favourite scene in the entire series is actually in a Moore film, from Moonraker bizarrely enough. It is the centrifuge scene, which is just superb, and for once Moore plays it deadly serious, with no tongue-in-cheek quip after escaping a near death. I love that scene.

Agreed. I also think the scene in For Your Eyes Only where Moore kicks the car which Emile Locque is trapped in off the cliff is pretty good too. Moore definitely has a tough side to him, but he does it in a way that's not overly grim and gritty.

[Blowfeld]

What bothered me was other movie references in Roger's movies. Not to do with Moore obviously. This movie is popular lets acknowledge it on some level,

Did you read My post, I said you have every right to voice your opinion but you don't, most of your posts consist of trolling, if you dislike Brosnans bond state why and explain don't just put lol he's a sissy, effeminate or looks like a schoolboy it doesn't get your point across, that's all I'm trying to say, just like some of My reasons for disliking craigs bond ie not suave, too brutal, no gadgets, I dislike the craig bond films but I'm not gonna trash anyone that likes him, we all have our opinion of what bonds we like and don't like, that's all I'm really trying to say, just be more coherent and explain why and I wouldn't reply to your posts like this.

"Is “Saturday Night Live” really starting to lose some of its luster now without Andy Samberg, Kristen Wiig, and Abby Elliot? Based on some of the ratings that we have just seen for this past weekend’s episode, it does look as though the magic is waning.
With a 2.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic, Daniel Craig’s hosting gig was easily the lowest-rated of the season, and also one of the lowest-rated episodes we have seen in some time. So what happened here? Really, we can attribute it to everything from college football to “Taken 2″ or possibly just college students spending their time partying instead. At the end of the day, we really just think that the problem is quality." (DC is NOTHING in the USA. Eon does not get that. More proof )

http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2012/1 ... gs/151860/ 18-49 numbers dropped from 3.0 to 2.2 HUGE drop off............HUGE ........call him 00 Shmuck here in the USA............hopefully both Oh-bama and Cr-egg will be gone the same week in November and we will never have to endure these two disgraces in their respective vocations in the roles they are both miscast for

[katied]

Not really surprised that DC's appearance on SNL was low rated. But SNL has been "meh" for quite a while.

http://mimo.recordingconnection.com/ade ... ts/962169/ Are 250,000 song downloads considered great? And the only place it can go is down over time after it's debut, correct gang? I would have guessed over 1 million downloads of Adele's dreary song by her so-called adoring fans by now.

The 250,000 was over a weekend. Not bad for 2 days I think. I can see this song topping the charts in both UK and the US.

One look at the iTunes chart in both the UK and US shows her currently at no. 2, and no. 1 in France, Germany and most other European countries - http://www.apple.com/euro/itunes/charts/top10songs.html

SNL ratings down with Craig.

Code: Select all

Seth Macfarlane 2.8 rating
Joseph Gordon-Levitt 3.0 rating
Daniel Wroughton Broccoli 2.2

Kids just dig that gritty Bond man Once again Craig is not a player in the US market. UK he'd probably get a bigger draw.

Sadly he will , I resent creggs bond films with a fiery passion but most over here are still in the zomg it's that guy, best ever, flemings bond etc , fbf the virus might not be worldwide but it's sadly spread over in the uk for the last 6 years and again he's utter crap, why do we as a country settle for so much d**n mediocrity today.

Anyone see red dwarf series 10?, after series 7, 8 and back to earth I thought they would never be able to redeem themselfs, went in with no expectations and I'm happy I was proven wrong, it smegging blew Me away, roll on this thursday and episode 2, the boys from the dwarf are back .

If the bond franchise continues on like this in the words of red dwarf series 6 maybe the series would be better dead than smeg (ie now) if it carries on, why isn't craig offended that he's only there for babs because she likes gawking at him, not because of his acting ability, I bet if Cubby was still alive today and he said what babs said recently about craig with his bond girls when he was alive he would've been given a hell of a lot of trouble, I'm expecting babs to slap creggs backside next, christ treat your actors with some soddin integrity, if I liked a women and I did that or was working in the industry I'd get bloody burned alive, so why the soddin double standard.

In a world that makes sense craig should be seriously concerned that he's working for a bunny boiler always keen to see him from every angle and wants him around forever, if I worked for a female boss and she treated Me like this I'd make a complaint.

Old bond: Classic that made bond an icon for 40 years and made cinema history.
New bond: trying to be bourne, run by a horny green vegetable, wants an oscar and would like to be featured next to leonardo devinci in some art gallery.

Somebody buy this man a drink!!! He know what's goin on!

I think we should elect someone from this forum to go see Skyfall opening night and review it for everyone else. My votes is for FormerBondFan.
Calm down FBF I'm only kidding

I've already decided that if I do see it in the cinema, it won't be during its first two weeks. That's when the narrative of a film's success or failure is written. After that, the price of my ticket won't affect it much one way or the other. Either it will already be a hit, so withdrawing my money would be a futile gesture, or it will have been written off as a failure, and my going to see it won't make any difference, any more than it did with John Carter.

It is not listed in Australia's top 10. Was it available there or do they show good taste to avoid it? This song is pure hype, just like Bond 23 is, with NO rationale to become a hit, except for it being Adele or Bond. If Carrie Underwood sang The Sky Is Falling not much buzz would surround it like it is for overhyped Adele. The reason Adele is as popular as she has become is due to the lack of voice competition of her generation. Rap dominates a decadent USA declining culture and worldwide there are no others who actually sing songs, instead of grunting debasing gibberish into rap trash. Put Adele in an age of Streisand, Warwick, Ross, Bassie, and others like that, and she is mediocre at best. When your main competition is Cher Lloyd, Cheryl Cole, Demi Lovato, Britney Spears, etc., it's not hard to rise to the top. The Sky Is Falling is a dreary, repetitive, and boring ballad and as I said prior, Tom Jones's TB NOW buries this song in effect and vitality. Right FBF?

The only Bond movie I will watch this year is The Dark Knight trilogy.

Adele's song will prove that EON is arrogant and pretentious. And yes, Tom Jones' TB is a definite classic.

I am the first to agree that EON have made a mess of many decisions over the past few years, but I actually think the decision to go with Adele was a good one, regardless of who is playing Bond, or what the film is like.

Adele has a voice born to sing a Bond film, and she is the most successful solo singer globally at the moment, so for me EON have done something right for once - and the song is good too, which is a big bonus.
