Bond News Of The Day Thread

[Kristatos]

Extended classification information from the BBFC. I don't think anything in this counts as a spoiler, but since opinions vary as to what constitutes a spoiler, I have put it in spoiler tags just in case.
SKYFALL is the latest film in the James Bond series, starring Daniel Craig as agent 007. This time Bond is called into action to prevent the identities of secret agents around the world being made public. The film is rated 12A for moderate action violence and one use of strong language.

The moderate action violence includes several fight scenes, shoot-outs and chases. There are rapid exchanges of punches and other blows, without any focus on injury, and when characters are shot there is little clear detail of blood or injury. In some scenes, there is sight of bloodied clothing and faces as a result of violence, but there is no dwelling on either the injuries inflicted or the suffering of the victims. In one scene, a man cuts into his own chest to extract fragments of a bullet and then washes his bloody hands.

SKYFALL contains a single use of strong language, which is uttered when a character states they have "f**ked up". The use is resigned rather than aggressive and is not directed at another person. There is also some moderate and mild bad language, including uses of 'bitch', 'bloody', 'buggered', 's**t', 'hell', 'damned', 'Christ' and 'God'.

There are some brief mild sex sequences. In one scene, a man and a woman kiss passionately as they stand in a shower. However, there is no sight of nudity. The opening title sequence includes the usual implied nudity, involving stylised silhouette figures of naked women.

Smoking occurs shown in one scene, as a woman smokes a cigarette whilst talking to a man in a club. However, Bond himself does not smoke

SKYFALL includes a sequence in which a villain triggers an explosion underneath a London Underground line, which causes a tube train to derail. The carriages of the train are empty and there is no indication of any passengers. There is no sight of what happens to the driver.

First f-Bomb in a bond film?

First f-Bomb in a bond film?

I think it'll be the first time it's been said out loud. JW Pepper mouthed it in LALD.

[The Saint 007]

I thought they said Skyfall was supposed to be a more balanced Bond film, but it seems like it's going to be even more dark and gritty than Casino Royale and Quantum Of Solace.

[Daltonite Toothpaste]

Could that even be possible?

[Omega]

There is also some moderate and mild bad language, including uses of f**ked up 'bitch', 'bloody', 'buggered', 's**t', 'hell', 'damned', 'Christ' and 'God'.

So essentially it is a Craig interview.

Cr-egg has officially debased the good name of the franchise. Maybe the green vegetable hated her father and this is payback?

Judging by the glowing reviews BJ, I think her father would be very happy right now.

You haven't seen it yet BJ.

We know the content and it is NOT Bondian and it is debasing the franchise.

I think you need to see it before you pass judgement on the film itself. You may not like the guy playing Bond, you may not like what you've read regarding rumours around the plot, but until you've seen the film you cannot judge the film.

Babs has chosen Daniel Craig's replacement. The man in the picture is only 31 years old.

Will you accept Harris's portrayal of MP and the new Q portrayal? You don't have to see the content for this, just the vision of both, and add that to Cr-egg, and you get 3 miscast messes.

Skyfall premiere to benefit actual spies.

[Kristatos]

Skyfall to lead to increase in number of disappointed civil servants?

[Blowfeld]

Skyfall to lead to increase in number of disappointed civil servants?

Explains everything. Every Bond movie there's a story about increased interest jobs in the espionage field, after 50 years of this the state of the nation suddenly makes sense

[bjmdds]

Cr-egg's face should cause a massive rush to be a cosmetologist and makeup artist

[Kristatos]

I admire your courage, miss...?

[Kristatos]

I admire your courage, miss...?

Edit: that's a thumbs-up?
