Well running fast if someone tries to kill you is good advice.

Disney is a big enough company to get this right. I also though they dubbed these movies.

To the Chinese how does it feel to have crappy subtitles ruin your movie experience? (I only say this because I've watched plenty of import films with very poor subtitles)

I know it's a moot point now, but if Kevin McClory had the rights to Thunderball, does that mean he had the rights to Paula Caplan? It has occurred to me that instead of wasting his time trying to make yet another remake of TB, he'd have been better off trying to spin her off into her own franchise, either ignoring her death or setting them before the events of TB. I think that a series of films about a sexy female spy based in the Bahamas has potential. But who would play Paula?

[bjmdds]

Paula Patton of course:

Paula Patton of course:

Ooh, good pick. She does look like Martine, and she was great in Ghost Protocol. I suspect the bean-counters would hear the word "Bahamas" and cast bloody Rihanna, though.

[Count_Lippe]

Maybe Martine wasn't in DR NO after all.

Count, she was not in three films after all, so Maud is the ONLY Bond girl to 'ACTUALLY 'appear' on film in three of them.

They have to look the part, and she most definitely does and is the perfect age. She nailed the Ghost Protocol role. Pine is terrible as Kirk, Cavill is OK as Superman, Affleck is NOT Batman material, nor is Eisenberg Luthor material...........let's not forget the loser drone that Broccoli hired as Bond that tops the list of imperfect castings by Hollywood

[Count_Lippe]

Martine has a sweet smile though, don't you think?

Digital Spy:Oberhauser (Christoph Waltz), the son of Bond's foster father Hans, is alive and kicking and up to no good. Where there is SPECTRE, there is Blofeld. Though Waltz has denied he's playing Bond's arch-nemesis, it's been heavily rumored that his "Oberhauser" identity is all a ruse to cover up the truth. This is all shaping up to be a not-so-surprising reveal in the vein of Star Trek's John Harrison/Khan and Batman Begins's Ducard/Ra's Al Ghul. Whether this incarnation of Blofeld has facial scarring or a white Persian cat remains to be seen. However, it seems pretty clear that this represents a definitive clean continuity break from past movies and this version of the character won't be the one who murdered Bond's wife at the close of On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

Waltz said himself he is playing this Oberhaiser guy-it would be a moronic move to deny that he is playing Blofeld if he truly IS playing Blofeld. He would just turn out to be a liar when the movie comes out.

That is why this film won't be anything great. Broccoli is fooling nobody and this retold and reinvented Blofeld plot won't be of major importance to warrant repeat viewings, except for the die-hard minions that FBF always correctly speaks of. $1 billion at the box office? I think not. Cr-egg's first 2 films were more in line with his box office reality and the last was probably an aberration.

According to info from the Sony leaks, he's both, kind of. Depending on which version they make, Oberhauser changes his name to Blofeld at the end or Blofeld pretends to be Oberhauser in order to "get in to Bond's head"

As for SP doing SF numbers, my theory as to why SF did so well was a perfect storm of hype. The 50th anniversary, which gave them a ton of free publicity, from the old movies getting continual replay on T.V., to every "infotainment" program doing some sort of Bond retrospective. Add to that the Olympics taking place in London just 3 months earlier, and the mountain of money they did spend on advertising and you get a big pay out. Add to that SF was in fact a big disappointment and the leaks put the whole ridiculous plot of SP out in the open, who'd want to spend good money to go see it?

Skyfall was greatly helped by the 50th anniversary IMO.They did absolutely everything in order to make SF successful. Coca-cola was even giving free tickets for the movie if you complete some Bond like chalenge and come to that machhine where you can buy coca cola in a shopping mall...They literally did everything in terms of promoting and nothing in terms of a script. And now Broccoli is going to try to do it again-there was even a clip of filming Spectre in Rome on evening news in my country. Craig had great,terrific,totally Bond like clothes put to say that he looked like Yeti in a suit is not nearly enough to describe it. He walked like he had a stick in his ass(forgive my expression). Literally. Once again I was shocked with complete absence of grace and natural dashing style in a guy who is supposed to be Bond. My mum actually laughed. Anyhow-where did the rumor that MI6 forum is actually an undercover EON came from?

Exactly. The promoting of SF was a masterpiece but the same can not be said for the movie.

So,I just read a comment on Spectre:"You've got a secret that you can't tell anyone because you don't trust anyone"
Is Bond going to learn his father is Darth Vader? LOL

Kingsman is our escapism now as James Bond is now a relic best left in the past.
