Ms Barbara's abilities are limited to following the herd. If somebody else makes something cutting edge capturing the attention of the right crowd she is all over it. She not a innovator, nor a dynamo of movie production. I once hoped First Class and Kingsman would kick them in the rear, not only is the director you snubbed good, he is good at creating a world EON has been desperate to recapture since Goldfinger and Thunderball. Sadly it may be a world they are no longer interested in finding. Not when hipster writers and directors ar dying to line up and emo the living hell out of 007.dirtybenny wrote:I'm in complete agreement with you both (Omega/Veronica) in reality Craig can't come back, he's burned that bridge and if he did it would be anticlimactic. Everybody has already moved on including the Craig converts, the only people who still want him to return are Babzy and the Bond haters who were wooed over by Craig's anti-Bond characterization.
"The problem is for this kind of people it's still just James Bond after all and they aren't going to put it up there with Godfather or Citizen Kane."
Of course you're right with this quote V, I get what you're saying, but I thought I point out, no one is going to put her films up there with these two movies because she couldn't touch these movies with a ten foot pole. It would be one thing if her "deep" "character studies" were good, I'd still complain because that isn't what most folks tune in to Bond for in the first place, but I'd complain a bit less if they were quality.
Sadly my only real hope Daniel has truly burnt his bridges as many of the 007 luvvys say. Help me Ob Wan Kenobi!
That would be a great name for a Craig spoof novel 'The Living Hell', maybe spoof 'The Living Daylights' with Daniels flair for the dramatic.
Why did that poor girl on the cello case have to die? Just moments before her life had held such promise. They shared a laugh while they were dashing throu the snow, thoughts of a warm fire back at the lodge and a night of getting to know one another kept the spirits warm in the bleak snowscape of hell Bond knew the world truly was. Just as Bond expected the enemy lay in wait just round the next bend.
His heart hammering away like a scared rabbit 007 had to think fast, the young lass ignorant of the impending danger look up at Bond with doe like eyes. Bond saw his countenance reflected back at him, it was a jarring sight of a scowling chimp which sent him into action. Promptly headbutting the damsel in distress into unconsciousness then propelling her limp body away from him as he rolled off the cello case landing like a badger he scurried to safety beneath the snow bank of dense shrubbery he watched the horror unfold before him.
The cello case with its lone occupant zipped neatly throu the snow, haloed by the majesty of winter. Reminiscent of a winters scene capture by Norman Rockwell of little scamps playing delightfully in the fresh Christmas snow the little cello case sped along merrily. Until it came in to full view of the KGB agents positioned to stop their escape, for the KGB winter only reminded them of Siberia, no joy to be had there so to warm their frost bitten hands they did the only thing they could to keep warm. Open fire on the delightful little case as it sped happily towards them. The Kalashnikovs belched in full auto joy like Rambo on holiday. Splinters were All that remained of the poor girl who's only real sin besides being a useful patsy was trusting in the English agent she had known only as "Bond", "the Bond" that was how he introduced himself after he lit one of his own farts at the black tie embassy reception.
Bond remembered the evening with fondness, he had gotten some foreign bird to pull his finger, then flawlessly managed to ignite the flatuints wowing the crowed of sophisticated Soviets gathered round to bask in the essence of Britain's sexiest man.
His face frozen in pure rage, looked the same as it always did. He pressed his duck lips hard in disgust. He make those bas***ds pay for this! Or he wasn't James Tyrone Xavier Marmaduke Bond!
The End
