Bond 77: Message understood


Craig has definitely gone Mrs. Doubtfire(love that movie-never gets old!)

[Bond77]

First order of business. Ale B. Did anyone ever answer your trivia question? I don't know the answer, but I am curious.

After a six year break, the franchise came back with Pierce Brosnan as Bond. Goldeneye was probably Brosnan’s best Bond movie. Izabella Scorupco didn’t really get the career break she was looking for, and like so many Bond Girls before her has faded into obscurity – only making a brief appearance on Alias and dragon movie Reign of Fire since her Bond days.

Well it looks like you win A. Bouvier's prize!

You might as well go with bondnotblond's choice for the 7th James Bond.

One learns from watching so many Bond films to always stay on guard, and always look over your shoulder.

Ha, I don't know about that! She said the prize would be some treats she baked, and then she posted a picture of them.

I hope I didn't bother you with that dental question. Since we work talking about reasons behind forum names I thought I'd ask. I know DDS means "Doctor of Dental Surgery", but it could have some other meaning entirely. Just disregard the question if you don't feel comfortable answering.

[La Viande Rose]

I'm not about to publicly expose names of people. They know who they are. It's not my place to say names and I never would in a forum anyway. Many people are aware who the people in question are anyway.

Well, I won't push it further if that's as good an answer as you are prepared to write. I do suspect them of being in with Ian Fleming Publications, for what it's worth, but I'm not prepared to say everyone knows this for a fact or that many people are aware. If you're going to allege something you should come good on it. Having lurked there for a few years I haven't seen much of what you assert and as you can't properly assert it, there's no point taking you on trust I'm afraid. You might well suspect it and it's probably a reasonable assmption given their conduct in shutting threads down but unless you can identify specifics it's as reasonable an assumption to assert that it's all one person or they are all Russian. Did you fall out with them in some way (in your defence, this is quite easy to do).

BJ - Jim's just being his usual smart-ass self - I think he's suggesting that your reappearance keeps him young and you're going through the routines you went through in October 2005. That's probably not very well explained, but it's as good an observation as the comment merits.

There is an entire section of the forum dedicated to the books here, I think you may not have seen it. There are sub-forums. Also, CBn has been up for way longer than this site, so clearly they have had time to have already covered more topics. And, this forum is about Daniel Craig not being Bond, for those who don't actually enjoy him as Bond, so obviously the discussions revolve around that subject. Doesn't mean it is everyone's cup of tea, but it's what the site is about

Well that's true but this has been going for five years or so and CBn ten or so? Pretty sure that five years ago CBn (and MI6 and AJB etc) had wider discussions on all aspects of Bond than this one does. This is a shame as this does appear to have open discussion but it's open discussion about a pretty negative idea. You might want to consider changing the name of the forum and website (but keeping its stance) to attract wider Bond fans rather than Craig dislikers; I mean, I don't much like the Craig films but having now put that on record, I'm not sre there is much more for me here, unless I toe the evident party line and keep on writing that and becoming ever more infuriated and pointless, which seems like a bit of a waste of time.

[Kristatos]

If you look at CBn (if you can bring yourself to do it) there really aren't any film stills or anything on there. There are much more on here - is this place Eon authorised?

Nope, nobody needs EON's permission to post anything on here.

Bloody hell, 1300 dead in japan after tsunami and earthquake and a meltdown might happen http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20110312/twl ... d0ae9.html

My sympathies go out to everyone in Japan affected by this horrible incident and the lives lost ,
I'll donate to Japan tomorrow.

[bjmdds]

Nuclear power plants with earthquakes are a poor mix. That's one of the dangers with him. Who knows the outcome now of this.

[katied]

The video that had me was one in a grocery store where everything is shaking and stuff is flying off the shelves.And it keeps on going and going.

http://www.brindiamotv.com/brindiamo_go ... ut_Me.html Alessandra, do people in Italy know her? She is on PBS here on Brindiamo tv and she goes around to different Italian restaurants in NYC. Is she more or less known than Lidia, since Lidia cooks, this one just eats and reviews.

BJ gets the prize! LOL no the prize isn't myself It was actually not a brief appearance. She was the main guest star of the episode, she played a REALLY evil terrorist. Not to mention, that cheeky one put the moves on MY TV BOYFRIEND (that would be Michael Vartan)... but he AWESOMELY turned her down... and I literally mean awesomely! The disturbing thing is that Izabella had a REALLY bad new hairstyle in the show, a long straight blond cut that really didn't do her any favors. She was good in the part, though. And here is the video! Go to 3:00 to see her appear for the first time... and call my TV boyfriend "eye candy" (NO KIDDING... and no you're not getting him, bitch! )

The "some treat" I posted photo of were Krapfen, a type of brioche that is made in Austria/Germany and is very popular in Italy, too. Apricot jam filling. And I had literally just made them (they were still warm) when I took the photo! Should I send over the next batch, BJ?

Now the question is... BJ never watched Alias, not that I know of. So my dear, as good as you have been finding the answer, if this is a google result then it is NO FAIR!

Viande Rose: people who are familiar with the matter know about the people at CBn, I DO know the names involved and exactly what they do for EON and I'm most certainly not the only one. I also know about a thing called privacy and I will never, EVER expose names of people publicly on a forum, the end. Some people don't have decency, but I do. I said more than enough about the matter, for those familiar with it, they know what I'm talking about, and for those who aren't, well too bad. I feel at home here and I know people understand when I am referring to specific topics, so I don't need to explain every statement. I am certainly not the type to go around and just say things random. Whether you "trust" me or not is not an issue for me, if you do then fine, if you don't fine anyway, you don't know me and I don't know you so there's no problem. Again, there are many people who know what I'm talking about so it's not like this is an out-of-the-blue statement that's never been made before. In Italian we say "you can name the sin, but not the sinner". And no, I didn't have any particular fall-out with the CBn people, other than the fact a couple of the mods bullied me because I didn't like Craig, but there were also other mods who were nice. I stopped posting because it indeed became CommanderPravda.net and that was it. I did find some people there who were nice to interact with and of whom I have fond memories. Again, this matter about some of them being involved with EON is most certainly not a secret. The fact you're not familiar with the matter doesn't mean it is untrue or least of all that I'm just saying things random.

We have good discussions about the Bond movies and about many aspects of Bond from novels to music to Bond girls, sorry if you don't find those satisfactory. And 5 years more on a forum allow people to immensely expand on the number of topics. Stay assured CBn didn't start out the way it looks now, that's for sure. CBn has been around for twice the time as this forum, that's a lot more time. And again the theme of this forum IS Daniel Craig Is Not Bond... so if you don't like the theme to begin with, of course it would be pointless to stick around in the first place.

I completely disagree that people should name names... not in this case and not EVER publicly on the internet.

http://www.brindiamotv.com/brindiamo_go ... ut_Me.html Alessandra, do people in Italy know her? She is on PBS here on Brindiamo tv and she goes around to different Italian restaurants in NYC. Is she more or less known than Lidia, since Lidia cooks, this one just eats and reviews.

LOL! BJ, Nobody knows Lidia here, and nobody knows her either. I've read the list of things she has been in.. she was one of the many dancers on SUPER CHEESY National TV programs in primetime... MAAAAANY years ago. Unsure I would even recognise her if I looked since she wasn't a first dancer but just what we call a "line dancer". So uhm... I don't see whatever competence she has about food and drinks :O She may just be one of those Italians who know their stuff about food though I guess.

[Alessandra]

FBF that Sadowitz photo ruined my hairstyle! It frightened me

Now on a more serious note... Japan situation is just terrifying and horrible. The number of deaths went up exponentially, those poor people. Not to mention all the damage those who survived will have to deal with. And we're all now just praying that nuclear plants are kept under control, if it got out of hand that would be an utter tragedy not just for Japan, but for a much bigger number of countries/areas.

Congrats again BJ (unless Ale cites you for a rules violation). And my goodness Ale B.! You don't worry about me, I say that Michael Vartan guy is all yours!

I couldn't tell exactly what they were so I just called them a "treat". Hope you're not offended. They looked really good!

And again the theme of this forum IS Daniel Craig Is Not Bond... so if you don't like the theme to begin with, of course it would be pointless to stick around in the first place.

Exactly. People are nice here, but expect to debate your position. This forum is not like CommanderPravda.net or MIsinformation6.co.uk. You won't be shut down for your opinions. You will only be shut down if you resort to ad hominem attacks.

I stopped posting because it indeed became CommanderPravda.net and that was it. Again, this matter about some of them being involved with EON is most certainly not a secret.

I can understand that Alessandra. What reasonable person would want to continue getting pummeled? That brings me to this "Capsule in Space" character. That maniac hasn't stopped posting, and I am here to report that after three days he's managed to earn a reputation of -43 at CommanderPravda.net. It all started with this first post of Cap's commenting on the Danielle Craig PSA fiasco:

"This PSA shows a sanctimonious actor desperate for praise and attention at the next Hamptons cocktail party. I don't see how that helps women or the Bond franchise.

I guess nothing helps women more than having the pawn of Barbara Broccoli (multi-millionaire, film franchise heiress) wearing a dress and looking like Ann Coulter."

Since then there has been a uproar. Of course BJ has been pounced on, and Captain Flandry as well. Now Capsule in Space is in a heated discussion about the poor numbers that QOS produced, and of course this has all the EONites and Craigskis in a tizzy. Capsule in Space is doing his best Mazer R. imitation to take on these detractors, but come on, there is only one Mazer R.!

It appears that for the time being that Capsule in Space will continue to support his fellow DCinBers in other forums. That's the report from the enemy front.

Congrats again BJ (unless Ale cites you for a rules violation). And my goodness Ale B.! You don't worry about me, I say that Michael Vartan guy is all yours!

"That Michael Vartan guy"? He's a famous actor! Not a random unknown like, I don't know... Daniel Craig before Bond! Seriously! And if you too have never seen Alias, you totally should. It's one of the best shows of the past 10 years. For me, the best, period. But for sure, critics-wise, one of the best. And it's absolutely the type of show a Bond fan would like. There are many definite Bond references in it, but it's not a Bond ripoff at all. And not coincidentally the actors, director/creator/producer (JJ Abrams) and writers of this show have had great careers (or already had at that point). It's truly a special show, and very "cinematic", looks much more like a movie than like TV. And that was always the intent, per JJ Abrams's many interviews about it.

I couldn't tell exactly what they were so I just called them a "treat". Hope you're not offended. They looked really good!

Oh no I wasn't offended at all! I just wanted to explain what they were, as you were right calling them "some treat", I hadn't explained what they were!

Exactly. People are nice here, but expect to debate your position. This forum is not like CommanderPravda.net or MIsinformation6.co.uk. You won't be shut down for your opinions. You will only be shut down if you resort to ad hominem attacks.

Perfectly stated. Ad hominem attacks or being generally rude are the (rightfully so) things that will get you banned here, but certainly not opinions.

All hail Capsule in Space! The poor chap is in the line of fire, but much like Sydney Bristow on Alias, he is firing alone against all opponents... and kicking ass!

-26 is my rating there, and I am proud of it!
