Let's hope FBF can turn the page on her egregious mistakes about Pierce and join in on the excitement that Aidan Turner could bring to the franchise going forward, with her possibly diminished in importance with a new distributor.
I'll NEVER tolerate for what that b1tch did to Pierce. NO, you can't make me BJ. I made my decision. If you support Babs again, you're support DC's Bond without even knowing it.

And if that psychotic dictator hired those Oscar nominated people or potentials for Craig's Bond films but not Pierce's, then it's pointless to give support to Turner. Why don't she just hire those rotten dogs for Bond and give them the same treatment she gave to Craig?
Choosing Turner after Cr-egg might show the crumb realizes she went off the rails with her new creation. Broccoli requires 'detente' with FBF going forward.
You realize that you're containing a zombie here, and zombies cannot be returned to their former state. If you bring in Turner, this DC virus will still walk among us. Why? Because Babs managed to corrupted the minds of general public and American awards systems into liking DC's Bonds, those corrupted Bond films are now considered a "classic" Bonds so therefore, DC's Bond will NEVER be separated from the original 5 Bond actors by public. If SF had crashed and burned it released, that would be a different story.

When there is a film or a TV series that popular, it would get referenced or being used a model for future works. For example, look at OHMSS. Lazenby's only Bond is considered a classic and would later be referenced in films like Inception. Also, look at 1978 version of Superman as it was used as model for Batman Begins. I know for that fact that DC's Bonds will later be referenced in future works based on their so-called popularity. If that's the case, you might cast anybody as Bond. If DC's Bonds will be used for inspiration for future classics, why not Bond films starring Bond actors who look less Bondian than DC is?

By making the cinematic Bond looking less and less Bond after DC, that's when DC will be separated from the original 5. Besides, I think it's fair for DC to have fellow successors who look less Bondian to join him in a club where they gets tomatoes thrown in their faces because they're not classic Bonds but corrupted Bonds. Besides, we all rebels here consider the Bond reboot to be pointless. Let me ask you this BJ. Would you really want classic Bond actor be in the reboot timeline, which by the way should for less Bond looking actors?

I don't know where they will go with Turner as the 7th 007. They could go back to the ending of Brosnan's DAD, and pick it up from there. Broccoli does not care about continuity, neither did her daddy. I don't see Turner meeting Dr. No, because then originality would be totally gone from the franchise. I can envision a gadget driven direction with Aidan, with more fascinating action sequences vs. this emotional and pointless garbage Cr-egg is doing. If she brings the jungle lord back for a 5th film, this will render Turner moot, for people will be tired of watching this current drivel with Bro-feld and Cr-egg and they will lose interest in the series. Cr-egg knows he's done. Does the green vegetable? Just give Turner a chance FBF to win you over. Do not let Broccoli's rude dismissal of Pierce as Bond sour you on a fine Bond specimen like Aidan, who might be a better choice than Cavill, whose "Stupid-Man" film opens this weekend and should be all front loaded and done after 3 weekends of making money.

BATMAN VS SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE:THE VERDICT: Basically M. Night Shyamalan in a wifebeater, why the hell does Warners keep throwing money at Zach Snyder? The man might just be Hollywood’s greatest franchise killer ever, having nosedived ‘Watchmen’, ‘Legend Of The Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole’ (not even Troy McClure could beat that title), ‘Sucker Punch’ and ‘Man Of Steel’. And now Zack outdoes himself with a two-for-one, making sure both Batman and Superman will have to retreat for a few more years, to regroup and reboot, and be reimagined all over again. Actually, and without giving too much away, he’s pretty much nobbled the hopes and dreams of Wonder Woman too, which the boy is currently filming – for now – and his in-pre-production ‘Justice League’ outings.
There is so much wrong with this movie, it’s hard to know where to start. Other than warning you to not go to this movie. Ever. To be fair, the cast line-up is a fair warning, being full of faded or failed would-be blockbuster giants, comeback cowboys and embarrassed character actors. Eisenberg’s naturally nervous disposition should work wonders for playing the desperate, nobody-loves-me Lex Luther, but, instead, Jesse seems to be simply channelling Crispin Glover. Badly.
Even the loved ones back home are weak, with Superman supposedly inspired to save the world by Amy Adams teetering uncomfortably in high-heels and Batman relying for his TLC from Jeremy Irons in hemp crocs.
There’s just no one to root here, or even like. There’s no J.K. Simmons. No Christopher Reeves. Heck there isn’t even a George Reeves here, ironically enough.
As for Snyder, once again he delivers a big, hot mess that’s 10% noir and 90% naff.
Ultimately, what you’re left with is far more ‘Mystery Men’ than ‘The Avengers’, the Golden Raspberry-baiting ‘Batman V Superman’ playing like a series of CGI-drenched trailer-chasing shots held together by the feather-flightiest of plots. Avoid.
RATING: 1/5

I can give Turner a chance but NOT when Babs is around. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. She committed the act that I WILL NEVER forgive. Turner can do better than sell his soul to the she-devil, who doesn't a classic Bond actor after what she had done to last one.

Nothing suprising here. It's evident in the trailers how bad this is. If that means anything I like white dress that Gadot wears in a movie.

If you're really going to give Babs the second chance, why don't you form a group and buy DC Bonds DVDs/Blu-Rays for the big event where you destroy them in public? And don't you tell me about letting me do all the fun.

"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a joyless slog. Filled with scenes of gloomy characters confronting their demons or wrestling with their insipid moral quandaries, it’s not a superhero movie so much as it is an excruciating therapy session in which there are occasionally huge explosions and guys in capes. The template for how to make a great Batman movie laid out by Christopher Nolan in his Dark Knight trilogy—grounded characters, a somber tone, believable emotional stakes—has now been pureed by Man of Steel filmmaker Zack Snyder into this indigestible, posturing, two-and-a-half-hour mope-fest.......Snyder and his writers are too busy convincing themselves they have significant things to say about American democracy, the fear of terrorist attacks, xenophobia, and the pain of losing one’s parents........That can be the only explanation for how drab Affleck is as Wayne and how shockingly bad Eisenberg is as Luthor..........It was bad enough that Man of Steel trampled on the memory of the first two good Superman movies. Now Snyder has gone and ruined Batman, too."

Variety is also reporting negative reviews, but says that advance ticket sales have exceeded those of TDKR. I suspect it'll have a big opening weekend followed by a 60% or more second weekend drop-off.

If early projections are accurate, the film is already predicted to open at $350 million across 35,000 screens globally..........I find this insane, just as Cr-egg is Bond.

Not good enough. That b*tch forgot the meaning a classic needs classic when Pierce was still Bond. Pierce is a classic type, and he deserves a classic (though he had with GE but that wasn't enough). But if a non-classic like DC got a classic, then anybody or anything can. Haven't you forgot about this?

What classic did Craig got? That inaccurate interpretation of the book Casino Royale with the most sugary love story in the last 15 years?
Whatever Quantum of Solace is? Skyfall,a pretentious movie that ripped offanything from Mission:Impossible to Home Alone along with some elements from GE and TWINE?
Or perhaps dismal Spectre,a story about nothing that attempts to be something even resetting Fleming's fiction so Mendes can play the second coming of Shakespeare.Like Ian Dunross said in his interview-SP achieved a state of art in cinematic nihilism. A huge exercise in telling a story about nothing whatsoever.
There is nothing classic about these movies. Except the fact that they represent the destruction of once remarkable franchise so well.

Yes,Brosnan should have gotten better movies. But at the time(just as now really) EON lacked confidence and a solid direction in which these movies would go. There were some poor casting choices(I guess the bankability in America really mattered),unorganised shooting without a finished script,uneven pacing,mood whiplashes and whatever went wrong when they were making DAD. It could and should have been better but hey-it's not that bad either.

How about Broccoli emails you directly on this forum :idea: :idea: :idea: and admits her treatment of Pierce's Bond career and dismissal was done poorly? I am sure she knows who you are by now FBF after reading our forum to see what we write.

Bond's finished permanently or at least the days of traditional tall and dark-haired types.
Yes,Brosnan should have gotten better movies. But at the time(just as now really) EON lacked confidence and a solid direction in which these movies would go. There were some poor casting choices(I guess the bankability in America really mattered),unorganised shooting without a finished script,uneven pacing,mood whiplashes and whatever went wrong when they were making DAD. It could and should have been better but hey-it's not that bad either.
EON was lazy during the Brosnan era, dismissed Brosnan horribly without giving him a classic Bond (though again he had GE but that wasn't enough) that showcases his true potential(his true grit in particular), and wasted Brosnan's talents. Plus, the minions blame Pierce like it's his fault even though he had no control over the content he was given. Also, EON is making Pierce's Bond look like as though that he never existed thanks to this so-called "popularity of classic Bond films starring Craig", and WHAT IS THIS?

Image

With the way EON treated Pierce like this, this is something I cannot tolerate. For that, I have no interest in seeing traditional types return after Craig leaves. Pierce isn't just a classic Bond actor. He defined the modern generation after Cold War as though that his fans like children of Sean's fans (who grew up in the 60s) for the most part. By disrespecting a modern Bond like Pierce, EON should not do any business with traditional classic type actors, and they're better off with rotten dogs and lowlife average joes.

I don't know about you, but I can tell that Babs is desperate in put her in the list of icons like Spielberg or Lucas. Why else would she hire Oscar nominees/winners or those with Oscar potential for SF and SP? Why couldn't she do it when Pierce was Bond? Another way to disrespect a modern classic Bond. Again, EON should do business with lowlives and cast them as Bonds.
