Seriously, it is criminal that he hasn't been in a film since the shit that was League of Extraordinary Gentleman. I don't care that he's 81. He'd still kick Daniel Craig's ass to the curb and back.
Skyfall is the title of Bond 23

Yes, yes - I know all this. Doesn't mean I have to like it.MrPopo wrote:That's why his character was dead in Indy 4; they wanted him to be in it but he wanted to stay retired.fastbilly1 wrote:He retired and said he would only come back to be the King in a live action Last Unicorn that they had been planning since the mid 80s.dsheinem wrote:Boo.

Re: Skyfall is the title of Bond 23
I like the Bourne movies, but they need to learn to hold the camera still. I get it, shaky camera makes it feel more intense and whatnot. But the second, and ever more so the third movie, it's like the camera mount was made of jello and they shot the movie during an earthquake. I really liked the movies, but the damn camera during the action scenes halfway ruined the them for me.Pulsar_t wrote:Bourne > Bond
When I first saw Quantum in the theaters, I was a little let down. However, I watched it again not too long ago and it really isn't bad at all. I think it's just that Casino Royale raised the bar so high, Quantum didn't stand a chance at hurdling over it. At any rate, just compare it to Die Another Day. At least Quantum is in the same league as Casino. I hate Die Another Day so much, I literally pretend that the movie doesn't exist. When I bought (the newest) Bond DVD box sets, I was considering throwing Die Another Day away. That DVD has never been touched. If you replaced the regular crew of actors in the movie, it would be a PERFECT Bond spoof movie. Dude with diamonds in his face, Turbo Man, and an invisible car. Damn, I think my blood pressure just went up.emwearz wrote:I was bitterly let down by Quantum of Solace, I hope this one is decent.

Fly, Turbo Man! Use your jet pack!
When I first saw Die Another Day in the theaters, at the part when the villain is wearing that suite, he turns around with his hands on his hips and the dumbest smile on his face. My exact thought at that point was, "It's turbo time!" And I just busted out laughing. That movie was building up, comically, and that was the climax max.

Re: Skyfall is the title of Bond 23
Yeah, great, they tried to recreate something that's been done in 1962. Way to stay fresh, guys!
Re: Skyfall is the title of Bond 23
Well, I disagree, but it's irrelevant since Andress isn't going to be a Bond girl any time soon.

Re: Skyfall is the title of Bond 23
She might be hot, not saying she isn't. But she had the misfortune of being in the, hands down, worst Bond movie ever. She can't even hope that there will be another Bond movie, some day, that's worse. It just can't happen. Die Another Day is the worst Bond movie, bar none. It's pretty low on the list of movies outside of Bond flicks, too. I mean, Die Another Day makes Moonraker look fantastic. And that's being said from a guy that read the book.
Re: Skyfall is the title of Bond 23
lol, I've honestly heard this movie is a major reason why he called it quits. Any merit to that claim? I mean it definitely sucked, big time, but phew. He must really hate it.dsheinem wrote:Boo. Bring Connery back.
