There was a movie named Octopussy
I like that, even in-universe, in 1964, Bond's first reaction to that name is "I must be dreaming". So it's not like the filmmakers weren't aware of how absurd that name is. They just didn't give a shit.
And is where Austin Powers got the idea for Alotta Fagina
Dixie Normous
And Ivana Humpalot
How about the twins?
Fook Mi and Fook Yu.
You're on your way to a smack-bottom, and I don't care who knows it!
Twins, Basil.
Sometimes I wonder if all the James Bonds are the same person, or if "James Bond" is like "The Dread Pirate Roberts".
Poor fella lost his wife on his wedding day. He has loads of trama of his own.
And this is why I'm not bothered by Amazon taking it over.
James Bond has always been bizarre with tone. Each Bond is different. As long as they're not as Bourne-y as Craig's then I'll be fine. But them stealing bonds quips and gadgets and women... The fuck? You made British Jason Bourne with more trauma and less of an ability to cope with it.
As long as they're not as Bourne-y as Craig's…
Yeah. The Venn diagram of good Bond has a bit of Austin Powers and Inspector Gadget overlap, not Bourne.
Craig was more like the Bond books I thought? A few of the earlier ones like On Her Majesty's Secret Service followed the books, but the rest were way out there. I don't think I've seen any of the Craig films all the way through though. I saw part of one on TV.
The Craig films certainly showed the more cold, gritty side of Bond that was portrayed in the books, but that wasn't really the intent of the earlier films. The earlier films were made more lighthearted and fun on purpose, really only following the books for the basic story. Even Brosnan's Bond still kept a bit of the whimsical nature to an extent, though they certainly were catering to the 90s action audience. Craig's Brosnan more crossed into psychological thriller in my opinion, and I wasn't too big on them.
What do you get if you overlap the other three? deadpool maybe
A different tone isn't what we should be worried about, it's that they'll turn it into Russo brothers shit like Citadel. The only reason Fallout was good is because it's Nolan/Joy in charge.
Moonraker.
Your argument is invalid.
Being shit is sort of part of Bond tradition
Edit: This comment was meant to be jokey but re-reading it, that tone isn't really achieved.
My point was just that Bond movies have a series of being all over the place. I mean we have gotten a lot of insane bullshit in the past. And while the original movies were more 'serious', they also had way more camp and fun than the Craig ones do. I love the Craig ones for what they are but they're a very gritty take on Bond. I just hope it doesn't become the default.
Sure, but I'd rather watch an earnestly bad Moonraker than some algorithm driven streaming slop like The Tomorrow War or The Electric State. The argument isn't that all Bond movies are good, it's that modern blockbusters are empty.
And there are plenty of Bond movies that are empty. Tomorrow Never Dies is the first example that comes screaming into mind.
I just think you're all getting insanely defeatist about something that hasn't occured yet.
Oh my God, Becky...look at your butt.
