Quoting AerospaceFan (Reply 2): the Copyright Office proves its power over even the likes of Bond. |
Quoting AeroWesty (Reply 1): |
Quoting AerospaceFan (Reply 4): By the way, the history behind the evolution and divergence of property rights pertaining to Fleming's work must be rather intriguing. |
Quoting Homer71 (Reply 5): I'm looking forward to Casino Royale - it's supposed to be faithful to the novel (with 21st century updates) and more gritty, with no CGI that marred the last couple with Brosnan. |
Quoting AerospaceFan (Reply 6): I'm interested in your comments about Casino Royale -- particularly about the infamy of the torture scene. I didn't know about that. |
Quoting DeltaRules (Reply 8): Is there any truth to the story that the card game that Bond & Le Chiffre play in the movie is going to be Texas Hold 'Em Poker, and not Baccarat as was in the novel? I hope it's not true. |
Quoting Homer71 (Reply 9): Unfortunately, it is reported to be true, but it's all about marketing: Texas Hold 'Em is still popular, and it's a way to attract non-Bond fans... |
Quoting L-188 (Reply 12): Auric Goldfinger was a better villian |
Quoting Airwave (Reply 13): I think two better Bond villians are Francesco Scaramanga ("The Man With the Golden Gun") |
Quoting Airwave (Reply 13): Alec Trevelyan. |
Quoting L-188 (Reply 14): Little too freindly to be a really scary villian besides he was a simple blackmailer |
Quoting L-188 (Reply 14): the little guy from "Fantasy Island" was scarrier. |
Quoting L-188 (Reply 14): Definately the best villian from the Peirce Brosnan era (He still should be doing it IMHO) |
Quoting L-188 (Reply 14): I have to give credit to Wayne Newton in his villianous sidekick role in "License to Kill" |
Quoting Airwave (Reply 17): I think his friendliness was always part of his image of himself--he believed he was a gentleman and (over)acted the part. |
Quoting Homer71 (Reply 15): Christopher Walken made a nice comical villain in an otherwise dreadful A View to a Kill: |
Quoting Homer71 (Reply 15): Christopher Walken made a nice comical villain in an otherwise dreadful A View to a Kill: After disposing a businessman (who wanted out of a deal) from his blimp at FL300, he asked the other corporate-types, "So, does anyone else want to drop out?" |
Quoting Airwave (Reply 7): Yup, a lot of it is all over the place; though I do believe concerted efforts have been made to bring a good portion of it under one roof--don't know how successful that's been, though, lol. |
Quoting AeroWesty (Reply 1): Blofeld and SPECTRE are supposedly still very much alive, just not appearing in a film near you due to copyright issues. |
Quoting AerospaceFan (Thread starter): or whether you are looking forward to the next Bond, etc |
Quoting Airwave (Reply 13): Francesco Scaramanga ("The Man With the Golden Gun") |
Quoting AirbusA346 (Reply 22): Why what is the copyright issue? |
Quoting AirbusA346 (Reply 22): Why what is the copyright issue? |
Quoting AerospaceFan (Reply 21): As far as whether Blofeld is "really" dead, ... It may never be able to be resolved. |
Quoting N1120A (Reply 23): Scaramanga was great, but I loved the crazy voodoo man from "Live and Let Die" |
Quoting RichardPrice (Reply 25): The character has never died in any of the books or films. |
Quoting AerospaceFan (Reply 26): However, I reserve final judgment, since I haven't seen the first Bond movie with the new guy. |
Quoting Homer71 (Reply 5): more gritty, with no CGI that marred the last couple |
Quoting Airwave (Reply 10): I guess we can expect him to be driving a gas-conscious hybrid and start ordering vodka and Red Bull... |
Quoting L-188 (Reply 28): I thought it sucked when they got him the P99 instead of the PPK. |
Quote:
The P99 is, in a sense, the next generation of PPKs and I think from that standpoint it's what we would expect Bond to carry. |
