I typed the first thing that came to mind.

Clint Eastwood in Where Eagles Dare:
"Thanks...that just makes it worse."

[thecasinoroyale]

I wish Clint Eastwood would appear in a Bond film...!

[The Dove]

Granted...but he only has a brief cameo in Bond 24 in which 007 walks into a club where Clint is seen playing poker wearing a name tag, "H.Callahan"...the gentleman sitting across from him, whose face we never see, is an elderly, balding man with a deep Scotts accent...take a guess at who that might be...*wink, wink*!

I wish I could have a Vesper martini, or two, right about now...

[The Dove]

Hmm.. I seemed to have killed the momentum in this thread....I wish someone would get it re-started.. LOL!

[Eric Stromberg]

Granted! But since you work at Cheyenne Mountain the Chinese and Russians launch ballistic missiles into the US, and when you fall asleep at your scope, the result is much worse than Red Dawn...

I wish the Bond franchise would bring back the evil Dr. Stromberg as a villain.\

[thecasinoroyale]

Granted! He's a floating head in a big glass jar kept alive with wires and electrodes in Bond 25.

I wish they would re-invent the Jaws character for a future Daniel Craig Bond film.

[AMC Hornet]

Granted! He's played by Kenny Baker, and is more evocative of Nick Nack than Richard Kiel.

I wish for EON to continue to create new 007 adventures, and not give in to the fanboys who whinge for rehashing of old characters, gadgets, etc.

[The Dove]

Granted...but with each new Bond fim, EON cut out more and more of the familiar Bond aspects..the anger and discontent continues to rise among Bond fans and ticket sales plummet. In the end , Bond 55 only makes a grand total of $500 at the box office...thus endith the series in humiliating fashion.

I wish.. EON would make some sort of press announcement confirming the FULL cast list with character names so that people won't have to risk getting into trouble by posting leaked call sheets and such.

[Nicolas Suszczyk]

Granted. But you never learn about it because your PC, mobile, iPod, TV is all broken. And you don't have enough money to but the newspaper.

I wish I had more time to read all about Skyfall.

[thecasinoroyale]

Granted!! You manage to find time to read the shooting cast, crew and the whole script over the weekend, thus ruining the cinematic experience of 'Skyfall' for you and taking away every ounce of excitement and surprise you wanted.



I wish that James Bond lives forever...!

[AMC Hornet]

Granted: He endures so long that he becomes public domain, and appears in another League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie with Nero Wolfe, Sam Spade, Matt Helm, Derek Flint, Maxwell Smart and Modesty Blaise. As this is at least fifty years from now, the writers either don't realize or assume the audience won't know that - like with the original film - all these characters are not necessarily contemporaries. The story is just as well-written as LoEG 1, just as cohesive, just as entertaining and therefore just as big a flop. 007 survives this setback, however, and appears in a kid's 1/2 hour Saturday morning series originally intended to reintroduce Agent 86, but the writers got confused about who was who.

(Wakes up, wipes sweat off forehead and swears never to eat perogies and kolbassa after midnight ever again.)

I wish I could resist peeking at every report about Skyfall that comes along...

Edited by AMC Hornet, 18 March 2012 - 11:04 PM.

[thecasinoroyale]

Haha!

Granted...you manage to resist so well that your excitement about 'Skyfall' eventually diminishes and you find it hard to get worked up for the fim's release. You opt to wait for the DVD release and spend your cinema money on 'Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2' over and over again instead which you defect to following the breaking news and gossip more than Bond.


I wish that we had some classic James Bond action figures/models for the the 50th Anniversary spaning all the films for collection.

[The Dove]

Granted...but EON and Corgi, or whoever produces the action figures, end up disappointing us by ONLY releasing figures of NON-consequential characters from each film era..Examples: Connery era: The drunken man who offers Bond and Largo's men a sip of his rum from Thunderball...Lazenby era: The fellow from the ticket booth selling admission tickets to the ice skaters at the rink where Bond is rescued by Tracy...Moore era: The old geezer who drives that oyster truck at 3 mph while the police chase goes on in LALD.. Dalton era: The couple driving the truck full of pineapples who almost collide with the two tanker trucks in LTK...Brosnan era: Vlad from Die Another Day (LOL!!)...Craig era: Elvis from QoS!!

I wish that we would get some official confirmation or denial soon about the rumor that all six 007s would be appearing at the Skyfall premiere..

[Jaws0178]

Granted, this just in from EON Productions world Headquarters in Sioux Falls, Sd. All six Bond actors (including Daniel Craig) will NOT be appearing for the Skyfall premiere. However, representatives from each era will be appearing in their place. Representing the Connery era: the horse who was "better bred than his owner" from Goldfinger, representing the Lazenby era: the concierge from On her Majesty's secret Service, representing the Moore era: the double taking pigeon from Moonraker, representing the Dalton era: the stuffed swordfish from License to Kill, representing the Brosnan era: Peaceful Fountains of Desire, the masseuse from Die Another Day, and representing the Craig era: the washcloset handle from Quantum of Solace. Unfortunately, due to a scheduling conflict, the actors will be attending the premiere for Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2. We hope you enjoy this official bit of news, and as always, thank you for supporting the Bond franchise for the past 50 years.

i wish I knew where my damn wallet is at.

[glidrose]

Granted. It's in my hands. Let's see what you got. (riffles through wallet) Damn cheapskate. You only have a ten in here. Last time I pick your pocket.

Hey, wait a minute everybody.... look what our own Jaws has in his wallet


Hey Jaws, since I'm such a swell guy I'll give you your membership card back. I'm keeping the ten.

I wish Jaws takes my jab at him in good humor.

[thecasinoroyale]

Granted! He even left you a note to say he did...that's what the police hand to you after finding it pinned to his body found hanging by a Roger Moore 007 neck-tie after you pushed and pushed him over the edge...!


I wish that we get some more official pictures from 'Skyfall' in the next week...

[The Dove]

Granted...two pictures are released...Pic #1 is of an empty Starbucks coffee cup, which came from one of the crew on location shooting in London and Pic #2 is of a Mars bar wrapper which again came from one of the crew, HOWEVER this time from location shooting at Skyfall Lodge on the moor.

I wish that the 1st official teaser poster for 'Skyfall' would be released this week..

[thecasinoroyale]

Granted! It's a cracked, grey stone effect with the words... 'Skyfall' written on, and 'Coming Soon'. That's it.


I wish that a character from the Roger Moore era comes into the Daniel Craig era, almost as a re-boot!

[glidrose]

Granted! One of the LALD snakes makes a blink and you miss it cameo.

I wish my mind didn't draw a blank when I have to come up with a wish for this thread. Yeah, I know, not much of a wish.

Edited by glidrose, 19 March 2012 - 08:21 PM.

[Conlazmoodalbrocra]

Granted, your mind is full of all sorts of interesting things, but you are no longer able to type.

I wish the girl who I've been obsessing over since October would agree to go on a date with me.

[glidrose]

Granted! When hell freezes over.

I wish our member S K Y F A L L would learn the rules of the ABC game and stop leading with the wrong letter.

[Nicolas Suszczyk]

Granted. But he forgets the rules of copyright permissions and starts posting full OST mp3, all the 22 movies in DivX format, plus copyrighted stills and exclusive Skyfall content, and the mods are too busy to delete them/reply to EON's warnings so CBn is closed forever.

I wish I could do EVERY document exchange correctly in every attorney's studios I go so my boss' daughter wouldn't tell me off never ever in my life.

[The Dove]

Granted...you never make another mistake again with document exchanges with the attorney's.. As a result, your boss's daughter falls in love with you and you are forced to get married...your boss is now your father in-law!! ...

I wish that there will be some kind of special 'Skyfall' tie ins with the London Olympics this summer (I would expect that there could very well be as part of the 50th anniversary..)

[thecasinoroyale]

(Me too Dove!)


Granted! When the Olympic Torch is brought into the Stadium for the opening ceremony, Moby's 'James Bond Theme' is played full whack, and a big firework display and stunt show with Jaguar cars and helecoptersappear in the stadium, to wild cheers, escorting the runner to the legendary podium with the flame.

A big banner unfolds revealing "50 Years Of Putting 'Great' In 'Britain'" to more wild cheers. An LED screen lights up with the teaser trailer for 'Skyfall' playing, letting the world know that James Bond is back, and keeping Britain and the world save once more!

The runner approaches the torch as the music comes to a climax, the stunt cars roar still, but a hovering helecopter above is too close and the rotor blades suddenly extinguishes the Olympic Torch. The crowd goes silent, the world watches as the flame, carried for over 100 days is smouldering. Pierce Brosnan's "Bond, James Bond" echoes across the world...and suddenly boos unfold louder and louder and the world wakes up to the headlines : "James Bond Team Wipe Out Olympic Dream", "00-Snub Out!" and "James Bond Embarrases London's Olympic Legacy".

'Skyfall' bombs at the box-office and there is wound that takes a long time to heal thanks to James Bond appearing at the 2012 Olympics.



I wish that Daniel Craig helps the 'Make Britain Great' campaign for the summer, boosting the appeal of the country's treasures for the Olympic run.

[Nicolas Suszczyk]

Granted...you never make another mistake again with document exchanges with the attorney's.. As a result, your boss's daughter falls in love with you and you are forced to get married...your boss is now your father in-law!! ...

Heaven forbid! BTW, you should say "mother-in-law", my boss is a woman.

I wish that Daniel Craig helps the 'Make Britain Great' campaign for the summer, boosting the appeal of the country's treasures for the Olympic run.

Granted. He dresses as a woman again during the campaign.

I wish I had A LOT more time to study for this Thursday History exam, AND more time to tune up with all the Skyfall news!

[The Dove]

Granted!! To save time you combine your History exam studying with your Skyfall news browsing...unfortunately you end up putting down several Skyfall related answers on your exam. Sadly, your professor doesn't happen to be a Bond fan and gives you a failing mark on your test...(best of luck on your exam by the way!)

I wish..that Denise Richards had NOT been cast in The World Is Not Enough...in fact, I wish the whole Christmas Jones character would have been axed in favor of a better developed female lead..

[glidrose]

Granted. Denise Richards is cast in every subsequent Bond film as series lead Jane Bond. As for the better developed female lead, the fates misunderstand your request and cast someone from this list. Hey, Chelsea Charms as Dr. Christmas Jones.

I wish it were perfectly legal to hit unionized government "workers".

Edited by glidrose, 26 March 2012 - 08:38 PM.

[Nicolas Suszczyk]

Granted. But they're also legally autorized to hit you... and they're all judo black belts!

I wish they wouldn't send me to the West side of the Buenos Aires province in my job and all I get is the downtown and, occasionally, San Isidro.

[glidrose]

Granted. They also send you to the FALKLAND ISLANDS. That's right, FALKLAND ISLANDS.

I don't know what to wish for. Somebody make a wish on my behalf.

Edited by glidrose, 28 March 2012 - 12:13 AM.

[The Dove]

Ok glidrose...on your behalf..

I wish that we would get some more concrete evidence that Bond 24 is indeed being planned for 2014...(yes we know Sony has a deal in place, but it would be nice to hear a tidbit of something like "Purvis and Wade have already begun planning story ideas"...or something to that effect.)
