Granted you get alzheimer's. 

 

 

I wish we could use Bond copyrighted material as our profile pictures. At least it seems like it would be sweet. 

[The Dove]

Granted...We are allowed to use Bond copyrighted material for our profile pictures....but at a nominal charge of $7.50 per picture and each picture can only be used for a week before permissions expire and you have to pay another $7.50 for another picture.

 

 

I wish that The Beatles would have been able to do one of the classic Bond theme songs back in the '60s..

[seawolfnyy]

Granted, they do Goldfinger. However, the success propels them to even more stardom faster than they already had and their egos take over much earlier. Thus, they break up in 1965, long before anyone had ever heard the name Yoko Ono.

 

 

I wish the Yankees didn't have so many injuries this year.

[AMC Hornet]

Granted - but half the team gets suspended for steroid abuse.

 

I wish I weren't so clumsy lately.

[seawolfnyy]

Granted - but half the team gets suspended for steroid abuse.

I think that's about to happen anyway lol.

 

Granted, you take so many precautions to not be clumsy that you lock yourself in your house and only communicate with a penny, a chip and a used napkin.

 

 

I wish for Hideo Kojima to create a James Bond video game.

[S K Y F A L L]

Granted but its obviously just made up off table scraps left over from Metal Gear.

 

I wish Mendes and company can find away to get another jump suit in Bond 24.

[The Dove]

Granted....James Bond is seen taking Kung Fu lessons in Bond 24 in which he sports a yellow and black track suit, very similiar to the one Bruce Lee wore in his final, unfinished film, Game of Death.

 

I wish that Michael Cain would make a cameo in Bond 24 in which he is seen driving a Rolls through London which sports the custom licence plate, "WAYNE 1"

[glidrose]

Granted, but it's this Michael Cain. The producers like him so much they cast him as Craig's replacement.

 

Sadly Michael Caine with an "e" never appears in a Bond film.

 

I wish the producers would do another sting-in-the-tail ending which were common pre 1977. Let's see... FRWL, GF, OHMSS, DAF, LALD, TMWTGG all have them. TLD had one in the script though not the actual film.

[S K Y F A L L]

Granted Bond 24 has such an ending but you can see it coming a mile away and is more comical like DAF's. 

 

I wish Bond 24 was coming out in 2014 and just as good as if it came out in 2015 as planned. 

[Walecs]

Granted, but the script is rushed, and the result is a movie with lots of plot-holes.

 

I wish Brosnan did at least one more Bond movie.

[AMC Hornet]

Granted - it turns out there was one early, forgotten Fleming short story published in Argosy magazine that was never optioned by Eon and the rights are bought by a combine made up of Mike Myers, Sacha Baron Cohen and the Wayans Bros. Pierce is happy to come aboard as he knows that any competition will be sticking it to Barbara and Michael.

The resulting script makes Charles Feldman's 1967 Casino Royale look positively coherent and compelling. With Kevin James and Larry the Cable Guy cast as villains, the film proves to be a hit with everyone who loved Goldmember, Borat, Scary Movie 3, Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Health Inspector...combined. It comes out a month before B24 and grosses over $2 billion, but also leaves the general public believing that this was B24, leaving no audience for Craig's 4th outing which - despite being artistically stupendous - bombs, putting Eon out of business. The remaining film rights are then bought up by the Myers/Cohen/Wayans combine, and they go on to produce a string of redneck 007 films starring Steven Seagal. 

 

Sometimes I hate myself.

 

I wish I wasn't able to think of such atrocious scenarios...

Forgot your wish...

Granted, but that way you wouldn't have fantasy, and that would make you dull.

I wish You Only Live Twice got a faitfhul adaptation as Craig's last movie.

Cheers, Walecs.

[seawolfnyy]

Granted, but it replaces Skyfall and Skyfall is erased from the Bond canon.

 

 

 

I wish PS4/X1 have a new James Bond game in development that will blow all previous Bond games out of the water and has absolutely nothing to do with 007 Legends.

[The Dove]

Granted.....but it turns out to be a 007 pinball game, sort of like Baby Pac-Man was....

 

 

I wish that I hadn't gotten sunburned, despite putting on sunblock, at the beach in Tampa last week...

[glidrose]

Granted, instead you got a really nasty case of ice cream burn. You bite into something really cold and get that pain in your forehead.

 

I wish I didn't have to ask somebody to finish for me because of never knowing what to wish for.

[S K Y F A L L]

Granted you don't play the game at all. 

 

I wish Bond 20 was released in 2001 and Brosnan returned for a 5th Bond film in Bond 21 on the 40th Anniversary in 2002. So filmed back to back. 

[seawolfnyy]

Granted, Die Another Day is split into 2 films, with each being even worse than it is now as the producers create some psycho non-sense babble to fill in the extra 2 hours of footage.

 

 

 

I wish Diamonds Are Forever had a better story that continued the arc from On Her Majesty's Secret Service throughout the whole film, instead of just the title sequence.

[The Dove]

Granted... an alternative storyline for "Diamonds.." involves Bond discovering that the Tracy he rescued from Piz Gloria and married, turns out to be a clone created by Blofeld's mud bath cloning technology (sort of like Dr. Noah's clones in CR'67) and that the real Tracy is still alive somehow, somewhere..The end of Diamonds has Bond driving off into the sunset as he continues his quest to find her, a la the end of Empire Strikes Back when Lando and Chewie fly off to rescue Han Solo from Jaba the Hutt..

 

I wish that Sam Mendes would make an on-screen cameo in Bond 24, sort of how Martin Campbell did in Goldeneye (one of the mountain bike riders) and Casino Royale (the airport fuel tanker driver who has his neck broken by Carlos)...

[seawolfnyy]

Granted, he plays Bond's housekeeper who only appears for a few seconds as Bond 24 is told in real-time from the time Bond wakes up at 6 am until he leaves for work.

 

 

 

I wish Bond 24 to include more big action scenes, but nothing too OTT.

[S K Y F A L L]

Granted Bond 24 is action packed from start to the end but its 2 hours of Bond on a foot chase after the villain.

 

 

 

I wish I was a speed reader.

[glidrose]

Granted. You read speed (methamphetamine), horse (heroin), Mary Jane (marijuana). Unfortunately you get busted for possession. Careful in the showers!

I wish SKYFALL had remembered to add the apostrophe to "its".

[S K Y F A L L]

Granted they discover a cure for LD, suddenly Glidrose isn't that smart anymore, has no more reason to live And Mr. Glidrose here will have a small memorial service with only Moneypenny and a few tearful restaurateurs in attendance. Most importantly the forums flourish.

 

I wish that everybody could finish high school and get to go to college like I did or university and Glidrose pays for it.

Sensing a bit of a vibe here. If this glidrose is happy to play along, so be it, but please don't let it get out of hand.

[Walecs]

I wish you put a wish.

[Jim]

I wish you put a wish.

 

Good point. I wish it doesn't get out of hand.

Granted. It's the school of hard knocks. Free of charge so it costs me zilch.
 
I wish I knew what LD stood for. "Granted they discover a cure for LD..."

I wish you put a wish.

There's a self abuse riposte in there somewhere...
