Bond Film Irritations
#1
Posted 20 November 2007 - 10:39 PM
Here are some of my irritations...
1. The woman's hands at the start of the Goldfinger title sequence. Her hands look like they belong to a Rugby player. Not pretty at all - the pinky looks like it's been broken a couple of times.
2. The slide whistle in the middle of one of the world's greatest film stunts (the barrel roll in TMWTGG).
3. The fact that the circle of film with Bond walking out never quite matched the circle in the gunbarrel cutout in the early gunbarrel sequences. Is it really THAT hard to make them match up?
4. For that matter, Connery's wobble in his gunbarrel sequence kindof irritates me.
5. The little hop in the pre-Connery gunbarrel sequences.
6. Sheriff Pepper (in both films).
What are some of your LITTLE irritations - your little pet pieves?

-That some of the vehicle chase scenes go on so long they lose my attention.
-The witless one-liners in the Brosnan era.

Koskov not getting killed on screen in TLD
Slide whistle in TMWTGG
Blofeld not being shown clearly dead at the end of DAF
Graves being the bad guy in DAD, rather than a Korean actor.

The big irritations are pretty universal. It's harder to pick little pet peeves, but here we go:-
Koskov not getting killed on screen in TLD
Slide whistle in TMWTGG
Blofeld not being shown clearly dead at the end of DAF
Graves being the bad guy in DAD, rather than a Korean actor.
Hey, Dave Bond, I did a fun edit on my computer where I cut out the scene where he jumps out of the truck and the end result is "BOOM!", it looks just like he was killed in the truck and never got out. Much more dramatic and he had it coming.

Halle Berry's mouthful in DAD.
If you were to say Halle Berry's mouthful before DAD you would have been referring to my .... ah nevermind.

Doesn't she qualify as a big irritation?

Normally yes, but since that movie is filled with so many irritations, I'd have to say they all dilute themselves in potency, therefore making her only a minor irritation.

Yuck. Could've only been worse if he had a mullet.

I thought he was channeling Dalton with that.
LOL @ the broken finger and moustache.
When Connery is swimming around with that goofy looking jetpack in Thunderball like he's Admiral Aquaman or Dudley Do-right of the Seas and the yellow bubbles look like toxic waste being released.
Or when the scientist is untying Domino while explaining he only did what he was told to do, this exposition just seems really forced.

I totally agree. Awful line, badly delivered. Yuck!Renard being such a letdown after a great build up in TWINE.
