Spend some money, for :( sakes! :) Get a life. Go out and get laid and then treat the girl to one awsome movie. A b.j. will be guaranteed after.


So that's why some call it QUANTUM OF SUCKAGE!

I must have been picking the wrong films all these years. Reminds me of when I inflicted no fewer than three big screen viewings of the same Stallone flick on a girlfriend. Needless to say, she ended up leaving me.

Yes, but did you get that first blood?!

So, as one suspected, you're just baiting people to get attention. Must be lonely in that bedsit... :(

I did bring a girl to this awsome move. The result was that I received no sexual favors.


Right idea, wrong pussy.

Quite.

Ok look, this nonsense of trying to pick a fight just for the sake of it is really beginning to wear thin. I joined these boards in 2006 because it was a place where everyone could go to pleasantly discuss all things James Bond. While people argued about the pros and cons of what they were discussing, I don't recall anyone ever insulting another member for having a polarizing viewpoint. This website is a lot of fun, and provides a lot of good discussion for when we have some downtime in our lives. If you're so upset about the new film that you feel the need to insult another to ease the pain, take it out on your stuffed kitty Mr. Snuffles so that you can simply argue and state your points on here. Please, this is CBn. 'Nuf said.

I love the Bond series as does everyone else. Casino Royal was made for Bond fans, and not for the 14-16 year olds who just got through watching the Transformers. Obviously, Marc Forester wanted to appeal to those non-Bond fans and made in essence, Transporter 4. Bond running around shooting for 100 minutes is a Bad Brosnan Bond movie (was there ever a good one?) without the world domination plot. I agreed that this should have been a revenge movie, but let’s have some substance please. This was not even on par with License to Kill.

Exotic locations? Yes, the slums of Peru were wonderfully shot. Forster was able to make Italy look like Jersey City. Good job. I heard such wonderful thing about the famous opera house in Austria. Too bad Marc was not able to capture its beauty. If you’re going to give me non stop no plot action, make it visually stimulating.

Why bring in an art house director to make an action movie? He added nothing to the series. I hear rumors that Michael Bay is going to direct a remake of Pride and Prejudice. Why not? Forster thought he could direct action.

True Bond fans should be insulted by this mess.


My thoughts exactly. I went in to see the movie and thought it would be fairly good though probably not a great Bond movie. Instead it was far worse than I could have imagined. And the Transporter movies are better [at least you can SEE the action].

Okay, I think we can all agree that our thread starter does not speak for all Bond fans. Despite his repeated attempts to do so.

Some like the film. Some don’t. We agree to disagree (or at least I do).

Thread closed.
