Some of the posts on here are just fun speculation posts. I don't want rumours to be denied or confirmed at the moment, I just want to discuss them. It kinda spoils the party to have someone suddenly reply - No you're all wrong. It's like popping a kid's balloon at a party and telling them "Well, it was only going to deflate anyway".
I asked ZI in this thread: (http://debrief.comma...pic=55626&st=90) "Do you go around telling 6 year old kids that there's no such thing as Santa Claus? Just curious." and Mr.Blofeld unleashed a barrage of inflammatory rhetoric at me, calling me a "miser" and "pathetic" among other things (I suspect he received no warning from the moderators, but perhaps I am wrong).
But I go back to my original point which is that Zorin Industries has a habit of trying to shoot down every person's theory or speculation as being wrong or uninformed or ignorant, but he can't provide any facts to back up his claims or refute yours because he's taken a blood oath of secrecy with Michael G. Wilson or made a pinkie-promise with Barbara not to reveal insider information....who knows? Who cares? I'm still waiting on Zorin Industries to provide me with the relevant factual data that shows there is a bigger individual market for a major motion picture other than The United States.
As for BOND 23...who are you going to believe? Judi Dench....or Zorin Industries?
This is a fan's forum, yes? Then all sorts of fans (even little old me) can say exactly what they want. I am sorry that a bit of perspective and reality shoots down a few people who have their hearts set on this and that about a future film that as of right now doesn't have a financial big brother to lead it across the road into the cinemas. But I am getting a bit irate at your tone across ALL the threads you contribute to Mr Silhouette.
I simply cannot argue or debate with anyone who labels films what he wants to call them when he doesn't like them, ignores wider insight as it erodes what he wants to believe and then is quite catty and rude to people (and not just me) who try to set a few records straight from the standpoint of their professional lives, experience and first hand awareness of how James Bond and other films are brought to the big screens.
I am cagey and do not make deeper suggestions / provide insights on CBN about some of the things I know / have heard / been privy to when it comes to James Bond films as you are one of the least welcoming and most bullish individuals on CBN. Why on earth would anyone want to share a bit more insight about where they are coming from.
I do not give a toss that you have made it your mission in the last few weeks to pour scorn on who or what I know - as well as call into question the validity of what I suggest and want to steer the discussion sometimes towards. People that know me personally (and that includes some CBN members past and present) know full well that I am not some cyber-charlatan without a clue. I tried to message you privately to try and discuss with you away from the forums where I am coming from and try to build some bridges and confidence and you not only failed to answer (which is entirely up to you by all means), but you have also continued to pile on bitchy comments about ages old threads about films that are to all intents and purposes bits of fluffy entertainment that - at the end of the day - I really don't care THAT much about.
I would also ask you to stop pouring scorn on Zorin Industries in relation to Eon Productions. I don't raise allusions to the personnel within it on CBN for any other reason than perspective in the usually very general discussions that do the rounds (eg. LICENCE TO KILL was not a flop film period... and I have suggested the countless reasons why but you choose to ignore them - that is your choice of course, but that limits the debate about Bond films on CBN to little more than "it must be true because IMDB and such and such a website said so"...).
In the instance of this thread....
Judi Dench has not made an official statement about BOND 23. She responded to some middling queries that she no doubt gets all the time from dullard journos. If some Bond followers want to read into that that they know the title, running time and cast list that is their standpoint to raise. Mine would be the exact opposite.
Zorin Industries has a habit of trying to shoot down every person's theory or speculation as being wrong or uninformed or ignorant, but he can't provide any facts to back up his claims or refute yours because he's taken a blood oath of secrecy with Michael G. Wilson or made a pinkie-promise with Barbara not to reveal insider information....who knows? Who cares?
You clearly do because you are the one that keeps musing upon what might or might not be and continues to bring it up.
