[Quantumofsolace007]

I was mnarly using a director who I've seen a few different films of. That and I literally had just finnished watching the usual suspects like 10 minutes before I posted that. (I still say havering the head of Quantum be similar to Keyser Soze would be amazing)

I'm not championing Singer (not yet anyways let him be rumoured first)

Anyways I am going to see Road to Perdition at some point.


I am optamistic about Mendes but I will confess it's because of what people I trust say rather then my own opnion. But I do trust people like Zorin and others on here who say Mendes Directed bond film will be good and right up my alley given more time it will be because of what i saw in Road to perdidtion.

[DamnCoffee]

ah i see Thanks byline

Hey if I get extra money my way Road to perdition I will see irregardless of Mendes directing Bond. (his involvement in bond only means i will bump it up my list of films I want to see rather then wait)



I do want to bring in a director Mharkin hates but I actually enjoy (ocasionally)

If it were announced instead of Mendes Brian Singer was tapped to direct bond 23 I can see clearly the benefit of understanding his CV to be able to argue Why this is a good thing and why this won't be die another day part 2 (actually if Singer directed I would imagine his bond film would be like The Living Daylights or a slightly darker Casino royale still bond and fun to watch but with a level of suspense) Superman returns wasn't great and i still haven't checked out Valkeryie but The Usual Suspects (which I showed my gf tonight, I still get chills at the end) there is a film one needs to see if Singer or Spacey (who underplayed his role so well it made the film that much more amazing) is every seriously metioned for bond. I can only Assume that if I were more knowledgeable about Mendes I'd argue for Road to perdition to be on everyone's viewing list.


I can see Zorin's point a lot more clearly any Singer bond 23 rumours would be lost by those who haven't seen the usual suspects.

Oh and Mharkin watch the usual suspects and then tell me Singer is a bad director I dare you to, valkyre I'd blame more on tom Cruise's over acting (prevlant in the trailers) then anything else I hate Superman so returns just would annoy me no matter who directed it and as for Xmen they are popcorn summer films not meant to be taken seriously Singer did what he could.


BTW it's late and I'm tired I looked this over for typos once through I'll check it again tommorow Please Don't point out any glareing errors (though I know you will) thanks

I didn't even mention that Singer was a bad director in the first place, so I have no idea why you're using me as an example. As for the typos, I'll keep correcting your posts until you bloody sort your grammar out.

Thanks.

Tisk.

Anyway, Sam Mendes. What's with the face fuzz?

[bondrules]

I'm a fan of the Xmen franchise. And yes, I thought (Rattner's) X3 was entertaining, even if it wasn't on par with the first 2 installments. As far as having Singer as a possible director for any Bond movie, I would have to reject that idea with extreme disapproval.

Adventurous use of the apostrophe there, Matthew.

Everyone can play this game, tedious though it may be.

[Quantumofsolace007]

I don't correct people's grammer cause mine usualy is so bad and even if mine was perfect It's the internet Half these posts are done during or after long stressfull days. I care more of content then spelling and grammar. Case in Point I would appreciate Zorin's posts even if his posts were filled with spelling mistakes same with the like of Jim or Tdalton or my other friends on this board whom I look foward to hearing their thoughts and ideas on the latest news or rumour.


Anyhoo Mharkin look at your comments for "who should be the next bond director" to see where I got the impression you don't like him.

Also I'm while i'm easily pleased i'm also easily annoyed learn that.

[MattofSteel]

Singer's done some phenomenal work in his time, and, conversely been at the helm of some major disappointments.

Not to take anything away from his obvious talent and skill - I feel like his sensibilities and style would make him a terrible choice for Bond.

Well said regarding post content.

While we've had disagreements (as has everyone on these boards, no doubt) or differences in opinion, I value your posts and look forward to them. There's not many on the boards that are as enthusiastic about the franchise as you are, and I commend you for that.

I also find it quite hilarious that a post that is criticizing your grammar happens to contain a grammatical error.

In that case please edit your above post to remove the incorrect capitalisation along with the poor wording of the second 'sentence'.

Don't worry- I will then edit my post to reflect your corrections and the imperfect grammar will be our little secret.

[bond 16.05.72]

While I can't say Singer is anywhere near my top choice (or even my choice at all) to direct Bond, I disagree that he's a poor director. I thought his two X-Men films were pretty good, leaps and bounds better than Ratner's third X film, and while it's not something I'd see again, there was nothing inherently wrong with Superman either.

I'll agree that his two X-Men films were better than Ratner's third film, but I still thought that they're pretty bad on their own. Valkyrie, however, is the main culprit. Just terrible on every level.

I'd really like to know what is so bad about this film, terrible on every level how so?

Singer's an American and most unlikely to direct a Bond film but Usual Suspects still remains one of the best thrillers of last 20 years.

I don't see why you're all having a go at me for, I'm not the one typing like a demented ape. Imagine logging on here, every single bloody day to see that in your face. Countless times, he has been asked politely to sort his grammar out, and still, he's typing like a four year old.

It makes the forum look really untidy. I typed like that when I first joined, and I remember getting loads of complaints about it. I sat down one day, and said to myself. "Look, If I want to be on this forum, I'm going to have to sort this out." and guess what!? You can read my posts.

Dunno what the hell your problem is, tdalton. Am I not Fleming enough for you?

No.

Let's please bring this pointless argument to a close.

[DamnCoffee]

That's fine by me, Qwerty.

I've made my point, and voiced my feelings and opinions, now I won't mention it again.

[Athena007]

Tdalton and Mharken why don't neither of you respond to each other in defense of yourself, it's not worth it. I'm sure you have much more enjoyable things to do. Whoever continues to force the argument will be dealt with accordingly.

I'm pretty sure tdalton owns stock in the company.

I agree. Lucas once said that the 2nd Indiana Jones feature was dark because he was in the middle of a divorce at the time...

[danslittlefinger]

From a UK tabloid re: Kate and Sam's split.

"The statement was issued after the actress flew to Mexico with the children while Mendes was with friends in New England. His Bridge Project theatre company had finished productions in New York of Shakespeare's The Tempest and As You Like It on Saturday night.
A source close to Mendes explained the break-up by saying: 'He became bored working on his latest theatrical project, and he took that boredom home with him. And that led to the spark being taken out of their marriage.'"


So maybe this is time for Sam to throw himself 'officially" into another "not boring" project to take his mind off things and to take the publicity off his split.

I really fancy Kate. I think she's luverly!

Not necessarily. Remember Sam Mendes is not George Lucas. People handle situations differently. It is possible that because Mendes is going through a dark personal time, he might want to make his next project a little more fun as not to add too much darkness into his life. Of course the opposite could be true. We just don't know.

Hopefully, he'll turn that darkness into an intense, cold Bond adventure.

[Jim]

If Mendes can't manage a marriage, why would anyone think that he could manage a production as large as a Bond film?



Because they're completely different things? This James Cameron seems to be incacpable of being married but turned out OK. The logic that if one isn't much good at sewing one must also be deemed rubbish at reading a bus timetable is a bit odd, y'know.
