[Mr. Blofeld]

I think certain members need a banhammer applied; the conduct on here by these certain, regardless of how long they've been on these boards, has been outrageous.

Admins, please do the right thing.

It is true that QoS did have a big drop off and critics, fans and the public did not like it as much as CR, but it still sold a heck of alot of seats and was a box office success (it does not matter how much the film cost, it still sold alot of tickets). Bond was about the only success that MGM had, and they had to split the profits of the 2 Craig films with co-distributor Sony. No studio is afraid to throw money at Bond, that is why Sony was so eager to be the distributor for Bond 23.

As I said earlier, I'm not criticizing you for not liking the Craig era, I'm criticizing you for distorting the facts to support your opinion.

Nobody (except you) is calling the Craig era a flop.

I am not calling the Craig era a flop, but I am calling the economic performance of Quantum of Solace a disappointment.

Re: MGM getting into financial trouble.

That goes back to the complicated deal where MGM was purchased by a group with a lot of borrowed money. So that ownership started out with a lot of debt ($3.7 billion shows up in most of the stories written about MGM's situation). Then, DVD prices fell. That hurt incoming revenue. The New York Times did a story saying MGM was worth much less because of the DVD issue. When the studio was put up for sale, potential buyers didn't offer enough to cover the debt. There were reports, for example, that Time Warner offered about $1.5 billion for MGM.

That's why MGM ended up doing a more complicated transaction, where Spyglass Entertainment's co-founders took control without buying MGM outright, MGM did the pre-packaged bankruptcy, with debt holders getting equity, etc., etc, etc.

Re: financial performance of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.

According to this Web site: http://www.the-numbe...s/JamesBond.php

The two films had a similar gross. QoS did slightly better in the U.S. than CR, but CR had a slightly higher worldwide gross than QoS. However, the reported budget for Quantum was much higher, more than twice as much. Presumably, that meant lower profits overall; you're spending a lot more to get roughly the same amount of revenue. (Why QoS had to cost so much more is another issue; I'm not claiming to know).

Still, you can't say QoS's performance at the box office sunk MGM. The studio didn't have a lot of hits, and Quantum (regardless of one's opinion about it) was one of the few MGM could point to. MGM's basic financial structure (declining revenue, high debt) was the problem.

You are right Solo. One cannot blame MGM's financial problems solely on Quantum of Solace. I am just saying that the weak profit margins of Quantum of Solace does not help the matter.

[Shrublands]

I am just saying that the weak profit margins of Quantum of Solace does not help the matter.

What “weak profit margins”? You are aware that the bulk of the budget was offset by product placement and international TV pre-sales, no?

…and that’s the uncomplicated version. You’ve obviously seen some rule-of-thumb somewhere and think you know what your on about. You don’t.

Notice please, the way Sony are desperate for more of the same “weak profit margins”.

[Capsule in Space]

She has gone into the political realm now by maligning the UK's and USA's governments in QOS.

BJMDDS is exactly right and I would like to add to BJ's comment. Here we have a franchise that had considerable contributions from people who played a part in WWII either as veterans, or otherwise. Ian Fleming worked in intelligence. Roger Moore was an officer in the British military. Cubby Broccoli was in the U.S. Navy during WWII. Saltzman was in the Canadian Army and served in France during WWII. Director Terence Young drove tanks.

The list goes on and on. These patriots served and even fought for the U.S., the U.K, and other Western Allies. The Bond franchise was built by the Greatest Generation. These people made James Bond what it is, and when they were making it, there was no doubt who the good guys were. Now we have a privileged film heiress in control of a once great franchise and instilling moral equivalency arguments.

EON, please take a look at the headlines. Look at North Africa blowing up, look at the turmoil in the Middle East, look at the threats being made by the likes of North Korea. It should be very easy to figure out who is good and who is bad.

Let me give you a hint. In the 1940's two countries played an integral part in stopping the spread of fascism throughout Europe. These same two countries helped stop the spread of communism in Europe and throughout the world. The fictional character that provided your trust funds spies for one of these countries. The U.S. and the U.K. are good guys, EON. Please make a note of that. Furthermore, James Bond is a hero. Please depict him as one.

I agree completely. Anyone who calls another member "nuts" or "psychotic" should get at least a warning.

Maybe like calling someone a "nutjob" ?

[Chief of SIS]

I have nothing to add and risk being preachy but this is one of those topics that makes me loathe the internet. Not because the vast amount of opinions that are brought to light that may clash with my own but the way they are presented and handled. I am immensely glad that people are able to even attempt to have the challenging conversation of female inequality in regard to the many different forms it exists in. However, the problem with many forums across the internet is the way people attempt have a conversation. It is easy to enter your opinion in a text box without anyone interrupting you or you yourself even checking over your response. This I believe is the number one cause of off-topic posts. Incessant ramblings and soap box speeches that have to do with more than individual convictions than the topic at hand (I am at risk of it now).

This being said, I feel like I must personally urge the sensitivity of this topic and how it should be addressed from a personal standpoint. With such a vast community on this site it is ignorant to say that this topic does not directly relate to several posters in some way, shape, or form. This topic has become personal. We are not discussing Bond cars or martini recipes. These are grave topics.

Gravity, I respect your opinions. I do not agree with them but I respect them. With that being said (and you are not the sole example in this 9 pages of writing but merely the quickest example to access) posting a shocking image from a TIME magazine cover does little to contribute to the point you make. In essence it is the problem with this discussion as it is being conducted currently by some posters and that is in a manner of sensationalism. Many of us do not fully understand the vast injustices of the world which it makes it impossible to say someone is right or wrong but that does not mean it is not impossible to have this conversation without respect, dignity, and thoughtfulness. Those are three things I have seen lacking since this topic has started. I felt no need or place to say anything since this is merely a forum but I think this site is better than what has been happening on this topic in the last few days. And if I am able to even cause a moment of reflection during discussion then this has been worth my time. So as my personal reminder, please, everyone calm down and be consciousness of others.

[jaguar007]

It shows how low the franchise has sunk.

I for one certainly don't view this 2 min spot as part of the franchise. It is a one off ad and I suspect this will have about as much influence on the Bond series as that Brosnan Visa ad where he needed ID to write a check at the MI6 concession stand.

I think too many people are getting too upset at this and the lack of respect members are showing one another is getting very tiring.

I'm actually kind of surprised that a mod has not yet closed this thread.

[jaguar007]

It shows that he really wants to change his ways as Bond and really feels for the female sex.

A-ha!!!! Another admission, albeit unwittingly, that this is really not about "gender equality" but instead it's about changing the modern male so he's less threatening to women. Thank you. I could not have said it better myself.

Gravity, you have just hit upon my biggest problem with the video. Having Bond dressed as a woman does absolutely nothing for equality any more than having a woman dressed as a man would. I respect and understand what they are trying to do with the video, but I think they did it wrong. An empowered woman needs to come from the strength of the woman, not by a man letting her become empowered. Just like an empowered man needs to come from the man himself, not by letting anther man letting him become empowered.

[jaguar007]

She opens the PSA by asking if they are equals.

That is another odd aspect to Bond/M in this video. She asks if they are equals, well no, she is his SUPERIOR in the workforce, not his equal. It kind of backfires.

[elizabeth]

Thank you.

You're not welcome.

It's only "pointless" when the points being made are offensive, in disagreement, or of no interest to you, therefore debate should be stifled.

A. No, it's only pointless when you bring up something that has absolutely nothing to do with the video, which is what we SHOULD be discussing.
B. If debate should be stifled, why are you even bothering replying?

Thank you for asking. The video really didn't say much of anything, other than prattle on with some unsubstantiated allegations, including one about 60 million girls being raped on their way to school each year. Since *CLEARLY there cannot be sixty-million girls being raped on the way to school each year in the U.K., the allegation *MUST* refer to places outside of the U.K. where these rapes are occurring. My guess would be in particular sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and South East Asia. The gutless wonders who put this video together would probably never have dared call out the countries and religions that force their women to be clothed completely from head to toe, without even their face being shown, cutting off a woman's nose and ears for daring to go to school, or murder their daughters in "honor killings" because she has "disgraced" the family name. How is any of that NOT RELEVANT to this discussion?????

EACH YEAR. THAT DOES NOT MEAN EVERY DAY. And of course it refers to places outside of the U.K., Michael. Island =/= hey-we're-the-only-country-in-the-world-therefore-we-should-only-care-about-ourselves.

I watched the video, bro, and even though I have autism (and yes, I know I said Asperger's, which is a form of autism. Just wanted to clear that up, I have a hunch you would try to get me on that one), I'm able to see (and hear) that there was no discussion of religion in the video. None.

Shakespeare? The dude who wrote THE TAMING OF THE SHREW? Whose play's characters were all acted by men and women weren't allowed?

Vesper Lynd told Bond in Casino Royale "You think of women as disposable pleasures, rather than meaningful pursuits" and Bond doesn't argue the point nor try to correct her. So if my sardonic use of the word "chick" has so enraged you, how do people like you and GermanPERSON ever find your way clear to watching and loving the Bond series? How can you stand following the pursuits of a sexist, misogynistic dinosaur? Your venom towards me is disproportionate to the actual offense, but your hysterical response, as well as GermanPERSON's, only further confirms that your rage is selective; it's only misogyny or sexual harassment or gender inequality depending upon the person giving it out. Your response to me is intellectually dishonest and bankrupt.

You're a hypocrite Elizabeth. I bet you've spent more time complaining about my use of the word "chick" or "Fraulein" than doing anything about *REAL* abuses towards women like this:

To rephrase a quote from Bill Murray in Ghostbusters: "Take a tip, punk: don't mess with English majors."

And how dare you, how the , dare you accuse me of not caring about the people who are abused, abandoned, left to die, when that young girl could easily be me (or you) in a heartbeat? I am a follower of Jesus, and I know that He has put me on this earth, as He has put all of us (maybe even you), to love our neighbors, and I'll have you know that while you were busy insulting me with all that trash which I'm not even going to bother reading (weakly, I might add), I've been observing Lent to the fullest capacity: going to adoration of the blessed Sacrament, church, giving up one of my most violent passions (not Facebook, David, I'll get to you later). And part of Lent is Almsgiving. This means GIVING BACK TO THOSE IN NEED IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE. I'm trying to get to St. Vincent de Paul to do some serving to the poor, I really want to volunteer in a homeless shelter, but I have a packed schedule (again, David) with my new job, so I'm going to say my rosary and try to fit it in when I can.

I tried not to bring in religion so as not to sound like a "hypocrite," but ya kinda made me. Oh, and FYI? Shakespeare didn't call other men dudes either.

Bond makes a convenient, safe target for these left-leaning, radical feminists so in turn I'm a little bit cynical of the video. Okay, I'm a lot cynical.

Oh, really? Facebook and partying is all we're good for, huh? The applications and all the hard work, all the tests we took, all the payments we made mean nothing. Wonderful. Hi, Mom.

No.

Couple of fun facts for you, David:

-I finished last semester with a 2.86 GPA, and I was taking 17 units, which is a lot for a first time freshman.

-I am the Communications Chair for the SDSU Residence Hall Association, and the Technology Chair for my residence hall's hall council.

-I am applying to become a Residential Adviser.

-I am running for Vice President of Programming for RHA for 2011-2012 academic year.

-I am taking 15 units, and I just got a job.

-I could go on and on about what I've done in my life, but I won't. I'm not applying for a job here (no offense, Jim).

What, more meaningless rantings and ravings? Yeah, I expected as much. Accomplishments mean nothing to you. It was worth a shot, anyway.

About male-domination: it kinda has always been like that, and it probably, unfortunately, always will be, so don't you DARE point the finger at our generation.

A-ha!!!! Another admission, albeit unwittingly, that this is really not about "gender equality" but instead it's about changing the modern male so he's less threatening to women. Thank you. I could not have said it better myself.

You know who came to mind the MINUTE I read this sentence? Dwight Frye as Renfield in Tod Browning's 1931 film adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula. I bet you had fresh blood oozing from your mouth after finishing that nice, tasty rat you found while scavenging the sewers. Or perhaps you were thinking of the reward your "Master" would give you after you sucked the life out of this poor, defenseless girl, just like he himself did out of Mina Harker?

I can see it now:

Typing...typing..typing..*Michael pauses for a moment* "...And I could see that there were rats! RATS! Thousands of them! MILLIONS OF THEM!! All with piercing red eyes! Like his only smaller! And then he said, 'All this will I give to you if you just do my will!"

Well, Michael, looks like your arguments fail (again) because he chokes you to death on a staircase at the end of the film.

[Monkeyfoahead]

Cant we all just get along??

[Jim]

I'm certain all of that is sincerely meant. However, you may just be giving an evident, and practised, agitator more ammunition.

This thread has been useful to smoke people out and keep them contained within it, within their own self-inflicted wounds, whipping their usual hobbyhorses to gallop headlong over its broad plains, whilst the life of the rest of the site continues perfectly pleasantly without their interference, but it's only ever a temporary holding facility.

Hanging by a bit of a thread now - can I afford to wait for the next ostensibly controversial thing to come along so the lunatic fringe hurtle into that with their "views" and leave the rest of us alone, or is it correct that this thread is shut, the result being that they are released into the community to torment us there? A dilemma. Ish. Personally I favour keeping it alive as we know where they are (and it's not as if they have anything to contribute on anything else, they may feel a little exposed, poor loves), at least for the moment.

Roll up, roll up, witness the Victorian freakshow. See! The Amazing Typing Man and the way he hammers that keyboard, enraged in his proto-martyr self-righteousness! No, sonny, don't rattle that cage of his, it only encourages him! Look at him encouraging you into his trap! Poke him and he'll spray you with his impotent ejaculate, hoping some of it sticks! Gasp! As the Human Fleas of Pointless Rancour buzz around uselessly! Guffaw! At the Unamazing Soothsayers, giving us a glimpse not into the future but into life five years ago - read their predicitions with horror and a sense of utter futility! Get Depressed At! The members of own's own race - they're no different to you and I, madam, isn't that shocking, show us yer ankles etc. - who consider that any effect this may have on a series of popular public entertainments, let it, so what, is of any consequence whatsoever! Cheer! That they're not in your home tonight and you can have a chat elsewhere at this funfair about some trivial entertainment as a temporary release from work or school without their "views" being tediously hammered into one.

Hang on a minute, elizabeth, I didn't write any of this stuff you're quoting to me! I think you might be confused by Michael quoting my post #253 and then adding his comments - those you quote above as being mine - in reply to mine in his post #256. Perhaps you'd like to check and reassure yourself, just so you know who your bust-up's actually with.

But I think I can safely say that having read your misdirected reply, the issues you have going on pretty much ensure that no man will ever call you a "chick", even as a playful term of endearment from an intimate loved one.

This. Without a doubt the most fitting description of the processes in this thread and perhaps most of the interweb in general.

I'd opt, for lack of substantial contributions regarding the threads topic, to leave it where it died a few pages ago. Neither the course of mankind's fate nor that of a briefly entertaining series of films about a character called Bond will be affected either way. But I daresay if it's officially inhumed it will at least no longer contribute to some kind of sick pastime, which it apparently did.

[BJMDDS]

Just watched the ad.

Disclaimer: Hey, guess what? I'm a woman, a teenage girl (gasp!) no less, so I'm GOING to be biased. Dear Gravity and everyone else who hates the ad: negate me. I really don't ing care.

I thought the beginning of the ad was extremely powerful, with Craig as 007. The end of that section really calls attention to Bond's promiscuity. You can see that almost pensive look on his face when M says those final words.

I also thought that Craig's taking off of the wig was extremely powerful. It shows that he really wants to change his ways as Bond and really feels for the female sex.

Lizzy, who is SL?

You would never see Hugh Jackman or Henry Cavill portrayed in this fashion. Brocolli has done permanent damage to Cr-egg's mystique as Bond. There is no positive spin to this. Heads might start to roll at Eon after such a fiasco. It was insulting to everything Cubby Brocolli stood for. Where is MGW through all of this?

For crying out loud, SHUT THE UP ABOUT HUGH JACKMAN. HE'S NOT EVEN HOT.

My God, you're worse than me. I'm a 19 YEAR OLD GIRL, and the good folks here at CBn don't see me jumping on the bandwagon for you-know-who (sorry guys, can't say the name, gave him up for Lent. Hints: dead. Initials SL) as the next Bond (as much as I would like him to be). This ad is perfect for Dan and Judi, and it shows that they are among the few celebrities that actually care about the issues surrounding them, rather than drowning themselves in money.

Who is SL?

You'd do well to look up the word "ejaculate" as well. Happens a lot in the James Bond books, this being a website about James Bond; y'know, that thing.

Whilst it's pleasant to have a few folks over from danielcraigisnotbond, very welcome and I can well understand that ceaseless redundant negativity may pall and you may want an outlet to say nice things about your interest, for the record we have no relationship with Eon Productions - so feel free to say the nice things.
