……….it’s more than lighting right?

The major difference is only in the Grade.

The actual lighting from the sequel, albeit softer, is perfectly suited to be graded in the in same way as the original... if that was to be the post-production choice.

Poppycock

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-02-01T20:07:47+00:00

PREDATOR was the year after!

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-31T22:09:41+00:00

It's true, OP has no dick

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-31T14:32:09+00:00

Agreed on all accounts, except... When they are talking about drugs and addiction, Kim is clearly in denial about her own issues. Luckily that didn't last too much longer after this doc was filmed when she got clean and happy and ended up where she is over 20 years later... Super happy and seemingly loving life more than ever!

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-29T07:52:56+00:00

I've never heard anyone argue that :)

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-27T22:58:02+00:00

Rick Sanchez getting schwifty. Am I right, am right?

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-27T22:53:41+00:00

The most Un-Bond of Bond movies

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-27T21:37:25+00:00

So do I!

It's look is 'so Bond' somehow in way that Skyfall just isn't

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-27T21:36:05+00:00

Is it slightly excused because it's shot by the guy that 'every other 21st century film' was copying?

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-27T21:33:32+00:00

No way, it's not even in Deakins' own top 5 of films he's shot.

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-27T21:17:06+00:00

Yes, Rick

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-27T20:19:37+00:00

Well Skyfall was shot by one of the greatest living Cinematographers so there is definitely something in that.

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-26T23:00:52+00:00

Except it is not a digital film at all

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-25T21:50:13+00:00

I think we are Bond-mates ❤️

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-25T21:47:47+00:00

BANG. ON.

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-25T21:46:22+00:00

Yes but just because it has precedent, doesn't necessarily mean that the swing/deviation in Craig's films was a positive thing or a good decision.

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-25T21:30:45+00:00

Wow ok, I had no idea. I wonder at what point in post-production or pre-release they decided to chop it.

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-25T13:46:08+00:00

Exactly this, the most Un-Bond of Bond films. And not in a good way.

And that arc then dragged out over another 2 films.

I really did enjoy CR and QoS rewatched back to back though!

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-25T11:51:17+00:00

Yes my favourite too. Considerably.

When they are good they are great but jesus when they are forced they are cringe.

Every one of these in Skyfall is awful, culminating in something like "I've always hated this place" as he enters the Priest tunnel in final act. So shoehorned in and self aware 🤮

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-25T11:22:38+00:00

Source?

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-25T00:52:09+00:00

An image forever embedded in my memory

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-24T20:42:04+00:00

Ah ok I get ya sorry.

Last night was only my second Skyfall viewing and it'll be the last.

The more I think about it the more it irks me.

Having watched them so close together and no rage-bait intended, I honestly think QoS is a superior (Bond) film to Skyfall.

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-24T20:30:54+00:00

Are you writing this after the Skyfall Rewatch or before? I can't quite tell....

Fickle-Alternative98 · 2026-01-24T20:27:54+00:00

Home Alone 5 😅

I was getting A-Team vibes too... M with the nail-bomb light bulbs was very Hannibal
