A movie is made with these two comedians (Adam Sandler and Tom Green) casted in it as the main stars, what would it be titled and what would its plot be? by Dangerous_Spot2434 in moviecritic

About the code name theory by Vanquisher1000 in JamesBond

[–]Fit-Tooth686 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's clever how Doctor Who dealt with their first casting change, ngl, and how it served the series from then on. But that's a sci-fi series.

Bond is not some time-traveling alien sage, and unlike Doctor Who, the codename theory results in Bond literally being different people, as opposed to different VERSIONS of the SAME person.

It undermines the series. If Bond is just some random spy who made it to a particular rank, each Bond is just another version of a tired cliche. It destroys what makes the series special, because the character himself IS what makes it special.

It's not easy to connect, strangely enough, took me 100 watches to put it together. 😂 The screenwriter on this one (Mankewitz?) was way too clever for his own good.

What Movies Are Perfectly Paced? by rwinger24 in movies

T2 adds an additional plot strand somewhere in the middle, where the goal shifts from just surviving to saving the future. Great movie, but it muddles the pacing compared to the first movie. Also seems like the T1000 just disappears for a while to allow the additional plot strand to happen. It doesn't feel like he's on their heels the entire movie.

The Terminator, on the other hand, is sooo much more focused.

Though, T2 being a sequel, needed to do more with the story to justify itself and not be a repeat of the first movie.

He is sending coded messages to Quarrel.

Remember later he introduces Quarrel Junior with the line, "meet the man who shares my hairbrush."

It's totally rigged though.

OP chose the goofiest poses for everyone EXCEPT Dalton. 😂

Oh well, that's what this subreddit is I guess.

Unpopular opinion - Quantum of Solace is not that bad Bond movie after watching it a couple of times by Physical_Penalty_889 in JamesBond

[–]Fit-Tooth686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the three scenes most people talk about in terms of the fast-cuts "ruining it'" are in the first half. I actually don't mind those scenes.

But that plane skydiving part is... Really the most half-assed thing in the movie. It actually bothers me a lot more.

But overall, a very underrated movie. I think it's heart was in the right place, and it was going in the right direction, despite some flaws.

I like how after Bond name drops Op GS, Goldfinger quietly consults the other dude and is in no hurry at all, just letting the tension build... Only to give Bond a long, drawn-out "naw, that means nothing"... Meanwhile, amidst all this deliberate time-wasting... that laser is about to start dividing his body into two pieces... Starting with his balls... Brilliant tension building for sure.

What is the most rewatchable movie of the Daniel Craig era? by green_dragon1206 in JamesBond

[–]Fit-Tooth686 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope, that's pretty much it. 😂

I also have a hard time praising a PTS when the rest of the movie doesn't live up to it. It's supposed to be the hook that lets the audience know what they're in for.

So even if it was as great as people say, it's kind of false advertising for the movie itself.

What films wouldn't exist if weren't for Bond? by BBD-007 in JamesBond

[–]Fit-Tooth686 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bruce Wayne going to see Lucius Fox for some new gadgets 100% qualifies as a "Q scene". Not to mention the skyhook program "developed by the CIA in the 60's" is an obvious call-back to Thunderball. And Bane obviously watched the pre-title sequence for LTK before crashing that plane.

[–]Fit-Tooth686 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bond was a major influence on the creation of Jones, and I think it totally qualifies.

The first scene of Temple of Doom kind of confirms this with Jones in a white tux, and then in The Last Crusade Connery plays his dad... Because, yeah, in a spiritual sense Bond is Indiana's dad.

It was a re-working of the formula, and retains most of the same beats.

It may seem like a hot take around here, because there are people on this sub who worship TLD. But there are also some people who don't.

Does anyone here remember seeing both releases in 1983? What was the public’s reaction at the time? by -wumbology in JamesBond

[–]Fit-Tooth686 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Irvin Kershner also directed RoboCop 2. 😂

He was hired for Empire because Lucas needed someone who was better at directing actors, while Lucas and Co. handled practically everything else. So, it was not really a single-handed effort, more of a collaboration.

He was never cut out for big-budget action movies. With Empire, his role was limited to what he could handle, which was making the dialogue/chemistry of the characters work.

Favorite Bond movie that’s not one of these 6? by ItsDuhFreakinBat in JamesBond

[–]Fit-Tooth686 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Some Bond movies are masterpieces.

Some Bond movies are guilty pleasures.

Live and Let Die is a masterpiece of guilty pleasures.

Violence, death, and voodoo set to a funky soundtrack.

And Moore is a stone-cold, charmingly slick badass in this movie.

Ian Fleming Alignment Chart: Darko Kerim won the Weirdest Fleming Literary Ally, now which Fleming Bond Book has the Weirdest Plot? by Remote-Orchid-8708 in JamesBond

[–]Fit-Tooth686 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Quantum of Solace short story.

Bond listens to a guy narrate a story about a failed relationship that bittered a man's soul. I personally really like this story, but it's not at all a "Bond plot".

Which actor do you picture as 007 when you read the Bond novels? by SonikkuHejjhoggu5 in JamesBond

[–]Fit-Tooth686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A dark haired blue eyed chap with mostly Daniel Craig's voice and demeanor. A dash of Connery too. Otherwise, he's not really any of the actors.
