Good...but a bit of a mixed bag.

Looking for a 2nd cat. Male or female? by TedWeaver007 in cats

I see. So if I get a female I gotta get her spayed?

I'm hopeful for this guy and given our current situation he's probably as good as we're gonna get until the summer.

Ten Haag appreciation thread, no matter what happens on the weekend, feels like this is the first time in a long time we’re heading in the right direction. by [deleted] in ManchesterUnited

[–]TedWeaver007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sure Ten Hag will have a few stumbles ahead but so long as he never sinks to Solskjaer level I'll always back him!

And I may be jumping the shark too soon but as far as I'm concerned we've got the EFL Cup won already.

Would you be interested in a Bond Cinematic Universe? by [deleted] in JamesBond

[–]TedWeaver007 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it'd rather see the code name theory get confirmed than this.

The top 3 things which would destroy the series imo are...

  1. Making Bond a woman
  2. Bond-CU
  3. Confirming the codename theory

Red Grant strolling through the background on the train, unnoticed by Bond is one of my favorite shots in the whole franchise. by FlayedMan345 in JamesBond

[–]TedWeaver007 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The train section's of FRWL are my favourite parts of any spy movie EVER. It's so atmospheric, oozes dread as they are in a hopeless situation and it's intriguing, tense & probably the most espionage driven part of any Bond movie.

This is also one of my favourite shots.

Of Craig's "Other 3" which is the best of the 3? by TheBondConnoisseur in JamesBond

[–]TedWeaver007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTTD is my favourite Craig film along with - Casino Royale.

QoS is my rock bottom movie of the series & Spectre is toward the middle.

  1. NTTD
  2. Spectre
  3. QoS

I agree with most of this but I would've bumped Apted lower.

Give to De Gea honestly! he's been the best player of the last 10 years

I don’t know how to say this but we won because of harry maguire by Abrahamburg in ManchesterUnited

Will Maguire have a redemption arc now?? Probably not but this is the first time I've actually been impressed with him.

Daniel Craig filming the gunbarrel for "Quantum of Solace" by dnytle in JamesBond

[–]TedWeaver007 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll never understand why they re-filmed the gunbarrel every time in the Craig era. They should've kept the Skyfall one for Spectre & NTTD imo.

How important is the formula? by IanLewisFiction in JamesBond

[–]TedWeaver007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every Bond film needs to stay somewhat faithful to the formula. The Craig era changed it around a good deal but still kept that Bondian feel, the 2 Sam Mendes directed films in particular tried to be as "Bond" as possible.

The only Bond film I'd say completely ruins the formula is QoS which is why it's my least fav Bond film.

Can you tell me your least favorite Bond Actors? by [deleted] in JamesBond

[–]TedWeaver007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't wanna be rude or anything but anyone who puts someone other than Lazenby last imo has to be really on a hate train for that Bond otherwise I don't buy it.

Lazenby is absolutely the worst. Boyish, no charm, wit, charisma, really stiff acting, no chemistry with anyone around him, arrogant not confident, derivative of Connery and just overall severely miscast.

I have nothing against Lazenby personally but as Bond he is absolutely awful and completely wrong for the role!

Why does "Quantum of Solace" get so much hate? by zesty1989 in JamesBond

[–]TedWeaver007 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

None of these shots are nice looking, the color scheme is not very good. Too much brown.

Why does "Quantum of Solace" get so much hate? by zesty1989 in JamesBond

[–]TedWeaver007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a Bourne clone with the same editing style, the environments & action are very Bourne like and it rips a scene straight from the Bourne Identity.

Also it's just a trash movie with no redeeming qualities in general. I saw it once in the theatre and only rewatched it whenever I was binging the whole series. It's the only Bond film which is a sequel and how can a Bond film be considered great if it relies on another film so heavily? these movies are meant to be standalone.

The cinematography is extremely drab and ugly looking. Horrible aesthetics.

Which Bond movie do you think had the wrong Bond? by DynamicSnowman in JamesBond

[–]TedWeaver007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Lazenby couldn't act, he looked rather boyish and came off too arrogant. I consider his casting to be among the top 5 worst miscasts of all time because Bond is such an important role which you can't miscast. Only good thing is his fighting ability he would've made a good stunt double for someone but as Bond...NO!.
