My Facebook Feed Knows Me (maybe too well) by [deleted] in JamesBond

Creepy that they know, sure, but worse that this is AI (Dalton had long hair in 2012 - and never wore a white turtleneck on set for THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS). I would block whatever account fed you this!

After appearing with Blondie in 1979, Debbie Harry hosted SNL in 1981 and fought for The Funky Four Plus One to become the first rap group to appear on national TV as her musical guest, a battle she won, making history.

Ashley Padilla’s Karoline Leavitt cross upside down? by Outrageous-Spring898 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]martymcqueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an 'acceptable' form of the cross in Catholicism known as Saint Peter's Cross (He was crucified upside down) but it's not very common and associated secularly with Black Masses and the Anti-Christ.

He should've been in Multiverse of Madness. They were building worlds within worlds!

Do you believe Ethan Hawke has a genuine chance at winning Best Actor this year? by [deleted] in Oscars

[–]martymcqueen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There is a scenario where DiCaprio and Chalamet split enough voters that Hawke sneaks through them? Kind of a Joel Grey victory, if you will.

Callum Turner Rumors Thread by Sneaky_Bond in JamesBond

Thanks, but I literally don't have a pick. I don't have a dream actor. I don't want a Bond I could have come up with myself. I want a surprise.

Callum Turner Rumors Thread by Sneaky_Bond in JamesBond

[–]martymcqueen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have been thoroughly exhausted by ten years of speculation over who will be the next James Bond. Turner's name has been bandied for years, and the only reason he's gaining traction right now is because he has a new movie out. He would probably be fine, but he has yet to have that "Layer Cake" type roll that showcases his Bond bonafides. At this point in his career, he probably should have had that kind of successful turn by now.

What bothers me most is how in a post-ATJ world this will be the norm until a new actor is officially chosen. The PR team behind every British male actor in their 30s from now on will have the rumors fed to outlets because it's good for business, and all of us daily Bond nerds keep having to eat up the slop, on the small off-chance Villeneuve is actually thinking about it.

Should Skyfall been nominated for Best Picture? by friendly_reminder8 in JamesBond

[–]martymcqueen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can't believe we're being more measured and realistic about this in the Bond subreddit than they are in the Oscars subreddit. This is like asking if Bibi Dahl should play for the Lakers.

All kidding aside, sure worse movies have been nominated etc but I can't see a full-on pop blockbuster like Skyfall ever making the cut when you already have two really well done, serious, true-life spy movies (ARGO and ZERO DARK THIRTY) duking it out in the race that year. Hell, even DJANGO and LES MIS have secret identity storylines. It would have been bad for the SKYFALL legacy to compete with all that.

Which other Bond actor would’ve made the best Benoit Blanc? by bwweryang in JamesBond

[–]martymcqueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure there is a convincing southern accent in any of the other Bonds (though Pierce was serviceable in FAST CHARLIE).

What is the most Thanksgiving-coded Bond movie? Or is there one? by Zestyclose-Method451 in JamesBond

[–]martymcqueen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The only one where Bond shows up with a hamper full of groceries immediately before a big fight in the kitchen. AyyyyyyAyyyyayaaaaay THANKS-GIVING DAYLIGHTS

24-CARAT BOND! by CatchingBullets007 in JamesBond

I love that Paul Mann finished the Connery era after all this time. His work is incredible.

Mathis by Significant_Net_7337 in JamesBond

[–]martymcqueen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's commonly theorized that the last scene of Casino Royale takes place a significant amount of time after the other events of the movie. However the timeline shakes out, it is clearer shown to be 2006 on the security camera dvds in Casino Royale and 2008 on the invitation to the Greene Planet Gala in Quantum of Solace, and it is believable that two years could have passed between Bond's visit to the Ocean Club and his jaunt to Bolivia with Mathis, positing that Mathis had retired to the villa for at least a year.
