reply

I am tired of these boring Bond films.

Unless this has a great story, I may have to pirate or not watch.

Also, is there any SJW twist to this crap?

reply

Well, looking at the cast with Daniel Craig and Ana de Armas, it reminds me of Knives Out which was basically a leftist propaganda... so probably yes. But whatever, Hollywood is always left leaning anyway, I'll still watch this Bond movie.

reply

I want to watch Knives Out because I like the theme but the propaganda part really annoys me.

Is it that bad?

reply

It's not that bad. But yes it was a leftist propaganda movie, which many other movies are. So it's not very specially left or something. Just regular variety of today's Hollywood crap. I don't mind it to be honest, still an enjoyable flick. They even made fun of the SJW character in the movie. And the single token black character is useless lol.

Daniel Craig's over the top "acting" was more distracting actually.

reply

I might rent it.

Token black characters make me rage.

It's like no progress from many decades of the same thing.

reply

Yeah, but usually when they have a token black character he/she must be a good, hard working, capable and somewhat commanding. But this guy in Knives Out was totally useless. He did absolutely nothing lol. It's like as if the movie was mocking a token black character, really. I don't know if that's intentional tho'. At least he didn't die first.

reply

Wow.

I will have to check it out.

I don't know much about the movie and hope it's something different.

reply

Mind you it's still a left propaganda movie so you will notice that in the movie. Anyway, it was just a little silly movie starring Daniel Craig and Ana de Armas.

I wonder why it seemed like too often we have this kind of movie. Two main characters in a little movie played by actors that later would play together in other usually bigger blockbuster movie. Is this somekind of trial run?

Like to see if the actors have chemistry together or that they simply can work together... before commiting them to a bigger budgeted project later?

reply

Interesting!

The weekend is coming so maybe I'll watch it then.

reply

SJW propaganda loves their tokenism.

reply

I will never watch Knives Out, but I don't need to see it to know that Daniel Craig flat out cannot act. No skill whatsoever. Just re-watch Casino Royale and notice how poorly-delivered his lines are and how awkward every scene with dialogue is. That's why there are so many action scenes, fights, and explosions. Those moments move the plot along without the need for dialogue.

reply

He got the looks tho'

reply

I really don't think so, but even if he did in 2006, he looks awful now in 2020.

reply

Good. Bond is a Thanksgiving tradition. It's back where it belongs....

reply

the feb and april dates were weird for bond anyway. Bonds been nov since Brosnans start. and before that Moore/Daltons were all summer (and Connerys/OHMSS were all oct/nov/dec apart from YOLT in summer)

reply

Licence to Kill was the first Bond I saw in theatres. I've seen every Bond movie since. So it's been a Thanksgiving thing for me for the majority of my theatrical experience with Bond....

reply

How was the experience of watching Licence to Kill in the cinema? Did you get the vibe that people enjoyed it?

reply

I remember the theatre being pretty empty, but my dad took me to a matinee showing and I think it had been out for awhile. That said, I remember enjoying it.

reply

Never Say Never was my 1st 007 at cinema (Oct/Dec 83) then saw View to a Kill and Living Daylights but skipped LTK as too young (15 cert in UK) until GE

reply

Yeah, in November 2019, and that was already after a series of unnecessary delays.

reply

Pretty happy with the change. Not that I think this coronavirus is going anywhere. This is probably the last remotely old fashioned Bond film we're gonna get, so keeping the Thanksgiving tradition intact is a nice sendoff.

reply

Why the fuck would a British film series have an American thanksgiving tradition? That's just a coincidence. This is all just a smokescreen for the real reason which is re-shooting, re-editing, and re-scoring.

reply

That would never take 7 months. That's just ridiculous. It's a month away from the original release date, this movie is finished and in the can. Someone somewhere would have seen it by now...no leaks, no unofficial early reviews.

reply

In other words... No Time To Reshoot.

reply

James Bond No Time to Die delayed over HORRIBLE test screening?! Using CV as cover?!

reply

I'm sure they have a completed cut of the film, but I bet they are going to re-cut it, and now that they have so much time, they will use that as an excuse to do re-shoots as well.

reply

All depends on how bad the first cut is and how much they need to redo. It makes no sense to push it to November because of the wuhan flu because the virus will pretty much die down in the summer because of the weather, but will likely pick back up in the fall so November will likely be back in the middle of the wuhan flu season.

reply

Well okay.

reply

This was planned all along. This is now the...fourth(?) official delay (and years worth of unofficial delays behind the scenes). The truth is that they haven't even finished editing the film and probably major parts need to be re-shot.

The justification really doesn't make sense. How do they know that things will be any better in November compared to now?

reply

There is now exactly a 0% chance that I will be paying to see this.

reply

Confidence I do not have in this film.

reply

No Time to Retry
