Admittedly I'm averse to deadline pressure, but if I were EON, I'd have started planning the next Bond movie during Craig's final one, making the most of the time I had.
I don't mean publicly announcing any plans, but privately starting the thought process, so the announcement of a new Bond could've been a pleasant surprise.
"We've sealed the deal w/ Amazon and we've cast the next Bond."
Ankündigungen von neuen Staffeln von #TheCrown, #Kleo und Costners Rückkehr zum Western, dass der #Pumuckl im Kino spuken darf, #JamesBond nun auch als Gameshow herhalten darf und dazu noch etwas Wrestling und niederländische Pillen. #FantastischeTrailer@filmeundserien
...James Bond in Licence to Kill, but his likeness is used in the game, most notably the opening screens, thus making it Dalton's last appearance as Bond to date. 🍸
It was also the final Bond game to be released by Domark, who had released a series of Bond themed games beginning in 1985 with A View to a Kill. 🕵️
And speaking of visual sins Spectre committed: the Mexico colour correction.
Breaking Bad did this to an even more obscene extent, but this mindset of "it's in Mexico, better make everything orange" is so weird (and the way its applied to Mexico but not to TX, NM, FL or any other southern US state is probably subconsciously racist)…
The right half of the picture is how it looks in the film, the left half is colour-corrected to a more neutral temperature (i.e. white is white and black is black, neither is tinted).
You never forget your first #JamesBond movie. When I was just 7 years old my father took me to see The Spy Who Loved Me and I was spellbound. From the thrilling opening ski chase to the iconic Lotus Esprit submarine car and Richard Kiel as the iconic villain Jaws, I never forgot it.
I’ve watched it many times over the years and tonight I’m watching it again. The film’s opening number ‘Nobody Does It Better’ by Carly Simon is my favorite Bond song of all time.
Major Amasova touches a raw nerve and mentions Bond’s deceased wife as they talk in the Kalba Club. I totally forgot this bit of dialogue. Moore plays it well. She comes up again in the opening sequence of For Your Eyes Only when James brings flowers to her grave site. A nice thread through the Moore films. #JamesBond
I love the sequence where James and Amosova are tracking Jaws through the Egyptian temple. The visual dichotomy of decaying ruins vs their perfect formal evening wear is very iconic, very #JamesBond
#NowPlaying If Diamonds are Forever had been made in this era of 'extended universe' spin-off series, Mr Wint & Mr Kidd would have had their own series.
And now I realise this is something I really want to see. #vinyl#soundtracks#Jamesbond
#Today I was sooo excited to finally get the 007 ticket at McDonalds. And I was disappointed when they called the number out they didn't say "double oh seven", just "seven". I bet they would have done if I was David Craig.
Maybe you've noticed, but I use the original name (Operation Stealth) and the US name of the game (007 James Bond: The Stealth Affair) for the soundtrack videos.
I've placed the logos below the F-19 Stealth Fighter ✈️😎
