James Bond

Post by _zeezrom »

Did you see the movie Sky Fall? If not, you should. You will get a heavy dose of Daniel Craig and his amazing fashion sense. OMG he is an amazing dresser. At the end, he wears this jacket, scarf, shirt combo that is absolutely yummy.

Zee,

Skyfall was great and one of, if not the best in the series.

Sigmund Freud said that every man has a "little gay" (I'm paraphrasing of course) in him. I am confident enough in my masculinity to admit that he is one attractive spy.

I'm sure Droopy and bcspace have already seen Skyfall hundreds of times.

actually, i thought Freud consider homosexuality a natural step in human sexual development...and that a homosexual adult was simply someone whose "process" had been r3tard3d at some point for some reason.

though i admit, i did not ever realize why he stormed out of the psycho-evaluation, during word association, when the word "skyfall" was mentioned.
anyone?

That is the name of the estate he grew up on, no?

Gorgeous movie.

Zee is right. Skyfall was his family estate.

That is what i figured, but the weight they gave his "childhood trauma" and then that scene was never quite resolved to me......aside from the brief mention of hiding in the priest tunnel, it did not seem like any sort of tragic James back-story....

great movie...one of the best villains ever!

I liked the movie. I thought the evaluation scene was Bond & M playing down how healthy he was to give a false sense of security to a villain who they knew was an insider. Javier Bardem was excellent, though I wanted to see a knife fight at the end, not just thrown, sort of anticlimactic the way he died.

My beef with the movie is blowing up the Aston Martin. I was like Nooooooooooooo!!!!!

My favorite part of the movie was the reveal of the Aston Martin with the accompanying 60s-era Bond music, and the later reference to the ejection seat.

But that was also my biggest problem with the movie. In a Bond reboot, it's problematic to directly reference old Bond movies. A "reboot" has to be just that.
