Bond 24 - Spectre

[Seshmeister]

The static shot that's showing before you hit play - hard to believe that's on there 'cause Craig's not wearing an Omega. That's a Rolex 6538 on his left wrist.

There is an Omega product placement although not as clunky as the horrific one on the train in Casino.

[Seshmeister]

My original plan was to go tonight to the opening and then take the family later but they all wanted to see it.

I may go one more time depending on how inspired I get when the US podcasts hit.

It's long though, not Lord of the Rings long but just about the longest Bond at 148 minutes - because it was so busy tonight I broke my golden rule and had to sit through trailers tonight so that we all got decent seats. I hate the amount of spoilers in trailers these days, Spectre suffers a bit from it but not fatally just good lines - to be fair to Star Wars they are doing it right so far at least. There was a trailer tonight to a Di Caprio movie tonight called The Revenant that I don't need to go and see now, looked like the whole movie was in the trailer.

As far as the release date goes, now you know how we usually feel when the US release is early. It does mean that there will be cam shot bootlegs available on torrent sites - you would be fucking insane to watch one of them as this is not a film you want to watch a shitty quality version of.

It's gone up tonight at 8.3 on IMDB.

[Seshmeister]

I was back at the cinema tonight at the super big 18 screen complex to see Sicario and 10 screens were showing Spectre half of which were sold out a couple of hours early - I think Spectre is going to do ok. I've read some commentaries about how Skyfall is better, I'll be going back to have another look at that, I've only seen it once after a few beers...

[DONNIEP]

I only want to know one thing - please tell me there's no invisible Aston in this one.

How would you know there wasn't

[Seshmeister]

I'm looking forward to this movie being released in the US so I can start throwing spoilers into this thread.

There are a few faults with the film which I want to rant about.

[Seshmeister]

The Bond themes that they used to reject are all better than Sam Smith - I like this one.

Feel free to do so now. There is no way in hell I can sit for 3 hours in a theatre to watch a fucking movie. I haven't watched a Bond movie since Roger Moore was Bond. Besides, I prefer Matt Helm to Bond.

Movies have gone the way of CD's, with being too fucking long. I used to think a 2 hour movie was too long, now they are approaching 3 hours. They need to shorten this shit up. Leave you wanting more, instead of leaving you exhausted, and wondering when the fuck it's going to end.

[Seshmeister]

I usually avoid long movies as well - this one is 2.5 hours which is my absolute maximum some of that Lord of the Rings shit went on forever.

Look here grandpa, strap on a Depends and get you a large drink and a giant bucket of popcorn and quit your cryin

I usually have the popcorn finished by the time the fucking trailers are done.

Lord Of The Rings? Never seen them. Never seen any of those stupid pirate movies either. Aren't they outrageously long too?

[Von Halen]

I did watch Dirty Mary And Crazy Larry on Netflix recently though.

[twonabomber]

Didn't like the LOTR books and didn't bother with the movies. Watched the part of Pirates that had Keith Richards in it, and that's all.

Well, I just sat through the entire video for this song. I don't know who Sam Smith is but that song may be as faggity as The Living Daylights. Why is that homo singing about love and sissy crap like that? James Bond don't love nobody! And when he does he don't get all weepy and needy about it! Jesus, why not just put a dress on him and turn him into one of those transtesticles or whatever.

[DONNIEP]

We had to read The Hobbit or some shit like that in Jr High. I think I got a few pages in before I gave up and went to the mall and bought the Cliffs notes. Never seen any of those movies either. I think it's about midgets and wizards and crap like that. I don't even think they have guns.

Music was OK, but the words...like they said "don't write spy stuff!" and she comes up with "we've got our orders!"

This sentence has been burned into my brain for all eternity. I can't let go of this atrocity towards culture & human enlightenment.

I hate you, DonnieP. I hate you deeply.

[DONNIEP]

You're a god-damned philistine, that's what you are.

I just can't get into wizards and goblins and stuff like that. Or Harry Potter. Never seen one of those either and I never will. Flying around on broomsticks. How gay is that?? If you realized you had magic powers why wouldn't you invade Cuba and set yourself up as dictator? Magic sucks unless you do cool shit with it.

You mean to tell me that a book about midgets and magicians is culture and conveys enlightenment to the human race?? What, did you become a Scientologist or something?

First of all, although there's wizards in it, they're more like the wise type of wizard, they're not farting fireballs all over the place or flying around in broomsticks or prancing around like little faggoty limp-wristed boys.

Second, although there is elements of fantasy in the story, it's mostly about grabbing hold of your balls & do whatever you can in the face of overwhelmingly & practically insurmountable odds.

Third, it's a book that treats children like normal people, not little retards who will grow up to be bigger retards. It's a children's book, and the fact that some people don't consider it to be so is a good example of the abhorrent infantile behaviour of what passes for adults these days.

And to finish it off, it's the modern basis for every fantasy story ever written since then. Some of which even an uncouth savage like you may have enjoyed. You think George Lucas just pulled Star Wars out of his ass?

[Von Halen]

I don't think I've ever even heard of "The Hobbit". If I did, I wisely deleted it from my memory.

Congrats on gheying up the Bond thread, Ima.

I'm gheying up a thread where you obsess over a smooth-talking, well-dressed, charming MAN?

You motherfuckers are harbouring closeted homo-erotic fantasies about the size of his pistol, and I'm the one gheying it up?

Go read the Hobbit, uncultured swine!

[Von Halen]

I'm not obsessing. As stated, I haven't seen a Bond flick since Roger Moore was Bond. As I also stated, I prefer Matt Helm over Bond.

Sesh! Bring on the spoilers!

[Von Halen]

uncultured swine!

If being cultured means I have to read some stupid book about wizards and goblins (according to Donnie), then I definitely don't want or need culture.

You motherfuckers make me nauseous with your wilful illiteracy! How can you not want or need culture? How can you be happy wallowing in the sties of ignorance?

But yeah, Roger Moore was the best Bond. He was a funny guy & the films were better for it. Most of his detractors claim he wasn't right for the part because he made light of it.

As if an extremely conspicuous super-agent with over-the-top ridiculous gadgets was meant to be taken seriously.

Only dumbasses who never read a book could even contemplate such nonsense!

[DONNIEP]

Well I never read the books or saw the movies so what do I know? They may very well be awesome.

Hey Von - let's have a Hobbit Party! We'll send these out to everybody we know!

it should plainly state "bring alcohol"

[Seshmeister]

Just read this joke which must be pretty old at this point but it did make me laugh...

Sean Connery was interviewed by Donahue, and bragged that despite his 72 years of age, he could still have sex three times a night. Kylie Minogue, who was also a guest, looked intrigued. After the show, Kylie said, “Sean, if I am not being too forward, I’d love to have sex with an older man. Let’s go back to my place.” So they go back to her place and have great sex. Afterwards, Sean says, “If you think that was good, let me sleep for half an hour, and we can have even better sex. But while I’m sleeping, hold my balls in your left hand and my dick in your right hand.” Kylie looks a bit perplexed, but says, “Okay”. He sleeps for half an hour, awakens, and they have even better sex. Then Sean says, “Kylie, that was wonderful. But if you let me sleep for an hour, we can have the best sex yet. But again, hold my balls in your left hand, and my dick in your right hand.” Kylie is now used to the routine and complies. The results are mind blowing. Once it’s all over, and the cigarettes are lit, Kylie asks “Sean, tell me, does my holding your balls in my left hand and your dick in my right stimulate you while you’re sleeping?” Sean replies, “No, but the last time I slept with a slut from Melbourne, she stole my wallet.

[PETE'S BROTHER]

we'll have it at an indoor arena so you can bring the buggy

Here is the story of the hobbit. And yes, I was right about the goblins.

Back on topic. Speaking of Roger Moore, this Spectre trailer is bad ass!!

Oh, sure. Derive your knowledge from bad songs.

But you see, even your idols absolutely love the story.

And they're successful because they read books, Donnie! Don't you want to be successful one day?

Well, pardon me for intruding on your adult film about a super agent with flying cars & laser pencils.

[DONNIEP]

Exploding pens. And one that shot an explosive round. And only Scaramanga had a flying car. Which I can overlook since he had one of the hottest women that ever lived in his trunk:



And to think, Bond locked her in a closet!! Homo!!!!

[vandeleur]

Invisible cars ..... Ima I fully support you in your despair at the lack of "class" shown in this thread.
And sesh played the kids films card way to early.
As for Toger Moore nah not rapey enough for a top quality bond.
