My wife and I watched The Living Daylights last night (the first Bond we watched together in 1987). Full cinema, an unusual ocurrence lately. Will give the Brosnan's a miss but might book CR after holiday.
My first theatrical Bond was Live and Let Die (never really been a favourite though). Off to see The Living Daylights next Tuesday (smallish Odeon cinema about 34 recliners plus wheelchair spaces). Will swerve the Brosnan films but might watch the first two Craigs theatrically for the first...
Bond meets Vesper on the train, as does Jesse and Celine (Before Sunset), as does Walter Mitty and Rosalind van Hoorn, as, of course, does Roger Thornhill and Eve Kendall. The most classy and romantic introductions happen on trains. Alas, it has never happened to me!
I hope Goldfinger is released on 4k disc, there are about a half dozen I will upgrade.
Another reason I like QoS is it's mercifully short, possibly the shortest of all 25.
QoS was really CR part 2, they are my favourites of the Craig years. They also had a better villain, Eva, Caterina, Gemma, and Giancarlo Giannini. Perhaps Craig should have only made two (like Dalton), he seemed increasingly dissatisfied with the role as the movies progressed.
I don't like the colour palette of Spectre (very brown/dull). There is a colour correction video on YouTube which shows how it could have looked (much better in my view).
I agree, but I don't think The Batman producers have heard you. I watched the Joker on Prime, fortunately it was 'included', there's no way I would have wanted to pay separately to see it. People can get their fill of doom and gloom from the news, I want to be entertained.
Bonds in order and their best film:
Dalton - The Living Daylights
Moore - Moonraker
Connery - Goldfinger
Lazenby - OHMSS
Craig - Casino Royale
Brosnan - sorry Pierce!
They need new producers, director, writers, get rid of the formula and go back to the books. Introduce a Bentley (he only drives an Aston in Goldfinger) and make new films as prequels with less CGI (like Nolan).
