If Babs was smart, she would release it now so that she could blame the film's inevitable failure on covid-19. When it bombs post-covid, what will be her excuse then?
I have zero sympathy for anyone involved in this production. It's been one moronic decision after the other. Covid has nothing to do with their incompetence and failure to produce an acceptable film ready for release in a timely fashion.
I expect that they still need to do major re-shoots regardless of whatever Fukunaga has said in an Instagram post.
Yeah, and once they delay it until the summer, the Craig cucks on reddit will be like "just delay it until November to keep with tradition." I expect a November 2021 release date.
Of course this is just delaying the inevitable.
Canadian market rates.
No because Eric got everyone out of their rut. He broke the cycle. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the club shut down shortly afterwards.
I'm not American, but I think he's a lot smarter than people give him credit for. The parts of his recent rally that were actually audible were pretty intelligent. He won't be President, but if he ever did become the President then America will continue chugging along. I seem to recall that people said a certain candidate in the last election would literally be the end of America if he won, and that prophecy certainly hasn't come true.
It's not about pleasure at that point. It's about having power and control over people, as well as the prestige of getting to be involved in something exclusive that lesser people can't.
I've heard so many longtime fans say this is the first Bond film in decades that they won't be seeing in the cinema, and this was the case before covid. I won't be seeing it either.
I'm not familiar with that film, but I don't think anything will "replace" Bond. Bond always has the potential to rise from the ashes no matter how bad things get. I just don't know if the producers have a willingness to get back to the traditional formula that was so beloved by the fans and made them filthy rich. It's a near perfect cinematic formula that was abandoned for incomprehensible reasons.
I didn't think the series could get any lower than it did with Skyfall, and then Spectre was even worse. I naively thought that they were going to get back to basics and make a standalone Bond film this time, but amazingly they are continuing in the failed creative direction of Spectre.
Craig, Purvis/Wade, Broccoli, and Wilson all need to resign.
I won't be going to see it in the theatre. I won't financially support a Daniel Craig film. And I'm certainly not the only fan who will be boycotting it.
Besides, the box office numbers are fudged, and Craig has been given way too much credit for drawing money. If you look at the numbers closely and adjust for inflation, population growth, and other factors, Craig is arguably the least successful Bond of all time. Connery, Moore, and Brosnan were the big money draws.
Bond fans universally despise Craig. The only hope NTTD has of doing well is if casuals who don't know anything about the Bond series show up in droves as they did for Skyfall and Casino Royale, but that won't be happening in a pandemic. Eon Productions have backed themselves into a corner that they can't get out of. They've alienated their core fans and made their business entirely dependent on casual moviegoers who don't even care about the Bond character or series. The franchise will be in an even worse place than it was following Licence to Kill. There might never be another Bond film again.
I'm still not even sure that this one will get released because they still obviously need to do major reshoots which aren't possible with a pandemic going on.
And somehow he's still alive at the age of almost 90.
I can't even remember who Severine is. By the way, Severine is not a real name given to a human being in any language. Fuck, this movie is so pretentious.
It's disgraceful that in 2020 we still have people saying things like "you're not black enough" or "you're not really black." It's the new liberal, "progressive" racism and it's become more endemic than any classic form of racism where people use the n word or something.
More like the worst journalist of the last five years or however long he has been on the air.
This, the new Bond, and Top Gun will all bomb.
The Matrix is just the allegory of the cave though. It's not an original story. I suppose they have the technical skills and knowledge to make a film, but I wouldn't say they are creative geniuses.
I thought it might have something to do with him being an insurance agent. What are the chances that somebody might be walking out there one day and gets struck and killed by an arrow? Insurance companies calculate the odds improbably things like that happening. It's almost like he's playing the odds. He seems to get a thrill from disasters happening.
You must be new here.
This is generally true, although it goes back further. American cinema in general greatly declined in the 70's. The popular films of the 80's are the "so bad it's good" type like Karate Kid. I suspect most other western countries went through the same decline.
The 80's Bond films are enjoyed because they are fun unlike the miserable garbage we have gotten since the millennium.
Yeah, a moron like Dwayne the crock Johnson.
