They really need to give Christoph Waltz that gig sometime soon.

That still is 30 years old, probably. Maybe more. I am assuming that is from Live or Let Die. |

The Coming Soon section at my theater has a glut of knockoff spy films coming soon. Spy, Man froM UNCLE, and I write this watching Kingsman. Maybe confirmation bias or something, but thought it interesting.

Hollywood is not creative. They're essentially playing the same game as those crazy little studios that make films with similar names to (presumed) blockbusters in the hopes of getting a little Redbox revenue from the easily confused. Except with multimillion dollar budgets. Nobody knows what the public's going to like, but big movies always get people interested. They've honed riding coat-tails to a science. |

I wouldn't say three is a glut. Also generally they put on trailers for stuff that they think will appeal to the people who are watching the movie. If you're watching a romantic comedy, they're going to put at least a couple trailers for romantic comedies on. If you're watching a Superhero movie, they're going to advertise other Superhero movies and summer blockbuster action movies. You go to see Kingsman, and yes, you might be the kind of person that would enjoy Spy or Man from UNCLE, so here are some trailers for you. People watching Insurgent this weekend probably aren't going to be seeing trailers for Child 44. |

I would say the quality of the movies contributes to "glut or not" almost as much as the quantity. 2 volcano movies was MORE THAN enough 18 years ago this summer. |

New trailer.
If what I think it's suggesting is true, fuck them. How dull and obvious.

I'm not even sure if the trailer is any good because I'm so biased. First weekend viewing for me.

Ok, at least this trailer opens up the possibility that while Waltz' character has a personal connection to Bond, he's not necessarily Blofield.
...You know, an interesting shakeup of the whole mythos would be if Bond actually seriously considered joining a SPECTRE that wasn't all about trying to get a nuclear war started but was instead about independent covert power that wasn't under the control of a single nation--a kind of world-govt MI6--given how often his own handlers are either corrupt or fuck-ups.

The last two movies have been so disappointing, I'm not sure what to think about this one. I'm very skeptical.

Trailer seemed to hint at Bond drifting back towards Brosnan and screamed awful writing.
But then, the writing credit does that anyway.
No doubt I'll watch it anyway and dislike it as much as the last two. I keep meaning to rewatch Casino to see if the first half of that film is actually as good as I remember, or if it was just the shock of Daniel Craig being awesome that carried it.

First half of Casino was great.
Didn't like Skyfall much, it was too much of a action chase movie. The pacing like a Terminator film, very few subtle work except maybe at the beginning. I would expect to watch more of Bond infiltrating places & garrotting people. Also way too much Judy Dench but at least she got killed off, was borderline a buddy film, Bond is supposed to be a lone wolf.

I think I would have liked Skyfall better if it didn't have an especially idiotic version of the "bad guy wants to get caught" trope at its center and if Bond's origin story hadn't turned out to be a repurposing of Batman's origin story. Casino Royale did a better job hinting at Bond's background and underlying motivations in the scene between him and Vesper--if they'd built off that better, Skyfall would have been much more interesting.

I liked Brosnan much, much better than Craig. He had the whole "smarmy English boy who is almost but not quite serious" parts of Bond down pat. Daniel Craig is just moping around Gotham City, screaming at ethnically ambiguous thugs.

All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu. This is the truth! This is my belief! At least for now...

Brosnan was not a good Bond. He was better than Lazenby, I'll grant him that much. I'm still sad that Dalton only got two cracks at it. Timing has never been the Bond production team's best asset.
