All Mankind will become famous soon enough. Eventually. Maybe.

We are not amused.

In fact this datum alone makes me question why Agent Bond ever became such a fixture in my culture. Why did I need his traditional martinis; his gadgets, his women, his boyish adventures? No more than a security blanket. Let us thank the James Bond franchise for finally opening our eyes to its redundancy, and then put it away with our childish things. Surely there are more worthwhile things to pursue, even for light entertainment?

Die another day is terrible. Shitty cgi and they didn't go over the top in the correct way. Car chases are boring and invisible car chases are even worse. If you can make stuff invisible you make theevil fortress invisible and the bad guy invisible. The only poit of cars is to look at them, making it invisible is like the dullest use of invisible technolgoy.
Also there was no seen of outrunning the space laser with it burning a hole behind them. And no scene of Bond reprogramming the space laser to heat up his drink. And the bad dude wasn't cartoonishly over the top and only wanted to murder a few koreans. And the bond girls were fugly.

Live and let die is fucking ace though.

Didn't a laser follow right along behind the plane at the end? Also, if you remember, the bad dude was a cartoonishly over-the-top Briton who used to be a cartoonishly over-the-top Korean dictator (before plastic surgery). Seems like this would make it zany enough.

Man I don't remember the laser chasing the plane- I take that bit back.
The villain was boring though. He didn't talk a lot. He just glowered. And he had diamonds in his head but they didn't refract into lasers. He should have had them in his hand then use them to scratch people to death.

Is he in the barrel of that gun? Apparently now bond doesn't even need to shoot you. He'll just waltz up and detonate it from the inside, obviously using some government designed shrink-ray-watch-coffeemaker.

Default You can tell 'cause it's in black and white and only true artists do stuff like that
Clearly a lot of thought and artistic genius were put into this poster.

Hm, ya'll are a lot more critical of the poster than I was. I thought it had a nice "classic" feel appropriate for the 50th anniversary of the franchise.

Anyways, who cares, because the teaser trailer is here!



To quote reviewer Garth Franklin: "Beautifully colourful and rich shot compositions without a shaky cam in sight - glorious."

He was the Oddjob of the villainous pair.

The other, of course, involves orcs.

That movie was definitely channeling the wackier James Bond movies because I the movie-goer am supposed to suspend my disbelief enough to believe that you can take a North Korean dictator and flawlessly alter his looks, personality, voice, and accent enough in like, six months to make him a perfect doppelganger for a British nobleman (and teach him impeccable fencing!).
