• No Time To Die

    From Ted Nolan @21:1/5 to All on Sun Oct 31 06:13:17 2021
    Just saw "No Time To Die". I had managed to avoid all spoilers
    in the iterim, so I had no idea where it was going untill it went
    there. Wow. I think they will have to drop all the supporting
    cast for the hard reboot or it won't work.

    It wasn't a perfect movie. First let me say the obvious: It went on
    at least half an hour too long. Also there were a few rough patches
    like Bond being out of character during the interrogation of Blofeld
    (though you could say he was taking the persona he thought he should
    it didn't totally work), dragging in a horror trope unexpectedly,
    and the big bad being a bit wooden. Was it a good movie though?
    Yes it was, and a fitting send-off for Craig. People will argue
    forever about who was the best Bond, but it's hard to imagine
    Craig won't be in one position or another in the top two.

    Also, normally if someone asks the question: "What was it about?",you
    would say, "Well, some madman has a continent-spanning plot to take over
    the world and Bond has to...". This time, if someone asks, "What was
    it about?", you say: "It was about James Bond".

    Would it have been more interesting if he had found time to die?

    For all of us, in the end, the time finds you.

    My movie viewing is down to DVD of Dr. No with Connery. Scraping the Hollywood barrel for quality.
