We Have All The Time In The World: OHMSS Turning 50

And their worst scene in the movie was their last. Not the best ends for arguably the film's most interesting characters.

 

I saw that story yesterday and wondered if I should open a Bond speculation/rumour/anticipation thread

 

I probably am being unfair, yes Marvel trot a lot of films out but it isn't like they're all Thor or Captain America films, and for all that people go on about Mission Impossible there were still only three in the 2010s.

I don't know, you just get a kind of drive and energy about other franchises, even if there'd three or four years between films, that you just don't get from BB and MW anymore. I think that's what irks.

Dear God, three Spectres in a row could be the death knell of the franchise!

This is true, imagine if they could have bought them back to face Rog!

 

Well this thread seems to have gone way beyond OHMSS, maybe it should be retitled general Bond chat!

 

Also remember that OHMSS was considered a box office and popular disappointment at the time. They did everything they could to ignore the events of that film in DAF (much like Star Trek II ignored TMP). DAF is more of a follow up to YOLT. Conner ignored Tracey's death because, as far as he was concerned, it never happened.

 

Miles Teller’s granny thinks he should be the next Bond! https://twitter.com/mupthequeen/status/1542206491691737088?s=21&t=55DM6UA6KVAz7y58OYDYtw

 

^ Well he's a more realistic choice than Prince William I guess

 

Though Prince William’s granny actually knows the Bond makers (and is even in one of the film titles).

 

She's even worked with 007

 

Being slammed around inside a mini-sub used as a wrecking ball could easily be fatal. Who’s going to get him down?

 

Bond probably wanted off the oil rig before it blew. I guess he figured if Blofeld wasn't dead after this he'd be in no shape to ever again be a threat to him.

Yeah, it's lazy but in the heat of the moment it probably made sense to him.

 

NARRATOR: He would, however, return exactly 10 years later to be a threat to him.

 

But also offer him a delicatessen, in stainless steel no less!

 

It's a lazy movie. Very lazy.

 

I didn't much appreciate Dr. No the first time I saw it. It didn't have any gadgets or big action scenes. Over the years though it has become one of my favorite Bond movies maybe because it's a more low-key story.

 

Dr. No is in my Top 6 Bond films. Its almost documentary feel to the proceedings is one of its strengths.

 

No, it's budget was so low and its has so little intrusive background music it feels like a documentary film crew is following Bond, Honey Ryder and Quarrel around recording their adventures for posterity. Dr. No has long stretches of nothing but ambient background noise and that's something that didn't stick with the franchise.

 

It's a look quick or you'll miss it detail but when Blofeld walks out of the oil rig base to make his escape the bathysub has an octopus on the nose.

I wonder if the Kevin McClory stuff was startitng to pick up speed by that time and they had to watch how many overt references they dropped? By The Spy Who Loved Me the McClory mess had torpedoed their chances of bringing back Blofeld or SPECTRE as the villains.
