  1. I agree.

    I was hesitant to click on this topic because I wanted to see that people went to see Skyfall, but I don't want the movie to be spoiled as there's a chance I may see it very soon...

    I don't usually mind movie spoilers because I usually forget the spoiler once I'm immersed in the movie itself, but this is different for some reason...
  2. Agreed if there were spoilers, but pleasingly there are none.

    Unless you count knowing that a Bond movie has a villain as a spoiler..... :/
  3. THERE ARE VILLAINS?!?!

    My entire world view has been shifted and turned upside down!

  5. It's extremely clear who's the villain.

    Adele is the villain for using her song to take the spot Supremacy rightfully deserves.
  6. I think Adele's song is more suitable than Supremacy. However, the latter is the better.

    Just saw Salt. I would normally rate it 6.5/10, but Angelina Jolie is in it, so that makes it a 7.5/10.
  7. Just saw Skyfall. So much amazingness that I can't even understand it. I might have to watch it again. And surprisingly, I felt it was an extremely thought provoking movie. Most Bond films, ie all the others, aren't really too thought provoking in that the scenarios don't really have much "real world" applications and parallels. But this one does.

    In an effort to not spoil the movie, I will simply say that there is one scene in which a character delivers a monologue that is probably the most profound and relevant thing I've heard from a movie in a very, very long time. I almost want to create a Skyfall topic so I can discuss the movie with others who saw it...

    I will agree that Adele's song is far more appropriate given the scene in which it follows. However, Supremacy is indeed the better Daniel Craig Bond song. It really encompasses all that his character stands for.
  8. Well, we have got spoilers now.

    I think you are talking about the rat thingy? I loved how Bond said 'Last rat standing' at the end.
  9. Watched Skyfall another time (a cam version from The Pirate Bay)

    I love the moment when M recites Ulysses.

    We are not now that strength which in old days
    Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
    One equal temper of heroic hearts,
    Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
    To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

    The rat thing was incredibly clever. Amazing way to introduce the villain. Also an amazing way for Bond to see him out the door. But I was referring to M's entire monologue. Her entire response to the idea that the world had no need for espionage was absolutely ingenious! Albeit we probably don't live in a world where espionage is an absolute necessity, the idea that our world is in fact not becoming more transparent in spite of all the technological advances is a totally relevant point. We're all connected to social media in one way or another, but does this mean we are truly more in touch with each other? When M points out that our enemies now live in the shadows, there are real-life parallels. Perhaps our enemies do not take the form of cinematic villains, but maybe they take the form of things we manage to keep hidden from those around us.

    The best part of that scene is how we see Bond running through London as she speaks. Best cinematic effect of the film, imo.
  12. I saw (again ) Forrest Gump yesterday

    Awesome movie , one of my favourites
