[Potential Spoilers] Official SKYFALL Photo Thread (Part II)

Part I:

https://bondandbeyond.forumotion.com/t958-official-skyfall-photo-thread


more shots from April Ist London. Craig in front. Mommy in back.



Craig would appear to be driver, not passenger, as reported earlier. Steering wheels are on the wrong side of the car in England. It's easy for us North Americans to get confused.










He split his pants again. This observer is not impressed.


Nice little collection/re-cap of Craig in SF, photos at this link (the first 104 of the broader Craig collection). There maybe more. I quit looking after the first batch of SF photos ended.

"I swear to god...if M turns out to be Bond's mother, biological or adoptive, or in ANY WAY related to Bond...I'm going to seriously puke and give up on the Craig films. Even the fact his parents seem to factor in, and his family estate, makes me queasy. Just more reason for Craig to brood and be moody, and less of a chance for a "classic" 007 adventure."

He'd fit right in over here.

You really think so? As much as I criticise GS for sensationalising things and then bludgeoning us all with it, he at least has the decency to do it with something tangible. For instance, the video of Craig in a dress - it's not some hypothetical argument fuelled by baseless speculation.

This guy, however, is being alarmist based on something that might happen, but with absolutely no evidence to substantiate it. I haven't heard a single suggestion that M is related to Bond in any way - and, as I've done before (and at your request), I've outlined a potential plot point that explains Bond's family home, M's presence there and fits in with the rest of the story without being melodramatic.

Ironically enough, the guy who posted this message is panicing over the sky falling.

Not a joke, not a smart alec remark...but when does the first unit go to Turkey? Will the first unit go to Turkey?

For the past month on various message boards, you see people say "and now on to Turkey" or similar remarks. Then, the first unit shows up on the streets of London yet again. Obviously the second unit has been there for a while with all that video that has come out.

Steering wheels are on the Right side in the UK in more ways than one, thank you!

Is that a set of car keys in his pocket or is he just happy to see M? At least one part of him leans to the right.

Yes ironic, but his panic entertains. In light of the last film, alarmism over what this film might bring is quite understandable. His alarmism is rooted in what has come before, which of course includes Craig in frock. This is not to say the new film is necessarily going to disappoint, but it might.

He's always happy to see M of course, And all that driving on the wrong side of the car, has just played havoc with his pockets and caused all sorts of unnatural shifting.

No more Lodge! Goodbye! Skyfall Lodge as of March 31st.

These pictures I guess are from before the demolition.

The earth might get hit by a comet tomorrow, killing everyone. But I'm not panicking about it, because when I look up at the night sky, I don't see any comets coming for us.

In the same way, SKYFALL might be a disaster in the making. But until we see actual evidence of that, it's not worth getting worked up over something that might happen.

Actually, I think SF is shaping up to be an interesting film. Should be good entertainment. I'm getting that vibe. But I do fully appreciate the panic attacks. Keep em comin!

SKYFALL can go either way, at this point. We won't know until it plays on the big screen.

However, looking at the people writing and producing this, it's not absurd to think that this might turn out to be another rotten egg. Actually, I'd say there's more evidence that suggests this will be a turd than there is evidence suggesting this will be a masterpiece.

This is the kind of shit that gets under my skin.

You know absolutely nothing about this movie other than what the paparazzi has provided. You have no information, no insider selling you secrets, no script, nothing. You're making pure conjectures about all of this, attempting to fill in gaps with your limited knowledge and imagination. Thus, when you see the film, it's impossible for it to live up to your expectations because you've already created the ideal Bond movie in your head.

I'm losing faith in all online Bond fandom.

Come on, being a Bond-fan isn't about being a cheerleader for a film that hasn't even been released yet. There was plenty to bitch about in the last 2 films, the last 5 films for that matter, so some pre-SF alarmism and panicking is perfectly acceptable, therapeutic even.

Optimism is OK too, but not as much fun.

Back to regularly scheduled kvetching.

Bond is showing far too much ass-crack in this film, both in the blue-snuggies scenes and in his Captain Tightpants street galloping.

Does this spell the death of the franchise?:affraid: Discuss.

You will believe a man can fly!!!

Top secret guest pass, or did the Turkish teens make this with Windows docmaker?

Yikes. Did one of the kids on MI6book think slapping some text on a set pic makes a movie poster?

Judging by the "SMART AGENTS CAN FLY!" tagline - which makes no sense and is totally out of context - I'd say yes.

some guy on twitter posted it. it can probably be found again at #skyfall.

Craig is flying here, not quite like Rog in MR pts or Broz in GE pts, but he is airborne, albeit briefly.

I remember jokes being made about Tobey Maguire's skin-tight Spider-Man suit on the set of SPIDER MAN 3, but this picture really takes the cake. It's one thing for a suit to flatter a person's appearance, it's an entirely different matter for it to look ill-fitted. The jacket looks too tight, the seams look like they're about ready to burst on the pants....can the man even sit down or squat without splitting his pants at this point? Someone on the set has a lady-boner for Craig and it is getting in the way of making sensible decisions. Bond should not be in a suit so tight he looks like he was poured into it. Why are the clothes on Bond tighter than on the women? What happened to objectifying the women?

I'm not mad about his tailor, are you?

Confident it's the latter.

It's his skin-tight super-hero outfit, designed for maximum aero-effects when flying. For aqua-adventures, the suit can be peeled off at a moment's notice, instantly revealing the nut-crunching blue-snuggies water-wear.






Nu-Bond is Super-Bond!

Nope, he looks like he's trying to be a GQ model. Brosnan's Brioni stuff was immeasurably better.

Brosnan's looked too expensive and stuffy. Connery remains king on the wardrobe department, and pretty much everything else.
