No time to die

[Greg]

Bond 25 has a title and an April 8th release date.

And it begins in Jamaica.

Jamaica niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiccccccccccccee!

Now, it has a theme song. She's no Chris Cornell, but she'll do.

It kinda works for me. 

I was taken by Eilish when she first broke out and even have her CD, but after a few listens, it fell flat with me. I never thought she'd achieve the pop success that she has. I'm going to trade it back for something else next time I do some swapping.  It's such a emo goth downer. In this morbid fashion, the only way she can retain her authenticity now is to die young.  But she has no time.  Which is why this kinda works for me.

Maybe I'm just turning into a geezer, but I'm baffled by her popularity. Saw her on SNL and wound up fast forwarding. And I thought her performance of "Yesterday" at the Oscars was really weak, pretty much like watching karoake. I was surprised to see numerous praises of it. Maybe she's a good writer, but a super weak singer, and she doesn't seem to have anything else compensate.

Maybe I'm just turning into a geezer

Bro, we all geezers now.

James Bond: No Time To Die Delayed SEVEN Months Due To Coronavirus
No time to Die's release date has been pushed back seven months to November 2020 due to concerns about coronavirus.

No Time to Die's release date has been delayed seven months due to coronavirus. The film had already been impacted by the outbreak of the disease, with its Chinese premiere and press tour cancelled due to concerns. However, No Time to Die remained on track for its theatrical rollout in April 2020, with MGM putting together a very visible marketing campaign to hype up Daniel Craig's final adventure as James Bond (including a rather expensive Super Bowl TV spot). Excitement was continuing to mount for the movie, which was projected to possibly break the all-time James Bond opening weekend record at the box office.

With No Time to Die right around the corner, coronavirus continues to be a serious concern around the world. DC Comics recently cancelled convention appearances, Mission: Impossible 7 paused production in Italy, and Hollywood studios are forming coronavirus strategy teams as they deal with the situation. And now, the team behind No Time to Die has made the decision to postpone the film's release globally for several months.

Today on the official James Bond Twitter account, it was announced the film has been pushed back from its original April 2020 date and will now debut on November 12, 2020 in the U.K. and November 25, 2020 in the U.S. Other worldwide release dates will be revealed later.

MGM, Universal and Bond producers, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, announced today that after careful consideration and thorough evaluation of the global theatrical marketplace, the release of NO TIME TO DIE will be postponed until November 2020.

The tweet mentions the "global theatrical marketplace" as a deciding factor here. In the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, just about all of Chinese movie theaters have been closed, and it's possible locations in other countries eventually follow suit. China is the world's second-biggest film market (behind only the U.S.), so it's understandable why the No Time to Die team chose to delay the movie. Obviously, the studios and producers are hoping coronavirus is contained by November, allowing them to conduct business as usual around the globe. The Bond films have always been massive worldwide draws and have done sizable business during Craig's tenure. Spectre grossed $880.6 million back in 2015, and 2012's Skyfall crossed the $1 billion mark. MGM and Universal want No Time to Die in a position to be as successful as possible - particular since it has the highest production budget in Bond history. It'll be interesting to see if any other Hollywood studios shuffle their tentpoles around now that one domino has fallen.

With the move, No Time to Die is now in a more competitive window than before. Instead of being the biggest blockbuster in town (getting a three-week jump start on the summer movies), it'll now share the spotlight with titles like Eternals (November 6) and Godzilla vs. Kong (November 20), assuming those movies don't change release dates to avoid competition with 007. That being said, No Time to Die should still do very well in the fall; the Bond films have historically released in November (the last six came out in that month) and this one is a proper event to boot, being Craig's swan song. Even amidst the other genre picture, there'll be plenty of excitement for No Time to Die.

well, i have more time to review those craig movies now...

[Greg]

Kind of a bold move, considering we will probably all be dead in the fall.

[Greg]

There are currently for different channels showing Bond films. I've opted for Casino Royale.

[Drunk Monk]

I've opted for Casino Royale.

which one? this one? http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomFor...hp?tid=599

[Greg]

Of course. That's my go to Bond film. I flipped over to Goldfinger to see the Bond vs Oddjob fight. It's a lot less brutal, almost gentile, compared to what I saw in Royale.

Then there was Brosnan in Die Another Day. I popped in for the epee fight complete with Madonna in bondage maestro attire. Why doesn't PPFY where that. It was pretty horrible. Just as I vaguely remembered it.

[Drunk Monk]

Of course. That's my go to Bond film. 

There are like four versions now, right?

I popped in for the epee fight complete with Madonna in bondage maestro attire. Why doesn't PPFY WEAR that. 

Oh don't enable him.  Just don't.




Man, if fencing hotties wore that, I'd come back to ther sport.  And if only salles had weapons displayed like that...

Hold the phone...if Pierce is right-handed, isn't he wearing a left-handed jacket?

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

Yes, lefty jacket. No, bondage maestra attire.

[Drunk Monk]

Yes, lefty jacket. 

so dumb. one of the worst bond flicks ever, even with fencing and madonna.  although i still maintain view to a kill was the worst, and that was a local one with walken as the villain no less.  that makes it even dumber.

No, bondage maestra attire.

thank goodness.  and we don't believe you.  how long did you live in that alley off folsom?  there's no way that left your closet untainted...
