mi6_cafeIt’s that time for the weekly chat again! Grab your tea and confectionaries and head on down for a chat!
Don’t forget that the weekly chat is open until Friday of next week (where I will post a new weekly chat post full of exciting mi6 café updates).
Please remember that anon commenting is on so you don’t need an account to join in the fun! If you are using anon comments, if you could put your name/handle in the subject line/body of the comments that would be fab (just so everyone knows who they are talking to!)
Weekly Recs
It’s time again for you to give your weekly recs! This week we’re looking for your favourite fics/art you’ve seen over the past week and those fics/art that fit into the genre of the week!
This week the genre of fanwork recs we’re looking for is: Short and Sweet. This week we want those fics/art that are short and to the point – maybe a ficlet that’s a few hundred words or a piece of art that is a sketch.
When reccing fic/art, please can you make a separate comment with ‘Week Rec’ in the subject title. If you’re commenting anon, then just put your handle in brackets after the ‘Weekly Rec’ bit - eg Weekly Rec (cass). This just helps your friendly mod hunt down all your links and put them into the weekly rec post!

Date: 2015-07-03 10:56 am (UTC)1. Skyfall. Just. I typed 00q in the search bar on tumblr and my life has not been the same since.
2. I have actually. My dad is a big Connery!Bond fan so, I have seen all of those. Some of Moore!Bond [My dad says that Moore was a sissy bond, lmao oh father], watched OHMSS [which is the best godddamn title for a Bond movie and one of the WORST MOVIES, and *shudders* Brosnan!Bond. Brosnan!bond got the "hacker villain" movies and cheap thrills of CGI land that don't hold up well. At all. Brosnan!Bond is my dad's least favorite Bond.
3. Connery!bond and Craig!Bond. Dalton!Bond get a mention too because he and Craig!Bond are the closest to the books when it comes to bond.
4. Honestly, the way that Q was written. Using him as a plot device was kinda campy. And.. uh ... retrieving that list? There wasn't a mention that the list was recovered. They nabbed Silva's laptop but no mention of the list. Maybe more of Silva being an asshole so I could hate him more as a villain. I usually love villains that get under my skin and piss me off so much [ahemumbridgeahem. ahemjasonisaacscharacterinthepatriotahem]

Date: 2015-07-06 09:16 pm (UTC)and yeah i agree. which is why i can watch them but they are movies that are trying to be serious when they're real campy. [joe don baker anyone? ugh [mst3k fans around?]] They do get shit on but a lot of people shit on Quantum of Solace, too.
QoS suffered because of that horrendous writer's strike. Personally, when i first saw it in theaters, i hated it. I didn't like it at all. It wasn't until I got the box set of all the movies when I decided to rewatch it and i was like: ...this....actually isn't that bad.
I feel like I really should rewatch Brosnan's films but...I just. I never saw him as Bond, imo. He's too nice of a guy. He wasn't an asshole enough to be bond to me. [which to me, daniel is a great fit because he's mr smexy and asshole enough to be an agent.] connery is like d craig's bond but a bit too much of an asshole, not enough agent. dalton was a great bond, and lazenby..... /sighs/ lazenby. Moore is kinda like Brosnan, he was /too/ nice as bond and not enough asshole. He also got some...horrible movie scripts, too. [moonraker MOONRAKER]
Re: Castillon
Date: 2015-07-06 09:40 pm (UTC)QoS wasn't too bad, especially compared with Bronsan's films. I feel like the cast tried to make it better and they did, Craig in particular.
Moore was even more of a nice guy than Brosnan. As much as I couldn't see Brosnan as gritty and violent, I could maybe picture him as a bit rough around the edges. Moore, definitely not. Connery was often too much of an asshole, agreed. Maybe because Fleming consulted the first three (?) films Connery was pretty close to the books, though I'd say Craig's even closer.
I really liked Dalton, I wish he'd signed the contract earlier when he had an offer, I'd like to see more of him. (tbh I bought Scarlett mini series box set because he was in it)
