Film School Rejects: Could the Next Bond Film Get Political?

  • RobertFure · 5 months ago
    Bond isn't about being a political thriller. As long as its still all awesome, gun fights, explosions, and hot chicks and no old people talking I'm in.

    This is excellent news. I love the new smarter Bond. No more invisible cars and all that bullshit. There's plenty of room for politics, babes and shit blowing up.

    Agreed. I heard The Last King of Scotland was a really good movie and that Frost/Nixon was completely unnecessary, but I suppose that doesn't take away from anything if it was still good.

    hey Cole, do you really get paid to browse other movie sites and post articles about the news you read on them, and then add your own spin? Some people have it easy.

    Actually, he pays us to post here.

    Though, Dave, if that is your real name, let me tell you how Hollywood works. A studio makes a decision, such as hiring a writer. They then either A) issue a press release telling everyone or B) tell a handful of places who then report it.

    There is no Woodward and Bernstein action going on in Hollywood. Every story you read on every site has a 98% chance of having been reported somewhere else first. When you see the phrase "Exclusive" it means that site got it first. If you don't see "Exclusive" it means someone else broke it and now everyone is sharing. That's how it works. If it didn't work that way, there would only be 2 or 3 large organizations pumping out news briefs.

    Why wouldn't Dave be my name? Because no one is named Dave, right? That would be too common.

    Well anyway, you proved my point Robert. Not a very difficult job, must be nice. I think it's safe to assume as well that there isn't any clocking in for a shift at an office either, most of this "work" is done from the comfort of home. Then there are the free (often times early?) screenings.

    I guess you could say I'm jealous, are you guys hiring? haha, I only live 20 minutes away in San Marcos.

    Yeah I actually pretend to be called Dave just for the prestige that comes with it.

    Also while I agree that there some lucky sumbitches you can't critique someone for doing something that you would do in their position as that makes you a hyp-o-crite.

    Dave, this job is actually very difficult. We just make it look easy. ;)

    Whoa I would take that job in a second, I'm just saying it sounds like a cushy job. Before some douchebag comes in here with "oh I bet you would love this job, you probably work at McDonald's", I'm a graduate student at Texas State, with a part-time job on campus. I wanted to know what the process is to posting news. Yea my remarks were a bit sarcastic, but it is all in good fun. I frequent the site alot, and like the writers.
