Obvliously nintenho just doesnt understand the building sinking. They removed the support pylons from the bed so they can replace the timbers with composite ones that dont fall apart. The house is temporarly supported by the air bladders. Then after the pylons are put back and the house is rested and connected to them. They then redo the home and it looks fantastic and new. The whole city has to replace thousands upon thousands of the pylons. Costing millions upon millions of dollars. Its crazy, but that house was not really sunk. Its all CGI and a huge set that moves on actuaters and has a tank for water.

I thought that scene was handled very well.

You realize venice is a metropolis with only the historical buildings and restaraunts on water?

And pretty much any building is built a couple dozen feet away from edge of the street because the waves do a lot of damage over the centuries (that's the only part of venice I know of being rebuilt).

Because all the tourists would want to go visit those buildings that are NOT built on the water. Which is what Bond and Vesper are.

What warehouse are you talking about? It was an abandoned building scheduled for renovation, which coincidentally would make a good place for villains to have a secret meeting, hence the reason they were there.

Bu-bu-but WHY WAS A BUILDING ASSPLODIN

Catz · « **Reply #205 on:** March 22, 2007, 04:47:33 PM »

It wasn't a warehouse. It was a an abandoned house going through renovation in Venice. That's why there were industrial sized air-filled supports underneath to help keep it afloat. The building wasn't key to the plot, the location was just there to intestify the action.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #206 on:** March 22, 2007, 05:32:08 PM »

I don't see why you can't take a little criticism of the movie. Daniel Craig, Bond, anything is the opposite of zoolander so you have that look and you'll automatically annoy me and pretty much anbody else. The house was annoying to me because they could at least try something more interesting then a big abandoned building to blow up.

Except all those people who saw it in theaters. That made it you know, the biggest Bond film at the box office of all time and was one of the top 5 highest grossing movies of year.

Or did all of them walk out the movie? The movie was a GIGANTIC success at the box office, extremely high reviewed(the highest reviewed mainstream movie of the year, period) and beloved by the public.

You can't see why it met all of these?

Actually when you go through my posts it's funny.

I never even gave a shit about the series.

I just don't get why there's fans of it (it's fucking Bond) and I at least expected half the thread to be criticism of it (I didn't read it because I knew I didn't share Willco's or Solo's opinion) so I threw out a funny picture. It's just a dumb summer movie to me.

Cheebs · « **Reply #216 on:** March 22, 2007, 06:27:24 PM »

Plus why would half the press be criticism? ALMOST NO ONE DISLIKED THE MOVIE. It had some of the best reviews of all movies this year.

How is Bond any different than other franchises with fans be it Star Wars or whatever? Why can't it have fans? (other than the fact its more of a "sexy" franchise in its perception)

brawndolicious · « **Reply #217 on:** March 22, 2007, 06:29:55 PM »

Star Wars is pretty crappy actually. Bond movies are repetitive and about the explosions, that's pretty obvious.

And I expected people in this thread to dislike this in comparison to other Bond movies.

Do you even know what the true basis of Bond is about? Read fucking Casion Royale. Bond was NEVER supposed to be the Roger Moore-like type in the books, nor was he even portrayed that way in the first few Bond flicks. Connery in Dr. No, From Russia with Love, and partialy Goldfinger was always smooth and cool, but hardly EVER lame and cheesy–he was a badass. Those first few films are the CLOSEST to coming near the book's quality in the whole effing series, because Bond in the novels was a hardass as well. He was calm yet sort of an asshole, not some pansy ass clown like in the 70s Bond flicks. He has a very basic view on life (until

) and a pretty primitive nature wrapped up in an English gentlemen front.

That's why the Casino Royale movie is one of the best in the series. It's the closest we've gotten to Bond's original character with an actual believable story. None of that THERES A LASER ON THE MOOM BRB GONNA GO POOP ON IT crap.

And how can you say there was no impressive action in the film? The chase sequence with the black dude was one of the best effing actions sequences EVER.

I'm seriously contemplating pooping in your mouth, but it would be a waste considering you're already full of shit.

Here's what happens dick:

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Vesper was a double-agent. She was being blackmailed to be such. She needed the money to pay off the secret organization so she could have her old love back. Bond and Vesper were in Venice while traveling. She goes to the bank to get more funds, only really she went to deposit all of the winnings out of the bank to give it to Black-Patch dude, who's rendevous point is at an abandoned building somewhere on the outskirts of the main area in the city. Bond realizes what the shit is up and follows. He makes himself seen to Black-Patch, and then they shoot at Bond. Bond follows them in the building, and shoots the supports that make the building go fuck-shit insane. Vesper is put into an elevator shaft that is locked. Bond kills the baddies and tries to save her, but the building is collapsing, thus taking Vesper down with it. Bond calls M, "The bitch is dead," end of fucking movie.

How....HOW can you be so fucking confused over this shit? The building collapsing was just PART of the damn sequence that MADE Vesper die. They filmmakers weren't just like "oh yeah Vesper's a double-agent and she'll be going to give the guys the money, SO LETS BLOW UP A FUCKING BUILDING." Besides, the building COLLAPSED, but "blown-up."
