Q. Okay so its a great film and I am kinda looking forward to the next, seeing as how they will be reverting to the classic James Bond movies, but I have questions!
SPOILERS IN QUESTIONS LOOK AWAY IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN FILM!
1. M (Mom) says the F word, is this the first time in the series (I believe so..)
2. While in the Skyfall orphanage, Bond gets his fathers hunting rifle.. the last name was Bond... I was under the impression that all agents are GIVEN the codename/cover James Bond, how does his father have the name?
3. I was deeply saddened by what happened to the beloved M character... and I saw how they brought Moneypenny back, and how the new M is a man, like it used to be before Judi Dench.. My question is are you optimistic or a bit worried about the next Bond movie preformances.. I mean can the man become as good and as warming of a presence as Judi Dench? Will things change, more gadgets, less physical fighting? Thoughts?
4. While given the word association test the man says "man" Bond replies "provacator" (I think) then "woman" Bond says "provocatrix" what exactly does that mean?
5. When Bond digs the bullet shrapnel out of his shoulder and hands it in to be analized he says "for our eyes only" is that a homage to the Bond film?
6. While being hacked, Q says the s word 3 times in a row.. and as I mentioned earlier the F word from M.. Bond calls M a b.... is any one else kinda worried the Bond franchise will start using all those words, I honestly think it makes the film LOSE class.. and I curse every f...... day lol..
7. Also, this is just for fun; anyone else laugh when Bond threatened to eject M from the Austin Martin and M says "I dont care bloody eject me!" lol Judi Dench will be missed... I always found her presence to be warm and motherly.. hense the name Mom..

A. 1. I think so as well. Although they call her Ma'am.
2. Skyfall was not an orphanage, but the Bond estate where young James grew up. (In the UK, many larger residences have names.) Bond was orphaned when he was about 11 or so, when his parents (Andrew Bond and Monique Delacroix Bond) were killed in a mountaineering accident. Rather ironic that their home should be called "Skyfall," no? That was why his father's gun was in the domicile. That's also why his parents' headstone is on the property. The concept of James-Bond-as-job-title (like "Dread Pirate Roberts") is a fan-generated theory to accommodate why the spy in Dr. No served in WWII, but is still young and virile in 2012. I don't believe it's considered "canon." Just accept the fact that the James Bond in Dr. No is the same James Bond in Skyfall, and that certain incongruities will just exist.
3. Obviously things will change. They have to. That's life. You can't keep things the same if you wanted to, otherwise every Bond film would have been From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, or On Her Majesty's Secret Service. More/fewer gadgets? More/less fighting? More/less horizontal bopping? Who can say. I won't worry about it. What will be will be. So long as it works within the story, it's all good.
4. I don't know if "provocatrix" is an actual word, but I would take it to mean a female provocateur...one who incites someone to partake in or commit criminal acts. Basically, this means that Bond thinks nobody (male or female) is to be trusted. Remember Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale. Remember Moneypenny and M at the beginning of the film, the latter giving the former authorization to take the shot which seriously wounded Bond and let the bad guy get away. In his place, I'd have trust issues, too.
5. If you watch enough Bond films, you'll notice that the later ones have plenty of homages to previous films. To be truthful, though, the terms like "for eyes only" is not unique to Bond films. It means that the information is not to be copied or transcribed in any way.
6. If every other word is F-this or C-that, then yes, that would be troublesome. But if an obscenity is used only now and then, then that can help to underline the stress the character is under. Honestly, if you were the unflappable head of MI6 and you found out that your personal laptop was being hacked, wouldn't YOU let fly with a few S-words? Also, remember that when the first Bond films came out, there were no PG or PG-13 ratings. Goldfinger was right there with Disney's Jungle Book as a G-rated film! Unless they wanted to exclude kids and teenagers from seeing a Bond film by making it R-rated, they had to keep the language clean (LOTS of kids and teens watched those films...my brother and myself were among them!) Nowadays, any action film that wants to be taken seriously would probably HAVE to have a PG-13 rating. So yes, a little swearing can filter through. Also, Connery's Bond was a bit more "Tuxes and 'Tini's" than Craig's Bond (which is more "Blood and Brawling"). Reflections of the times (or at least, competing action films)? Possibly.
7. May the ghost of Bernard Lee forgive me, but Judi Dench was fantastic. Of course, it helped that they let her get out of the office and pick up a gun on occasion. And yes, I laughed the moment they showed the ejector seat button (I'm an old-school Bond fan, so I knew what it was for). But warm and motherly? Hardly. She was about as cuddly as a sack full of nails and broken glass. But considering that she's got to ride herd on a bunch of operatives that know they have very short life expectancies, are ready, able, and WILLING to kill people, and tend to work alone, rather than be "team players," she'd *have* to be a tough lady. And Dame Judi was perfect in portraying that role. And yes, I will miss her very, very much.

A. Yeah, I guess so.
2002 Spiderman vs. 2012 Spiderman?
Q. I saw the new one last night. To be honest, it was good and Andrew Garfield did a great job, but I still prefer the 2002 movie and overall I prefer Tobey Maguire. Some things I didn't like about the new one:
1. I thought Garfield was good, but wasn't nerdy enough. they didn't portray him as a very "nerdy" kid like Peter Parker is
2. For some reason, it really bothered me that the new Spiderman used home made spiderweb launchers on his wrists instead of it coming right out of him like the original ones. My dad says that in the normal comic books, he used webbing gadgets (I don't believe that's true) but to me it kinda made this spiderman less "spidier"
3. I thought Tobey Maguire was more of a "super hero" and had more "superhuman strength" and stuff like that. I mean, come on, when you get shot in the leg and are a super hero, that shit's supposed to tickle you
4. last but not least, I didn't really like the new outfit too much. I thought the old one was better
In conclusion, I thought Garfield was good and the movie was entertaining. i thought the story line was pretty good and the villain was ok. I still think Tobey played a much better Peter Parker even though Garfield is a hell of an actor

A. I agree with pretty much everything you said. The new one was really good, and will go down as one of my favorites, but the 2002 version is what I grew up with and it would have been really hard to top it
