You lot are crazy. TWINE is nowhere near as bad as DAD. Yeah, TWINE loses points for Denise Richards and personally I thought the Bond villain's gimmick of not being to feel pain after being shot in the head was rather dumb. But it had that grit, it felt like a Bond film, Sophie Marceau was excellent, Brosnan was never colder as Bond than in TWINE
At least it didn't have invisible cars, Moneypenny having VR sex with Bond, the main villain being a Korean guy who turned himself into a white guy with Gene Therapy, a heavy with a bunch of diamonds in his face and Halle Berry cracking wise about the henchman's mamma. And at least TWINE didn't remove the best scene.
Like I said before, TWINE was at least half a good film. DAD was, at best, a good
idea for a film somewhere in all that mess.

It's not that she was beautiful. She was completely unconvincing.
Should have went with someone else. Should have went with Monica Bellucci. She and Sophie Marceau are like the female French cinema equivalent of DeNiro and Pacino, so often compared. They would have played off each other well.
But no, they went with Denise Richards. Why? Because she appealed to the MTV generation, and the Bond producers feared younger Americans thought Bond was old and uncool
