| Topic | it's messed up that movies used to look so good and now they don't |

So right at the beginning of the movie, Bond gets pushed out of a plane without a parachute by Jaws, and the other villain has already jumped out with a parachute. So Bond dives and catches the other guy midair, a fight ensues, Bond wrestles the chute off of him, the other guy is screwed and falls to his doom. Then a fight with Jaws in midair happens, as Jaws has a chute and has dived and chased after Bond now. The point of all this is that that entire scene took IIRC, 90-something jumps out of a plane to shoot. Even today it looks awesome. But today, that scene would be shot with green screen, wires, and giant fans. It would look phony as hell. --- 'We're not gonna make it, are we? People i mean.'
