On related news, Brosnan calls for more sex and violence in Bond movies. Calls the "no nipples" policy pathetic.

No shit. I can't remember the last one I bothered to watch one. Ridiculous kiddie-video-game violence and hot women who never show anything. No thank you. :shake:

[el borracho]

I hope it is Brosnan. He is a great Bond.

You mean like EVERY BOND MOVIE EVER MADE?

[Frazod]

Yep.

I own about 350 DVDs. Not a Bond movie in the bunch.

Ah. At least you are consistent! ROFL

[chief99]

He should also tell producers to cut the the 'over the top' unbelievable CGI stuff.

More supermodels in thongs would be nice.

[Deberg_1990]

Awesume! Brosnan is a great Bond. Frazod, you dont know what you are missing...

[Tribal Warfare]

Sean Connery Is the only Bond in my book, and the rest are pussies damnit

[Gaz]

I prefer Brosnan’s Bond films. “Goldeneye” is my favorite Bond flick.

Now, I am willing to concede that it might simply be that I prefer modern filmmaking techniques.

Heretic.

[Fire Me Boy!]

I'm in a the CLEAR minority when I say that my favorite Bond was George Lazenby... and it's not any surprise, then, that my favorite Bond movie is "On Her Majesty's Secret Service."


I heard the other day that the producers wanted Lazenby back, but his agent told him it would be a bad idea -- he'd get stuck with the part and never do any meaningful films... yeah. I hope Lazenby fired him, since he's done so much since then.

[Gaz]

I did not think Lazenby carried off “Sophisticated Bond” very well.

Can we all agree that Roger Moore stunk it up?

Looking for common ground.

[Hammock Parties]

Roger Moore was the man. Although he was pulling a Jerry Rice there towards the end.

[Pants]

Why are they still making those?

[Hammock Parties]

Why are they still making those?

Because people pay to see them. They're entertaining.

You WOULD find them entertaining.

Heck, I haven't even seen the last few in the theatre. In fact, I can't even recall ANY Bond movie I saw in the theatre.

The notion that Bond movies have somehow degraded in quality since 1962 is complete bullshit. If anything, they've improved.

[Fire Me Boy!]

Moore wasn't half as bad as Timothy Dalton (who I understand was offered the role before Lazenby, FWIW).

As much as I loved Moore in the old series, "The Saint," I hated him as Bond.

[Hammock Parties]

Timothy Dalton would have been better as a villain.

Instead he was...EVIL BOND! ROFL

I disagree. Non of the later Bond movies come close to the first four. And "From Russia With Love" was the all time best best in my book.

[Hammock Parties]

"Pussy Galore."

Also, the sequence in "Goldfinger" where they gas all the guys around Fort Knox is HORRIBLE. You won't see any action scene as bad as that one was in any of the recent Bond movies.

[Frankie]

Dalton did a good job. I liked him enough.

[Frankie]

"Pussy Galore."
That was in Goldfinger and a character straight from Ian Fleming's book.

[Gaz]

I am willing to entertain the proposition that the smirking, goofy version of Bond was not entirely Moore’s fault, but was imposed by the Producer or Director.

“Live and Let Die” and “Octopussy” were abominations.

Dalton came along when they were trying to "gritty" Bond up a bit. That, IMO, missed the whole point of the Bond concept.

Grew up with old school Bond, but likes the new, sleeker version.

[Hammock Parties]

Goldfinger was the fourth bond movie.

And who cares if it was from the book? It's still part of the cheesy Bond formula. There's nothing wrong with that. It's what makes the movies enjoyable.

Pussy Galore in 1964

Xenia Onatopp in 1995

Are you serious? Bond has been smirking and goofy from the beginning.

I suppose you prefer invisible cars and quick brake and direction reversal while traveling 100 miles an hour on a pure sheet of ice.

Bond gadgets have always been outlandish. Exploding briefcase? A frigging jetpack?

[Gaz]

Bond was sly from the beginning. A nod and a wink between the movie and the audience, acknowledging that it was all in fun. That is a LONG way from the smirking and goofy mindset of “Live and Let Die.”

Hated the Moore Bond flicks.

I think he said he likes the new movies more. pwnd.

Except when Bond would quip something funny maybe twice in an early movie, in the later ones his every other line would be an attempt at comedy. The former, is realistic with anybody with a dry sense of humor. The latter, has made the character into a clown.

[Frankie]

Compare your examples to mine. Which ones are more doable in real life. Bond was meant to be just one or two steps less realistic than real life. Not a comic book.

Nope. I already said that I prefer the Brosnan Bond.

Are you seriously arguing it is just as impossible to spray a dead body gold as reversing directions at 100 miles an hour on a pure sheet of ice?

Both are pretty outlandish and stupid, but still entertaining.

You can bet your sweet ass Sean Connery would have been driving an invisible car or something similar back in the 60s if they had the technology to make it look good.

DURAN DURAN -- A View To A Kill! PBJ
A View To A Kill,.... The worst Bond movie, EVER.

[Fire Me Boy!]

A View To A Kill,.... The worst Bond movie, EVER.
While A View to a Kill is not great... ANY of the three Dalton did were a lot worse. At least A View To A Kill had Christopher Walken in it.

BLASPHEMY!!!!! I liked both Dalton flicks. And I thought Walken was waisted in AVTAK.

Yes, but "For Your Eyes Only" was superb.

Moore wasn't bad. Waaay better than Dalton, and Lazenby isn't even worth discussing.

I do like Brosnan quite alot, but I've liked him quite alot since Remington Steele and everything since, so it's no surprise.

I do agree that Connery was better than Moore. I've got it as:

Connery = Brosnan

Both > Moore > Dalton > Lazenby

[Amnorix]

I have liked some of those songs. Though I agree others WERE crappy.


For Your Eyes Only, Goldfinger (God only knows why I like this song), World is Not Enough. All good.

Some -- horrendous.

[Fire Me Boy!]

Both > Moore > Dalton > Lazenby

Ok... I realize I'm in the minority liking Lazenby, but SERIOUSLY!!!! You think Lazenby was worse than Dalton???? That's ****ed up.

:spock:

[Calcountry]

More supermodels in thongs would be nice.Bond should be killing bad guys while fugging broads, I mean simultaneously, all through the movie. Then for his one liner, and I don't even need Cialis for that.

[Amnorix]

Ok... I realize I'm in the minority liking Lazenby, but SERIOUSLY!!!! You think Lazenby was worse than Dalton???? That's ****ed up.

:spock:

Lazenby was in one movie, and frankly, it was a bad one. Not all of it was his fault. Everything was bad about it, from script to directing to everyone thing. Lazenby, unfortunately, takes the fall for it all.

Okay, if it makes you happy, I'll revise:

Both > Moore >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dalton = Lazenby


:D :p

[chief99]

The producers of Bond said a couple of years ago that they were going PC so they made Bond monogamous. That ruined the franchise right there. Thats why guys go to see Bond : All the hot girls.

[Frankie]

Connery = Brosnan

Both > Moore > Dalton > Lazenby

Mine:

Connery >> Brosnan > Dalton > Lazenby > Moore.

I like Roger Moore as an actor in other roles. He was to the Saint what Connery was to Bond, But he truely messed up Bond, and for too long.
