General Public Perceptions of Bond
True story: I went for a job interview with an entertainment news agency recently and had to take a test on celebrity culture general knowledge. One question was "name 5 Bond actors". Obviously naming all 6 would be a bit of a tall order.

In the eyes of the public there are 4 Bond actors - not 6.

The Dame Judi Dench fan club
Saw Dame Judi last night on stage in Peter and Alice. Excellent play with teriffic performances from both her and Wishaw. Its nice to know that at her age she is still doing what she loves and does not live in the shadow of Bond.

Who/what do you REALLY love to hate?
Can I add one from the books? Maybe 'hate' is too strong a word for it but I really don't like the moment in YOLT when Kissy refers to her thong as her "black cat". The pussy innuendo was funny in GF but here it just seems …

Skyfall is my favorite Bond but should DC do an "epic" Bond film like TB or GE?
Well...lets remember that SF had a DB5 WITH GUNS. If thats not a bit of "the old" I don't know what is.

But what constitutes an "epic" Bond? CR could be considered epic because of the stunning cinematography and well filmed action. Ditto with SF.

But Craig already has shown he can do the stuff we have seen the Bond of the past do.

A certain amount of "over-the-topness" in Bond is fine, but you can't really do a film in the same tone as the "classic era" nowadays. As @actonsteve has said before stuff like Austin Powers makes all that stuff look dated a…

M for maiden? ;) Well ok...a woman in distress. Could Severine count as a 'damsel'? Probably not as she's the sacrificial lamb.

Skyfall is the closest we've had to "classic Bond" for a while. It's got the "cheesey one liners" (put it all on red), a sort of OTT villain (Silva has a big plan and is based in an abandoned island) and a damsel in dis…

I suppose HBO often have 12 or 13 episodes per season but didn't Friends always have closer to 24?

I really like both movies but for me Skyfall edges for the performances. As good as the story of Dr No is some of the supporting cast aren't all THAT great (and that includes Ursula who is saved by a strong, iconic character). Even in FRWL th…
