Bringing Sexy Back: Why Fleming was wrong, Dalton was worst, and Sean will always be the best.
JimThompson45 said:[quote="marymoss"]Regan, I only used the phrase "angry and miserable" because it was used to describe Bond in the books and I felt it fit. Are you suggesting Fleming said he was angry and miserable, (because I…

Regan said:Gee, I wouldn't go as far as saying Dalton was miserable and angry in the first half of TLD. That's too exaggerated, IMHO. Yes, he doesn't look too happy... Especially when interacting with the stick-up-his-ass Saunders, bu…

What was the profession of Andrew Bond?
I was wondering that too. I assumed when I saw CR that Bond came from humble roots and then went to live with a rich relative when his parents died. However, apparently, I was wrong.

The Bourne Legacy's impact on Skyfall

[Possible Spoilers] Should Skyfall had been done Before the Brosnan era?
I guess but it wouldn't have happened. First, off what are the odds of someone else coming up with this story twenty years ago? However, let's say, hypothetically, they did. Yes, we would have seen M die, but I don't think we would h…

Anyone love Craig as an actor, but can't buy him as James Bond?
It doesn't have to be Bond or nothing. Me, I enjoy Bond, Bourne, Batman, the Jack Ryan movies, etc.

Goodbye to Judi Dench? (Contains Skyfall Spoilers)
M's not exactly a school teacher. She's the head of an international intelligence agencies. Those people can't always do the morally right thing. They have to get dirty for the common good.

Controversial opinions about Bond films
Here's one I think of often when I see rankings or read reviews-- Thunderball is overrated. Everyone else says it's one of the best Bond films and yet, I don't like it. It's near the bottom of my ranking list.

Skyfall - favorite act?
Even though it was predictable, I loved 7--Silva storming the inquiry building.

The Arc of Craig's Films (SPOILERS)
I can't see the hat thing happening. It's way too old fashioned. Most men don't even wear those kinds of hats anymore.

Why Blofeld is the best villain for a modern Bond film and should be in Bond 24.
bgh1968 said:I would love to see him unseen again...just a voice stroking a cat. No, that would seem hokey. Besides, how can there be closure on the character if he's not seen. That means he can never get caught. He'd just be an unseen vi…

I'm assuming that this is from a Fleming novel, but any self respecting villian needs a better name than Shatterhand.
