  • When I first got into Bond my favorite would constantly shift between Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton. But since Daniel Craig's debut I can pretty much safely say he's my favorite. But even typing that just now I feel like Moore might still be my sen…
  • I don't think the Bourne Identity or 9/11 spurred the change as much as people are saying. The Bourne Identity was only a modest success, especially by Bond standards. And OTT entertainment didn't end after 9/11. I think what it mostly came down…

  • ThomasCrown76 wrote: » They did bring the series back to a level of success it hadn't seen for a long time. I get it, it just will kill you to say anything nice about the Brosnan films. I'm the same way about the roger moron movies. I'll ha…
  • ThomasCrown76 wrote: » Brosnans films all made a shit ton of money no matter how hard you try and spin it. I'm not disputing that his films made money. Every Bond film has. I'm just stating the fact that Brosnan's films made less money than…

  • Mansfield wrote: » I don't think you got my last post. I mean it's trivial that he hasn't used a silenced PPK since he has used a silenced pistol in a film already. It doesn't say anything to his style or character in the same vein as Moore's char…

  • Mansfield wrote: » DoubleOhhSeven wrote: » Craig doesn't use a PPK until QOS and he's stuck with it ever since. I see, but even then, this is sort of a dubious distinction since he has used both just at separate times. Silenced PPK.
  • Mansfield wrote: » DoubleOhhSeven wrote: » That's a P99 not a PPK. Hmm, does he use the same model in the hotel sequence? Craig doesn't use a PPK until QOS and he's stuck with it ever since.
