    Definitely agree. And thanks. Been reading it for years, and this is the only one I ever even felt like joining.

    You're going to get me into trouble


    CommanderBond and AJB007 are far better places for Bond discussion, and MI6 represents a funeral parlor at the best of times such is the inactivity

















    well..


    Ok, fair enough, I'll be honest, it is the best Bond discussion board for sure and I've experienced some others but they're not as busy or well presented as here, I'm not lying, but - it can just seem a bit dormant here sometimes that's all. That aside, it is the best forum for Bond discussions and all, but too many Administrators for so few people I've always noticed ?!

    Thesis is correct, all said

    But @Baltimore_007, MI6 is comparable to a dormant volcanoe. It has erupted and will again. I find it a very stimulating place, and have only been idled by it a small number of times. And that's not MI6's fault, but my need to do something, anything to escape monotony.

    Easily hands down. It feels like the time to drag the old "where did mi6.uk.co go?" question again...but I know we're not getting an answer on that, nor I'm not sure if we ever will. I think what would bring closure to that, is if we knew for certain, that all the old discussions are gone for good or not...

    But we can't live in the past can we? We have to live in the present. Bottom line: Mi6 Community offers the most welcoming, thoughtful, and supportive group of individuals not only in the 007 community, but on the web, from my experience. Great mod staff, great, passionate users, and always up-to-the minute news on all things Bond. There's no other place I'd rather be, and I hope to know all of you for years to come.

    Thesis 101

    I much prefer:

    Carver- 'When you remove Mr. Bond's heart, there should just be enough time for him to watch it stop beating!'
    Bond- 'I would have thought your TV show was torture enough!'
    Wai-Lin- 'LULZ'

    lol jk- as a matter of fact, when I read the thesis I started thinking of a better Bond vs Villain dialogue and couldn't so there ya go.
    Agree

    It is an absolute classic exchange. Certainly cannot think of another right now? So i will agree.

    I think only Bond and Dr. No's dialogue at the dinner table rivals that found in this scene. The only time Bond is told the plan by the villain where it really works, too in my opinion.

    Not the best, but some of.

    Never heard of that one- I'll check it out! I peek at Commanderbond.net now and then but this place is easily better

    Probably so, but there are many great verbal showdowns in the series...it's the most intense scene, so I would have to agree with thesis.

    Well, if FRWL was my number 1, then I'd agree with this. It's my #2 right behind GoldenEye, so I prefer the verbal confrontations between James and Alec in the statue graveyard and in the Janus jungle base. Still though, I do agree that Bond and Red Grant's confrontation on the train is one of the best, in fact, second best, just behind what I already mentioned.

    It's good, but I think Bond and Sanchez is the best, Bond and Goldfinger and Bond and Alec are good too.

    It's fantastic, but Bond and GF does have to be considered, if only for its iconic status.

    It's among the best to be sure. However, I'm also quite fond of Bond's meeting Blofeld in YOLT, Blofeld's spilling the beans about his plans to Bond in OHMSS, and Bond and Prince Kamal Khan's backgammon game in OP.

    I think my favorite is probably the laser scene involving Bond and Goldfinger in GF.

    Thesis 101 is so far off the mark it isn't true

    I can understand that though, it is a good sequence - but best Bond and Villain dialog ever ?, that covers a lot of ground - and that instance certainly wasn't it

    Whenever Moore and Lonsdale meet in Moonraker would probably be my favorite, couldn't pick one example, but you understand

    Also, Brosnan and Trevelyan,

    Moore and Steven Berkoff in Octopussy

    even Moore and Zorin every now and again

    Connery and Blofeld in Diamonds (wrong pussy et al)

    Connery and Dr No at the dinner table

    and so on, the examples are endless, but all said, last thesis is way off the mark, it's one of the best, maybe in the Top 20, but best ever ? - not a chance

    Thesis is incorrect again

    I still can't rate it as "the best". The dialogue between Bond and Dr. No is brilliant, same with Goldfinger, Largo, and Le Chiffre to just name a few..

    I've always preferred No's, Sanchez's, Orlov's, Le Chiffre's and even Goldfinger's exchange with Bond, but Grant is definitely up there.

    I like it in Thunderball.

    "The gun looks fit for a woman!"

    "You know alot about guns, Mr. Bond?"

    "No, I know alot about women."

    That is my favorite, but as far as a 'showdown', agree on FRWL.

    It's "No, but I know a little about women." Bond's understatement is what sells the joke.

    "Red wine with fish?..well that should have told me something"

    "you may know the right wines...but you're the one on your knees"

    "tell me...which lunatic asylum did they get you out of?"

    "The first one won't kill you...not the second...not even the third...not till you crawl over here and you KISS MY FOOT!!"

    There's a lot of good confrontations in the series but for me that one really does stand out. Agree.

    Sorry, seems like a soft spot. Better just lock me up and throw away the key. Goodbye cruel world, I'm too dumb to quote a film I haven't seen in 6 months. Hur durp gurdbey

    .....And all this wonderful dialogue is delivered immaculately by SC and the very under rated late Robert Shaw!! :-B

    ...Agreed, one of the best and I watched it on tv only the other day on ITV1 HD uk to which the film looked stunning!!. :-B

    I've got FRWL on Blu-Ray and have popped the disc in many times just to watch that one scene. Robert Shaw is just amazing...agree.

    Disagree. I like the scenes but I like others, too, probably better.

    I agree. It is not the seriousness of the films that has allowed them to reach 23 in the series.
