    This IMO is a silly thread but it's deteriorating rapidly and needs some moderator intervention.

    Binned several offending posts from @Bond50
    But what never ceases to amaze me, is that people still feed the trolls.

    I was just thinking of this. I think the Bond producers deserve a little extra congratulations for the massive success of 'Skyfall'. And also, to encourage them to continue on the same high quality level. Is this a nice idea? Perhaps the owner and moderators of the website have some suggestions?


    Silly idea.

    Let's thank them for making millions of dollars at our expense?.

    No thanks

    Glad to see I'm not the only one. Thought I was going mad for a minute. The discussion Stasi can do that to you.

    I'm with you gents. Is everyone around here 7 or something?

    SF was extremely good dont get me wrong but not perfect and the 50th anniversary was pretty abjectly handled so there is still room for improvement. And I dont think you get that improvement by telling them we all so eternally grateful for them doing a competent job. I apologise if by striving for 10/10 not merely 9/10 it ruins your 'SF is untouchable' jamboree.

    If you go ahead and send this then just be consistent and make sure you send one slagging them off if they give us another DAD.

    And I dont think we're being negative and curmudgeonly by raining on your parade, just trying to inject a little sanity and realism into things.

    A grand idea:

    A massive thank you for reaching new heights, since you've continued your Father's legacy, I'm sure he'd be very proud.

    I hope Skyfall is only the launch pad from which further films will follow. The only way is up, keep moving forward.

    Thanks go to Cubby, Harry and of course Ian Fleming for starting a great film series. Its had its highs and lows though i love bond. May bond endure in the same way Sherlock Holmes has though i think its reached that bench mark now. Bond will never die, bond will take the odd hiatus though will never die another day.

    Why did you waste our time by responding? This is the problem starting up again, the negative people can't stay out of threads where they don't belong 8-|

    If you would like to learn how to react to comments like mine in style I refer you to JWESTBROOKS answer to my post. I'm still grinning about it.

    Point taken. Therefore, ergo, and thus I will defer to the class of Benny's response to Bond50, as I happen to like QOS :P

    "EON, you make me laugh, cheer, gasp and cry, and I can never repay you for all the wonderful work you have done for the past 50 years. Just as Tennyson states in Ulysess, Bond will continue to survive in an every changing world of challenges, always coming out on top. Nobody does it better, and that will still be said another 50 years from now."

    This is really great, but I'm running low on space, could you shorten that up s bit?

    I am happy, this idea came through. It didn't seem that way at the beginning.

    My thanks goes especially to Barbara for being brave enough to fight for Daniel, who proved to be one hell of a great Bond. As a team, you gave a flawless performance of dedication and the strong will to make it good.

    You, too please make this masterpiece a little shorter, I do not have much room.

    Here's mine to send um .

    Dear Mikey G. & Babs,

    Thanks for another half fast Bond film your father Cubby continues to roll in his grave Congradulations you have brainwashed most James Bond fans with your latest messy film Skyfall, but not all of them including myself .

    In the next ones could you please not leave holes throughout the films and get some new material not rehashed memories from the true classic Bond films. It's also time to re-cast the role of Bond most audiences don't care to see Vladimir Craig in a wheelchair much less his lil blue swim trunks again.

    Please spend more money this time also and bring back the lavish big sets ,Better Bond girls and the gadgets that are trademarks of the films.

    Please make Bond 24 and 25 better than the last 3 films EON has suckered the public with. Please don't let Mendes direct them either I think American Beauty 2 or some other suburban madness film better suits him.

    Very Truly Yours.
    J.J.K.

    Great! please, much shorter though @bond50
