    I am no computer wiz, so I have struggled more than 20 years to get this site up and running, but now I think it is finally ready to be visited.

    So I was playing around on that Make a Bond name generator website and well... @Thunderfinger, I think you're going to need to see this. :))

    "Bond is a heavy smoker, at one point smoking 70 cigarettes a day" (wikipedia). I don't smoke, but that seems like a lot! Still, it would be a kick to see Craig light a few up. I don't think he's smoked at all on film, has he? It's a shame the world has become so PC in many ways. Thank God for old films like Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep and Murder My Sweet when Bogey and others would light 'em up. It goes with the character. I guess Craig makes up for it by drinking--"too much" as he said. And speaking of PC, I recommend the book Iron John by Robert Bly, if you haven't read it yet--it's partly about the Wild Man and the wildness in every man. Stay wild my friends.

    I was quite chuffed to see on the Mark Gatiss special on the history of Bond, even they came up with Thunderpussy. ;-) ... and it would have to be a Roger Moore film

    @Thrasos, Daniel smoked a lot in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

    I don't see the smoking issue as a PC thing, but a social change. Smoking isn't this "cool" thing anymore (not that it ever was) and while back in the old days commercials and ads tricked you into thinking that cigarettes were actually healthy to smoke, these days we know the actual truth and their negative health effects of which there are no positives. Funny you bring up Bogie, because his social habits of heavy smoking are part of what led to his early death, and made us lose out on untold classics in his later life. Not worth it in the long run, at all.

    I think Dan's Bond reflects a modern take on the character, who couldn't sustain that heavy life of smoking if he were to be in the fitness he is to operate. He's a guy that seems to be very fit, taking some vices here and there but nothing over the moderation limit. You wouldn't find him chain smoking or at the bar at all hours, is what I mean.

    Fleming's Bond was often aware of the health effects of his lifestyle and the dangers were pointed out to him, so the books don't exactly stand in favor of those kinds of experiences or uses of your time and we see what Bond's choices get him, which often isn't good. I think Fleming himself knew he didn't need another pack of cigarettes on top of what he already smoked daily, but there you have it. Like Bogie, we lost a fascinating man because of the vices that he knowingly let erode him. Not what I'd call wild, but certainly not smart.

    To be fair, I think Skyfall illustrates the exact opposite of that. If Craig's Bond makes it to retirement, I think it paints a picture of what his life might look like.

    Craig drinks loads in his movies. He gets hammered in QoS and SP and spends his time off at the bar in SF. In fact, he probably drinks more than most Bonds have done, on average. Certainly over the moderation limit.

    I think only the alcoholic could have come up with The Vesper (especially on a whim-- the man knows his alcohols and how they mix!).

    @Mendes4Lyfe, it may be my old age afflicting my memory, but when does Bond get hammered in SP? It's apparent he's pissed off and wants a drink after maddy shuts him down in the clinic, but I can't re-call a scene where he drinks, let alone gets hammered...

    He gets smashed off his t@ts and tries talking to a mouse half way through.

    I think he's always drunk. It's Bond's big secret.

    Well, I suppose he did talk to a rat in DAF too. At least he's consistent in his interactions with furry rodents.

    @Mendes4Lyfe -- thanks for reminding me... Wow... goes to show this film really dragged for me (and I thought I liked the L'American scenes)...
