Yes, from those snippets Craig seemed to do very well in that screen-test. It's all the more given he's got longer hair and looks as though he hasn't shaven that morning (so not at his most Bond-esque in terms of appearance. I also like the little d…

From what I understand the guy wasn't a very experienced actor. More so than Lazenby to be fair to him, but by his own admission he didn't have the chops to compete for bigger roles at the time. Apparently he started off as a rugby player, and this …

I think they should be more closely connected to the story personally. But then again it depends. If we got a PTS along the lines of GF or CR I'd be happy. If we had a FYEO type one I'd be less happy.

God Cubby and Harry were determined to have a Bond with sideburns in the 70s, weren't they?

Don't have kids myself, but I do have younger siblings/cousins I've shown Bond films to before. I get it, it's a tricky one trying to gauge what age is best to show them these films when they're young. This is going back a while now, but my young…

I'm actually 50/50 on this one. It really depends on what the film does with the location too. I suppose I'll go for Australia, although I'm sure there's a reason it's never been featured in a Bond film (perhaps too far to travel to/expensive to fil…

Yes, I must admit some of these shots of Connery make him look better than in the actual movie. It might just be a case where he looks visibly a bit older, or perhaps when some of the scenes were shot. Must say though, Connery's toupee looks pret…

I think the best PTS's of the series do a couple of different things. They help set up the story while also getting the audience hyped for the film ahead. For me my favourites are TSWLM, SF, GE and TLD. Ones that I'm more mixed on are OHMSS -…

Recast. As much as Wishaw will be missed it's better to start afresh.

-
I've said it before, but I don't think we'll be going back to Bond's first mission as a 00. It's territory that's been covered in CR anyway, and I doubt we'll be getting a Forever And a Day type story, but you never know. More unlikely is a story ab…

I don't think I've read enough of either. Maybe Gardner just for his earlier ones. They don't do much for me and I know the later ones get a bit daft. Must admit though, I've never been a fan of many of the continuation Bond novels, and I much pr…

Cruise isn't a bad actor by any means. I just think he just works best playing more impulsive and even arrogant/reckless characters. Even when he did movies such as Magnolia and Eyes Wide Shut this was the case. Hunt in the first two MI films felt m…

The fact is we don't know for sure. To be fair to Baker I think he was both a fine actor and had what one would call that 'x-factor', comparable to Richard Burton or Oliver Reed in many ways, but his career just didn't get to the heights of Connery'…

Maybe we should just agree to disagree as I think we're clogging up the thread :) Or at least continue in a more relevant thread as you suggested.
