The Best Casino Royale On Her Majesty's Secret Service From Russia With Love "The Living Daylights" Dr No
-
It's the MTV generation. There constantly has to be something going on, or they get bored and change the channel. In our day in order to do this you had to get off the sofa, walk five or six feet, and turn a knob. And in most places there were only …

I'd say my three are "Casino Royale," "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," and "From Russia With Love."

Dr. No by a country mile. From the moment Connery utters the line "Bond, James Bond" you know this is indeed Fleming's superspy, Agent 007. Plus Jamaica, Ursula Andress, and the incomparable Joseph Wiseman in the title role.

Currently a third of the way through Benson's "Doubleshot." It's actually pretty good.

So as I understand it, if someone wanted to remake TSWLM using Fleming's original novel as the source material they wouldn't be able to do so until 2072, is that correct?

Oh and if we want to talk about intelligence failures let's talk about 9/11, when the CIA knew there were two known Al Queada terrorists in the US and didn't inform the FBI of this fact for eight months, just two weeks before the attacks.

With all due respect I don't think this is the time or place to bringing either religion or poltics into the discussion. I just feel and grieve for the victims and their families.

Hey if Bond couldn't turn a lesbian into a heterosexual woman he wouldn't be Bond. But remember in Goldfinger we don't have just one lesbian but two (Tilly Masterson). I agree in the film it's even less apparent than with PG but it's still there. I …

It was done in the film version of Goldfinger as well. As far as I know, James Bond is the only man who has ever been able to successfully turn a lesbian into a heterosexual simply by having intercourse with her. Okay I know there are some who are g…

Wow. We're getting really deep here all of a sudden. I honestly hadn't thought of this. But you're right, people die. And you raise a good question, if one of our beloved members were to "shuffle off this mortal coil," would we want to know this? No…

Well I guess they felt the naked girls were too much a part of the "old Bond." And I guess they felt, just like the opening circles, that the new Bond would have to earn the naked girls!
-
Oh and how would you characterize the individuals who were carrying on their idiot conversation on my discussion thread? I think my characterization was spot on.
-
Apology accepted.
-
Excuse me, I started this thread. And if people want to have inane conversations with each other that's their business. Just do it someplace else!
-
Excuse me, the title of this thread is "Parts of Bond Movies That Don't Make sense." So why are you a-holes cluttering it up with this inane conversation that has nothing to do with the topic?

Well personally I like the nude swimmers in Thunderball. And I also like the title sequence in Goldfinger (scenes of the movie along with scenes from DN and FRWL) and OHMSS (scenes from all five previous films). But you're right, the title sequence …

Well she could be a KGB agent working alongside Bond but that's been done already (The Spy Who Loved Me). Or she could be a Mossad agent but that was done in a Harry Palmer film (Funeral in Berlin) as well as in a Gardner novel (Icebreaker). Yeah, m…

Bond- "Can I get you anything in Holland?" Moneypenny- "How about a diamond? With a ring attached to it?" Bond- "Would you settle for a tulip?" Moneyenny (as Bond drives away)- "Yes." Plenty- "Hi, I'm Plenty." Bond- "But of course you are." …

I would echo MajorDSmythe's recommendation of HTTK. Also heartily recommend Amis' CN, one of the top five Bond novels in my opinion.

Just finished Gardner's NDMB. Thought the whole "characters not who you think they are" bit had been done in IB, but I guess Gardner felt if it worked once it would work again. And I've heard he does the same thing in DIF. So far I've read LR, FSS, …

No, Bond and Jill aren't in Goldfinger's room when they're in bed together, they're in Bond's room. You know this because Felix calls Bond to invite him to dinner. If Bond is in Goldfinger's room how does Felix call him? And after Bond discovers Jil…
