  • And Dalton is so a ladies man. Maybe less so than the other 5 actors but his Bond wasn't the "playboy" type anyway. Dalton was business before pleasure. So is Craig. Dalton shot a film here in Toronto and a couple of women who met him raved about …
  • Great post @shadowonthesun. :-D Agreed completely. Great post, shadow. A friend of mine is a screenwriter and it's amazing the meddling you get from the studio sometimes. For one film he worked on they showed him a "chart" of script elements and…
  • The character should not keep restraining himself to every PC stuff the world keeps inventing. What next ? No car chases because it incites people to drive dangerously ? If we continue listening every PC rubbish, there is no limit to what we and Bon…
  • Unfortunately there will always be people who take advantage of a situation and riot. The thing is, often times the people doing the rioting claim to be aligned to some group or cause which they are not - they just hope that it will give legitimacy …
  • As much as I really don't like Moore's version of Bond it's interesting to think of him starting earlier. I agree that a younger, more youthful Moore would have been cool and I'm sure Terence Young would have started him off in a fairly serious perf…
  • A better ending would've been Bond not too certain about his ability to return to MI6 to be resolved in a 3rd Dalton Bond film that (sadly) never was. I had read that the scene in GE with Bond and the anaylst in the DB5 was meant as a reference …
  • Furthermore, Brosnan brought a few nice things to the role. The way he walks for example. Some folks hate that, but I don't. The voice... meh. It's unlike Connery's or Craig's, I know, but I fail to have serious issues with it. The line delivery... …
  • Goldeneye. get rid of the cliff dive stunt. Make the model work slightly less obvious - esp towards the end and have one scene with Natalya in a revealing dress ;) Agreed on the "plane chasing" stunt - although I would have liked to see Bond clin…
  • 006 vs 007 is one of the great fights of the series. One of Campbells (many) strengths is that a fight isn't just a fight - as people said above the GE fight was personal and bitter (and the Madagascar chase in CR showed Bond's tenacity, resourceful…
  • And interesting to note that Connery was 31 when he shot DN and Lazenby was 29 when he made OHMSS. Hell, Brosnan was 33 (?) when they wanted him for TLD. Having said that I find it interesting that friends of mine always picture Bond as a guy in hi…
  • CR has my favourite opening credits of any Bond film. So good that I didn't even notice there were no girls until after the credits were over! DC007 - who is the blonde in the picture? I feel like I'm supposed to know who she is...
  • Let's make Thelma and Louise with men Lets make mississippi burning with a all white cast Let's make king kong with a lion See where I'm going for this Like the Bond/Shaft comparison the above comparisons are false. Thelma and Louise's genders …
  • I'd give it to LTK. It has some flaws but has a interesting look at Bond avenging a friend in a way that is more important that the "sacrificial lamb" subplots of other movies. Davi is an excellent villian, Bond infiltrating Sanchez's organization i…
  • I don't think that Brosnan was bad. The problem was that he wasn't *great*. As we are huge Bond fans we expect a lot from the films, the series, and especially the actors. While I don't rate Roger Moore's portrayal of Bond at all I certainly accept…
  • Wow...at first I thought it would be a tribute to the Bob Simmons gunbarrel. Interesting idea, but...wow. The execution just killed it. Maybe if they had done a "smaller" version of the jump or the lean...
  • To answer the question originally posted, no, I don't think that it's inevitable. If the Bond films go on long enough and, say, a hundred different actors play him then it's certainly more likely - but not inevitable. Having said that I have no pro…
  • Love the shirt! I frequent many Bond clothing sites to see what I can't afford, haha. Lately, I've wanted the navy polo Bond wears when he meets up with M in CR, the scene where he is implanted with the tracking bug. Love that polo. Also been lookin…
  • Creasy - yep, the vitriol before seeing any footage was incredible. All of those false stories didn't help either. Of course, people believe things that are sensational (Craig couldn't drive stick shift, he wanted a gay scene in a Bond film) even af…
  • I think the problem with QoS was that they gave the director a little bit *too* much leeway...it would have been better if the producers kept a tighter reign on the production. 23rd film now, they must certainly know what they're doing...
  • Sam, if you have any doubts at all, no one will be upset if you step aside and let Martin Campbell take over...
  • I can't offer a statistically relevant sample but of the women I know they all find Craig very attractive and love him as Bond. Of course, they also love him as Daniel Craig. The thing with Craig is he has great presence and a great personality. Wh…
  • I think it's always a good thing when a gadget can be used a few times. One of the worst uses of gadgets is when they introduce something with an incredibly specific function which just so happens to be exactly what Bond needs during the climax.
  • One thing that I'd like to see again is a nice drawn out suspense scene like the safe-cracking scene in OHMSS. Just re-watched Munich and the scene where they build the tension up prior to detonating the phone bomb was extremely well done. Would lov…
  • I heard good things about Flashbacks of a Fool - I keep forgetting about it (and Defiance). I was pleasantly surprised by Golden Compass - my girlfriend rented it one night and I thought they would have gutted the story. It was a lot more faithful t…
  • Hmm it's ok but its far from one of the best Bond themes. Here is one that's far better - if only they had used it in the final film :( I agree that this sounds like a pastiche of a Bond tune...I have a hard time believing that this was a "…
  • Fantastic, memorable character. Not sure how it played in '63 with only one other Bond film out before but in the whole of the series she's one of the best villians/henchwomen. Nice and different compared to most of the other Bond films. Think of h…
  • HER! ESPECIALLY if they are going to film part of Bond 23 in China; she is part Chinese!! I SURRENDER! http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/pw69ori0hvsa8zx83rqhggcyv6cb2275/ j7wild, who is that? I don't think that I've seen her before.
  • I have a feeling that good looking ladies are all too easily considered valid candidates for a Bond girl part. I myself prefer beauties who don't necessarily get peeled off of a photoshopped magazine cover. In other words, I prefer the likes of Rosa…
  • LTK, although Bond and Leiter seemed more like they were friendly to each other instead of being good friends - I'm looking forward to seeing if they can develop a realisticly close friendship between Craig's Bond and Wright's Leiter.
  • After the action scenes of QOS I'm sure they wont hire Bradley again. To be fair the 2nd UD follows the lead of the director and then the editor cuts the footage together in the style that he/she and the director have worked out. Bradley was also …
