Few, that's a relief!

Carver is going to love me for this one....

I despise Tim Dalton's movies. I liked them when they first came out. They were Bond movies, I went and saw them, I was young, I didn't know any better, blah, blah, blah. There is no way on God's Green Earth Dalton was playing the same James Bond we all know and love. Carver is right, Dalton's Bond was a wimp. The fight with the guy in the truck is downright disgracegul. My father noticed that the first time he watched it with me on video in the late 80s. I just tried to ignore that, but he was right. I've already made known in other posts what I think of the fight with Necros. It has a nice John Barry score by the way. Dalton will always be known as the politically correct Bond. The Living Daylights is a film that tries to throw everything out that we all loved about Bond. It kinda reminds me of the first season or two of Star Trek The Next Generation when the crew was all high and mighty and tried too hard to be different. It's been said that Brosnan is a combo of Moore and Connery, and that is one reason people love him. He takes his own personality and talent and takes elements of 2 of his predecessors and makes the part work. Dalton....ugh, you know, I just don't have anything nice to say about his Bond.

Thats right, Dalton was'nt playing Roger's Bond, or Sean's Bond, or even George's Bond. Dalton was making the role "his" own, thats what each actor has does, and thats what each actor will continue to do. "The Living Daylights" is certantly preferable to most of Roger Moore's films, and its even better than a few of Connery's

[IrishCrown]

No, they're not.

[Bondpurist]

Yes they are, Irish clown

[Bondpurist]

Have you ever read a Fleming novel Irishclown? Well, if you did, you might realise how very, very good Dalton is. He was a brilliant actor, and was so very like Fleming's Bond it's scary. Dalton was not a wimp - he was human, and humans are not invincible. In the novels Bond is always getting beaten up - anyway, Dalton gave Necros a good thrashing, that punch on the net almost sent him off the net, and Necros was one hell of a guy. Dalton was 20 times better than any other Bond!!

[Mister Asterix]

All right BP. Let's not call names. IrishCrown doesn't like Dalton and doesn't agree with your opinion. But he has a right to his.You can make the same arguements as you did without getting personal.

[Bondpurist]

What was personal about that?

[Bondpurist]

oh

[IrishCrown]

Yes, I have read the novels. Every damned one of them. I can read just fine. If you have a problem with people who don't share the same opinion as you do, you have a lot of growing up to do. Please stop with your personal attacks on me. My name on this board is IrishCrown, not Irishclown. If you are that insecure with your knowledge and beliefs that you have to lash out the way you do, please leave me out of your line of fire. Thank you.

[Bondpurist]

I thought that was his name. 'irishcrown' and 'irishclown' are pretty similar - I thought it was a reference to the cown scenes in octopussy

Say what you want about another users' opinions, but please don't start throwing personal insult. And calling a man a clown is a personal insult. At least, I would consider it a personal insult were you to call me a clown.

I think we he means to type 'cown' he means clown. And yes, I am offended.

[Bondpurist]

I meant to type clown - what's 'cown' mean?

[IrishCrown]

You typed it, you tell me!

Bondpurist and myself...two people with too much time on our hands:(

[Bondpurist]

christ, it was just a typo. Can't we just forget about it?

[IrishCrown]

"So, what did you do today?"
"Oh, I got into a shouting match with some fella who really liked Timothy Dalton as Bond."
"Timothy who?"

If you want to argue and mince words about world peace, ok. But Dalton as Bond? I'd rather take out the garbage.

[Mister Asterix]

Okay, well. I hope we can put this all behind us then. Shake idle hands, and come out agreeing to disagree.

[Bondpurist]

Alright Mr asterix, I misread his name and thought it was a reference to the clown scenes in Octopussy, OK?

[IrishCrown]

No, you didn't. But that's okay. Life's too short. I'm done typing back and forth with you if you are.

[Bondpurist]

Yes I did. But I can see why you'd dispute that. Life's too short, etc. etc.

[IrishCrown]

"Yes, this is my second life now."
"You only live twice, Mr. Bond."

[Bondpurist]

I'll let you off for being horrible to Tim - you're obviously Bond crazy.

[IrishCrown]

Are you and Tim related? Moreover, are YOU Tim Dalton?

[Bondpurist]

Secret agents remain secret. Anyway, Tim would never argue like this. He has better things to do, like film more great films and act in more great plays.

[IrishCrown]

By the way, when will the sequel to The Beautician and the Beast come out?

[Bondpurist]

Why should I know?

[Mister Asterix]

Alright, that's enough, gentlemen.

[RayBros007]

That was pretty funny... but you guys do need to stop this... You two are like "Boys with toys!!!" Sorry I couldn't resist!
