Aaron Johnson. I can't picture the latter in the role. 

 

 

Would you rather have Bond using a bazooka in Bond 24 OR a harpoon gun?

[AMC Hornet]

(Will a bazooka work underwater?)

[The Dove]

(Who says Bond has to be underwater to be using either weapon?..Harpoon guns work just as well on land..i.e. LTK and TB)

 

I'd like to see Craig go with the harpoon gun in another "Compliments of Sharkey" type of moment..

 

Costume designer for Bond 24...would you like Lindy Hemming to return OR continue with Jany Temime from Skyfall?

[AMC Hornet]

(Who says Bond has to be underwater to be using either weapon?..Harpoon guns work just as well on land..i.e. LTK and TB)

(Look up 'facetious' in the dictionary - you'll find a picture of me...)

[The Dove]

Sorry AMC...Guess that just went right over my head...LOL

[S K Y F A L L]

(Will a bazooka work underwater?)

How about a torpedo launcher from Q branch?

Costume designer for Bond 24...would you like Lindy Hemming to return OR continue with Jany Temime from Skyfall?

I liked the wardrobes from Lindy Hemming but might as well keep Jany Teminie.

 

 

A 3rd Dalton film in 1992

 

OR

 

a 5th Brosnan film in 2004 and a 3rd Craig film in 2010

 

00?

[seawolfnyy]

I think we've had this one before. Alas....I'll say the 3rd Dalton film in '92 as '04 saw Brosnan in Everything or Nothing and '10 gave us Craig in both Blood Stone and Goldeneye 2010.

 

 

Thumbscrews

OR

Hot Coals

?

[The Dove]

Hmm....Hot Coals I guess ?? LOL..

 

More gruesome way a Bond baddie has died... Milton Krest, having his head explode in the decompression chamber in LTK OR Mr. Kidd being turned into a human barbecue in Diamonds Are Forever?

[seawolfnyy]

Definitely Milton Krest.

 

 

Lamest Bond baddie death.

 

Kananga's "inflated opinion of himself"

OR

Mr. Kidd "leaving with his tail between his legs"

?

[The Dove]

Have to go with Kananga's over-inflated opinion of himself in LALD..

 

More tragic Bond girl death... Vesper Lynd deliberately drowning herself in Casino Royale OR Paula, taking cyanide to avoid interrogation in Thunderball ??

[seawolfnyy]

Vesper drowning herself. We all knew it was coming and yet it's still painful to watch. To this day, I still don't care about Paula's schoolyard crush on Bond.

 

 

Now the flipside:

Most badass Bond baddie death:

Sanchez burning up after the tanker crash

OR

Silva's death march after being stabbed in the back by Bond

?

[The Dove]

Silva's death march (just watched it last night as a matter of fact)...Love his look of annoyance on his face when he realizes Bond survived his deep water experience and has beaten him..

 

 

Gunbarrel transitions shots..which did you like better... FRWL, the gunbarrel fades out to the night scene of Grant stalking "James Bond" OR YOLT, the gunbarrel opening on the Jupiter 16 spacecraft above the Earth?

[Walecs]

I liked FRWL's more, and I loved the whole PTS as well.

 

Bond 24: would you rather have a Judi Dench's portrait in MI6 offices

 

OR

 

Bond's radio/walther PPK in Q's office?

[seawolfnyy]

Judi Dench's portrait, the gun and radio from Skyfall were some of Bond's least memorable gadgets. Having said that, I wouldn't mind seeing a tube of dentonite toothpaste in Bond's cupboard lol.

 

 

Better PTS to MTS transition:

Live and Let Die, Baines' death set to the opening chords of "Live and Let Die"

OR

Skyfall, Bond being swept down the river to his 'supposed death' set to the opening of "Skyfall"

?

[S K Y F A L L]

Tough one but I have to go with LALD.

 

Lazenby OR Dalton?

[The Dove]

Dalton..

 

The end credits...do you prefer....the Bond theme to play and then transition into a mix of some of the film's score selections like Skyfall OR have a secondary theme song ( GE, TND, TLD, LTK, ) to play throughout the entire credits sequence?

[seawolfnyy]

Now this is a tough one. The Bond theme worked great for CR/SF, but not so much for TWINE/QoS. I think I have to go with the secondary themes for the end credits. Surrender and If You Asked Me To were just too good.

 

 

 

Better one-off ally:

Milos Colombo

OR

Kerim Bey

?

[S K Y F A L L]

Kerim Bey is miles in front of most Bond's allies IMO.

 

 

Felix Leiter Cast-off #1;

 

Jack Lord - DN

OR

Cec Linder - GF

 

00?

[Double-Oh Agent]

I know I'm in the minority here but I do like Cec Linder as Felix even if he's much older than the literary version so my cast-off vote goes to:

 

Jack Lord

 

 

 

Ernst Stavro Blofeld in From Russia With Love

 

or

 

Ernst Stavro Blofeld in Thunderball?

[S K Y F A L L]

Tough one. Both great and very brief, I think FRWL he might have more air time. I like the dialog better I think in FRWL too, so FRWL.

 

 

Felix Leiter Cast-off #2;

 

Jack Lord - DN

OR

Rik Van Nutter - TB

 

00?

[The Dove]

Oohh tough choice...but I would probably cast off Jack Lord...I'll always think of him first and foremost as Steve McGarrett...I would have loved for Rik Van Nutter's Felix to have had another shot at the character in Diamonds Are Forever.

 

 

Bond title-singers Cast off....Madonna (Die Another Day) OR Jack White and Alicia Keys (Quantum of Solace) ??

[AMC Hornet]

By all means ditch the White Keyes.

 

What was that? Four intros, some disjointed imagery, "shoot 'em up, bang bang, whoa-o-way-o!"

 

Shirley Bassey`s 'No Good in Goodbye`was orders of magnitude better, and even fits fine with MK12`s titles (see YouTube).

[S K Y F A L L]

Listening to Shirley Bassey's 'No Good in Goodbye' now, I also prefer it to over Keys and White.

 

 

 

Felix Leiter Cast-off #3;

 

Jack Lord - DN

OR

Norman Burton - DAF

 

00?

 

 

Whose out and still to come;

 

Cec Linder - GF

Rik Van Nutter - TB

Norman Burton - LALD & LTK

John Terry - TLD

Jeffrey Wright - CR & QOS

[Double-Oh Agent]

Cast off Norman Burton

 

Emilio Largo

 

or

 

Maximillian Largo?

[AMC Hornet]

I was thinking of posing that one!

Emilio, definitely. Connery may have been older in NSNA, but that's no reason to make the chief villain a big wimp - however menacing he could sound.

 

Best stolen chase vehicle (or best use thereof):

 

Moon buggy in DAF

Glastron boat in LALD

My namesake in TMWTGG

or

Alpha Romeo in OP

?

[S K Y F A L L]

I love that Moon buggy but would have  to go with the Glastron boat, if memory serves my correct then he got a good use out of it in LALD.

 

 

 

Felix Leiter Cast-off #4;

 

Jack Lord - DN

OR

John Terry - TLD

 

00?

 

 

Whose out and still to come;

 

Cec Linder - GF

Rik Van Nutter - TB

Norman Burton - LALD & LTK

Jeffrey Wright - CR & QOS

[AMC Hornet]

John who?

 

Seriously, his role was so underwritten and underplayed it's easy to forget that Felix was even in TLD.

 

Kissy

or

Aki?

[The Dove]

I prefer Aki myself...

David Bauer..as the U.S. Government Rep in YOLT OR as Morton Slumber in DAF??

[S K Y F A L L]

David Bauer as tye U.S. Rep in YOLT. I liked his voice.

 

 

Felix Leiter Cast-off #5 Finale Round;

 

Jack Lord - DN

OR

Jeffrey Wright - CR & QOS

 

00?

[Double-Oh Agent]

Kind of a tough call. Jeffrey Wright's Felix is better in Casino Royale than Jack Lord in Dr. No, but he's also underused and not very interesting in Quantum Of Solace falling behind Lord there. However, overall I suppose I give the edge to Wright so my castoff vote goes to:

 

Jack Lord

 

 

Brad Whitaker

 

or

 

Jack Wade?
