Denise Richards any day thank you!

 

 

Most over-rated Bond girl...

 

Honey Ryder in 'Dr.No'

 

OR

 

Vesper Lynd in 'Casino Royale'

Honey Ryder. She set the template, but wasn't overall very important. Vesper, however, was....

 

(Also, I think I can finally forgive you Dove ;))

 

 

Which team sport should make an appearance in a future Bond film:

Baseball

OR

Cricket

?

( Oh good, you fell for my little April Fools, seawolfnyy!! That offending Yankees pic will soon be disappearing from my profile pic forever, if it hasn't already yet..* insert a Scaramanga evil laugh* )

Why not have a Bond sequence take place at Fenway park? The possibilities are endless..

Best Bond girl (either good or bad) who was killed off too quickly...Severine in Skyfall OR Naomi in The Spy Who Loved Me??

(Doesn't count. I didn't see it until April 2. That or you're still dead to me *in Craig's 'The job's done, the bitch is dead' voice*)

 

 

 

Naomi. Always wanted to see more of the lovely lines.

 

 

 

Most useless Bond girl who wasn't killed off:

Christmas Jones

OR

Mary Goodnight

?

(Well, I guess I'll just go on "enjoying death" then! :P )

 

Now to answer your question... Id' say Christmas Jones by far...totally unconvincing as a nuclear physicist and I'm not the biggest Denise Richards fan anyways..

 

Maurice Binder title sequences...A View To A Kill OR The Spy Who Loved Me?

AVTAK, love that technicolor or whatever you would call it 80's style. 

 

 

 

Brosnan Era Bond girl names #1;

 

Xenia Onatopp - GE

 

OR

 

Dr. Molly Warmflash - TWINE

Have to go with Xenia, as Dr. Molly's full name was never mentioned in the film.

 

(As for AVTAK, that motif was made up of Dayglo and UV black light.)

 

As long as we're picking on useless Bond girls who didn't get killed off, and since Mary Goodnight survived the first round, let's try:

 

Mary Goodnight

or

Stacey Sutton

?

I'll have to go for Mary Goodnight - the most annoying and pointless woman in the Moore era of Bond films. Utter tosh.

 

 

 

Most under-used Bond girl in the Dalton era:

 

Mrs.Pushkin in 'The Living Daylights'

 

OR

 

Della Leiter in 'Licence To Kill'

Della. She was such an important character and we barely met her.

 

 

 

I'm sorry I have to do it. I'm still angry about it and I just want to know someone else's opinion:

Was the final scene of How I Met Your Mother:

a brilliant twist

OR

a betrayal

?

I suppose for me it was closer to betrayal then it was a brilliant twist. I just felt it was to much to take in all at once, I don't know.... stranger then brilliant IMO. Almost like they ripped off EASTBOUND & DOWN's last episode in a way...

 

 

Which Bond 24 rumor would you rather be true;

 

Chiwetel Ejiofor

 

OR

 

Penelope Cruz

I'd rather the rumor about Chiwetel be true...I think he'd be a very interesting Bond villain..

I'd expect it will be....the locations. Usually is the first thing to come out when people snap crew and cast around.

 

 

Will 'Bond 24' become one of THE top box-office draws in the big 2015 year of film coming up?

 

YES - 'Skyfall' hit the $1bn mark, and proves Bond has a dominating global appeal, and so will trounce many big films next year

 

OR

 

NO - 'Skyfall' was a one-off thanks to the 50th Anniversary; lots of franchises will excite audiences more, and Bond will suffer a little

YES..I boldly predict that both Bond 24 and Star Wars: Episode VII will be the top box office draws of 2015...

 

Which NON-Maurice Binder or Daniel Kleinman title designers did you prefer more... Robert Brownjohn (FRWL and GF) OR MK12 (QOS)??

Don't forget about Avengers: Age of Ultron....

 

Robert Brownjohn. The FRWL and GF main titles are classics and totally 60s.

 

Blockbuster swaps:

Bond for Captain America in The Winter Soldier with SHIELD replaced with MI6, Nick Fury by M and Silva as The Winter Soldier

OR

Cap in Skyfall with MI6 replaced by SHIELD, M with Nick Fury and The Winter Soldier in place of Silva?

Bond for Captain America sounds like it could be fun.

Bond chasing a henchmen

 

OR 

 

The Villains plans are set in motion

I'd like to see the villain's plan getting set in motion for the pre-titles.

 

Daniel Craig...now that he's dropped out of The Whole Truth, do you imagine that he's got another film in the works OR No, he's already starting prepping for Bond 24 filming?

No, not more then a rumor

YES - I think we will get some Bond news this summer, to feed our excitement as the current summer films come and go.

 

 

Will Daniel Craig bow out after 'Bond 25'?

 

YES - Contracts are contracts and he will not out stay his welcome and jeopardise the run of the films

 

OR

 

NO - Connery and Moore did it, and with the right script and personal motive, Craig may return for another Bond if it is right

I'll say NO...if John Logan, or whoever is hired to write the script for Bond 26 comes up with a stellar idea, and provided they can make the film within 2 years of Bond 25, I think Craig will do it.

 

 

Craig withdrawing suddenly from The Whole Truth (similiar to how he walked out of doing The Monuments Men)...does it make him look bad? YES or NO?

NO - There must be some logical reason for it, and sometimes these things happen. At least he pulled out before production commenced.

 

 

 

Do you think we will see incarnations of the older James Bond films re-invented for future adventures?

 

YES - Ideas will run out soon, and new twists on old tales will bravely be introduced for new audiences and fresh takes

 

OR

 

NO - The stories gone by are canon and won't be brought back to "reboot" or "re-visit", there will be nothing but new adventures

No. I don't see them reusing anything from the previous films besides maybe Specter, Quantum or Blofeld. 

 

 

Do you think Bond 25 will be out;

 

2 years after Bond 24, so 2017

 

OR 

 

3 years after Bond 24, so 2018

The way they go...I think 3 years. 2 would be perfect, but 3 seems to be nice and normal.

 

 

Who will decide the end of the James Bond films (horrible thought)

 

EON - Financial or staff change will be the move to end Bond finally

 

OR

 

AUDIENCE - We will decide the fate of Bond when competing at the box-office with other, bigger films

I would hope that EON would be the ones to decide when to end the series...and hopefully hold on to the rights with an iron grip so that nobody else could try and relaunch the series and screw it up.

 

John Logan..now that he's done Skyfall and is doing Bond 24, do you think EON will keep him on as a series regular for more films afterwards ala Purvis and Wade? YES or NO?

YES - I would like to think they would keep him on, or at least until Craig's run is over. BUT I hope they use him after Craig to continue the thread of the character himself, rather than mould 007 to fit each actor. It should be moulding the actor to the current interpretation of 007.

 

 

 

Which actor do you think enjoyed playing 007 more in their screen run?

 

 

Timothy Dalton

 

OR

 

Pierce Brosnan

I'd say Brosnan probably enjoyed the role more, despite his recent criticism of his portryal..

 

 

Bond #7 potential candidates... Tom Hardy OR Benedict Cumberbatch?

I think I'd rather have Tom Hardy but wouldn't be excited about either. 

 

 

 

Will Mendes return to direct Bond 25;

 

Yes, as long as Bond 24 is a success 

 

OR
 

No,  perhaps him putting Bond 24 and Bond 25 together shows he is not committed to Bond 25

I wouldn't say no, I'd think if 'Bond 24' maintained a strong success for James Bond and there was room to continue, why wouldn't he return as directors did in the golden era of the films.

 

Do you remember back in 2005 when Daniel Craig was announced as 007? How did you feel honestly....

 

EXCITED - New actor, new Bond, new legacy!!

 

OR

 

ANNOYED - Blonde Bond? Bring back Brosnan....!

EXCITED..New actor and new era.. Not that I wasn't sad about Brosnan's tenure ending, especially with how it ended rather sourly, but its always great to get a fresh start on things whenever things get a bit too stagnant.

 

 

2015 is yet again another year which features a new Star Wars AND a new James Bond.. 1977 we had Star Wars (A New Hope) and The Spy Who Loved Me (Great!!), 1983 we had Return of The Jedi and Octopussy (and Never Say Never Again, if you want to count it),1999 we had The Phantom Menace (blech!!) and The World Is Not Enough (meh), 2002 had Attack of The Clones and Die Another Day (ugh to both!).. So do you think next year will be different in which we get both a superb James Bond and Star Wars film? YES or NO?

YES - Of course. We've had a few ups and downs with both, but we have solid crew and superb cast already established for both and so we will be getting a fantastic pair of films!

 

 

Will we have a big fuss about product placement again for 'Bond 24'?

 

YES - The Media love to exploit and inflate the 007 product placement issue with fans, and that will just be as much for the next film

 

OR

 

NO - It fell flat after the big fuss during 'Skyfall' and so it will pass by with no big debate and argument over it

NO (at least I hope not)... I was really irritated by all the fuss in Skyfall that everyone was panicking that Bond was going to forever give up his traditional martini for a Heineken..and what did we eventually get? Just a quick shot of Bond drinking a beer out of a green bottle (you couldn't even see the label) while in bed with that hot Turkish babe and maybe a quick shot of some Heineken in the fridge behind the bar at the hotel in Shanghai.

 

 

Do you expect we'll get some sort of trailer for Star Wars: Episode VII attached to Bond 24 when it is released in theaters in Oct/Nov next year? YES or NO?
