One time Bond directors who you would like to see get a second shot at it: Roger Spottiswoode OR Marc Forster?

[thecasinoroyale]

Marc Forster. Less frantic editing and a better story and he could do very well!

I like 'em both and don't find either over-rated though Nick Nick is the more underrated of the two IMHO, so Jaws would probably be my answer by default.

Bond director switch-around: Guy Hamilton for You Only Live Twice, The Spy Who Love Me, Moonraker OR Lewis Gilbert for Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever and The Man With The Golden Gun?

[thecasinoroyale]

Lewis Gilbert for 'Goldfinger', 'Diamonds Are Forever' and 'The Man With The Golden Gun'.


Best use of the James Bond theme:


When Bond jumps out of the window in Bilbao with the money, tied to the goon as counter-weight in 'The World Is Not Enough'

OR

When Bond gives chase to MayDay in Paris in the little blue taxi in 'A View To A Kill'

??

[Mr. Blofeld]

Hmmmm... can I say neither? :-P

...no?


Very well: TWINE.


Now, for my own director switch-around:

Peter Hunt to direct any film between 1969 and 1989

or

Martin Campbell to direct any film between 1995 and 2006

?

[thecasinoroyale]

(Sorry about those choices Mr.Blofeld...have to make it tricky!)

Peter Hunt to direct any film between 1969 and 1989

Bond composer switch around: David Arnold to score Live And Let Die and George Martin to score Tomorrow Never Dies OR John Barry to score For Your Eyes Only and Bill Conti to score Octopussy?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Bond composer switch around: David Arnold to score Live And Let Die and George Martin to score Tomorrow Never Dies, only because I don't want to lose any of the John Barry scores we have now.

or

Diamonds Are Forever/ The Living Daylights?

[thecasinoroyale]

Oh god PKK...why!! Alright...to get to the goodness, I go for 'Diamonds Are Forever'/'The Living Daylights'


Wasted opportunity for a decent Bond film:


'The Man With The Golden Gun'

OR

'Diamonds Are Forever'

??

[Vauxhall]

DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER. The dish of revenge should have been better served.

Best 'farewell' Bond movie: Roger Moore in A VIEW TO A KILL or Pierce Brosnan in DIE ANOTHER DAY?

[Eric Stromberg]

Good lord. Okay...I'll take Brosnan's DAD. At least the first 40 minutes are pretty good for me.

Bond's next torture scene:

Waterboarded under a Turkish waterfall

or

Dangled off of London Bridge with M held at gunpoint?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Dangled off of London Bridge with M held at gunpoint. That sounds pretty good. Like something from a Hitchcock film.

Oh god PKK...why!!

Because they're all 4 highly entertaining films from the classic 1962-1987 era.

The Living Daylights title song by a-ha:

OR

"Gumbold's Safe" from OHMSS:

Hmm... 'Thunderball' and 'The Living Daylights'

Excellent choice. My top 2 Bond films.

Thunderball/The Spy Who Loved Me

or

You Only Live Twice/Moonraker?

[Mr. Blofeld]

Thunderball/The Spy Who Loved Me



Casino Royale with Sean Connery

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service/Casino Royale

From Russia With Love/ The Living Daylights?

[thecasinoroyale]

Agh...I have to omit 'OHMSS' and sacrifice 'CR' and so go for two corkers - 'From Russia With Love' and 'The Living Daylights'


Which Bond girl should of had more screen time:

Caroline Munro (Naomi) in 'The Spy Who Loved Me'

OR

Alison Doody (Jenny Flex) in 'A View To A Kill'

??

[Vauxhall]

Caroline Munro. I try to remove most of A VIEW TO A KILL from my memory, despite the obvious selling point of Alison Doody with a riding crop...

Better Bond title: GOLDENEYE or SKYFALL?

[thecasinoroyale]

Haha! Sorry to hear you're anit-'AVTAK' Vauxhall!

I go for 'Skyfall' as the better title. Makes me thing of many things for a Bond film - danger, mystery, threat, a countdown, space...who knows!


It's announced tomorrow that the artist chosen to perform 'Skyfall' for the main theme is...

Sir Cliff Richard

OR

Robbie Williams

??

(Please make the right choice...!)

[Vauxhall]

Um, despite the fact that the announcement of Sir Cliff would increase my mother's interest in SKYFALL, I'll stick with Robbie Williams!

The producers manage to keep a top Hollywood cameo for the new movie under cover until the premiere, where it's revealed that Javier Bardem's main henchman is: Jack Black or Russell Brand?

[thecasinoroyale]

Haha! Oh dear..not Robbie..oh well!

And I go for Jack Black...I just could not take Brand in a Bond film...Black is just as bad but he could pass off as someone credible at least!


The first official 'Skyfall' merchandise on release is...

A model of M's Jaguar car with flashing blue grille lights, as featured in the thrilling action sequence in London city! Now YOU can help save the world in style!

OR

A replica toy of James Bond's Secret Service ear-piece, as featured in the exciting London attack! Now YOU can contact MI6, just like 007!

??

[Eric Stromberg]

A model of M's Jaguar car with flashing blue grille lights, as featured in the thrilling action sequence in London city! Now YOU can help save the world in style! -- I could have hours of fun driving this around the sandbox!

Speaking of driving...

Paris Carver over the hotel couch

or

Christmas Jones in the back of a Fiat 500

Well which one are you going to pick? Do you feel lucky, punk?
