No, we have Vesper's betrayal and sacrifice to motivate 007 for some time now. If he were to even propose to a woman, we all know how it would turn out.

 

Bond 25: More manifestos from a location's government, now that EON has opened the door to that kind of 'product placement' in Mexico?

Yes, (it happened with China in Skyfall too).


Where will these 'manifestos' occur from for Bond 25:

Thailand
OR
Kenya
?

Oh, Kenya sounds like a cool idea!

 

 

More likely to do a Bond theme:

 

Hayley Williams (with or without Paramore)

 

OR

 

John Legend ?

Better car chase:-

 

TSWLM 

 

or

 

AVTAK - Paris

 

??

Spy Spy Spy!

 

The main problem with the Paris chase was how it was over-publicized in the trailer. By the time we saw it on the screen, it was already old news.

 

Plus, it didn't feature a Lotus, motorcycle with exploding sidecar, armed helicopter, scuba divers with harpoon-equipped tow sleds...

 

Better chase cont'd:

 

DAF Las Vegas

or

TMWTGG Bangkok

?

I prefer Golden Gun.

 

Which change would you make to Die Another Day:-

 

Remove the Gustav Graves character and make the bad guy Colonel Moon

 

or

 

Remove Jinx

Remove Gustav - he is just too much of a textbook villain to be taken seriously or interestingly.

 

Will we ever see 007 venture into space or touch the atmosphere again?

 

YES - One day, outer space will belong to 007 again in the right context

 

OR

 

NO - He did it once, that was enough. This is not sci-fi

The Living Daylights. That sequence was the first time I saw Dalton truly as 007.

 

 

American location you'd rather see Bond visit in the future:

 

San Diego

 

OR

 

Chicago ?

Chicago could be nice to see in the Bond universe.

 

 

Will we see 007 take a cover name during 'Spectre'?

 

YES - Another R Sterling job, or even Jerzey Bondov if lucky...he'll certainly go undercover

 

OR

 

NO - Not this time, he'll stay on the outside and use his training to find the secrets within

Goldfinger.


With Avengers: Age of Ultron set to release in just a few weeks, which 2015 blockbuster will have the highest box office gross:
Avengers: Age of Ultron
OR
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
OR
SPECTRE
?

No dinner in DAF, just drinks - but that's just me being pedantic.

 

GF, I suppose, as it's the original scene on which the latter was based (like the '51 Solara).

 

Better infiltration scene:

 

Climbing down into the volcano base

or

Climbing up into the Whyte House

?

I'd say climbing up into the Whyte House; pretty impressive, and doesn't cause as much of a stir as the volcano base.

 

 

Most useless undercover identity used by 007:

 

Colonel Luis Toro in 'Octopussy'

 

OR

 

Van Bierk in 'Die Another Day'

Luis Toro. Van Bierk would've worked if MI6 had properly done their jobs. I mean Moon didn't have a mole....


Which of SPECTRE's cast is more likely to return for Bond 25:

Christoph Waltz
OR
Jesper Christiansen
?

or

the Monsoon Palace

?

Always loved the Monsoon Palace infiltration - such nonsense but great fun.

 

 

Most useless undercover identity used by 007 #2:

 

Mr. Fisher in 'You Only Live Twice' - rumbled within minutes

 

OR

 

Arlington Beech in 'Casino Royale' - given up in seconds

Lucia. Mr Hinx they'll probably save for a Wint & Kidd/Tee Hee/Stamper moment.

Drax's study

or

Gupta's lab

I love Gupta's lab.

 

Better shot:-

 

Bond's arrival by boat to the casino in Thunderball

 

or

 

Bond's arrival by boat to the casino in Skyfall

Yes...especially if Christoph Waltz does indeed turn out to be ESB and lives to "die another day" (sorry.. :P ) in Bond 25..

 

SPECTRE opening night... Will you be lining up hours before to go and catch the film on opening night?

YES, I'll be there in all my Bond-fan glory, trying to beat all the peasants, aka the casual Bond fans to seeing it

 

OR

 

NO, I'll probably wait a day or two later to try and avoid any potential face-palm-worthy comments from the general public and go and see the film at a potentially less crowded time?

 

(For me, I'm seriously considering taking Nov. 6th off if I can and try and catch an early screening while everyone else is in school or at work.. :D )

Have you ever "dressed up" for a Bond film?

YES - tux/suit/cosplay as a favorite character

OR

NO - Man, CBB, you're one weird dude!

Mr Kil. Far too obvious. It would have been better to call him Mr Killer and make it his nickname.

 

Which scenario would you prefer:-

 

Bond 25 is a comedy - played purely for laughs and includes Daniel Craig in drag, a double-taking monkey and the villain is an evil doctor called Dr Scatterbrain

 

or

 

Bond 25 is a slasher horror - with a body count of 200 and Bond dresses as a vampire all the way through. M is dressed as a ghost.

Gotta go with the semi-serious horror Bond!

 

 

Will 'Spectre' see Bond:

 

Operating as a lone wolf AGAIN, going behind the back of allies to get the job done

 

OR

 

Having full support of MI6 in trusting and backing him to do the job

 

??
