Connery...although I loved Brosnan's casino scene in Goldeneye but was disappointed with The World Is Not Enough one...

 

 

Is the mixed reaction to Sam Smith's title song dampening your enthusiasm for SPECTRE at all?? YES or NO?? ( It's no for me! :) )

NO - If anything just making me MORE ready, and eager to hear it with the titles and see how it looks on-screen!

 

 

Currently, what 'SPECTRE' quote is the best:

 

"If you go there, you're crossing over to a place without mercy."

 

OR

 

"It was me, James. The author of all your pain."

'Skyfall' - didn't feel as rushed.


Better theme tune for a new debut:

'GoldenEye' - classic style, but with a modern twist for a new era

OR

'You Know My Name' - blistering and bombastic for a powerful return

Hm....'Thunderball' retains the style and sequence in the film I like most.

 

 

Which Roger Moore era character would you like "rebooted" for the 'Bond 25':

 

Sherriff JW Pepper - He's tough,  out to uphold the law, and drives a Dodge Charger who helps Bond tail a suspect

 

OR

 

Nick Nack - Diminutive and deadly, he's a killer who is never placed at the crime and his next target it 007

'The Living Daylights' no question
 
 
Will SPECTRE return for 'Bond 25'?
 
YES - This is just the beginning! More villains and plots to come!
 
OR
 
NO - Maybe a little, but the main operation will be shut down this time

Cor...Pam and Lupe are temping, but with Vesper and Solange and the blond thrown in? Has to be 'CR'!


How, if at all, will Judi Dench's M feature in 'SPECTRE' -

In a touching nod of remembrance

OR

In a haunting mockery of the past

Drax Industries.If Drax could afford his own version of NASA and city in space out of his own pocket, he had to have had the most resources of any Bond villain.

 

Better Brosnan era Bond villain/Bond girl mixup:

Alec Trevelyan 006 meets Mrs. Paris McKenna Carver

 

or

 

Sir Gustav Graves meets Natalya Feodorovna Simonova?

Will 'SPECTRE' change the way you watch the previous 3 Craig films?

YES - This will suddenly make one long 10hr + journey with one outcome and one long story

OR

NO - Each has it's own thread and I will take each one being it's own story and resolution

I do love 'Moonraker' except the final fall from Jaws, but everything else is so well executed or orchestrated for pure 007 fun!

I think SPECTRE is better showcased in Thunderball.. the meeting with the electrocution of No.9 is pure evil genius! :D

 

Which non-SPECTRE baddie do you think would have made a good SPECTRE agent... Elliot Carver OR Francisco Scaramanga?
