Simon Cowell cameo-ing in 'Skyfall'...that would be hillarious... The Stevie Wonder scenario would have been better suited for the Roger Moore era, I think..

Bond has an out-of-the-blue run in with those snobby German fellows, whose car he "parked" in Casino Royale in Skyfall OR Bond running into the San Francisco police chief from A View To A Kill, who is visiting London for a holiday with his wife, ala J.W. Pepper in TMWTGG??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Bond has an out-of-the-blue run in with those snobby German fellows, whose car he "parked" in Casino Royale in Skyfall. It allows the Craig era to have its own recurring characters.

Better movie poster artwork:

The Living Daylights-

http://movieposterco...d_internat).jpg

or

Moonraker

http://douglaseriggs...ter_swe1979.gif ?

[thecasinoroyale]

'The Living Daylights' - has a very smart edge to it and a great 007-theme to introduce the action and star that is Mr. Dalton.


Best pre-title sequence:

'Die Another Day' - Hovercraft mayhem!

OR

'Tomorrow Never Dies' - Plane mayhem!

??

[glidrose]

Tomorrow Never Dies - plane mayhem

Benson or Deaver?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hmm...have to say Deaver, loved 'Carte Blanche' and will be happy to see more.


Alternate time-line movie for Bond...


Daniel Craig is back as James Bond, a secret agent for British Intelligence, working in co-operation with the CIA in 1950s America investigating rogue Russian satellites operating in US soil by suspected Communists working to cause a global meltdown to major cities across the world. The CIA don't trust Bond's methods and even after helping the President in a covert mission, Bond is still under the close eye of top brass operatives. High speed car chases, roof-top pursuits and seedy street fights await. Bond even finds himself in a diner as he tails a suspect with the 'Happy Days' music by Jimmy Haas playing in the background, with young greasers around him and pretty ladies batting eyelashes at the suave Englishman...

OR

Daniel Craig is James Bond, this time on board the RMS Titanic in 1912 sailing from Southampton to New York. Bond has been assigned to track and remove a suspected terrorist from the boat for questioning back with the Secret Service for a high profile politcal murder in Europe as he flees the continent. But Bond is caught up in a midst of secrets and lies as he finds his suspect well protected and webs of deciet leading further into high places. But of course, this voyage will not make it to the New York shore. In the eyes of the world it was an unfortunate incident on dangerous seas, but Bond will find out the shocking truth behind this...

[Messervy]

The 50's (maybe Bond could meet the Fonz?...)

a Vodka-Martini

or

a Vesper?

[thecasinoroyale]

A Vesper. Something about the way Craig sells it in 'Casino Royale'...


Do you prefer Bond as a heavy...


Drinker

or

Smoker

??

[Messervy]

Smoker (I fear a heavy drinker might end up sick in a sewer...).
Speaking of which:
Bond to smoke

cigarettes (custom-made Morland)

or

cigars (Montecristo)?

[thecasinoroyale]

Cigarettes. Connery and Dalton pulled it off the way Bond should with cigarettes. Even Moore managed a cigar well...but Brosnan just looked daft with one and ruined it all.


What factor annoyed you most about the Daniel Craig attack pre-'Casino Royale'


"Blond, Bland Bond"

OR

"Mr Potato Head"

??

[DamnCoffee]

"Blond, Bland Bond"


Ralph Fiennes replaces Judi Dench as M
or
Alan Rickman replaces Judi Dench as M

[thecasinoroyale]

Ralph Fiennes replaces Judi Dench as M. Couldn't watch Rickman without thinking about Hans Gruber, or the Sheriff of Nottingham!

"Use a spoon, Bond! It'll hurt more, you twit!"


Alternate James Bond actor casting...


Hugh Jackman

OR

Sam Worthington

??

[SPECTRE ASSASSIN]

Have to go with Jackman, even though he's older and obviously associated too much with Wolverine. I simply dont see Worthington as Bond. he doesnt any great acting chops or charisma.

Alternate near-Bond replacement: John Gavin or James Brolin?

[The Dove]

John Gavin..

Daniel Craig's Bond scuba diving OR skiing in a future Bond film?

[thecasinoroyale]

Daniel Craig's Bond skiing - need some good ski action for Craig, he'd pull sequences of very well I think, more suited to him than slow scuba diving.


1970s Bond era

OR

1980s Bond era

??

[Messervy]

1980's (probably not the best era, but the one I grew up with, so...).

a former Bond to play a villain:

Connery

or

Dalton?

[thecasinoroyale]

Has to be Timothy Dalton. I feel Connery has had a bad run of playing villains post-Bond, so think he would be looked at as 'hammy' in a villain role. Dalton has more air of menace and grit to him, he could pull it off better.


Best Bond era...

1960s

OR

2000s

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Best Bond era...

1960s, definitely.

The Spy Who Loved Me/Moonraker

or

Octopussy/A View to a Kill?

[thecasinoroyale]

Aghh another good couple of double features, but a clear winner for me is the pinnacle of Roger Moore's Bond guilty pleasures...

'Octopussy' / 'A View To A Kill'


Which villain would you want to see make a return in a future Bond film:

Max Zorin

OR

Karl Stromberg

??

[The Dove]

I'd like to see Max Zorin return...the character has so much potential when going up against Craig's 007..

For the end credits of 'Skyfall' : The James Bond theme to be played OR have a secondary title song (ala, The Experience of Love, If There Was A Man, Surrender etc..) to be played?

[thecasinoroyale]

The James Bond theme BUT not overtly loud, brassy and full of bongo drums like David Arnold blasted around at the end of 'Casino Royale' and 'Quantum Of Solace' - just use that electric guitar, strings and double bass and drums...don't go mental, let's keep is tense, sharp and pure 007!


Worst Bond soundtrack:

'Tomorrow Never Dies'

OR

'Quantum Of Solace'

??


*Please note I think they are both great, just want you to make the hard choice of which is worst..!

[The Dove]

Ooh tough one, thecasinoroyale...have to give the slight edge to Tomorrow Never Dies... Quantum's soundtrack is more unique in my opinion, but yeah I like both soundtracks myself..

More "emotional " Bond moment : Bond getting annoyed at Anya mentioning his dossier and his marriage being cut short in TSWLM OR Bond drinking six Vesper martini's on the plane in QoS while looking at Vesper's photo?

[glidrose]

Bond, Anya and TSWLM. A great moment that doesn't get enough respect. Much better than the QoS moment.

NSNA?

or

AVTAK?

[Eric Stromberg]

I'll hunt you down, glidrose...for making me choose AVTAK over anything.

Better shag for Bond in the future:

Freida Pinto

or

Jennifer Lawrence?

[SPECTRE ASSASSIN]

Have to go with the hottest woman at the moment, Jennifer Lawrence

Merlot or Pinot Noir?

[Eric Stromberg]

Hmmm...Pinot Noir if you have the $ to spend on a good one. Otherwise Merlot is a better value choice.

Would you rather have:

Dinner and drinks with the elegant Roger Moore

or

A pub crawl with Daniel Craig?

[SPECTRE ASSASSIN]

I'll slum it with Mr. Craig. The setting fits more of my scene.

Clubbing with Grace Jones

or

Talking nuclear fusion with Denise Richards?

[Eric Stromberg]

Clubbing with Grace Jones...hell yeah! Call me, dear, I have Merlot.

Denise Richards on the tile kitchen floor

or

Grace Jones up against a stainless steel refrig

[thecasinoroyale]

Denise Richards on the tile kitchen floor...no contest. I admit, it's a little kinky...



Future Bond girl casting for a Daniel Craig film...


Penelope Cruz

OR

Angelina Jolie

??

[The Dove]

Penelope Cruz

Having a chance for you, yourself to play poker against one of the 007s: Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan or Craig?

[Eric Stromberg]

I'm taking a chance here but I'm going with Angelina Jolie on the conditions that she is the main villain's sadistic, silent killer (no dialogue). AJ's creepy enough to pull it off quite well I think.

Penelope Cruz

Having a chance for you, yourself to play poker against one of the 007s: Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan or Craig?

Since I'm playing to win I'll take Brosnan. He just doesn't seem like he'd be a great bluffer. No way am I playing Craig...

Is the director of Skyfall more likely to show, at a Shanghai street cafe, 007 eating:

Noodles from a bowl

or

Fried scorpions, a delicacy in China?
