"He is blond Bond and that just can't be!"
That was just plain ridiculous.

Bond not smoking in recent films:

It's a good thing, smoking is not cool anymore anyway

or

It's a shame, Bond loses one of the substantial elements of his character

[thecasinoroyale]

It's a good thing, smoking is not cool anymore anyway.


Bond turning to beer instead of Vodka martinis -


Tabloid trash that has turned Bond fans to nervous wrecks. He's not going to NOT have a Vodka martini anymore, come on!

OR

Probably fact - lots of people have said it, and so maybe Bond is turning away from the martini now for the modern day audience. Fair enough.

Rumors that Adele's "new single" which is expected by the end of the year: WILL be OR WILL NOT be the theme to "Skyfall" ?

[thecasinoroyale]

Urgh...I really hope this WILL NOT be the theme to "Skyfall". Just, anyone but that over-played, over-hyped dross singer, please Sam! George Mi..actually...


Singer for "Skyfall" which is a power ballad in the tempo of 'Licence To Kill'


George Michael

OR

Sir Elton John

??

[The Dove]

George Michael...(just listen to his hit song, 'Cowboys and Angels'...that's pure Bond right there!)

The better hope for 'Skyfall': That it does so well at the box office and wins over new Bond fans that they..A. Quit whining once and for all about Daniel Craig not looking like a proper Bond OR B...That it makes people revisit Quantum of Solace and actually appreciate the bright spots in that movie and they no longer disregard it as a total disaster?

Better rendition of Bond music by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra:

The Man with the Golden Gun

or

Casino Royale

?

[thecasinoroyale]

'You Know My Name' - sounds brilliant as an instrumental!


What is the 'worst' element of 'Quantum Of Solace'? Is it...

The fast editing over the action sequences and shaky-camera use

OR

The weak plot, trying to be independent but tie on from 'Casino Royale'

??

[glidrose]

Both are terrible. But if you force me to pick one...

The fast editing over the action sequences and shaky-camera use.

Which Bond film would you rather lose?

OHMSS

or

CR '06

[Eric Stromberg]

glidrose, when this is all over I'm going to find you...

I'll give up OHMSS...damn you

As future punishment for your heinous mashups and juxtapositions (and probably being an agent of Quantum although I can't prove it yet), you will be forced to watch, Clockwork Orange style, for two weeks continuously without rest:

The Original Casino Royale (in 3D no less)

or

AVTAK

[Pussfeller]

AVTAK. I might enjoy that.

Was Lois Maxwell's Moneypenny...

British

or

Not British ?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hm...nice question Pussfeller. I go for NOT British...don't know where, but a little part of me feels she's not British from birth anyway.


Which Bond film would you like to see re-released in 3D...


'The Spy Who Loved Me'

OR

'GoldenEye'

??

[The Dove]

"Goldeneye"in 3-D...If "Spy..." were released in 3-D, the oh-so obvious model shots of Stromberg's boat landing in the water and the shot of Atlantis' helicopter bay underwater would be EVEN WORSE,,

Well we know "Dr. No" is already going to get a 50th anniversary, cinema re-release...which of the two films from other Bond eras should also be re-released in cinemas... "OHMSS" OR "LALD' ?

[Pussfeller]

OHMSS. A better film than LALD, and much more deserving of popular rediscovery and reappraisal.

Where will Bond return first:

India

or

Japan ?

[glidrose]

Where will Bond return first:

India

or

Japan ?

Japan. Not unless India gets its act together.

Hm...nice question Pussfeller. I go for NOT British...don't know where, but a little part of me feels she's not British from birth anyway.

Maxwell is Canadian by birth. Her accent is strange when you listen to it.

AVTAK

Fantastic! Where do I sign up? I love AVTAK and I think CR'54 is okay.

Why not throw in a hot date with Kate Perry while you're at it?

OHMSS fans are so dumb....

[thecasinoroyale]

Are 'OHMSS' fans...


Dumb

or

Not dumb

[glidrose]

Shouldn't that be "dumb or dumber"?

[thecasinoroyale]

Right this is way off track...come on....


Will the James Bond series reach it's 75th Anniversay..?

YES - We will continue far after Daniel Craig and a fresh team at EON, continuing the cinematic legacy

OR

NO - A few contenders will try continue Daniel Craig's powerful performance, but as EON originals decline, the series will soon hit it's 'Die Another Day' and bow out.

??

[glidrose]

I'll say "no" if forced to make a choice. By this point Broccoli and Wilson's children will be in control. Further, there arises the very ugly matter of copyright, public domain, etc. The first book will be 84 years old.

John Gardner only writes his first five Bond novels and the copyright holders engage new authors for three book runs and we have no say who the authors are.

or

Gardner writes the 16 Bond novels we currently have.

Octopussy/ The Living Daylights

or

The Man with the Golden Gun/The Spy Who Loved Me?

[The Dove]

Octopussy/The Living Daylights...

"Skyfall" will be the greatest "3rd time" Bond film for an actor since: Goldfinger OR The Spy Who Loved Me?

[thecasinoroyale]

I think 'The Spy Who Loved Me' - something about the over-inflated 'Goldfinger' sadly puts me off that film as the "pinnacle" of what Bond should be.



What is your worst fear for 'Skyfall' once released....

The box-office takings are less than 'Quantum Of Solace' by about £200 million.

OR

Daniel Craig is compared by critics as Bond now being on par with 'world weary Timothy Dalton circa 1989 - all bang, no Bond'

??

[The Dove]

Don't think we'll need to worry about the first scenario, so.. Daniel Craig is compared by critics as Bond now being on par with "world weary Timothy Dalton circa 1989 - all bang, no Bond"... I pray that day NEVER comes...if it does, bye-bye Daniel Craig..

The Bond actor/actress, reappearing in a different role whom you liked more: Walter Gotell (Morenzy/Gen. Golgo), Maude Adams (Andrea Anders/Octopussy), Joe Don Baker (Brad Whitaker/Jack Wade), OR Albert Moses (bartender in TSWLM / Sadrudin in OP) ?

[thecasinoroyale]

I'll go for the undergod, Albert Moses as I love Sadrudin in 'OP'! Walter Gotell close second for how good Gogol is.


What do you think the rumoured 'big announcement' is coming for Bond fans on Monday?


The reveal of the 'Skyfall' teaser poster

OR

A big 50th Anniversary event to be held

??

[The Dove]

I'm hoping its the reveal of the 'Skyfall' teaser poster!

A choice of one of the many great Bond stunts over the years which MUST be included in a 50th anniversary retrospective: The ski/parachute jump in The Spy Who Love Me, Bond and Molaka fighting on the crane in Casino Royale, The rock climbing stunt in For Your Eyes Only OR the Q boat jump and twirl in The World Is Not Enough?

[thecasinoroyale]

Oooohh you swine...now as I feel they are all great stunts in their own right, to cap off a 50th Anniversay, I have to say Bond and Molaka fighting on the crane in 'Casino Royale'. Nearing 50 years when that came out, and still proving they deliver shockingly amazing and tense stuntwork!



For the 50th Anniversary, EON host a special award presentation called 'Nobody Does It Better' which is filmed live across the world and hot on the press, and they, along with a panel of judges, fans and critics, honour just one James Bond actor as the face of 007, the man who made an impact and truly delivered James Bond to the cinema fans.

Does the award go to...

Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan or Daniel Craig.

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

I figure EON would give it to Roger Moore since he's still an ambassador for the franchise and played Bond in the highest number of official Bond films.

Double feature:

Dr. No/Moonraker

or

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service/For Your Eyes Only?

[thecasinoroyale]

Simple one that PKK... 'Dr.No'/'Moonraker'


In 'Skyfall', what would you prefer...


That Ralph Fiennes's character turns out to be a criminal mastermind and the villain of the film

OR

Javier Bardem's character is a former MI6 Agent and turns out to be good in the end, working to bring down the mole in MI6

??

[The Dove]

I would prefer the former...Ralph Fiennes turns out to be a criminal mastermind...

Daniel Kleinman (I'm hoping he's back) title sequence for Skyfall...Should it be in the style of..Casino Royale's OR Goldeneye's ?

[thecasinoroyale]

Ooh..good one...however, as much as I love 'Casino Royale', lets hope they give us a Bond film with a capital B and go slightly vintage with something like 'GoldenEye' - less CGI effects, more naked woman, guns and symbolic images!



A new James Bond video game is coming in 2012...do you want..

A 'Skyfall' adaption, 1st and 3rd person shooter

OR

A brand new original game set in the 1980s

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

A brand new original game set in the 1980s

The Bond films of the 1960s and the 1970s

or

The Bond films of the 1980s and 1990s?
