Oh that's tough...not many of my favourites there, actually, only one! But I can't be bothered with Lazenby for Moore, so I'll take the dreary 'Thunderball' / 'The Man With The Golden Gun' offerings, with two decent Bonds!


If a villain from the Timothy Dalton era was brought back re-booted for Daniel Craig's Bond, would you like..

Dario - A ruthless henchman to the main villain, a slightly crazy in his methods

OR

Necros - A tough, tall assassin with a chamelon like appearence and very cold-blooded

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Necros.

Mrs. Della Churchill Leiter-

http://www.jamesbond...a-barnes?id=002

or

Mrs. Paris McKenna Carver-

http://www.jamesbond...-hatcher?id=007 ?

[thecasinoroyale]

Has to be Mrs Carver, any time!


Who would make the best wife for James Bond:

Pam Bouvier for Timothy Dalton's 007

OR

Melina Havelock for Roger Moore's 007

??

[The Dove]

Have to go with Pam Bouvier for Dalton's James Bond..

Ursula Andress....did you prefer her more as Honey Ryder in Dr. No OR as Vesper Lynd in the 1967 Casino Royale ??

[thecasinoroyale]

No question - Honey Ryder in 'Dr.No'.


If a James Bond film from the Sean Connery era was rebooted for Bond 24, what you want it to be..


'Dr.No' - Bond must investigate a mysterious criminal working out of Jamaica, linked to the Quantum organisation and plotting a sabotage nuclear missles and use them on majjor cities across the world.

OR

'Goldfinger' - Bond faces Auric Goldfinger, a power crazed billionnaire who is also planning on the heist of the century at Fort Knox, or so it seems at first.

??

[The Dove]

Hmm..i'm curious as to what a modern remake of "Dr. No" would be like..

Return-to-locations for Daniel Craig's 007 in a future film: Piz Gloria in Murren, Switzerland OR Isthmus City?

[thecasinoroyale]

I loved the wonderful, yet eerie, Isthmus City and could be used quite well for Craig's 007.


Best James Bond...no thinking...


Timothy Dalton

OR

Pierce Brosnan

??

[S K Y F A L L]

Pierce Brosnan for me I was about 11 years old when I seen my first Bond film GE and I've been hooked ever since.

What are you looking forward to the most this week: possible SF theme song confirmation and song by Friday OR Global James Bond Day and Craig hosting Saturday Night Live.

[Pussfeller]

Theme song. I'm very curious about that. Not so interested in SNL and "Global James Bond Day", whatever that will entail.

Which oddball Fleming reference would you prefer to see in a film?

Bond drinking Miller High Life

or

Bond stirring amphetamines into his champagne

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Bond stirring amphetamines into his champagne. I can see Craig's Bond doing that.


Which James Bond theme is most over-rated...

'Goldfinger' by Shirley Bassey

OR

'Live And Let Die' by Paul McCartney & Wings

??

[The Dove]

Neither really, in my book. (imo it's Nobody Does It Better) but given the choice of the two,I'd have to go with Goldfinger..

Now that we know it's Adele doing the theme song, 100% confirmed, do you hope: that the theme song is used for BOTH the opening titles and end credits, a la Casino Royale OR that just the James Bond theme is used for the end credits as well as a cue from Newman's score?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hmm...I felt the Bond theme at the titles of the last few films was always rushed and a bit "loud", and that ruined the appeal of the dangerous, edgy tune, so I'd go for the main title song to play again.


Off duty, is James Bond a more...

Fish and chips, with curry sauce washed down with and a glass of cold milk

OR

Steak and french fries, with vegetables wshed down with a cold beer

??

[S K Y F A L L]

Depends when and where he is, if its lunch I would say fish and chips but for dinner I would have to say a steak and french fries washed down with a beer.

Do you think we'll get 3 films as normal this decade OR finally bet 3 and make 4 or even 5?

[The Dove]

I would think we'll get 3 films this decade...Skyfall (2012), Bond 24 (2014) and Bond 25 (2016)..after that there may be a three year gap while a new actor (and I hope that ISN'T the case) for Bond is saught out..

Have you pre-ordered Adele's Skyfall from iTunes already OR will you just buy it and download it when it comes out on Friday?

[thecasinoroyale]

I'll buy it when it comes out - on CD single form to go with my little collection.

In a former life, is James Bond was an animal, do you think he was...


An eagle, proud and soaring the skies alone and hunting for prey when needed

OR

A snake, stealthy and sly, hidden amongst his surroundings hunting down his food

??

[The Dove]

Depends on which Bond it is..Connery would be the snake...Brosnan would be the eagle, to my mind..lol!

Skyfall...Do you..A. Either live or wish you in the U.K. and thus only have to wait til Oct. 26th to see the film and be amongst the first group of CBNn'ers to enjoy it in all it's splendor or B. Live in the U.S. and thus have to wait til Nov. 9th or later but are looking forward to seeing what the first reviews on CBn bring, thusly building up that much more anticipation for you?

[Trevelyan 006]

Wished I lived in the U.K. Hands Down. Trying not to read too much on the internet before it is released over here is going to be a killer!

The year is 1999, who would you rather wife:

Sophie Marceau

Or

Denise Richards

[thecasinoroyale]

Not for acting ability but everything else, I'd go for Denise Richards!



In a shock move, 'Skyfall' is changed by EON under a sudden copyright infringement. But the new title is revealed on Global James Bond Day as...


007 In London

OR

007 Strikes Back
??

[S K Y F A L L]

007 in London, Strikes Back reminds me of The Empire Strikes Back.

Whom would you rather return from DAD: Jinx OR Falco ?

[The Dove]

Ugh!! I would prefer NEITHER one of them return but if I had to pick one, I'd say Falco..if only to see Daniel Craig's Bond give him a good punch in the face!!

Craig's Bond runs into a past "fling" from years ago and the original actress returns reprise the role..should it be: Lynn Holly Johnson as Bibi Dahl OR Barbara Bach's Any Amasova?

[thecasinoroyale]

Nice...I'd have to say Barbara Bach as Anya Amasova. Bibi Dahl would just seem out of place for Craig's Bond to have a fling with!


Along similar lines, a previous villain from the series returns for Craig's Bond to battle in Bond 24. Is it...

Baron Samedi - The voodoo man who can not die, returning once more to haunt 007 and kill him once and for his new team of voodoo mercenaries.

OR

Nick Nack - The pint-sized killer toting a gun and a bag of peanuts returns to finish his vendetta gainst 007 for killing his master, Francisco Scaramanga.

??

[The Dove]

Oh hands down it has to be a re-vamped Baron Samedi...If the final fight between Roger's Bond and Nick Nack didn't look stupid and goofy enough, I'd hate to think what might happen to Craig's Bond!

Bond 24 (never too early to start thinking about it I suppose..hah!) do you want to see Daniel Craig: skiing OR golfing, as a sort of nice nod to Goldfinger (2014 is the 50th anniversary of Goldfinger) ??

[Trevelyan 006]

I'd go with golfing, naturally. I'd be pretty interested in seeing how they'd go about it.

Whyte Industries' moon buggy (DAF)

Or

Q-Branch's Wetbike (TSWLM)

[S K Y F A L L]

Moon buggy all the way, the moon landing was faked I tell you and Bond know it.

A game of poker with Berenice Marlohe

OR

The firing range with Naomie Harris

[Cruiserweight]

Poker


A hot cup of tea
or
A cold stiff one

[The Dove]

A cold stiff one *insert Roger Moore Bond pun here!! *

Secondary Bond songs... The Experience of Love - Eric Serra (Goldeneye) OR If There Was A Man - The Pretenders (The Living Daylights) ??

[S K Y F A L L]

Tough one but I would have to go with 'The Experience of Love'

Timothy Dalton secondary Bond song: If their was a man OR If you ask me to?

[thecasinoroyale]

Both quite good...but I go for 'If There Was A Man', a great song.



What vehicle are you most looking forward to seeing in action during 'Skyfall'

The Turkish train, for the opening title sequence

OR

The helecopter, during the finale showdown at the Scottish lodge

??

[The Dove]

Have to go with the Turkish train sequence..

Global James Bond Day...have you had your fill from whatever Bond-related events you might have partaken in yesterday OR HELL NO!! Let it continue and celebrate all weekend and beyond?

(it's the latter for me.. decided after watching Dr. No and Goldeneye that I'm gonna continue with the rest of the "1st films" for each actor.. OHMSS today, then LALD, TLD and CR. Plus I've got the X-box up and running with Bloodstone, Goldeneye: Reloaded and Quantum of Solace)

[thecasinoroyale]

HELL NO!! Let it continue and celebrate all weekend and beyond! This is the YEAR of James Bond! I've got the films to go into leading to 'Skyfall' and then 007: Legends....this is the year.


Are you proud to be a James Bond fan this year?


YES - It's been something I wasn't expecting it to be, really emotional and finding that James Bond is still strong and growing in the world's culture 50 years on!

OR

NO - It's going a little too far and I feel the fans are being taken for a ride with the celebrations, except the film being released, I was hoping for more.
