Yes, i suppose I wasn't expecting as much as we.

Sean Connery in OHMSS

OR

Pierce Brosnan in TLD - Bond21

[thecasinoroyale]

Sean Connery in 'OHMSS' - could have been a brilliant one for Connery.


What marketing do you prefer -

Posters - Teaser, official, character and banners

OR

TV Spots

??

[The Dove]

TV Spots...shows that we are getting closer and closer to the release of a new Bond film..

Product placement in the Bond films...does it: irritate the hell out of you OR not really, as long as it isn't too obvious ??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Not really. Even when it's very obvious like in MR when Drax's henchman ends up in the mouth of the British Airways stewardess or when Bond looks thru Holly's desk and finds a very prominent Air France ticket holder and a pack of Marlboros.

The business meeting scene where number 9 is electrocuted by Blofeld in Thunderball

or

The business meeting scene where the Taiwanese tycoon literally "drops out" of Project Main Strike in A View to a Kill?

[thecasinoroyale]

The business meeting scene where the Taiwanese tycoon literally "drops out" of Project Main Strike in 'A View To A Kill' - wonderful bit of dastardly evil from Zorin and May Day, and what a way to go. And Zorin's pun to top it off - brilliant.


Who deserved the slap more...

Tatiana Romanova in 'From Russia With Love' - facing the wrath of Bond after Kerim's death into what she really knew

OR

Andrea Anders in 'The Man With The Golden Gun' - facing the power of Bond as he pushes to find out more about Scaramanga

??

[The Dove]

(not that we are condoning anyone every slapping a woman around)...Have to say Bond and Tania...emotionally it works when Bond loses his trusty Turkish ally and is feeling frustrated and not having any answers as to what the hell he is involved in.

Now that all the wonderful surprises of Skyfall, (i.e. Adele's theme song, details and preview clips of Thomas Newman's score, TV Spots and trailers etc) are starting to wind down as we fast approach the release of the film, are you: More excited than ever OR slightly sad with the kind of after-all-the-christmas-presents-have-been-unwrapped feeling and all the anticipation won't be felt again until the build up to Bond 24??

[S K Y F A L L]

I'm still excited for SF and can't wait to finally see it, I even more excited I suppose because there are still some secrets left, like 'whats in the box?' So there are still gifts to be unwrapped so to speak IMO.

What about SF are you looking forward to the most: The pre title sequence and title sequence OR meeting Q for the first time?

[thecasinoroyale]

Deffo the pre-title sequence! Meeting Q will be good but he's not Desmond Llewelyn, and the gadgets will be very toned down (I think), so that's nothing to be THAT excited for, in my mind...but I long to proven wrong!#

For David Arnold's Brosnan-Bond era, do you think the music...

Is just fast dance beats heard in the clubs with the James Bond theme woven throughout

OR

Well crafted, well paced current music that reflected the tone of a new-generation of Bond films

??

[The Dove]

Have to say well-crafted, well paced current music that reflected the tone of a new-generation of Bond films..

How well do you expect Skyfall to do at the box office?? Shatter the records in terms of money made by Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace OR do a bout the same amount?

[thecasinoroyale]

I think it will eclipse 'Casino Royale' and 'Quantum Of Solace' - there has been so much Bond this year in the public eye that is really is a celebration of the franchise, and with the excellent previews and current marketing for 'Skyfall', I do think it will be like Craig's second-coming as 007 and be the Bond everyone wanted 'Casino Royale' to be - Bond with a capital B, and we're going to lap it up!


If 'Skyfall' doesn't match or over-take the total gross for 'Quantum Of Solace', behind 'Casino Royale', will you...

Feel dissapointed that even after all the hype, it's still not enough to get Bond back up in the box-office and something must be flagging already with the franchise, and Daniel Craigs interpretation

OR

Not worry too much as it's just another term of economical stability, and the box office will rise and fall, and there is enough love for Bond out there away from the cinema takings

??

[The Dove]

Not to worry..just another sign of economic stability...not to worry though..every sign we see is pointing to Skyfall smashing box office records and restoring the faith of those general fans who were totally disappointed by Quantum of Solace...I mean, do we really expect Spielberg's "Lincoln" or Twilight - Part 3,445 or (whatever the final film is called) to outdo Bond, James Bond at the box office?? I sure as hell don't!

Bond theme remixes...which do you prefer more? Bond vs Oakenfold (DAD) OR The James Bond Theme - Moby (TND) ??

[QOS4EVER]

I think it will eclipse 'Casino Royale' and 'Quantum Of Solace' - there has been so much Bond this year in the public eye that is really is a celebration of the franchise, and with the excellent previews and current marketing for 'Skyfall', I do think it will be like Craig's second-coming as 007 and be the Bond everyone wanted 'Casino Royale' to be - Bond with a capital B, and we're going to lap it up!

But still I am 100% sure it will over take QOS and Skyfall. Though I dont like the look of Skyfall so far.There's no doubt it will overtake QOS and CR

[thecasinoroyale]

Hmm...both are alright mixes but as only the Oakenfold track contains a few good bits, I have to go with the classic James Bond Theme by Moby, that really launched Bond into a new generation and still sounds fresh and exciting today!


If you had the chance to win one of the recent Christies Bond 50th Anniversary auction lots, which one would you want to snap up...

The 'Snooper Dog' gadget from 'A View To A Kill'

OR

A gold bar prop from 'Goldfinger'

??

[The Dove]

Have to go with the gold bar prop from "Goldfinger"

Thomas Newman's Skyfall score...so far, from the preview clips, are you...disappointed that there isn't more of the Bond theme OR not panicking yet..there's still SO much of the score we haven't heard yet??

[S K Y F A L L]

I would have picked the gold bar as well and I'm not panicking just yet, still so much we haven't heard.

Which SF secret are you looking forward to seeing the most: What's in the box? OR Who is Silva?

[thecasinoroyale]

Who is Silva...can't wait to find out the motives behind this man!


Who's character do you think will steal the overall 'Skyfall' movie...

Raoul Silva

OR

M

??

[The Dove]

Hopefully Raoul Silva, but M will play a big role in the movie too..

Again..

Thomas Newman's Skyfall score...so far, from the preview clips, are you...disappointed that there isn't more of the Bond theme OR not panicking yet..there's still SO much of the score we haven't heard yet??

[thecasinoroyale]

Not panicking yet..there's still SO much of the score we haven't heard yet! Very exciting to hear a new composer, nervous, but exciting and hope there is plenty of classic Bond theme!


Skyfall reviews. Are you...

More excited with the amount of positive feedback

OR

A bit worried it's too early, and people are riding high on the 50th Bond vibe and it may not be what YOU wanted

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

I'll pick "A bit worried it's too early, and people are riding high on the 50th Bond vibe and it may not be what YOU wanted" since I've become very skeptical of the critics.

Roger Moore as James Bond in Dr. No

http://007art.free.f..._No_Moore_2.jpg

or Timothy Dalton as James Bond in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service

http://007art.free.f...r_1-212x300.jpg ?

[The Dove]

Hmm..have to go with Roger Moore in Dr. No

Will you be seeing Skyfall...in IMAX OR the regular cinema?

[Iceskater101]

Regular Cinema.... unfortunetely. :/

Seeing Skyfall Midnight Showing? or Opening Weekend?

[thecasinoroyale]

Sadly for me it's opening weekend (day) as there are no midnight screenings around the UK I'm aware of. Annoying.

Adele has reached Number 2 in the UK Top 40 chart with 'Skyfall' after entering at Number 4, so she has risen 2 spots in a week. With current popular music and trends, do you think fans and music lovers will get her to Number 1 next week or is Numer 2 the highest she will peak?

YES - She will manage to hit Number One thanks to eager fans, the buzz from the movie and CD sales

OR

NO - It's done well to be so high, but other songs will knock her down places that are appealing to more fans of general music, rather than a Bond theme

??

[The Dove]

Sadly I think it'll be "NO - It's done well to be so high, but other songs will knock her down..." Personally, I couldn't be more thrilled for Adele to have done so well with Skyfall...I wasn't much of a fan of her's before, but that might be slowly changing..

Right...when you head to the theater to go and see "Skyfall" for the first time, you find that all the showings are sold out....do you.. Go home or to a pub and drown your disappointment in a pint or two and give up in despair and wait until a week or two later OR, being the true Bond fan that you are, come up with a terrific excuse to get out of work/school on Monday and go to the very first showing that day when everyone else has to be at work or school?

[S K Y F A L L]

I'll see it Monday because I can't wait to see this.

What about SF are you looking forward to the most; the new Q OR finding out more about Eve ?

[thecasinoroyale]

Finding more about Eve - certainly a lot more to that girl than we expect I think.


From what we have seen about Silva, will Javier Bardem's performance...


Go down as one of the great, favourite Bond villains like Max Zorin, Emilio Largo or Scaramanga?

OR

Simply be a good performance, but one that doesn't exactly break down barriers like Elliott Carver, Hugo Drax or Alec Trevelyan?

??

[The Dove]

Oh no doubt he'll "go down as one of the great, favorite Bond villians like Max Zorin, Emilio Largo or Scaramanga.."

Are you pleased more with...Ben Whishaw's portrayal of Q being SO favorably received so far OR the return of the classic Aston Martin DB5 in Skyfall?

[Iceskater101]

Probably the return of the Aston Martin DB5 because it is a classic?

Ben Whishaw's portrayal of Q? or bring in somebody who is a little bit older someone like John Cleese or someone that is more Bond's age?

[S K Y F A L L]

Whishaw is fine with me, he can't get any younger.

Bond 24 and Beyond; The return of the Lotus OR Little Nellie ?

[The Dove]

An updated version of Little Nellie would be great to see for Craig's Bond..

Jaws' metal teeth OR Tee Hee's mechanical arm?

[thecasinoroyale]

Have to say it's Jaw's metal teeth - everytime that smile cracks, it's great.


On refelction, honestly, is 'Die Another Day' to you...

As bad as it's deemed now. It's got everything wrong with it and just shows that the Bond fire was waning after all those years. It shouldn't have been made.

OR

Not as bad as people say. It's got flaws, but after 9/11, Bond as a whole had lost his footing but the film is loud and proud, and just good fun with iconic elements.
