Have to say that while it ranks bottom of my favorites in terms of Bond rankings, it's not as bad as people say it is..it's definitely got several flaws but maintains the iconic elements...at least we rebounded fabulously with Casino Royale after Die Another Day..

With only 9 days to go til Skyfall is unleashed in the U.K. and the general public for the first time, are you...still remaining patient and calm OR dancing about with glee, unable to sleep or concentrate properly in class or work with sheer excitement? :)

Um Dancing around with Glee, duh!

Are you...

excited about Daniel Craig carrying on the franchise for more bonds? Or Do you want someone else to take up the role?

I fully support the Craig 2012-(TBA) campaign...

Lazenby's kilt attire in On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Or

Moore's yellow & red ski attire in The Spy Who Loved Me

The ski attire, I don't like kilts.

Which Bond movie is the worst?
Moonraker or The Living Daylights.

The Living Daylights and the word 'worst' should never appear in the same sentence! Moonraker it is.

Choose your weapon:

Red Grant's garrote wire watch

Or

Tee Hee's mechanical claw

Definitely the mechanical claw, but that's just me.

Which would you prefer as your way of travel?

The infamous Aston Martin or the Lotus Esprit from the Spy Who Loved me?

Tough one but I would have to go with the DB5 although it would be fun to drive or Brosnan's BMW.

Who would you rather see SF with: Ben Whishaw and Javier Bardem OR Naomie Harris and Judi Dench ?

Ben Whishaw and Javier Bardem, bit of a Bond lads night out I think! But you didn't mention Berenice, so that would have clinched it for me.


Do you feel Bond Girls...

Aren't REALLY Bond Girls anymore - they feel more like forgettable, lesser fleshed out characters and sidekicks to Bond now, rather than the disposable pleasures and bikini-clad beauties with memorable names

OR

They are STILL the Bond Girls we know and love - just modern, with a feminist twist and pack more punch than they ever did, which works better than it did years ago.

Tough call, not seeing Q yet. But I bet he's better as Q as I found him really annoying in 'Layer Cake'!


Who is the better Q...?


Quarrel (Dr.No)

OR

Quarrel Jnr (Live And Let Die)

A Great Idea he should do the next one or.. terrible idea.

Great Idea but I don't think he should do the next one, they should wait a few year see what other films he is does.

Would you rather the gun barrel be at the beginning of Bond 24 OR it remain at the end for the rest of the Craig films?

Preferrably at the beginning of Bond 24..

Should Craig's Bond see a return of Colin Salmon as Charles Robinson OR Joe Don Baker's Jack Wade?

Jack Wade. Nothing against Sir Colin Salmon, but he seems like an underwear model, whereas Joe Don Baker is a character. I would almost trade Felix Leiter for another dose of Jack Wade. (Although there's no reason they couldn't appear together, in a Jules Winfield-Vincent Vega sort of situation.)

What kind of Bond girl do you prefer:

A professional who is in her element (like Pussy Galore, Major Amasova, and Pam Bouvier)

or

A naive outsider thrust into an unfamiliar situation (like Honey Ryder, Kara Milovy, and Natalya Simonova)

???

Do you think there are anymore surprises left about SF OR have we figured it all out.

Will 'Skyfall' be able to top your all time favourite James Bond film if it's as good as it sounds?

YES - This sounds to be the one!

OR

NO - My favourite is my favourite for life!

Hmm.. I am going to go with YES! It sounds like a good one.

Benedict Cumberbatch is rumored to be a Bond villain in Bond 24.

Is that.....

A good thing, he would make a great Bond villain or.. Absolutely not, big mistake!

Good thing. His name alone qualifies him as a Bond villain, to say nothing of his voice.

Which character dynamic would work better:

A Bond girl who is the villain's daughter

or

A Bond girl who is the villain's sister

???

I think a Bond girl who is the villain's daughter...would give the Bond series a nice mix up..

Who looked more out of place...Roger having one of Sean's vodka martinis (in TSWLM and MR) OR George in his one brief appearance with Q at his wedding at the end of OHMSS?

George in his one brief appearance with Q at his wedding at the end of 'OHMSS' - No chemistry at all and just a shame there was no other chance for them to share a scene or two.


Who is the better Admiral.

Hargreaves in 'The Spy Who Loved Me' - our future 'M'

OR

Roebuck in 'Tomorrow Never Dies' - verbal sparring with 'M'

I think Tina Turner could do it again - not have Bassey try to out-do herself, as she did enough. Turner did well with 'GoldenEye'.


Do you prefer James Bond...


Working with a small army to save the day a'la 'The Spy Who Loved Me', 'You Only Live Twice' or 'The Living Daylights'

OR

Going it alone to get the job done a'la 'Dr.No', 'A View To A Kill' or 'GoldenEye'

??

Bond going it alone..much more exciting!!

Which of the following popular British dishes is more suited to have Bond partake in in a future film? Fish and Chips Or Bangers and Mash?

Fish and chips. More naval.

What would be a more revolting development?

Bond having a child (a la James Suzuki)

or

Bond getting married (and the wife not immediately dying)

Bond having a child. It would probably be Moneypenny's and always be with them at the MI6 daycare, just turn into a whole thing.,Q's helping Bond child proof his home etc.

Bond 24 is a winter film and features one of these winter sports; bobsledding OR hockey?
