Have to give the edge to For Your Eyes Only although You Only Live Twice will always have a soft spot in my heart...

What's the perfect snack to accompany a James Bond film viewing...buttered popcorn and an ice cold Coke OR a cold beer and bar food munchies like pretzels, peanuts, chips etc?

Now I'm craving buttered popcorn can't wait to get some at the theater when I see SF.

Which Brosnan film had the better pre title sequence; Tomorrow Never Dies OR The World Is Not Enough?

Has to be 'The World Is Not Enough' - great use of MI6 and the Thames, and rousing music!


Which Q-Branch gadget would you like to see Bond use in the field...

The bolas, as seen in 'Moonraker'

OR

The wheelchair rocket cast, as seen in 'GoldenEye'

Ooh..I'd love to see Bond in disguise as an invalid in the wheel chair...then just as something bad is about to happen, BOOM!! He shoots the rocket out of the leg cast and jumps into action!

Now that Skyfall is the first Bond flick to be released in IMAX format, should the producers take future Bond films to the next level and release one in 3-D?? (My personal thought would be NO!! I think 3-D is vastly overrated myself)..

No way. I think they need to just stick with IMAX.

For anyone who has seen skyfall, do you actually believe James Bond is bisexual? I have heard rumors of this and I wanted to see what someone else thought

Bisexual or Straight?

If you had to pick one reason why 'Skyfall' is destroying the box-office, would you say it's...


The cast and crew

OR

The brave new story

The cast and crews; I'm imagine some people are going just to see Javier Bardem's character and performance and he is introducing the series to people who wouldn't normally see a Bond film.

Who would win in a fight; Jaws OR Oddjob?

Maybe Oddjob cause he can kill from long distances, jaws can't but it depends how hard Jaws' neck is?

Talulah Riley

I can only go on looks...so I'll say Talulah Riley. Very nice.


If Sean Connery appeared in 'Skyfall' in a cameo role, as Sam Mendes discussed, do you think it would..

WIN APPROVAL - A nice, warm touch to James Bond's 50th anniversary and the new Bond film and a big reward to fans and critics.

OR

GAIN NEGATIVITY - A tacky gimmick that shouldn't, and thank goodness, never did happen as it would break the impact of a new, serious Bond.

Have to say WIN APPROVAL..

How many times is TOO much for viewing Skyfall in the theater, if you want to save freshness for when the DVD comes out... 3 times OR more than 3 times?

Probably 3 or more, as I've got 3 viewings now and don't want to exhaust everything.


Is the character of Silva gaining acclaim because of...

Javier Bardem's acting with menace and humour

OR

The traits that Silva is almost a 'classic' Bond villain with his motives, defects etc

For Bond 24, they want to homage one aspect of the 4th movie, Thunderball?

The death of the henchwoman (Fiona Volpe's death)

or

A villain with an eyepatch (Emilio Largo)

Death of henchwoman, I think the eye patch is kind of lame now..

I think the drowned in the pool will be good - Silva already did his little homage to 'TMWTGG'....

Javier Bardem's performance in Skyfall....worthing of just being nominated for an Oscar OR Hell, just send him the Oscar right now!!

Worthy to be nominated but it would be awesome if he did win another Oscar.

After seeing Skyfall do you think; Mendes is the end all and be all of 007 directing and must return OR think he was great however don't feel the need for him to return?

The be all and end all for recent years - he's proved he understands and cares for the entire series, and has a fantastic cast and crew he knows how to direct so one could only hope we get him back for another Bond adventure!


With regards to the running time of 'Skyfall', do you feel...

2hrs 24mins is too long for Bond. It didn't drag but felt almost too epic, too stand alone to actually have another one follow! The next films should be shorter.

OR

2hrs 24mins is perfect - full of great character development and story, crammed to the hilt and taking its time. The next films should be the same.

The next film should be shorter although I'm only saying that because I think it will be, since it was the 50th anniversary the producers pulled out all the stops.

Do you think Bond 24 should have the gun barrel at the start OR keep it at the end as they have been?

At the start - no question. Don't get me started on this!


Do you think that now 'Skyfall' is out in the world, that the rest of the year celebrating all things 50th Anniversary...

Will continue on a high to end the big Anniversary year

OR

Fizzle out when 'Skyfall' starts to leave cinemas

Well, it all seems as if SKYFALL will play nicely until the end of the year, breaking records all over the world. What better way could there be to close the anniversary year?

Besides, next march SKYFALL will dominate once again the home video market...

Who is the most iconic Bond girl in your eyes...

Honey Ryder, for her entrance and the "1st Bond Girl" label given to her, in 'Dr.No'

OR

Pussy Galore, for her name and fiesty personality, in 'Goldfinger'

The laser watch, for sure! So handy in many situations, and it looks great.

Alec Trevelyan in 'GoldenEye'

or

Tiago Rodreiguez in 'Skyfall'

Tiago Rodreiguez because his only plan was revenge and I think that gave him the edge on Bond, rather then Trevelyan who was more concerned about blowing up Great Britain IMO.

Would you rather be flying in a plane with Pussy Galore

OR

Sailing with Goodnight on Scaramanga's yacht?
