MORE than met my expectations...

 

Now that we've see Skyfall, are you....gonna take a break from all things Bond for a while OR Hell no, continue to ride the Bond 50th wave for a while longer?

[S K Y F A L L]

Continue the ride longer, there are still books I want and that are coming out.

 

 

Will you be getting the Skyfall DVD OR Blu Ray? 

[thecasinoroyale]

Can I pick both? I have to say firstly it will be DVD....and THEN Blu-Ray to add to the Bond50 set.

 

 

Regarding the 'Skyfall' DVD/Blu-Ray - do you hope to see an exclsive cover along the way?

 

YES - An exclusive character-style cover or alternate poster will be brilliant for an extra price

 

OR

 

NO - Stick with a simple poster design, for a fair price, to fit with the collection

 

??

[The Dove]

NO- Stick with a simple poster design..

 

 

Suppose you could invite only one of the Bond actors to your next birthday bash and they accepted..who would you invite? Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan OR Daniel Craig?

[Iceskater101]

Timothy Dalton! I have a huge crush on him, that might be a little awkward though..

 

If you could meet any of the Bond villains (actors) which one would it be? This isn't really a this or that, but it's an opinion.

[thecasinoroyale]

Tough one! Have to be my favourite villain... Christopher Walken, to see behind his amazing personna and thought process.

 

 

If you could invite one Bond girl over for Christmas dinner and a party that evening with friends, who would you pick?

 

Famke Jansenn (Xenia Onatopp in 'GoldenEye')

 

OR

 

Teri Hatcher (Paris Carver in 'Tomorrow Never Dies')

 

??

[S K Y F A L L]

Famke Jansenn (Xenia Onatopp in 'GoldenEye'), she's also in the XMen films so.  

 

 

Which gun barrel do you like most;

 

The Blu Ray Bond 50 Box Set Trailer gun barrel

 

OR

 

The Everything Or Nothing: The Untold Story of James Bond documentary gun barrel.

[thecasinoroyale]

Has to be the 'Everything Or Nothing' gunbarrel - took me by surprise but was so well done.

 

 

Have you ever felt sorry for a Bond villain during any of the films, even at their death?

 

YES - Some of them are more human than others, and actually I feel they didn't deserve their fate

 

OR

 

NO - All evil, all bad and all deserve to die!

 

??

[S K Y F A L L]

Tough one, never thought of it before but I guess I would choose All Evil because I don't think I ever had remorse for any of the villains. 

 

Goldeneye

 

OR 

 

Skyfall

 

?

[The Dove]

Skyfall

 

Say you are Christmas shopping for a gift for James Bond...what would be more appropriate? A new martini shaker OR some polish for his father's hunting rifle?

[S K Y F A L L]

Martini shaker.

 

 

Battle of the theme songs; YOLT or TMWTGG?

[thecasinoroyale]

'You Only Live Twice' - a nice song.

 

 

Another Bond song battle..

 

'Thunderball' - T.Jones

 

OR

 

'From Russia With Love' - M. Monro

 

??

[S K Y F A L L]

FRWL

 

Battle of the theme songs;

 

Nobody Does It Better performed by Carly Simon in TSWLM

 

OR

 

All Time High performed by Rita Coolidge in OP

 

?

[seawolfnyy]

Nobody Does It Better, a timeless classic.

 

 

Video game battle:

 

Which is worse

 

Tomorrow Never Dies

 

or

 

007 Legends

[thecasinoroyale]

'Tomorrow Never Dies', but only by an inch and that was 15 years ago!

 

 

Who would make a decent future Bond villain -

 

 

Ewan McGregor as Max Zorin's nephew, Karl Zorin

 

OR

 

Tom Hanks as Hugo Drax's brother, Oliver Drax

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Tom Hanks, easy. Although Ewan McGregor is one of the few  actors from the SW prequels who was actually not bad.

 

 

Which would be more shocking?

 

Bond coming out of the closet

 

OR

 

Bond admitting having an affair with Judi Dench's M

 

?

[The Dove]

Bond admitting to having an affair with Dench's M...*shudder*

 

Daniel Kleinman's Skyfall title sequence...your favorite part.. 

 

The black and white part with the rotating PPKs and then the skull morphing into the gravestones OR The nice blue-green part where we pan into Bond's bleeding wound and then getting the image of Skyfall lodge in blood red?

[S K Y F A L L]

The black and white part with the rotating PPKs and then the skull morphing into the gravestones.

 

Battle of the theme songs #3;

 

You Only Live Twice OR For Your Eyes Only?  

[seawolfnyy]

You Only Live Twice. I like For Your Eyes Only and Sheena Easton is gorgeous in the main titles, but You Only Live Twice fits the film better and is slightly more exotic.

 

video game battle 2:

 

better vehicular level:

Chasing Jaws on Motorcycle on the Lake Pontchartrain bridge in Everything or Nothing

 

OR

 

Riding the tank through St. Petersburg in Goldeneye 1997

 

?

[S K Y F A L L]

I would have picked YOLT as well and I'd have to go with the GE64 tank battle in 'Streets.'

 

Battle of the title songs #4;

 

Tomorrow Never Dies OR The Word Is Not Enough? 

[seawolfnyy]

I like the tank battle, but I prefer the motorcycle chase. I think it is far and away the best chase in any of the Bond games.

When I posted this, I forgot to answer the question (slaps forehand).

The World Is Not Enough, easily the best main title song of the Brozza era. Too bad Surrender wasn't the main song....

 

Better final scene: (A triple this or that)

Casino Royale: Bond saying "Bond, James Bond" and the Bond theme cues at the start of the credits

 

OR

 

On Her Majesty's Secret Service: Tracy is shot and Bond cradles her in his arms while the Bond theme plays

 

OR

 

Skyfall: Bond walks into M's new office, revealing Gareth Mallory as the new M, and is asked if he is ready to get back to work while the Bond theme plays

 

?

Edited by seawolfnyy, 09 December 2012 - 09:33 PM.

[The Dove]

Have to say the Casino Royale : "Bond, James Bond"  finale..though I really love the ending of Skyfall too..

 

Judi Dench's best performance as "M"....in Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, Die Another Day, Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace OR Skyfall?

[seawolfnyy]

Gotta go with Casino Royale: "In the good old days if an agent did something this stupid he'd have the good sense to defect. Christ I miss the Cold War."

 

First to 1 billion:

 

Skyfall to $1 billion

 

OR

 

Gangnam Style to 1 billion views

 

?

[thecasinoroyale]

'Skyfall' to $1 billion, of course. Doing it 'Bond' style.

 

 

Which Bond girl's death was most shocking for you to see on-screen...

 

Tracy in 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'

 

OR

 

Vesper in 'Casino Royale'

 

??

[Iceskater101]

Vesper!

 

TLD falls apart in the second act?

 

Yes, the fight scene with Bond and Whitaker was boring or No the fight scene in Afganistan was awesome.

[The Dove]

Have to go with Yes the fight scene with Bond and Whitaker was kind of anti-climatic after such a big battle in Afghanistan.

 

Daniel Craig's Bond makes a return to a former Bond location..should it be Piz Gloria OR Severnaya ?

[seawolfnyy]

Piz Gloria. I would love to see a modern version of On Her Majesty's Secret Service with Craig's Bond. Also, technically Daniel Craig's Bond did go to Severnaya if we count Goldeneye: Reloaded.

 

Worse special effects:

The Ice Wave in DAD

 

OR

 

The laser gun fight in space in MR

 

??

[S K Y F A L L]

The Ice Wave in DAD. I actually was impressed by the special effects in MR. 

 

 

Battle of the title songs #5,

 

Die Another Day OR Another Way To Die? 

[seawolfnyy]

Damn, that's a tough one. I'd probably say Die Another Day, but just by a thread....haha see what I did there?

 

 

Better looking cards:

the backs of the Casino Royale cards

 

OR

 

the backs of Solitaire's cards in Live and Let Die

 

?

[thecasinoroyale]

The backs of the Casino Royale cards. Less clutter.

 

 

Which James Bond film was more 'real' to you, as in set within the current events of what was happening in the world at that time and almost COULD have actually happened...

 

'The Living Daylights'

 

OR

 

'Licence To Kill'

 

??
