I think they'll reappear. Maybe they'll even take over writing the games from Feirstein (honestly anyone would be better than Feirstein).

 

 

For the Bond 24 title song:

 

Adele again OR someone else?

Someone else, Adele is still so young.

 

Which films car chase do you like the most; Diamonds Are Forever OR The Man With The Golden Gun?

Diamonds are Forever. I don't particularly like either, but DAF doesn't have JW Pepper.

 

 

 

Bond girl battle:

 

Barbara Bach OR Izabella Scorupco?

Barbara Bach - looks great and puts up a good, strong character.

 

 

Which actress was wasted in her role...

 

Olga Kurylenko as Camille in 'Quantum Of Solace'

 

OR

 

Berenice Lim Marlohe as Severine in 'Skyfall'

 

??

You're gonna hate me casinoroyale, but definitely Bérénice Lim Marlohe. She's great in her scenes, but Sévérine's total screen time is roughly 5-10 minutes. Olga's on the other hand was far more substantial and Camille was more integral to the plot. Sévérine was almost a throwaway.

 

 

Worse actor for a Bond villain:

 

Robert Carlyle OR Mathieu Almaric?

Nope, I agree seawolf - she should have been used better as she was superb...obviously!

 

 

I have to go with Robert Carlyle. Just a strange, weedy little man who I found so boring and not even sinister when he tried. At least Almaric wasn't trying to be something he wasn't, and he was just a slimy, dangerous man and that's what we say and believed.

 

Better Moore Bond villain death...

 

Karl Stromberg shot 4 times in cold-blood by 007 in 'The Spy Who Loved Me'

 

OR

 

Emile Loque kicked off a cliff in his car by 007 in 'For Your Eyes Only'

 

??

I also can't stand how Renard only ever talks in metaphors. In sounds so phony and unreal. Anyway getting back to the game....

 

That's a tough one. They are easily the two best deaths of the Moore era, but I'll have to give the nod to Stromberg's death. When in doubt, always go with The Spy Who Loved Me.

 

 

More whiny Bond girl:

 

Mary Goodnight OR Pam Bouvier?

Ugh, has to be Mary Goodnight. She just whines for the hell of it. At least Pam actually makes a decent point, and gives her whining some balls, rather than just white noise.

 

 

Who would you like to see in a Bond film as an ally of 007's in America...

 

Ted Danson as a retired CIA agent

 

OR

 

Tom Selleck as a disgraced FBI operative

 

??

Ted Danson as a retired CIA agent. Don't think I could ever take Tom Selleck's moustache seriously in a Bond movie. Sorry, I mean I don't think I could ever take Tom Selleck seriously in a Bond movie.

 

 

If a theme park were to create a ride based on a 007 stunt, would you rather it be:

 

the barrel roll from TMWTGG OR the ejector seat from GF?

Personally, I hate amusement parks and rollercoasters. I am going to go with the barrel role just because I feel like that would be less scary than the ejector seat..

 

What's next for the James Bond franchise?

 

Building an amusement park or creating an online website with all the books (like pottermore) ?

An amusement park hopefully. Harry Potter has one, so why not 007?

 

 

 

Did enjoy Maud Adams more as:

 

Miss Anders in TMWTGG OR Octopussy in OP?

Hmm. As Ian McKellan is a little too old for M now, I'd say Martin Freeman as Q. He'd be a good boffin type I think, he's proving himself a very good actor.

 

 

Which actor do you think should be in a Bond film by now, after 50 years of not being...

 

Patrick Stewart

 

OR

 

Gary Oldman

 

??

Austrailia or South Africa?

Has to be Australia - lots of promise for iconic locations and settings.

 

 

Which iconic landmark would you like to see a duel to the death on/around, a'la Max Zorin vs Bond on the Golden Gate Bridge...

 

Niagra Falls

 

OR

 

Stonehenge

Niagara Falls could be alright, they have some kind of light show I believe which could be visually appealing. 

 

The 90's; GE, TND, TWINE

 

OR 

 

2000's; DAD, CR, QOS

 

?

That's a tough one. Each only really has one truly great film. But I'll go with the 2000s for CR.

 

 

Should the finale of Bond 24 feature:

 

A massive battle with Bond's allies against the villains henchmen a la TB/YOLT OR Bond on his own against the villain a la GE/LTK?

Think it's time to have Bond and his allies in a massive battle with the villain and his henchmen ala TB/YOLT/TSWLM etc..

 

With Roger Moore being the last Bond to wear a white Tux in AVTAK, should Daniel Craig sport one in Bond 24? Yes OR No?

No, I just can't picture DC being able to pull off a white tux. I wouldn't mind him wearing the blue one from the Skyfall teasers though.

 

 

Since, the DB5 was destroyed in Skyfall, in future films do you think:

 

the DB5 has officially been retired OR the DB5 is too iconic and will continue to appear in films from time to time?

The DB5 has been retired...we've seen it blown sky high so I think Bond has lost his car. Shame.

 

Do you think for future Bond vehicles, we will get..

 

 

Ingenious and dangerous gadgets and weapons to use

 

OR

 

Nothing very dramatic, very minimal and more practical gadgets

Ingenious and dangerous gadgets and weapons. I think we introducing Q means the gadgets will slowly start making a return and by using the machine guns on the DB5, Mendes proved you could make a gritty, ultra-realistic film and still use them. The supercars will return.

 

 

In a bit of alternate history, Hugh Jackman becomes 007 in 2005 instead of Daniel Craig. Does he:

 

put the same effort into the films as Craig, i.e. getting an Oscar caliber director, contributing to rewrites, working effectively as a producer

 

OR

 

he shows up, films his scenes, collects his paycheck and we get a decent 50th anniversary film, but not one on the level of Skyfall?

Who has the better Bond pose...

 

Roger Moore

Timothy Dalton

Got to go with Roger's pose...Don't like the way Dalton is looking distracted in his pose..

 

 

Which do you prefer more...seeing a Bond film up on the big screen with an audience OR in the privacy and comfort of your home ??

Big screen with an audience, because it's cool to hear the audience react to the movie (like the Goldfinger car being revealed..)

 

Would you like to see a main woman villan?

Yes it would add a lot of character conflict to the Craig Bond or No men can pull of the villain role better than women?

I'm going to answer, yes, I would love to see another female main villain, but it doesn't matter. As long as the villain is good and strong and played by a great actor/actress, then it shouldn't matter if it's a man or a woman. But yes, I would like to Craig take on a female adversary.

 

 

 

Colder kill:

 

Connery shooting Professor Dent OR Moore kicking Locque and his car over the cliff?

I have to give Connery this one for shooting Dent. When Moore kicked Locque car off the cliff, I always felt the car was going anyway, and Bond just helped it over, he didn't actually initiate the fall. Still brutal to see Moore's Bond do that, very well done, but Connery just gets the edge with those two simple shots. Dead.

 

 

Best disposal of the Bond villain in 'Licence To Kill'...

 

007 setting Franz Sanchez on fire around gasoline

 

OR

 

007 pulling Dario into the cocaine grinder

 

??

Cocaine grinder. I feel like that's more unique.. and everytime I watch it, it makes me cringe...

 

Bond Villain Deaths should they be....

 

More unique like being grinded up in a cocaine grinder or should they be like Silva's death less unique but classic.

Less unique like Silva's knife-in-the-back but still can and should be done in a classic way.

 

 

Tom Hardy OR Benedict Cumberbatch to be the next Bond villain??

Benedict Cumberbatch. From what I've seen from the STID trailers, he looks to be a far more cerebral and scary villain than Bane was. I think he could be a very interesting adversary for our James.

 

 

 

Better use of drugs in the plot:

 

TLD- trading weapons for Opium

OR

LALD- distributing heroin on the streets on NYC for free to eliminate competition

?

Weapons for Opium to finance a small war IMO,  the latter is a little less believable.

 

What are you looking forward to the most about Bond 24: the action OR characters ?
