Hmm, interesting. Probably the characters. After Skyfall, it sure seems that they are putting far more effort into character development. A villain on the level of Silva would be incredible.

 

 

Would you rather have Bonds 24 and 25:

 

Be connected and end the Quantum story and complete the story arc for the DC era

OR

be unrelated stories without Quantum and that the overarching story is already completed

?

[thecasinoroyale]

If those involved with 'Skyfall' carry on with Bond 24 than I'll glady have it be connected to Quantum and end the story arc for Craig's Bond.

 

 

If Quantum return in Bond 24, should they...

 

Be a group almost identical to SPECTRE, with a room full of high ranking members and a hidden leader (not copying Blofeld though)

 

OR

 

Be an almost underground resistance, a splinter cell, operating in the shadows and never seeing the full organisation together

 

??

[The Dove]

Hmmm...I'd say be an underground operation, with little to no contact with other members..so much more intrigue!

The 007 who best delivered the cheesy puns and one-liners...Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan OR Craig?

[thecasinoroyale]

It has to be Roger Moore for me. The others all do so well with their one-liners, but Moore just has so much...more cheese and humour in his lines, and they come so thick and fast it's crazy!

 

 

Who is more over-rated as James Bond...

 

Sean Connery for being "the original"

 

OR

 

Daniel Craig for being "the human"

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Connery for being the "original." Just watch DAF and you can see how much he no longer cared.

 

 

Bigger ditz:

 

Britt Ekland as Mary Goodnight

OR

Tanya Roberts as Stacey Sutton

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Britt Ekland as Mary Goodnight for me - probably my least favourite Bond girl. Annoying voice, annoying actions and just a waste of space.

 

 

Which "3rd Bond film" is the best?

 

1964's 'Goldfinger'

 

or

 

2012's 'Skyfall'

 

??

[The Dove]

2012's Skyfall..

 

 

Which Bond stunt would you, yourself, try if you managed to work up the courage....The fight on top of the crane stunt from Casino Royale OR the ski-jump-parachute stunt from The Spy Who Loved Me?

[seawolfnyy]

The ski-jump parachute stunt from The Spy Who Loved Me.

 

 

Better news:

 

Activision losing the Bond license

OR

P&W not writing Bond 24/25

?

[S K Y F A L L]

P&W although its hard to tell what specifically was their ideas and all but I feel like its a fresh start to a new era without their involvement, besides I haven't been a fan of the games for a while. 

 

Which scene featuring Bond in his Commander uniform did you like the must;

 

Roger Moore in TSWLM showing off the newly discover submarine map

 

OR

 

Pierce Brosnan in TND showing off the newly acquired satellite GPS decoder device? 

[The Dove]

Have to say Roger Moore rocked the Naval Commander uniform the best in The Spy Who Loved Me..

 

 

Which Craig Bond lady would you most like to accompany on a dinner / dancing date...Vesper Lynd, Camille Montes OR Severine ?

[seawolfnyy]

Just take a look at my profile pic. That'll give you the answer .

 

 

If one were to be chosen to write the next Bond novel (after Boyd) would you rather it be:

Tom Clancy

OR

Clive Cussler

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hmm, I'd go for Clive Cussler, lesser known than Clancy in the book world so would have a head-start.

 

 

If James Bond was an American creation, and so played in 'Dr.No' by English born, yet American raised Cary Grant, who would you want to play him from 2006's 'Casino Royale'?

 

Jeremy Renner

 

OR

 

Robert Downey Jr

 

??

[Iceskater101]

JEREMY RENNER. Omg if he was James Bond, I would be so happy. though Robert Downy Jr. is pretty hot too..

 

If the next Bond movie was going to cast a very famous actress as a Bond girl, who would you want them to cast?

 

Scarlett Johanson or Eva Mendes.

[thecasinoroyale]

Scarlett Johanson - could be a new Bond beauty with brains!

 

 

Regarding 'Skyfall' not getting a Best Picture Academy Award nomination, do you think...

 

OUTRAGE! 'Skyfall' was one of the most technically creative, exciting, power and well casted films of the year and deserved an honest nomination for such a brilliant, ciritically and globally approved film.

 

OR

 

SATISFIED! 'Skyfall' may well be the greatest Bond film and took the world by storm, but it's just not up there enough with the others for a nomination of such magnitude.

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

OUTRAGE! Life of Pi, Silver Linings Playbook and Django Unchained all got nominated and on top of that only 9 films were nominated out a possible 10! Skyfall rightly deserves a nomination for everything: cast, director, score, story, editing etc. It grossed over $1 billion it should have been nominated. Although maybe equally as strange, The Avengers grossed $1.5 billion and wasn't nominated either so....

 

 

 

If an American were to end up being cast as 007 in 2017 following Daniel Craig's exit:

Chris Pine

OR

Leonardo DiCaprio

?

[S K Y F A L L]

Chris Pine has Star Trek and Jack Ryan so for that reason I would rule him out and have to go with Leo although I have a hard time picturing either of them. 

 

Which of these two actors once rumored for the role of 007 would you like most; Ewan McGregor OR Clive Owen?

[seawolfnyy]

Clive Owen, he fits the image of 007 better.

 

 

 

What are looking forward to more in 2013:

 

Title of Bond 24

OR

who picks up the Bond game license

?

[The Dove]

Definitely looking more forward to the title of Bond 24...

 

Mix up of Bond sets with different Bond production designers...Ken Adam designs the Piz Gloria in OHMSS, Syd Cain designs the Fort Knox set in Goldfinger OR Peter Lamont designs the Perla de Las Dunas set in QOS?

Edited by The Dove, 11 January 2013 - 03:13 AM.

[seawolfnyy]

I guess I would like to see Peter Lamont's version of Perla de las Dunas more. The other sets are iconic while that one was pretty bland.

 

 

If Skyfall had been released in 1971 in lieu of Diamonds Are Forever, who would've given the best performance as Bond:

Connery

OR

Lazenby

OR

Moore

?

[thecasinoroyale]

I reckon Moore would have pulled it off. Connery would just have been doing it out of routine, Lazenby wouldn't have got a good feel for the character, but Moore I think, from seeing him in 'Live And Let Die', would convey the best performance for the script with varied emotions.

 

 

What do you think lets down the James Bond series, if you had to pick...

 

The problems in maintaing a good run of films for an actor in the role before they turn bad

 

OR

 

Coming up with decent stories and plots

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Coming up with decent stories and plots. I think that directly relates to not being to sustain success with the same actor. I think EON falls into the trap of always trying to outdo the previous film instead of letting the film stand on its own.

 

 

 

More overrated Bond theme song:

Live and Let Die

OR

Goldfinger

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Goldfinger - I know it was the "first" but it's not THAT good, it's alright...but there are better.

 

 

What food product would you like to be endorsed by James Bond himself in a future film:

 

Bar snacks (nuts, pretzels etc) seen snacking on during a casino scene

 

OR

 

Hamburgers and fries, seen whilst on surveillance during a mission

 

??

[Hockey Mask]

Bar snacks.    Nothing like endorsing a handful of Chex-Mix but I just can't picture Bond even holding a burger.

 

Which would you rather see?  Craig playing Bond 100 pounds overweight or 50 pounds underweight?

Edited by 00Hockey Mask, 11 January 2013 - 02:59 PM.

[seawolfnyy]

That's a scary thought either way, but I'll go with 50 lbs underweight solely because we don't need Doughnut Bond.

 

 

 

Better scene of Bond conning the villain:

Bond cheating Goldfinger at Golf with the wrong golf ball

OR

Bond swindling Dimitrios out of his Aston Martin at poker

?

[The Dove]

Bond cheating Goldfinger at his own game... the poker game in Casino Royale was just a matter of luck that Bond had the two aces..

 

The more "blahh' title sequence... The Man With The Golden Gun OR From Russia With Love??

[seawolfnyy]

Probably FRWL. I think the title sequence of TMWTGG is one of the few positives of the film.

 

 

 

Worst special effects:

Moonraker laser battle in space

OR

Diamonds Are Forever satellite laser

?

[S K Y F A L L]

I'd have to go with DAF, whenever the satellite had to fire a laser it had to stop in mid air and just looks kind of funny to me. 

 

Which character do you look forward to seeing again the most.; Q or Moneypenny? 

[seawolfnyy]

Q. Always enjoyed the Q scenes.

 

 

 

Better score:

 

Casino Royale

OR

Skyfall

?

[The Dove]

I'd say Skyfall..definitely's got more variety in terms of each scene and the mood.

 

 

Cooler "drive-from-the airport" scene in terms of ambience...Bond following Dimitros in Miami in Casino Royale OR Bond following Patrice in Shanghai in Skyfall?

[S K Y F A L L]

Tough one but I would have to give the edge to the scenes in Skyfall, although the Casino Royale scene maybe more realistic. 

 

The Little Nellie scenes in YOLT

 

OR 

 

The pre title sequence of OP

 

?
