It's women's lib, they're taking over the Teamsters! So I go with a woman - why not. She could be a real nasty piece of work.

 

 

Where do you stand on the DVD/Blu Ray debate leading to 'Skyfall' this month..

 

DVD - Basic enjoyable features but a good, crisp copy of the film is all I need!

 

OR

 

Blu Ray - More bonus features and all that sharp little detail to the film is what I want!

"One thing you should know about me, amigo: the film is more...important to me than the extras."

 

Which exposition was better:

Zorin's backstory, - "speaks at least five languages with no accent" - followed by Walken speaking only American English

or

Enter Necros, speaking English with at least five accents - plus German like a native - with no backstory

?

How about Bond saying he took a first in oriental language at Cambridge and then being unable to read the Chinese keyboard?

But for yours, I'll go with Necros, just because there was never a need for Zorin to speak any other languages.

 

 

More useless scene:

Bond making Quiche for Stacey

OR

Bond telling Zukovsky to "bury the top 3 cards"

?

Bond telling Zukovsky to "bury the top 3 cards" - I don't get that if it was a setup for the pay-off, they must have known Bond would get them to lose the top 3 - it makes no sense to me. At least the quiche was set up to discuss the plot!

 

 

What made you roll your eyes more -

 

All of Roger Moore's puns and quips

 

OR

 

All of Pierce Brosnan's action-hero over acting

Pierce's over acting. I can't stand his eye-twitching.

 

(also, you misspelled adaptation in your sig, casinoroyale)

 

Which film is more of a mess:

Diamonds are Forever

OR

The Man with the Golden Gun

'The Man with the Golden Gun' - it just seems it's trying to be something it's not, and it's a little iffy...

 

(thanks for the tip, seawolf - touch typing not always accurate! :)  )

 

 

 

Which sniper rifle moment was the best...

 

 

Bond and Kerim in 'From Russia With Love' taking out Krilencu

 

OR

 

Bond and Saunders in 'The Living Daylights' protecting Koskov

As much as I like the scene with Bond and Kerim, I'll go with Bond and Saunders in TLD. It is a perfect cold war espionage thriller.

 

 

Which billion dollar film will have a better legacy:

Skyfall

OR

Titanic

I have to say 'Skyfall' - come on, the Billion Dollar Bond and the big 50th anniversary! :)

 

 

Do you like the name James Bond for our hero?

 

YES - Why, I can't think of any name he could be!

 

OR

 

NO - It's what we've grown with, but he could have a better name...

Yeah! It just sounds really charming when he says, Bond, James Bond.

 

Which of Connery's movies is less bad

 

Diamonds are Forever

 

or
 

Never Say Never Again

Diamonds are Forever. It's a fun film, even if it is a complete and utter mess.

Take your pick.

 

Second only to the Aston Martin DB5:

 

The submersible Lotus Esprit

or

The 'winterized' Aston Martin Volante?

The Esprit.

 

If 007 Legends still had DLC being made for it, would you like to see:

LTK

OR

Dr No

as new DLC?

The underground bunker in Skyfall. The Scottish castle doesn't really make sense.

 

 

Higher final gross:

Skyfall

OR

The Hobbit

?

Gerard Butler. Bruce doesn't fit the bill for a Bond film.

 

 

 

Should a potential ally for Bond in the next film be:

Felix

OR

A different character

?

Oh, tough one.  I'll go with Adele since we've seen a lot of Shirley doing Goldfinger live.  Though I'm more interested in all six actors together.

 

Pierce Brosnan in The Living Daylights

 

OR

 

Timothy Dalton in GoldenEye

 

?

Moore in DAF. Like LALD, it was a Moore film.

 

Dalton in AVTAK or Brosnan in CR?

Dalton in AVTAK. This would've been great, Brosnan in CR would never have worked.

Have to go with Lazenby in You Only Live Twice...(even Daniel Craig couldn't have saved Die Another Day from Lee Tamahori's awful direction, the CGI Iceberg surfing, the cheesy dialogue, the character of Jinx etc..)

 

Expectations for Bond 24...No way will it be as good as Skyfall is OR I totally expect something on the same level as Skyfall?

It saddens me, but it will not be as good as Skyfall. I fully expect a good, solid entry, but not one on the level of Skyfall.

Underrated. It's not the best, but it's not the worst and it smells of ultra-modern, techno-orchestral Bond passion, blending almost two genres into one and fits the theme of 'Quantum Of Solace' rather well.

 

 

Best Moore-era quip to use in a Sean Connery Bond film...

 

"Just keeping the British end up, sir."

 

OR

 

"There's never a cab when you want one."

"Just keeping the British end up, sir."

Has GoldenEye 64 aged well?

 

YES - Despite the graphics (that were good for the time) it still is a fun game to play

 

or

 

NO - The graphics and the controls system make it unplayable.

Yes, of course! Classic graphics, fun gameplay and simple to get into straight away. Legendary.

 

 

Best Bond debut...

 

Roger Moore's 'Live And Let Die'

 

OR

 

Timothy Dalton's 'The Living Daylights'
