Have you ever seen Flash Gordon or Highlander?

 

I'll take KISS, but only if Gene Simmons had played Max Zorin (have you ever seen Runaway?).

 

Anthony Hopkins as

 

Alec Trevelyan

or

Elliot Harmsway (Carver)

?

Hopkins would be better as Elliot Carver (who the hell is Elliot Harmsway??)

 

Bond actress role switch... Naomie Harris as Agent Fields in Quantum of Solace OR Gemma Arterton as Eve Moneypenny in Skyfall?

That's a good one! I could totally see Gemma as Moneypenny.

 

CraigBond in Vegas or Rio?

Rio, Vegas would be fun, but too much like the Montenegro sequence in CR.

 

 

 

Still more Bond twitter:

@007: "How many times do I have to tell you!? I DON'T JOKE ABOUT MY WORK!!!!!11!!1!11!!!"

OR

"How's this for stupid? I told my boss to just shoot the intruder, but instead he keeps him as prisoner and now he's gone. SMH"

If you had the chance to meet and greet a James Bond actor, would you choose:

 

Christopher 'Max Zorin' Walken

 

OR

 

Timothy 'James Bond' Dalton

 

??

I'd probably have to go with Timothy Dalton.

 

 

Bond 24 should set a recorded for longest car chase OR longest ski chase?

Longest ski chase - we've had great car chases in Craig's universe so let's have some integral ski action!

 

 

Does the James Bond franchise make actors in them...

 

Cursed

 

OR

 

Blessed

I'd have to go with blessed..Both Gemma Arterton and Rosamund Pike seemed to have done pretty well in their post-Bond film careers.

 

 

Bets for the director for Bond 24...will he be British OR some other nationality?

I have a feeling that the director for B24 will be British.

LALD

OR

DAD?

DAD.  The CGI fire and ice thing and Madonna's song is a little weird. 

 

More 80's could have been Bond title singers (female version):

 

Sade OR Kim Wilde ?

After listening to a song of each of theirs I would have to say Kim Wilde 's You Keep Me Hangin' On was inspiring I choose her, 

 

90's could have been title singers;

 

 

Britney Spears OR Aerosmith?

I would rather have my best friend change the timers to 3 minutes than have either of those, but I guess Aerosmith if I had to pick one.

 

 

Would you rather see Bond:

Have to sink a clutch putt

OR

Stop a penalty kick

?

Let's just go with ThunderMoon...

 

 

Dianne Warwick's "final" version OR Shirley Bassey's "unused" version of Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang from the Thunderball soundtrack??

Dianne Warwick's final version. Bassey's version just seems to be lazy.

Bond 24 song should:

Include the title of the movie in the lyrics

OR

 

Have original lyrics like You Know My Name  and the others.

Original lyrics with title in verse like "Nobody does it better" from The Spy Who Loved Me.  "All Time High" and "Another Way to Die" are also good titles (though not always the song.)

 

tcr, I'll take the exploding bunny rabbit.  Seems more up 007's ally!

 

Roger Moore in Diamonds Are Forever

 

OR

 

Pierce Brosnan in The Living Daylights

Pierce was supposed to be in The Living Daylights, so I'll go with that.

 

If Moore had been in DAF the complaints about continuity and Tracy revenge would be even worse than they already are.

 

Javier Bardem as Scaramanga

or

Christopher Lee as Silva

?

I have to go with Javier Bardem as Scaramanga - I find him a more interesting actor to play a Bond villain. Lee is good, but a little too "ordinary" for my liking. All in all, he's just a good marksman with nimble fingers and a 3rd nipple. Nothing really interesting about him.

 

 

Which Bond girl would you have liked to have more screentime and involvement -

 

Tilly Masterson in 'Goldfinger'

 

OR

 

Corrine Dufour in 'Moonraker'

 

??

Guitarist but not a lead guitarist a rhythm guitarist. 

 

Would you rather have a Bond film every 2 years, yet there are shorter like QOS

 

OR

 

wait the extra year (so 3 years) and have the grander scale films like CR and SF

 

OR

 

have a few films out every 2 years and have the grander scale films only for special anniversaries and occasions?

I don't think anyone wants an appt. with Dr. Finger, but FRWP sounds like a mail order bride service. So I guess I'll take that.

Austin powers in

Goldenballs OR Four Eyes Only?

'Four Eyes Only' is actually quite good, very witty.

 

 

Will Sam Mendes return to the Bond family?

 

YES - He will be tempted back like they all are, just give it time and one more film

 

OR

 

NO - He has made a huge impact on the series but will leave it at just that

Damn - you got in there while I was composing.

 

I was going to say Barbara Broccoli has already declared that come hell or high water, Sam Mendes will return (to direct 'Never Take No For an Answer,' which will also feature Judi Dench, Toby Stephens, Jesper Christiansen and Idris Elba as the first black 007).

 

Please don't anyone take that report seriously.

 

I'd have to go with Dr. Yes, as Silverfinger's reputation is already tarnished...

 

Would you rather have:

 

Sam Mendes return, only to prove that he couldn't beat or even match his work on Skyfall

or

Martin Campbell reluctantly return, only to outdo his work from Casino Royale

?

I'd be fine with Martin Campbell doing Bond 24 before he retires and then Mendes coming back for Bond 25 or if Craig does more then 5 films then perhaps his last one or even the first Bond 7.

 

Would you rather the director of Bond 24 to be; an Academy Award winner OR someone who has directed a financially successful film?

Going with an Academy Award winning director. Maybe a Bond movie will win Best Picture... or even an Oscar, you can never tell... *lame song reference ahoy* (Act Naturally by Beatles, if you're interested.)

 

Which director do you think should avoid the Bond series at all costs the most:

Peter Jackson

OR

Stephen Spielberg?
