Classic Bond Forum

Being a child of the 90s as you say, your experiences with the franchise are mostly by reading about it and watching old movies. Many here LIVED the Bond experience LIVE decades before you were born. Being a proud American I can tell you people loved Connery as Bond and still consider him the #1 Bo...

Is anyone else reminded of a certain scene from TMWTGG regarding a useful four-letter word when they read a bjmdds post? The word "woke" has been hijacked by the world's hateful. I subscribe to journalist Charles M. Blow's interpretation of the word: "Be aware of and alert to how racism is systemic ...

Battle of the Bonds // Part 007 // Mission Report We’ve come quite a long way since starting this journey together, haven’t we? :cocktail: You’ve been so kind in allowing me to inundate you with my countless thoughts, opinions, and musings on this franchise, its actors, and its films. For that I th...

I'm glad you feel so avl, I am a little confused though, isn't Moore your favorite? Yes, Moore is my favorite Bond, but I view Craig as the best Bond, if that makes sense. Sort of a 1A/1B situation, I suppose. Moore was always my favorite growing up, and the Bond I have the biggest soft spot for. C...

Can we talk about Regé-Jean Page? I don't overly concern myself with odds making, but it does seem like smart money is gravitating towards the actor. I was surprised to see so many express their vehement displeasure with the idea in an 007EverythingOrNothing Instagram post reporting his consideratio...

UNENLIGHTENED viewpoints? Where? The horse's mouth Nah, we've had other pro-Craig people on the forum before. Some are genuinely disruptive, and ended up being kicked out, while others like yourself are capable of civilised debate. To be honest, things are not the same now as they were when this pl...

I misunderstood then, apologies for the assumption. Some of the, shall we say, unenlightened viewpoints here have me on high alert. You will find a range of views on this forum. The only thing that unites us is our dislike of Craig as Bond, and with you here, not even that. That’s certainly one way...

Johanna Harwood? Presumably she's the one who writes up the accounts of the mission. Surely your above stooping so low as to make a comment like that. I was referring to the fact that she is named after the co-writer of the first two Bond films. Presumably an Easter egg for fans. Sent from my SM-G9...

Ben Whishaw has admitted he thinks “some things were not great about” the decision to acknowledge Q’s sexuality in No Time to Die. In the Bond film, which was released in 2021, a scene sees Bond (Daniel Craig) and Eve Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) asking for Q’s help – but a flustered Q is unhappy as ...

The more we all get into discussions like this, the more I like this place. It's our mutual passion that brings out our distinct, personal experiences with that passion, and I think that's quite a beautiful thing. I'm here to stay. :cheers: I'm glad you feel that way. Contrary to what many say abou...

I miss The Rog dearly. I rank his films as follows: 1) Octopussy 2) The Spy Who Loved Me 3) Live And Let Die 4) For Your Eyes Only 5) Moonraker 6) A View To A Kill 7) The Man With The Golden Gun I miss Roger too, he was the Bond I grew up with. That's a pretty solid list, the only way it would diff...

I'm sorry if you felt personally offended, avl_bmb. My intention was never to "spew hate". It was just a light, innocent joke at your Bond in the same way you called my Bond a "ridiculous actor", a "milquetoast", bits of my favourite film's soundtrack "a shitty porn song". When those words are appl...

Casino Royale, The Living Daylights, and On Her Majesty's Secret Service are definitely the big three. With its carriage ride through the snow (Amore!), the seductive wining and dining of Countess Lisl von Schlaf, and the general sweetness of the Bond/Melina relationship, I think For Your Eyes Only ...

I've always lovingly referred to this guy as "The Tipsy Tourist." I did a bit of digging to see if Victor was still with us, and it looks like he sadly passed around seven or so years ago. If you check out the comment section of this video , a woman claiming to be Victor's daughter, Eleonora, makes ...

Let's take it easy on the old boy NS, he may have come here in good faith, we don't want to be like those other forums and pounce on any form of dissent. Exactly, that's the reason I allowed the post, while deleting a troll post yesterday that was just a drive-by "you all suck" message. I think the...

Although I don’t enjoy Brosnan’s Bond, his time as the character helped usher James Bond into a new modern world, paving the way for his successor to expand the character, deepen his mythos, and send the franchise to soaring new heights. His successor send himself to "soaring new heights", literall...

Hello Blake, I don't know if you're aware or not but this is the official forum for the "Deplorable Dummies" at danielcraigisnotbond and I guess that makes me, as the lead writer, the "Dimwitted Detractor" in chief . If you did realize this then I commend you on your chutzpa and long term troll. If...
