Classic Bond Forum

I think James Puerfoy could've made a very good James Bond. And going over some of theses candidates, some of them may still be able to take over when Craig finishes with the role. When that happens however I'd be putting money on Cavill or Sam Worthington. Sadly, I agree. I think his chance has go...

I'm not familiar with Mr. Butler's work, but I'm going to see 300 this weekend, so I'll let you know what I think afterwards.

What the heck, everyone else is starting up threads for their favourite not-Bond, so I thought I'd do the same.

Has Bond ever driven a Bentley in the movies, like he did in the books? You haven't seen Never Say Never Again. :shock: Even From Russia With Love has a brief glimpse of a drophead Bentley but this is not the same car that Fleming wrote of. I've seen them all, but I'm not the sort of fan who can ra...

And another thing, why would anyone want a Craig avatar on this forum anyway? Doesn't it smack of deliberate provocation, like walking into a pub in Toxteth wearing a Man United top?

is it not unfair that people wishing to sport a Craig avatar be denied? Given the name and purpose of this site, I don't think it is. Look, every other sodding Bond forum on the net at the moment reads like a Daniel Craig fansite. Can't the rest of us, those whose opinion differs from the majority,...

Can't people have an opinion of their own? Apparently not. It seems that if you have an opinion that conflicts with the received wisdom (in this case, that Daniel Craig is the best Bond since Connery, and possibly even better), then even if you set up a site for fellow "heretics", the Craigish Inqu...

The name of this site is DanielCraigisnotBond.com - if Craig fans want to show their devotion to the man, there are plenty of other Bond forums where they can do it.

Yeah but they made that joke in CR didn't they. I thought M was just a title I didn't know your name began with M. It was actually "I didn't know it stood for..." before M cuts him off. Clever people like me who talk loudly in restaurants see this as deliberate ambiguity about whether the M of Casi...

How about Colin Salmon as M?

If Robinson got promoted, wouldn't that make him R? And might that not cause confusion with John Cleese's R?

He may have the looks and the charisma (similar to Brosnans Bond) but can he do a credible British accent?

He did in Flushed Away and that movie about the magician that I've forgotten the title of.

It may be nonsense, but how is it libellous?

Well, someone's using my requested avatar... Is there anyway we can avoid members using the same avatar? I'd prefer to use one that wasn't being used by someone else, but that is probably unavoidable. How about some pictures of the other contenders for the role, labelled "TEAM PUREFOY/BUTLER/OWEN e...

1. Connery
2. Dalton
3. Brosnan
4. Craig
5. Moore
6. Lazerbeam

If Moore had only made Live and Let Die, The Spy Who Loved Me and For Your Eyes Only, I might have been tempted to rank him higher, but with stinkers like Moonraker and Octopussy in his filmography...sorry, Rog.

Even adjusted for inflation, it still outgrossed half of Brosnan's films, both of Dalton's, Dr No , OHMSS and all but one of Moore's. Calm down. The topic was about CR's box-office take in the US . My point was that the Museum film has taken $241 million and counting whereas CR has taken $167 milli...

What LALD controversy? Wasn't Thunderball the biggest Bond film? Answering your second question first, note that I said the biggest Non-Connery Bond. If you look at a graph of worldwide admissions, such as this one , LALD stands out as being anomalously high. John Cork in his book The Legacy give t...

I thought that now this site was under new management, it may have moved away from Crazytown, but with this thread and the new front page message, it seems I was wrong. For Cliff's sake, is it not possible to say you didn't like Craig and CR without trying to pretend that it is some kind of flop? Ev...

What's a notch collar?

d**n, beat me to it.
