Classic Bond Forum

CR needed better editing. QoS was utterly forgettable. SF was okay entertainmentwise, but bogglingly stupid at the beginning--my wife is head of IT security for a major defense contractor. You NEVER plug a suspicious item into your network. I haven't seen any since.

I've been away a decade. Things happened. Searched for the site, found it, and found that, too. And yes, it's as shallow as I expected Mental Floss to be.

OHMSS had great fight scenes, but yeah, Lazenby didn't have the acting chops.

Have I really been gone for a decade? Apparently so. Checking things out again.

Yeah, complete BS it seems. Someone's idea of a "joke."

They have to be just fan rumors that Bruce Campbell might be considered to replace Craig.

I like Bruce. He's a good guy (met him several times). But he's 54 and very American. OTOH, he did a BRILLIANT job in Bubba Hotep.

Fantastic opener to the London Games. But I have to call BS on one scene--Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Daniel Craig as James Bond parachuting into the stadium?

Sorry. I don't believe for a second that Daniel Craig has what it takes to hit the canopy.

Gun companies advertise. I don't think any of them spam. I don't know what PSA is referenced.

I enjoy Bond, but Dirty Harry would have three magnums into him before he stopped posturing (movie Bond).

The Beretta 418 in .25 caliber, which I think was Bond's original gun. http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh119/mzmadmike/guns/Beretta2.jpg Nice and light...in a lady's handbag. I would have given him this Eibar in .22. I call it, "the Mexecutioner." http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh119/mzmadmik...

Risico became part of FYEO, IIRC

Moonraker was eh, movie or book.

What's this?

Well, Craig, IIRC, isn't "comfortable" with guns.

Yet another reason I should be Bond before I'm too old. "Now, pay attention, Q, because I'm only going to show you this once..."

Yeah, well Bond went from a .25 to a .32 to 9mm. Another 20 years and we'll finally get him into a man's gun. :lol: This is my third 9mm. My classic M1935 Browning got stolen. :cuss: The Beretta was not only bad, it was an unergonomic brick. This is much, much better, and can provide its own cover f...

Johnny English was awful. Atkinson used to be funny.

I just acquired a Steyr GB. Holds 18. Gas-retarded blowback. Cool looking. http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh119/mzmadmike/guns/Steyr.jpg The bad guys could have a melange of some classic autos http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh119/mzmadmike/guns/Pistols-2.jpg And someone needs an X7 http://i2...

I'd say draw. I'm not inclined to preference either of them.
