Classic Bond Forum

Getting back to the topic of daftest moments in the Craig era.., here's another one that irked me. In QoS after the maddeningly incoherent, and spastically-edited free-fall scene (actually filmed in the confines of a green-screened STUDIO SET for the all-important close-ups of Craig and Russian-chic...

I can dig that. The way I celebrated the anniversary was by watching each of the first 16 Bond movies every Saturday night starting last June, as those ones were Events that are meant to be treasured. Though I also included the unofficial ones for completism's sake, by preceding Dr. No with the B&W ...

It's probably true that audiences were less stupid then, since the 60s Bonds were actually good movies and therefore more deserving of being the massive world-beating hits they were.. And sometimes, when the Box Office is anemic like it was for The Man with the Golden Gun , it actually shows that th...

Because the movie-going public at large has always been very, very stupid.

Me neither. And as for this insistence on shifting the blame/credit towards Michael G. Wilson, what ALSO seems to be forgotten is that he worked FOR his stepfather Cubby Broccoli when he was co-writer/co-producer and facilitator, not "with" him as an actual equal like a Harry Saltzman. Which meant t...

Brosnan's Bonds (while I greatly enjoy them and I still do) explain Babs' laziness while DC's Bonds explain Babs arrogance and pretentiousness of seeing herself that she's better than anyone else. Saint 007, what's your take? Barbara couldn't handle her father's style of Bond all that well, and rea...

IMDB is the @!!!**!ing worst of the lot. Besides their empty-headed herd-mentality bull$#!+, they also tend to be apologist, delusional, inflexible phonies who'll latch onto ANY excuse to defend the lamest, inexcusable plot holes just to lord over the so-called "haters" with their self-important pos...

Pompous Poser.

At the beginning of Casino Royale, Craig's Bond pulverizes a scrawny guy in a washroom, who doesn't land a single hit on Craig as I recall, and shoots an old man sitting behind his desk. And that so-called "gritty" and "awesome" opening sequence was to show how macho man Craig Bond earned his doubl...

I guess sensing sarcasm isn't your strong suit. Unless it's spelled out ad infinitum like this:

Thank you very much. It's truly a pleasure to vent freely about grievances about this current run of so-called "James Bond" movies that seem to be trying too hard to convince the whole world that this Craig person is somehow the "Best Bond EVAH" because he's sooo "gritty", "hardcore" and (most laugh...

Roger Moore (1974). Pretty nifty, actually.

He even has that stoopid pout down pat. Throw in the caption of him mumbling: "I'm motivated by my duty" and it's there.

And while we're at it, the whole traditions of a white (oh, I'm sorry, "caucasian") Moneypenny and Felix Leiter as well as an old-man Q will continue to be ignored in favor the current producers' self-important, "enlightened", Politically Correct bull$#!+ peddling of these imposters Casio Royal/Quan...

Mumbling "I'm motivated by my duty" in Quantus of Solemn. God, how I hate THAT line, for being presented (and parroted by Craig-fanatics "elsewhere") as some kind of Bold Statement of Intent that must be worshiped instead of the whiny pouting of a pompous ass it actually is.

Pretentious Bore.
