Classic Bond Forum

[Tell the story -CR- and move along -Give DC all of the traits and the setting to pull JB off. Concentrating on the rough -crude -unclassy Bond is boring. we got plenty of heroes like that already. If the masterplan is a story arc with 2 movies with JB rough around the edges and the 3rd becoming bo...

Do you think that was a deliberate in-joke? It might have been. In-jokes and meta references are a long-standing Bond tradition, after all, though given the current crew's attitude to long-standing Bond traditions, that makes it unlikely. Given the criticisms of Craigs appearance (which were much m...

James wrote:The Moonraker DVD is worth buying just for the footage of Harry H Corbett's 1978 screentest for the role of James Bond.

Please tell me that's a joke.

Captain Nash wrote:After a recent viewing I have to say.
Yes it was.
In the words of the comic book guy in The Simpsons.
"Worst Bond film ever!"

Moonraker still holds that title for me, followed by Octopussy.

I have to agree with you about TLD. why did the producers feel the need to use A-HA's track as the lead song, when they had better songs from the Pretenders on the same soundtrack? Because they had just scored a big hit with Duran Duran's theme from AVTAK and thought that teen bands were the way to...

I think he was joking.

You're saying Brosnan would've looked better as Bond if he'd have done a fifth film?

Not quite. I'm saying that he would have looked better in a fifth film made in 2004 than he would in a fifth film made in 2006.

What is with EON and Campbell with toilets as part of the new Bond's(PB/DC) opening scenes? No clue, either way it doesn't really bother me. Interesting vocabulary, you always refer to the restroom as the toilet instead of the bathroom or lavatory. Are you American? You use the word "restroom", so ...

Glad somebody else noticed. I was the only one in the cinema who laughed during CR when Craig said "I'm all ears".

I think a good topic for discussion would be - 'Was Brosnan too old to make his fifth Bond movie'. One of the reasons he was fired was because he was supposedly too old. Any thoughts. I think he looks good for his age (botox is wonderful stuff :wink:), and had EON not waited 4 years between Bond fi...

Worst: LALD - It doesn't age well compared to Barry. It's just like all those other medicore 70s cop films. I think you are clearly in the minority with that comment. :shock: Actually, I've heard quite a lot of people say similar things, which I why I started my mini-review with "sure it's dated, b...

Captain Nash wrote:I think stocks means that the music in FYEO has a 70's feel to it.

Yes, I know. I was pointing out that the sound was already dated by the time the film came out.

stockslivevan wrote:FYEO - 70s sound wasn't done in a good fashion like TSWLM.

Plus, FYEO was made in the 80's.

Skywalker wrote:The worst IMO is FYEO. Way too much disco.

It's a toss-up between FYEO and Goldeneye for me.

I doubt any actor would have stuck with the franchise for that long.

James wrote:I have no idea who Hrithik Roshan is. He looks like an ice-skater.

He'd probably kick an a$$ or two. That's what Brian Boitano would do.

James wrote:I'd love to see a Bond film that didn't involve Broccoli, Wilson, Arnold, Dench, Purvis & Wade, Campbell and Eon altogether because I'm bored with them all and their creative input.

Well, you'd better hope Kevin McClory wins his court case then. Oh, wait....

a prettier Bond girl. http://www.mensvogue.com/images/arts/2006/08/21/arar01_evagreen.jpg I think Eva looks better in that photo than she did in CR - I agree that the film's make-up artist didn't do her any favours. I think she was wrong for Vesper, though. It's been a while since I read the book (...

Not really a cola drinker - I prefer Dr. Pepper.
