The James Bond Appreciation Thread (quote, 2006)

Best bond ever was Moore.

Best song was the original theme (it's the tune that plays when I get a new text message

)

Best movie...hmmm...Moonraker and The Spy Who Loved Me are up there. As is Octopussy and A View To A Kill...

And Casino Royale isn't bad. It's too long though. But Craig really humanizes Bond, makes him seem more real.

oh and on another board the arguement was Bourne vs. Bond. My thoughts:

I can't even believe this was brought up for debate.

James Bond epitomizes suave, dangerous, and being cool underfire. He's passionate when he kills things and when he ****s things. Bourne is an impotent cry baby.

Do you fellows mean the character, or the plot of the movies, or the books by Sir Ian Flemming, youre not really saying very much.

I mean the Movies in general.
The "Plot" or lack thereof.

eh, the newer one's leave much to be desired. But the older one's are nothing but classics. Focused more on entertaining the audience with fight scenes and plot, rather than invivible cars and Pierce Brosnan's backside.

..and advertising

I don't care for any of them.

I can agree that the older ones are far better, but it's just the fact that it's a bunch of Multi-Million Dollar Crap.

So it would be better if they were working on a shoestring budget and had Doug E. Doug playing Bond?

There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
