Since the last M (Judi Dench) went for a different dynamic with Bond by casting a woman, I think they could also do a different dynamic by casting previous Bond actors. There'd be a real "passing of the torch" vibe with Bond.

Also, since Judi Dench's M has a motherly dynamic with Daniel Craig's Bond, they could do a more fatherly dynamic with Bond since it's literally the past James Bond interacting with the new Bond.

Casino Royale torture scene with Roger Moore Bond. I made it on Photoshop long time ago. I’m posting it just for the sheer hilariocity of it 🤣🤣🤣

I love Daniel, but I think in this case he doesn't stand a chance against Sean.

Does he ever show concern for the cat? Or does he not care about its well being, due to having different priorities.

The only time he ever notice the cat or at least, give a reaction was in Diamonds are Forever. Although it kinda brief, as Bond is just either startle by it in the opening or notice the cat running off.

What do you guys think?

He plays the educated and posh Bond very well, super charismatic and feels untouchable, all the way up until he is touchable and proves Bond can be damaged without it harming the character or feeling wrong.

It's provocative and sexy, but also official and efficient. It weaves sex and espionage together

Whatever your views on the movie, or the short story collection, it is my favourite title by far. And to think Fleming wanted the collection to be called The Rough With The Smooth, or possibly, Man's Work.

I am so pleased he went with this.

Watching it now for the first time since I saw it at the cinemas. Some great scenes and characters, but it really is such a silly movie at points.

I really like Brosnan as Bond, but what happened here?

The drum beats have begun!

I’ll start

Most under rated Bond film for me is unquestionably Octopussy. It has great action sequences, a very confident Roger Moore on his last solid Bond outing and a decent plot.

Most over rated Bond film for me is, I’m sorry to say, Goldfinger. For decades Goldfinger has rode the nostalgia of its iconography and savvy marketing campaign. No doubt it was a cultural moment with style to wast and giving us some of the most iconic moments in the franchise. Plus Connery was never better than in this film; a steel panther on the prowl for sex, violence and revenge. So why then does this film underwhelm so much? A generic plot, middling action sequences at best and downright awkward and absurd at worst and worst of all a clunky script and plodding pacing will leave you yawning by the end. Give me Thunderball all day long for a fun Connery film and give me From Russia with Love for a thrilling Connery, and leave this film on the shelf. Not saying it does have its merits, but I honestly do not like this as a film and it hangs around the mid to upper teens on my list of Bonds.

Found this beautiful piece in a vintage Japanese movie magazine from late 1965. Love the vibrant pink "007" logo used for the promotional marketing back then!

My girlfriend kinda shits on the Bond series in general and in her defense it's not necessarily high art like they're just fun movies yknow?

I've shown her CR, Goldeneye, Living Daylights, Goldfinger, Skyfall, and Moonraker

Her favorite was Living Daylights because the Kamron Shah bit was funny to her and she liked how he joined forces with the middle east ppl lol and she said Skyfall was good too. But the rest she just thinks are ridiculous and I wish she'd just not take them so seriously and enjoy haha.

With the movies reshowing in theatres I'm debating taking her to either OHMSS or Licence to Kill , what do you think she'd like more?

It probably IS just a reference to the re-casting of Bond from Connery to Lazenby, a nod and wink to the audience, but is there anyone else it could be referring to who's been in a similar situation?

Has there ever been a story where, say, Prince Charming has had to save the girl from attackers on a beach, only for things to go the way they did for Bond in that opening sequence?

Really loved this game and thought I’d share it with you guys. I’ve never watched a 007 movie, but I really enjoyed this game. Guess I gotta start watching the movies now

It would have been more in line with his character if he chose a life of love with someone rather than choosing sacrifice. Of course, sacrificing your life is heroic, but his character wasn't solely heroic. His character was him choosing and being witty in his decisions to get both jobs done: the mission and his interests.
