    Stealing water is a stupid fucking master plan. I don't care what the real world applications of that are, if you're a super villain and the best thing you can come up with is stealing poor people's water, you suck as a super villain.
    Easy $$$.

    It is up there with stealing the world's supply of catfood so you can become ultra powerful.

    Blaket, how does your theory apply to On Her Majesty's Secret Service and The Living Daylights? Those were both terrible.

    Also, Live and Let Die was Roger Moore's first.
    Get the hell out.

    i am not defending the movie because i really don't give a shit, but bond's reasons for going after the frenchman were not so much due to his devious plan but bond's desire for fucking revenge. remember the whole part where mi6 is trying to bring him in?

    Stealing it to use against those aliens in Signs

    also i guess Signs fits into this though it wasn't really wonderful

    the water plot was boring and the villain was lame
    they built up this whole AWESOME SECRET EVIL GROUP OF OLD GUYS WHO MEET AT GIANT OPERAS thing and then nothing ever came of it except weenie guy who wants to sell water in Bolivia
    that is not exciting

    I still enjoyed the movie overall though
    mostly because he flipped that guy's motorcycle

    What if it's a post-apocalyptic road movie?

    Sorry I checked IMDB when I was writing that to confirm that but I must have gotten confused.

    OHMSS was George Lazenby wasn't it? I honestly enjoyed that one and reckon it's a unfairly maligned movie.

    For the Living Daylights I present you my theory of Timothy Dalton is shit.

    I accept your theory.

    And On Her Majesty's Secret Service isn't terrible I suppose, he's just pretty much the worst Bond outside of Timothy Dalton, which kinda left a sour taste in my mouth throughout the whole movie.

    To be fair, I'd be pretty upset if I was watching a Dune movie in which Baron Harkonnen shows up and says, "Leave the spice. Take the water."

    Craig is my favorite Bond far and away, though personally I think it would be cool if they had a new Bond every film.

    You wouldn't get attached to any of them... They would just be disposable. :(

    Boondock Saints is a good movie if you're 16 and you've never seen an independent movie before in your life. I mean, it's not terrible, it's not very good either.

    Bullshit. After Goldfinger (yes, Dr. No was first but Goldfinger was my first Bond film), GoldenEye and Casino Royale, I was already pretty much in love with all three of these guys as Bond, and wanted them to stay as fresh as possible.

    Since there's always a decline as Blaket has been so kind to point out, it would just be better if they had a new one every time.

    Really the Bond writers have to stop hanging out with people like CliffyB who think Bigger, Better and more Badass is what people want.

    Dr. No, Goldeneye and Casino Royale were all moderately budgeted movies. They didn't have ridiculous budgets and their special effects were reasonably used.

    I mean in Die Another Day Bond went surfing on a giant wave and had an invisible car I mean Jesus Christ.
