    This is a bad opinion!!!

    It’s yours and I respect that...but it’s bad!

    The idea of Sean Connery coming back to destroy MI6 and the only Bond who is still otherwise alive other than Craig as the protaganist is Roger Moore, who retires, gives Craig the big reveal of the bad guy's secret identity, and then quietly and calmly tells him that no he's not going to help him, he's retired and he's saved the world enough times

    That one always sticks with me. How I wish that that pitch got made into a movie. The final Bond movie, of course. It would have been perfect.

    I like this idea a lot.

    It was Grey Ghost's idea, and it's a very fine one

    I'm pretty sure the Roger Moore part is your addition but I love it and will gladly steal it!

    i am currently watching Thunderball, which I think is the earliest Connery movie they have for free on Prime

    it's.. okay. it started out extremely rough but its improving as it goes on

    While I generally like most of them, I think one of the issues I have with the Craig films is the over-insistence on having a through line.

    Casino Royale - Oh, we get to see how Bond became the Bond we all know. Neat. At the end, he finally becomes classic 007 ...
    Quantum - Oh, not yet. I guess we're going to have all of this first. But at the end, he is finally the 007 we all know. Now we'll get some classic Bond adventures ...
    Skyfall - Wait, why are we jumping to late career, over the hill Bond? What about that whole fun middle bit?
    Spectre - All of these films were connected! Don't think about it too hard, just, they totally were, even if that is kind of stupid and actively makes some of the previous ones worse! Here's some awful reveals that make no sense and actively make the characters and films less interesting, because this is a modern film and everything has to be connected to everything! (I really hate Spectre)

    That, and the whole, "Is James Bond still relevant in the modern world?", thing has just gotten tedious.

    I believe Robert Davi inflates and explodes in Licence To Kill

    Of course, also from GoldenEye is Boris’ excellent death

    Goldfinger gets sucked out of a broken airplane window, that’s fun

    Robert Davi has that done to a lesser villain who worked for him, it doesn't happen to Robert Davi.

    I have finished the movie and I retract this statement. This movie is awesome, but Lazybeams is still a goof. It does have a weak opening though.

    Thank fuck for that, I was going to have to have you abducted and taken to my "Telly Savalas is the best Blofeld and no, if you disagree with me you are wrong" re-education camp.

    OHMSS was George Lazenby's first real acting gig (he'd done some modelling, an ad for a chocolate bar, and paid his bills as a used car salesman), and he didn't get along very well with the producers.

  • ShortyShorty touching the meat Intergalactic Cool CourtRegistered User regular
    yeah, I think considering that lazenby hadn't done any acting before, he comes out of it looking alright

    He literally showed up to the casting and lied his ass off about being an actor in order to get the job.

    OHMSS was panned when it came out because George Laserbeea wasn’t Sean Connery and audiences were upset he wasn’t and hadn’t yet accepted the idea that someone else could be James Bond.

    He then went all in on the anti-war movement and became a mega-hippy, which the movie producers did not support.

    reading about george lazenby and apparently Moore implied that there's a secret email group of former James Bond actors who mostly just send eachother jokes.

    Watching On Her Majesty's Secret Service as a teen with my dad is the first time I can recall falling asleep while watching a movie.

    i finished Thunderball, this is the first Connery bond movie I have watched start to finish.

    It was a rough start but I ended up liking it. HARPOON BATTLE

    currently on From Russia With Love and... this is ridiculous but I also don't hate it


    NOTEWORTHY that Connery seems to spend about 70% of all screen time shirtless in either swimtrunks or a bath towel.

    Connery was never shirtless, much like myself he came naturally equipped for northern climes.
