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.

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.
Wow. On her majestys secret service is just bad and George Lazerbees is just goofy isn't he
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.

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.

I like this idea a lot.

This is probably the greatest typo I have ever seen in my entire fucking life.
Sean Bean getting the cradle dropped on him is up there for me but it's been a while since I've watched the othera
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

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.
