ICER

All this week, Spike TV has run a James Bond marathon showing four or five bond movies a day. And I really enjoyed getting reacquainted with the super spy guy. Here’s a recap of what I learned

Sean Connery is the best Bond. The man himself, the A-number one 007. No other Bonds can touch him in style or stature.

Favorite Bond movies with Connery…
1.‘Goldfinger’ The whole concept of the movie was inspired.
2.‘Diamonds are Forever’ Because of the gay assassins that took their job in stride
3.‘You Only Live Twice’ mainly because I have a soft spot for Asian women. But also because of ‘Little Nellie’ the ultimate in bond gadgets.

Favorite bad guy
Goldfinger. If not for his style. It would because of all the gad guys. He was the only one that was ready to put a bullet in 007 at the drop of a hat. No posturing. No boosting, No great scheme, Just a bullet and be done with it. Only 007’s bluff saved him. But his plan to break in, but not rob Fort Knox but to radiate it to increase the value of his gold was shear ingenious writing on Flemmings part.

Favorite bad guy quote
“Bond” Do you expect me to talk?
“Goldfinger” No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die.

Favorite gadget
Little Nellie -The mini gyro copter.

Favorite bond girl
Kissy Suzuki – Mai Hama

Favorite car
The Aston-Martin

Favorite Bond Quote
“Vodka martini, Shaken not stirred”


Roger Moore. The second of the Bonds. I feel he took the character and gave him a sense of humor. Sort of took the steam out of the stuffed shirt that Connery had.


Favorite Movies
1.“For Your Eyes Only”. It was the only movie where Bond didn’t win.
2.“View to a Kill” Christopher Walken as a bad guy? Get outta here
3.“Moonraker” If for no other reason. Because Jaws gets laid. And if he can. There’s hope for anybody.


Favorite bad guy
Christopher Walken as Max Zorin. Because he was just plain devise and evil. Yeah, let’s destroy a part of California to increase my own business holdings. Talk about a go getter attitude.

Favorite bad guy quote
“Bond” They will send someone to replace me’
“Zorin” Let us hope he will be more competent then you were.

Favorite gadget
The laser watch

Favorite Bond girl
Melina Havelock - Carole Bouquet

Favorite car
The Lotus. The one that turned into a sub

Favorite Bond Quote
“Well. You put on your clothes, and I’ll buy you an Ice Cream”

Pierce Brosnan – The fifth person to hold the title of the super spy. I’ve liked this guy since Remington Steele. And though he was a perfect choice to wield the Walther's PPK. It was only because of a contract that he didn’t take the mantel sooner. Which might be a good thing. Because the movies he would have done. Pretty much blew.

Favorite movies
1.Die Another Day – Halle Berry (growl) Not to mention it’s almost the exact story line of “Diamonds or Forever”.
2.Tomorrow Never Dies – kind of gives you an idea of just how evil the media is.
3.The World is Not enough – Not really one of my favorite. But I like the over all planning of the bad guys. But sadly it’s when we say goodbye to Q. and say hello to the new Q, John Cleese. A perfect choice in my book

Favorite bad guy
Stamper - Götz Otto (Let’s torture somebody and see how long we can keep them alive, Now that’s evil

Favorite bad guy quote
Elliot Carver “ Tell the president that if he doesn’t pass the bill. We will release the pictures of him and the cheerleader. And when he does pass it. Release them anyway”

Favorite gadget
The X-Ray sunglasses – See what the other person is or is not wearing. Plus they look really good.

Favorite Bond girl
Natalya Simonova - Izabella Scorupco

Favorite car
BMW Z3 roadster

Favorite Bond Quote
That's what keeps me alive.

I'm going to miss the bondathon. I liked that I could turn it on. And watch Bond for a few. Hopefully they well do it again. and soon

I thought Goldeneye was Brosnan's best 007 role. I love Trevilyan, Natalia, and Xena, all great characters. Plus lots of supporting characters. It's my favourite Bond film actually. And it has the best game to go along with it

ICER

I haven't play the game. But my friend has. She said "it rocks"

The only reason GoldenEye isn't on my favorite list is that I like the plot of 'The World is Not Enough' over it.

If Pierce had one or two more movies I'd have to put him at number one. But he's definately pushed Moore out of the number two spot in my book.

Find more about our favorite gentelman/spy on "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang: the Official James Bond Thread" (http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=73837). I try to keep up-to-date info and good conversations on Bond going there.

The best Bond quote ever was in Never Say Never Again

With the nurse across the room and Bond on the exam table...
Nurse: Mr. Bond, I need a urine sample. If you could fill this beaker for me?
James Bond: From here?

Favorite movies:
For Your Eyes Only, loved the ski chase scenes.
Never Say Never Again, big holographic video game that shocks you when you lose? Awesome.
Man with the Golden Gun, I have dreams about video game levels designed like the arena Hervé Villechaize had set up on the island.

Yea, i caught a couple of movies on the Bondathon Marathon. Its seems like SpikeTV plays them every week though. My favorite would probably be Goldfinger.

darens42

you would think after so many movies that the bad guys would know to just kill him straight up the first time they see him instead of setting up elaborate ways for him to die - when will they learn?

You'll love Goldeneye: Rogue agent. It has that very level. Everything from the room with the mirrors to the Al Capone manequin with the gun. Enjoy.

Willravel

Seriously, though. This thread should probably be combined with the Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang thread.

ICER

I disagree willravel, I did a search before I posted. I came across your thread. It delt more with Bond news. this thread deals with Bond favorites. Which is why I posted it sperate from yours.

But I did (and do) enjoy the other thread as well.
