    I think those were one-offs.

    It's been said before - but please be gone with all the references to past Bondfilms. You can't have an homage every bleedin' 3-4 years.

    No more Bond being caught in flagrante by his boss.

    No more winking fish.

    Stupid sound effects wrecking an awesome stunt. E.g. the lollypop sound effect when Bond and Sherriff J.W Pepper jump the river in TMWTGG.

    FYI that's called a slide whistle. And yes it ruined a great stunt. Well, the presence of JW Pepper ruined that scene. I wonder if anyone had made a fan edit of TMWTGG was reduced/eliminated Pepper and other stupidities.

    But without pepper you wouldnt get the best line ever from Moore "A sure am boy!"

    I never want to see another Bond movie that portrays a fictional MI6 agent.

    Oh my.....you've brought back memories, and not good ones let me tell you...

    That woman, beautiful though she may have been, should not have been let anywhere near a Bond film. Atrocious performance from her.

    YOU MISSED IT ENTIRELY. Like Pam, you're supposed to roll your eyes at that line. She's an impressionable little air head. And it's always good to play an impressionable little airhead LIKE an impressionable little air head IMO.

    Ok. Now I get it. She was supposed to be empty headed and annoying. She nailed it then imo.....couldn't have done it better. Very underrated. Next time I watch it, I think I might actually be able to watch her scenes without turning away now!

    Think your caps lock button got stuck on. I got that at the time, she still delivers the line like qn amateur. Clear she was hired for her looks above all else.

    So, if they'd gotten an Oscar winning actress in that role to deliver the line in precisely the same way you'd be okay with the performance then? :))

    I never saw what was so bad about her, to be honest. Perfectly serviceable, in my books. I feel the same way with Paris Carver, too.

    A good actress can play gullable. The girl rushes the line and overly dramatic in the context of the scene. There is an un-natural pause part wy through the line as well. Like a rabbit caught in head lights. If were just throwing authentic faults of people to potray what they are on screen should we get Alan Sugar in as Blofeld?

    You're still not explaining to me exactly how an accomplished actress could have delivered that line any better. I don't think any actress alive could have possibly topped the vacuous beauty-pagent-winner-like frivolity from Soto there. =D>

    That's insane what you are arguing is that the art of acting does not exist because you can throw anyone who behaves like the intended charachter in front of a camera and shout action?

    I never want to see Bond in gondola driving around Venice.
    or in a clown suit.

    By all means. Just as you can use person who's actually tall to play a tall character, or a person who actually stutters to play a stuttering character. Things like that are done all the time in movies, man!

    I, on the other hand, would like to see that happening a minimum of three times per film.
    Silly silly British man...

    Chrisisall still defending LTK to the hilt :D

    Underrated film? Certainly. But can't deny there are some really crappy lines (delivered poorly) in there, and that one possibly tops the lot.

    Lupe is the only bad thing about LTK. Everything else is perfect Bond.

    Erm, the DEA agent, the 'girl fight' between Soto & Lowell... I name but two. There are more.
