That's #81, just for the record.
With all due respect I highly disagree. Although Dalton might've been the first to a play Bond that certain way (even that's debatable considering how Connery's first 2 performances were pretty damn Flemingesque) Timothy Dalton didn't invent dark and broody. Both actors simply made a conscious choice to stick closer to the given source material. Plus I'm not sure how he could owe success to Dalton seeing as how by that logic Craig would've been emulating the least financially successful Bond in the series. I don't consider taking a failed experiment and making it work as stealing. And this is all coming from a huge Dalton fan.
While I'll admit Binder's last couple of efforts seemed a bit lazy, the good far outweighed the bad.
Sure why not? I won't have alot to contribute but it sounds like fun.

there is a lot here to have fun with and everytime i reread it I think.. Dalton's bond fighting robots... Either it would of been awesome or...
Okay. I'll leave the LTK round open for another day or so and then switch over.
74) Poolside fish wink when they sense a camera movement.
Thank you for the wedding present
It always stood out to me too. Mostly because of the way babyfaced Del Toro delivers it.
How is that unique to this film?
By special request from @Risico007 and in honor of his wedding we'll be doing a special round for Timothy Dalton's proposed third Bond film rumored to be titled The Property of a Lady but since that was never confirmed we'll call it it's tentative title, Bond 17. I don't have alot to contribute to this one so @Risico007 will be doing most of the driving. If you'd like to contribute I'll post whatever references to the film we have below. Let's begin.
(Insert tagline) in
Things We've Learned From…..Bond 17
1) If you are unable to make your 30th anniversary film simply take the main themes that you like and use it in your 50th anniversary film.
2) Q was sentimental about the DB5.
3) The users here on MI6.com are such devoted Bond fans that we can point out the humorous aspects of a film that was never even made.

5. If your henchwoman is too much like a robot simple say she is
6. Disney working on a bond film in any capacity is strange
7. Q with no body preasent assumes 007 is dead and goes off drinking
8. Scotland nuclear facilities are easy to destroy (the potential pts)
9. Anthony Hopkins should of been Sir Henry Cheng
10. Sir Henry is way too into technology (his henchwoman a robot was also his lover in one draft I believe)
11. Had bliss done a third film it would of been blatantly obvious she is dull as dishwater
12. Summer 1991 bond should of returned
13. Skiing in Japan = falling in love at least according to the outline
14. Oh and after a terrorist attack on English soil is the perfect time to dismantle the 00 section for uhm some reason?
15. Bond really does turn the heat on his enemies (blowtorch death of Sir Henry)
Hey! I like Glenn Fry.
It's called humour. Get used to it!
;-)
17) Bond 17 as a title does give the 'Bond is a codename' theorists new ammunition.
No limits. No fears. No substitutes in
Things We've Learned From…..Goldeneye
1) The lowest grossing entry in the series, turmoil at the studio, a 6 1/2 year gap, and the end of the very war the character spawned from would've been enough to kill most film franchises. But for the second time, Bond isn't most film franchises.
2) Apparently the best way to reintroduce one of the most iconic characters in all of cinema after a 6 1/2 year hiatus is to have him hanging upside down in a bathroom over a russian soldier who's relieving himself and than telling a corny joke.
3) Orumov uses a special Soviet brand handgun that allows him to determine which bullets he will fire will be blanks and which will be real.
4) With a couple dozen soldiers firing in the direction of the gas tanks not one bullet will actually penetrate any of the tanks.
5) In Soviet Russia it's perfectly acceptable for Colonels to murder their soldiers in cold blood for disobeying an order.
6) Evidently in Soviet Russia there are dams build on top of snowy mountains. Either that or Bond was riding that converter belt for hours.
7) Despite the fact that Trevelyn's plan relies on Bond escaping, Orumov will allows dozens of his soldiers to spray Bond with bullets and than allow him to jump off of a mountain without a parachute.
8) You can spend 9 years drinking heavily, narrowly avoiding death, and living every day of your life as if it were your last and inexplicably not age a day.
9) MI6 will wait a full 6 years before evaluating Bond for his LTK mission of vigilante revenge.
10) Eric Serra should be legally forbidden from ever writing another Bond score.
11) To pass time in Severnaya, computer programers will hack into a foreign country's department of justice just for kicks.
12) Natalya is really horrible at figuring out really really easy riddles.
13) Natalya can survive traveling through miles of arctic terrain wearing only a shirt and a skirt aslong as she has some sleigh dogs.
14) Feminist pyschobabble have no place in a Bond film.
15) Bond will risk blowing himself and Q up into bits just so he can deliver a one-liner.
16) Brad Whitaker survived being crushed by a statue and with his new lease on life decided to turn over a new leaf and join the CIA.
17) Valentine has something deeply against men who carry Walther PPKs.
18) When going to meet up with a Janus contact Bond will evidently decide that now is the perfect time to go for a swim.
19) Russian women have an interesting idea of foreplay.
20) After demanding to be taken to Janus, Bond apparently showered, dried himself off, styled his hair, put on his suit and put on his shoes all apparently while holding Xenia as gunpoint.
21) Alec Trevelyn is the world's youngest looking 56 year old WW2 child.
22) Because he's old pals with Bond, Trevelyn will set Bond up in a deathtrap with a blinking eject button one foot away from his head.
23) Bond stole a special russian machine gun with a special russian 1000 round clip.
24) The laws of international diplomacy and the safety of russian civilians mean absolutely nothing to Bond.
25) Unfortunately for Trevelyn the whole "kiss her until she likes it" technique only really works if you're Bond.
26) There's no greater turn on to Xenia than a man derailing the train she's riding in with a tank.
27) The film will set up an awesome gadget-laden car only to have Bond never us it.
28) Just to spite Trevelyn Bond will pull the old "kiss her till she likes it" technique out of retirement and to great effect just because he can.
29) Apparently once you get over the sounds of water boarding, prison rape, and marines playing nonstop heavy metal, Guantanamo Bay can actually be a very charming and romantic nightspot.
30) When celebrating the cinematic return of an icon it's best to play a sleepy sounding Eric Serra song rather than the character's equally iconic theme music.
