I know some can't stand it, but one of my favorite moments of Brosnan's in DAD is during the car chase with Zao, where he uses the ejector seat to dodge the incoming rocket. Always been awesome to me.
If I ranked the films by "most fun to watch" it'll be something like this:
1 DAF
2 QOS
3 TMWTGG
4 MR
5 DAD
6 LALD
Its not only that. Its the crap fest dialogue that starts when jinx arrives, amongst other things.
Having said that, I know what you mean. Madonna doesn't do a bad job, but people have a fit because she's Madonna. If she was an unknown people would not have batted an eyelid.

Making myself comfortable earlier with one of Switzerland's famous dishes: Fondue, it's a melted cheese mixture with some garlic, and some white whine in it.
You eat this with bread cubes and drink white wine to it.
Dinner for one :)
And of course the great Dalton on TV.
The PTS is one of the best, it's like a Bond mini movie, the score is fantastic and the action and stunts are great. And of course Dalton isn't a wuss and did it almost all himself!
The title sequence is maybe visually not the best but the song is one of the most powerful in the series and it gives me goosebumps every time.
The Wedding Date: It's a unique sequence and adds to the character of Felix Leiter greatly.
The bittersweet moment when Felix has to explain to Della about Bond being married a long time ago... such little details make this film a certain Top 10 entry.
Felix getting nibbled on by the bad shark isn't for the faint of heart. Back then it bothered me greatly but I was only 15. Today I can see how important this scene is to provide the motivation Bond has to avenge Felix and Della.
Some of the very best acting jobs in the series happen when Bond finds Della and Felix dead and half-dead in their house. Dalton is on fire. That's what I want to see from a Bond actor, real emotions, believably put on the big screen. Do I have to spell it out:
DALTON RULEZ™
Dinner is over now and I will enjoy the second third of the film and comment on it.
Effing A . I'm in the mood for it. It's going in right now............
Gunbarrel.....TIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Astonishing what female power EON assembled for the LTK soundtrack.
Comment on Tim's hair...........the back is long enough and looks trimmed that if he wanted a Fonzie D.A....he could pull it off.
Tim looks good. Lean and mean. He's serious and means business, especially sneaking around the warehouse at night. Damn they really need to bring this element of Bond back, and THIS is a great example of those types of scenes.
Reminder to Eon: 007 wears a shoulder holster and NOT a belt holster as in SP.
The scene with M is so strong. That's how Bond goes rogue. Simply perfect. M being hard but cares at the same time. A great M. I miss those days.
I hope Fiennes can bring some of that back. Already has in SP of course.
The M scene was great. I liked Robert Brown's M a lot. He was old school and traditional, yet wasn't a Bernard Lee clone. I miss the Bond says of the late '80's. Had the then higher ups at MGM not sold the TV rights to the Bonds, or whatever it was they did, we most definitely would have had a third Dalton Bond in 1991.
Moore wasn't very popular before TSWLM I believe. Sometimes it takes a couple of movies.
1991 and then probably 1993 would have cemented Dalton as the Bond for the nineties.
I always felt the balance between humor and grit for Dalton would have been perfected by his 3rd film. He can play humor, be charming and funny, arrogant, and so forth. Hawks and The Rocketeer show those traits marvelously. Great actor Tim is.

Thank you for the encouraging words.
I love my flat, I put work into it to make it comfy and cosy and I have put all my favourite stuff on display, I'm surrounded by it and I like that.
My friend with benefits is a great thing that I have going on since last August.
I know I should not complain.
I have to get used to being alone, it's been 9 months now since my wife gave me the boot and I can't even blame her, we were more friends than lovers. At least we parted on good terms, we do have a daughter after all and will see to it that she keeps happy. She's only 7 this April, 16th. She stays with me every other weekend and every Monday, Tuesday.
I agree that things like my movies, my comics, my newly found freedom and having good friends should be enough. I will adapt eventually to feel alone in the night.
