I saw him in Betrayal, as well. I had my program out to be signed but was too awestruck, filming him, to say a word. I just wanted to keep the moment pure. Then, by chance, as the crowd left, a woman who had gotten hers signed asked if I wanted her program. She actually got two signed and gave me one!
Do you want some wine with that? 😉
You got real lucky there! That’s awesome. I bet it’s something else getting to see him in person.
It was. I can see why Babs talks about his having charisma.
Indeed. I probably would've shut down too and forgot what I was doing if I saw him in person. It's James Bond, how do you not freak out about that?
Agree the delays didn’t have anything to do with him.I’m just clarifying that the only reason I’m seeing all these headlines of the “ longest running 007 “ are because of delays to filming.And let’s face it,Roger Moore is OFFICIALLY the longest running 007 as he made seven Bond films.It’s highly unlikely anyone will ever beat his record.
And as for Craig not jumping ship,wasn’t he contracted to do a certain number of films? Also he didn’t jump ship because he wanted the money.
Sorry to kick up this old argument once more but I also consider "longest running" to belong to Moore, considering the amount of installments he put out.
Connery did the same over a period of 21 years.
But Craig was the longest-running EON Bond, there's no debate about it. Roger made more, but Craig held the title for longer than anyone else. It's simply a fact, end of story.
That's utter bollocks of course, as per usual.
I wonder why Connery did DAF again... ?
I loved the online for QoS so very, very much. One of my biggest gaming highlights of the era.
But I did think he performed very well in them; I'm sure they aren't exactly why he got into acting but that's contracts for you I guess. I remember feeling a little insulted at Brosnan's phoned-in performance in Everything Or Nothing, he clearly had no interest in that.
Connery seemed to be enjoying himself in the FRWL game, it's nice that Bond was effectively his last role (I know there's that awful CG movie last on his CV but I thought I read he'd recorded it years before it was released).
I just had a listen; he's not a terrible voice double at all.
I would try. I live in Arizona and lucked out that I was back east during Betrayal's run.
Getting an autograph or seeing the actors is pretty easy, actually. Every theater has a stage door, from which the actors leave to get to their cars/limos after the show. People will line up outside for autographs. If you get there right after the show, you'll get a pretty decent spot.
Here's a video of DC outside the theater after Betrayal (not my video) but this was basically what it was like, and it's about the same vantage point I had.
Internet high five man!
Right back at you!
Same here. I love both QOS and BS and I regret that I can't play them again due to compatibility issues.
Thank you! I walked past this door everyday on my way to work up until last year, apparently.
I'd love to go back to that release weekend of QoS online. Sweet perfection. If only it'd get some remaster or a port with the online features running again.
And how many did Moore do? Há!
Anyway, one of the most pointless discussions.
hahaha no doubt!
I’d say Moore was the one actor who truly enjoyed and cherished playing Bond the most.If the console generation of gaming had been around during his tenure,I think he would have been quite happy to lend his voice and likeness to Bond video games.
I dream of a day where we get a great Bond game and you are able to choose which Bond actor you want to play as.
It is weird how, in this day and age where we value watching old films and TV shows so much, video games just become lost to the ether and can never be played again unless you do some tech archaeology.
It would have been my dream right after the FRWL game for them to get Roger to do a new game set in the 70s or something. He barely would have sounded any different.
True. I suppose developers don't think much of nostalgic gaming, which is why we have to rely on independent computer wizards to set us up with the necessary patches and whatever have you. I guess video game companies see themselves only as factories of consumer product rather than as distributors of, dare I say, art. I am sure there is some business in retro gaming, but perhaps not enough to warrant the price of remastering old games.
