Thesis seems accurate
What I find surprising is how monogamous Bond was in TSWLM. As far as we know, apart from the girl Hussein 'gives' him, there's only Anya. And she wanted to kill him! The cabin girl affair got interrupted. Was it Bonditus Interruptus though? I don't know. ;-)
Why yes, I agree with the thesis. ;) This is just escapist fun, gentlemen.
Hmm, that's true about TSWLM, one of my very fav Bond films. But I think we can count the opening sequence cabin girl as a yes and let's have seconds or thirds kind of encounter. So maybe 3 total for Sir Rog then.
And in FYEO there are only 2 right? I so enjoy that movie, too.
Disagree. In the novel FRWL things are explained very well. Bond had a relation with Tiffany Case, but it's his marriage to his job that gets in the way. they ought to use that more in the films. So it should be taken seriously.
Disagree with thesis. Leiter has helped Bond whenever MI6 or his home office has asked.
Agree with thesis. Multiple shaggings are the norm, but when they have a solid female lead (Melina and Kara as examples) as his only love interest, it doesn't bother me.
I don't believe it's correct to infer from the novels to the movies because they are two different narrative worlds. But if you remember, in MR Bond claims to have 3 different relations with married women... is that a serious approach? It seems he just wants to have fun (and by fun I mean sex).
Hahahahahahahaha, oh there we go, slap the ol' knee, that was a good one!
Yes, he did. AVTAK was definitely a shag fest. Just not overly believable with Moore being twice Roberts' age. Thankfully he didn't have to shower with Jones. I know what I would have done stuck in a shower with her. Drop the soap and made sure to slip and knock myself out before she could eat me.
Hurray for the escapist fantasy.
PS I agree with the thesis.
Would anyone really risk bending over whilst sharing a shower with Grace Jones?
She'd probably whip out a 15 inch strap on and then you'd be the one saying 'ooooh' like Rog does at the very end of AVTAK.
And you'd hear alot more of those Rog Wilhelm screams Ah...WHOOOOOOOOOA!!!
:)) I could see that happening and my plan would have been a standing up straight slip and fall. Hopefully she'd then seek another meal, after hopefully being kind enough to turn off the shower and call for emergency services.
I think the "ooooooooh" was probably Rog realizing Grace had first eaten all his Viagra ;)

Well of course they're two different narrative worlds, but the films are based on the books, so it's only natural that traits of the main character are copied to the silver screen.
Yes, having three affairs at the same time could be a very serious approach. Still officially single myself I can tell that having affairs is not just escapist fun, it's part of a serious way of living. With Bond it's only very natural to do so, because of the complications of his job. This is well laid out in OHMSS as well as CR (2006, of course). Yes, he wants to have fun, but the reasons why e doesn't go for the full relationship are serious as can be.
In a way I think it's true, it was a bit of an issue back then IRC. Agree.
God, it's delicious to hear this from a lady! Thank you, @4EverBonded, you've made my day. :-) I'm always joyed when a lady can roll with the fun of it. Too often are we, boys, persuaded into thinking that women universally loath the objectifying of women in the Bonds. You prove the PC-ists wrong. Can I take thy hand and kiss it, dear lady? ;-)
Agree with thesis, although I think the premise goes back way farther than the 90's.
4Ever is going to love your remarks, I just know it. She is a great Bond fan and they don't come any better than her. If only other women (excluding the ones here of course) thought the same way, although with Craig in the role it appears the female audience is growing and the series is making new fans of them.
She shines like a diamond in the realm of Bond fans.
Don't forget his all black Blofeld suit.
Agree. The charactor of Elliot Carver screams of Rupert Murdoch to me!
I even remember that TND was cited by the famous professor of political theory Fernando Vallespín in a Political Science Congress I attended as an example of the power of big comunication corporations as a "fourth power" of contemporary democracies.
So, agree.
Ah such a gentleman. Well, let's just say thou can buy me a drink some day, if ever the twain shall meet. :)
