Would you rather attend a casino in Monte Carlo GE or sip cocktails on the rooftops of Shanghai SF?

    Is the NTTD glider a single use, one-and-done flight?

    The one in NTTD obviously was. Plus you would need a salvage ship to recover it and another transport plane for the next use. The Acrostar is actually environmentally friendly in comparison.

    Yeah, Acrostar for me too.

    A few times in the series the villains have engaged in some unique activities. In some cases these have been used to thwart our man from his mission. However putting aside the villainy of these activities, which one would you rather partake in?

    Would you rather go on a safari with Kamal Khan OR go horseback riding with Zorin?

    Both feature animals, though one involves some hunting and some ceremony. In one you might be careful not to anger Zorin as he might sick some goons on you. Likely Max will always win the race too!

    Neither. Both were uninteresting villains

    Getting too old to risk fall on my ass from a horse so it's got to be a Safari with Kamal. Max Zorin's too cerebrally unbalanced to keep company with and the idea of a jungle hunt kind of sounds appealing. I don't condone killing animals in the name of sport but it's only a game idea here.

    This is a tough one, going on Safari with Kamal is a tough one, as Bond was the prey being hunted, but then going horse riding with Zorin would also be dangerous. Zorin clearly cheats with some nasty thugs and dodgy jumping obstacles.
    So, I'll pass on either of them.

    If I on Safari hunt with Kamal I'd rather be embarrassed if I was to hear a silly Tarzan yell from my quarry so I will go with the Zorin horse chase even though I can't ride!

    I'm not hunting animals! Better be riding even though I don't know how.

    What a great time would be had, either on the track or out on safari.

    Lets play some games. Through the course of the series some games have been featured. Which one would you rather engage in?

    Would you rather play chess with Kronsteen OR Domination (video game) with Largo?

    A chess master of some renown. Not known for engaging with his fans, but he is known for brilliant coup's. Do you have what it takes to checkmate him?

    Feel the pain if you lose, but win a dance if you win! Risk reward is strong here. Careful the stakes will raise as you battle for world domination!

    I'd play both. I love chess and I like the occasional video game. Not sure about Kronsteen's company though, I'd much rather have some banter with Max Largo and end it all with a tango with Domino ;)

    Considering Kronsteen is based on the incredibly creative and attacking David Bronstein (considered as one of the best chess players never to win the world championship), I'd love to play him (although I would definitely lose).

    So not Domination (cigar, ice) with Largo.

    Chess with Kronsteen would be a quick game. I'll take that.

    I'd love to have a crack at playing Domination.
    The cheesy graphics, the ability to inflict pain and feel it, unlike any video game going.
    Add to that the possibility of one dance with Domino.
    Wins!

    I'd play chess with Kronsteen. I don't like the idea of being electrocuted, for one, I find Largo utterly immature with his video game and chess is just fancier. I also know how to play chess, albeit I'm not very good at it. I'd probably be beaten in an humiliating fashion and in no time. Then again, with Kronsteen's overconfidence, who knows.

    It's summer time why not think about hitting a beach. Who and where would you like to hit the sand and ocean with?

    Would you rather have lunch with Domino by the pool OR have mojitos with Jinx by the ocean?

    thunderball-james-bond-and-domino.jpg?ssl=1

    Sharing lunch by a pool with the beautiful Domino. You can have conch chowder and look at the bracelet on her ankle. Course someone might be watching you as Domino has a jealous guardian.

    OR

    Have a strong mojito by the beach with Jinx and a feast like there's no tomorrow. You might have a mouthful but you will enjoy the drinks and the company!

    Domino
    Easily Domino

    Look she’s waving at me…

    Domino 10000%. One of my absolute favorites <3

    No dilemma there, Domino is just otherwordly charming and beautiful.

    Besides, I'll always prefer a pool to the beach. So much more comfortable, no salty water and no sand that bloody goes everywhere.
  • QBranchQBranch Always have an escape plan. Mine is watching James Bond films.

    Either would be "perfectly satisfactory", but I'll choose Domino by the pool, because at least there I can sit down and hide my, um, excitement.

    Make it Jinx. Whom am I kidding? I won't even kid myself.

    Just catching up here:

    Sailing or bouncing on the waves- however much fun the speedboat is, and extra options it has, little can beat the power of nature, sailing on a (stunningly beautiful) boat, so I'll go for that.

    Q or station head - my love of technology would win compared to my sense of adventure. Just too much fun having all those techies work for me. And testing the cars, of course.

    Glider or Acrostar?- well, even if you use the glider as a glider is supposed to be used, it doesn't seem to have a towing ring, you still need to drop it from a plane everytime, so not very enviromentally friendly. And that Acrostar is just too much fun anyway. I'd love to fly one one day.

    Safari or horseback? - I'm terrible at horseriding and I think I might be able to vanish in the jungle, so I'll choose that one.

    Chess with Kronsteen vs World Domination with Largo - Chess, for health and savety reasons, and personally, I'm not too impressed with that incarnation of Domino.

    Domino or Jinx? - Easy, Domino! From the film that gave us the most sensual women of all time, Domino and Fiona, they'll both always win any competition. What I don't want to do is have to choose between them.

    Beach with Jinx. 2002 or this afternoon just as good.

    From ladies and water activities to hotels. Our man has stayed in some wonderful hotels. Lets see where you would prefer to get lodging.

    Would you rather stay at the Peninsula hotel Hong Kong (TMWTGG) OR stay at Hotel Cala di Volpe in Sardina (TSWLM)?

    Bond meets Andrea Anders at this hotel and ends up staying there himself. The location is right in the heart of this bustling city and comes with the use of a green Rolls Royce for it's customers.

    OR

    Lovely lines and a lovely craft of boats are to be found here in Sardinia. Bond and Anya stay here as Mr. and Mrs. Sterling while investigating Stromberg. Close to the water and with some historic architecture this is a picturesque hotel!

    Well I've been to the Peninsula and have some good memories there, so might pick that.

    Sardinia. I’ve always wanted to go there.

    Peninsula, all day long. Then again, Hong Kong is my all time favourite city, so it was always going to win.
