    Do you guys consider Bond as an anti-hero or a hero?

    Hero. I don't think he's done anything wrong enough to be considered an antihero. Yes, he drinks and fornicates, but so do most people. Yes, he kills people, but they're all bad guys anyway.

    When I look up the definition for antihero on Google, it's pretty loose:

    "a central character in a story, movie, or drama who lacks conventional heroic attributes."

    Conventional heroic attributes can be subjective. I've personally thought of Bond as an antihero, just because he's so rough around the edges. In my mind, a "conventional" hero is more of a role model.

    Thankfully I didn't need to ventilate anyone. I'm handy.

    The latest from my favorite lunatics at Miniatur-Wunderland: Patagonia complete with a calving glacier, the Drake Passage and some Antarctica (no train there, I guess). Opened today, I'll be going to look at it within the next very few days.

    There are English subtitles in these videos.


    Those guys surpass themselves all the time.

    You can add LTK, so it's a tetralogy, since LTK has Bond remembering Tracy because Felix's wife had died in his wedding day.

    MI6 Community is still undefeated, still the best Forum/Community about Bond.

    Just saying ;)

    When it comes to the worst, don't expect anything from Reddit.

    This is magnificent as it is. But as much as I like Cher (mostly her voice), she can't hold a candle to Tina in this.

    I don't know if something like this happened to you, but years ago, i once dreamt about a Disney movie with Timothy Dalton playing the role of Rapunzel.
    Not my proudest anecdote.

    Sounds like the similar incident with Bond and Cedar Leiter in John Gardner's For Special Services (1982)!

    I'm planning to create an Iceberg meme for the bizarre Bond facts, anyone can help me in thinking some facts or trivia about Bond,but here's what I know so far:

    1. The Flaming Hand in LTK, and the haunted road of Mexicali Road in LTK in general.
    2. The Dying by painting Gold in GF Hoax.
    3. George Lazenby was nominated for a Golden Globes award for the 'Most Promising Newcomer' for OHMSS (see?!)
    4. Christopher Lee was a cousin of Ian Fleming.
    5. Roger Moore as James Bond in 1964 episode.
    6. Gert Frobe's nazi connections and GF was banned in Israel.
    7. The Early Warhead, NSNA scripts
    8. Maud Adams Cameo in AVTAK
    9. Ian Fleming cameo in FRWL
    10. A stuntman died in FYEO
    11. Moore found dead Bodies in the river klong in TMWTGG.
    12. There were no redhead 'main' villains in the Bond Franchise (they're either brown, blond or bald).
    13. Delicatessen in Stainless Steel from FYEO meaning.
    14. Mandela effect on Dolly's braces
    15. Jan Werich Blofeld audition clips in YOLT
    16. Out of 25, only three Main Villains were died of cold blood from Bond (Scaramanga, Stromberg and Elektra), this was despite of how iconic was Bond's gunshot, the rest of them didn't died from Bond's iconic gunshot.

    Feel free to add other facts.....🙂

    In LALD, an actor passed out from a snake being waved around in front of them. I presume it was Baines himself, and the fainting is seen in the film.
