Exactly. I think it be interesting so to try that in a Bond movie
You were just being arrogant with your point, why else say "I don't know anyone who does that". That comment could only have been meant with one thought process, because you don't know anyone therefore what I was saying was bogus or without any foundation. If not why say it? because I can't see any other reasonable explanation for you to write it. Maybe you should either be a little more respectful to others posting, or put a bit more thought in to what your writing, just because its a forum doesn't give you a licence to behave like an A hole.
The one thing I do know is that it's not wise to spout off calling someone a name (mod or not), especially when you've been here such a short time, simply because you misconstrued the point they were making.

Ages ago, my mate said that he didn't enjoy Bond films with boats in, meaning the underwater sequences in Thunderball, For Your Eyes Only and Tomorrow Never Dies for example. So I responding thusly. Many thanks again.
The only film I cannot remember any aircraft from is CR. Correct me if I am wrong.
Edit- I am wrong. Bond takes a plane to Bahamas.
And the scene in Miami. I am getting senile or drunk or both.
Well he kind of goes rogue in OHMSS, secretly tracing Blofeld to Switzerland after M relieves him of Operation Bedlam. Also the final assault on Piz Gloria with Draco and his men is against M's orders.
Good call. Forgot about that one. Just watched it 2 nights ago too.
Did it really take until Bond 23 for a bad guy (Patrice) to put a bullet in Bond? No wonder Bond keeps winning, the enemy shooting % is dismal.
Bond gets shot in the leg during the Junkanoo chase in Thunderball.
In the side of the head as he escapes the Castle of Death in YOLT and a poisoned slug from Scaramanga's Derringer in TMWTGG.
And, as stated above Bond also gets shot in the leg in the film version of Thunderball during the Junkanoo scene.
So there's your answers, @AntiLocqueBrakes. :)
…here's another…
How did EON get LALD and TMWGG out in back-to-back years? Only time that's happened. What's the context? Why the rush? Did either film suffer from accelerated production in your opinion?
Man…embarrassing. Good point. Forgot about the first four.
I thought about the question looking at the timeline for Bond 25. Wondered what it would be like to get that kind of turnaround today.
It was actually a year and a half with LALD being released in the summer of 73 and TMWTGG being released for Christmas of 74. They had the same gap between DAF (Christmas 71) and LALD. It looks like two years but was actually a year and a half.
Yep. Than after TSWLM it became 2 years. Now it seems like it's become 3. The only time since 1999 that there's been a 2 year gap between Bond films was with CR and QOS and look at all the problems that arose from that production. Plus Michael Wilson went on record saying how much the two year gap between CR and QOS exhausted him and how he needed a break. Cubby never complained and he produced 7 Bond films inside of 12 years.
While every studio around them can plan and produce several movies within a few years they cannot, MGW is just too old and should retire.
Why can't they plan ahead for three movies. Hire an actor with a three movie contract, hire the director or directors for those movies and have the scripts done for once before shooting begins.
If they want the Bond franchise to survive after Craig (which is soon) then they have to make a longterm plan and stick to timetables.
Realistically look at the MI films. Those have been increasingly large gaps between films.
MI-MI2- 4 Years
MI2-MI3- 6 Years
MI3-MIGP- 5 Years
MIGP-MIRN- 4 Years
As I am not a film for the huge gaps, we have seen that with time, we are given good Bond films with the exception of DAD.
Creasy, I am sorry if I misunderstood however I can see no other reason for your comment other than an attempt to belittle what I was saying. There was just no need for you to say "I don't know anyone who does that". It's a matter of Bond folk lore not just of its time, its something confused with history. It was also to point of EON historically being diverse in it's casting. You were very arrogant and thoughtless in your response. Perhaps you have gotten away with lording it up for so long that people you with your "Mod" powers that you will ban them. However if someone acts Mr big and tries to belittle me then yes I will call them an A hole. If you think what you wrote in response to my post was acceptable for a Mod who is supposed to lead by example?
What would it also matter how long I am member, should all members not be treated equally?.
