Very interesting PTS.
1 minute mark in the Barry Norman segment.
Ouch!
I’m certainly watching both of them.
That’s one thing I want to know. Was Dalton actually missed by anyone back in ‘95 other than the hardcore fans?
"I'm alone"
"Aren't we all?"
Not by me!
I think he gave it a pass but said that Pryce, though a brilliant actor, doesn’t have the impact he should have as a Bond villain.
Not sure what his views were on TWINE and DAD.

I know a massive Bond fan (and a huge Dalton fan) who proudly claims he told Brosnan directly exactly what he thought of him in GE after the premier. Brosnan was quickly whisked away by Michael G. Wilson.
(Clue: he wasn’t impressed).
It's just that he brought back the cinematic 'cool' which I just felt Bond needed at that time. Coincidentally, I feel the same now.
I’ve met him through another online fan group. Something of a vocal keyboard warrior online. These days his nickname for PB is ‘Drossnan’ and let’s just say, having been introduced to Bond through GE, me and him don’t quite see eye to eye.
@Getafix might get on with him though.
I think it was just a quick meeting for a few seconds. He managed to get out that he didn’t like him in the film and that Dalton should come back before the ‘meeting’ abruptly ended.
@bondjames regarding Brosnan's weedy/pretty look I actually think he looked better in the film than he did during interviews and press photos at that time (I'm thinking of the one in the Q lab with Desmond, Isabella and Famke in particular).
I agree about Brosnan’s considerable popularity with the ladies. Even my own mother prefers him over Connery (she has never understood his appeal) and Daniel Craig (who she think looks like Jeremy Kyle).
He often does that awkward shifting around in his chair during interviews
Even here he looks a tad too pretty (a but like how he looked during the casino scenes in Monte Carlo) but wow...Isabella:
I've always thought Craig looked like Jeremy Kyle too. Don't tell Germanlady, she'll have someone else to obsess over.

I'd like to buy that person a drink!

The joke was on him as Brosnan played Bond three more times.
This might sound like me, but it wasn't. Bravo to that man, whoever you are. I'm surprised it wasn't the fan that was dragged away. "And i'll tell you something else..."
I remember the Dalton fans in 95. Heck even in 97. They had no leg to stand on. I feel sorry for them now but they had lost the argument. Bond was back again, Bond was cool again and Dalton was NOT missed.
This clip comes to mind:
At the end of the day, Brosnan ended not much better than if he were a financial failure as Bond.
Has any of the actors left on a high though? Craig is hoping that's what will happen for him but we will have to wait and see.
