That was cool. Summed up TLD pretty well.
I too loved the article. Nice to see some appreciation for Dalton on a place that isn't all Bond-related. Sometimes it feels like the 'general public' forgets about him.
There are a faithful few waiting for his return!
It's just how the early Christians must have felt. Pilloried and persecuted by the majority, but keeping the faith alive during the dark days.
Or may be not.
I was upset when Dalton didn't return but I still enjoyed GE and Brosnan is now my 2nd favourite Bond.
i guess that's what makes this site interesting!
At 0:40-- that's a kick in Dalton's nuts, isn't it! [-(
To be frank, this could happen to any of them, it happened to Dalton and it happend to Brosnan, so none of them is secure,. I haven't followed this thread, because I thought, the title even is utterly ridiculous, but was curious about the last posts and where it lead to.
I think Brosnan was just outright fired. And he was told he was getting a 5th film, like I said before, it'd be like turning up for work and finding out you'd lost your job.
Dalton left on his own because it had been years and the series wasn't going anywhere, and the studio thought he wasn't popular enough but Cubby liked him and wouldn't fire him.

If I use an emoticon I am usually not taking it seriously. Others times, only emoticons can explain my feelings when words can't. I'll leave it to you to decide which corresponds to this instance. >:)
No it's true.

The studio might not have liked him but unlike Brosnan, he did leave on his own.
and irony i dislike craig's bond so much because in my mind he stole the role from one of the best bonds and denied a redeeming 5th Bond film for Brosnan
he didnt get "sacked" he requlished the role because of the waiting peroid and the fact that he didnt want to get typecasted
@Getafix Knows he didn't get sacked I think, he was having a dig at people who think he was.
And Lazenby and Moore in FYEO :p
It's the way Bond films seem to work. I suppose the difference was that Dalton went a step further and actually studied ALL the books.
He jumped before he was pushed.
That's cool. I wonder if that's why Pegg cast him in Hot Fuzz?
