I'm new, well I registered a year ago but have only got back on here now. I always avoid the main site in the run up to a new release as I try to avoid everything about each new film - trailers, news items etc - so it's a totally fresh experience in the cinema.
I'm a long standing Bond person. Hooked in the 1960s. I vividly remember being very intrigued by the McGinnis Thunderball posters around town. I went to my first Bond film at the cinema in 1968 to see a double bill of Dr. No and You Only Live Twice. I've collected Bond and Bond-related books since the early 70s. I'm up to 9 first edition Fleming hardbacks. As a graphic designer I'm obsessed with how Bond is represented visually in print. My favourite book covers are the 1970s 'Still Life' versions and the Hawkey 60s Pans.
I think I prefer the early Connery films but I'm also appreciative of what each actor brings to the role. Love Daniel Craig and loved Skyfall.
Cheers!
Probably the not The biggest Bond fan in Sweden but pretty close (there's a guy here
in Sweden who've actually adopted the name 'James Bond', so...) and I've been a huge
fan since the late 80's.
Best novels: YOLT, FRWL, OHMSS, DR NO, TSWLM, CR and DIF.
Best films: TB, FRWL, CR, TLD, OHMSS, SF and GF.
I'm an old lurker, back from the co.uk days.
My first Bond film, and always favorite is MR. So I'm an 80's recruit, my first Bond cinema premiere was Octopussy.
I generally like all actors and all movies (to an extent of course), and I've read almost all books.
A thousand miles & poles apart...
Welcome!
Favourite Bond is Timmy D, with TLD and LTK frequently duking it out with CR for top spot. But now Skyfall has come along and buggered up my long-standing top three. My first cine-Bond was TWINE. If I could remove one film from existence it would be DAF.
Listened to Geoff Love and his Big Bond themes for a couple of years before I ever got to see a movie. Probably a bigger fan of the music than the films these days. I can listen to the old soundtracks time and time again. Been to see John Barry at Albert Hall a few times.
Had largely given upon Bond throughout the late Moore, Dalton and Brosnan periods.
Always saw the films but always felt hugely disappointed ... and then they stopped making kids movies and started making films for grown ups again with Casino Royal ... :-)
By co-incidence my wife used to be friends with Maurice Binder, and had dinner a few times with some of the older directors and producers ... and ironically, she's not even James Bond fan. She only goes to see each new movie once out of curiosity, and can't understand why I want to watch them twice or more when they first come out.

I'm a faithful Bond fan from Southern California, in my late thirties.
My first Bond film was For Your Eyes Only, which I watched multiple times on cable back in '82. The first Bond film I saw on the big screen was The Living Daylights. Both remain among my favorite films, only partially for sentimental reasons. I first read Fleming while in college in the mid-90s, starting with Casino Royale, which remains my favorite Bond novel.
I've been a serious Bond fan since about the time I started reading Fleming. I was a regular on alt.fan.james-bond for a while in the late 90s and I've posted on a variety of Bond-related message boards in the years since. I've followed the traffic on this site for some time now and set up an account over a year ago. Of course, the release of Skyfall is what prompts me to now join the fun.
Perhaps because the aforementioned FYEO and TLD, I tend to prefer the more down-to-earth Bond films; other favorites include FRWL, OHMSS and CR. I also have a strange love for LALD, which I've probably re-watched more than any other film in the series since I first started collecting them on home video.
On a logical, empirical level, I acknowledge Sean Connery as the best James Bond. In my heart, however, I will always have special love for Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton, though I realize that being a simultaneous Moore-Dalton fan is a bit like supporting both the Lakers and the Celtics. Chalk it up to nostalgia for my 80s childhood.
Love what Daniel Craig's been doing with the role and can't wait for Skyfall to open here in the States!
Anyway, good afternoon!
This is the legitimate child of that great place, so you are among friends.
