    Quantum Of Solace.

    I like but also dislike a chacter a bit. What he looks like a mix of hinted some things & dangerious. (We have people everywhere) In CR he look like a hero and Mathis somebody with a big mouth, in QOS it is the other way around. let's hope Eon whant only to play a litle bit with us like Mr White did.

    I vote CR. I simply love the shot of White killing LeChiffre. I like his pose. With that, CR narrowly wins.

    Entry #27: John Cleese as R/Q

    Die Another Day.

    I think the Q scene was rather enjoyable, and marked the turning point for the film. Cleese seemed very comfortable in the role, and the banter between him and Bond seemed very natural and the transition from Llewelyn was pulled off very well.

    DAD easily.

    He says 'zipper' instead of 'zip' in TWINE - way too Americanised for me and it winds me up big time,so i mute it .

    Die Another Day. I liked the Q scene in that film too.

    I will say DAD too.

    In TWINE I feel like the comedy didn't work at all, plus it interferes with a beautiful Bond - Q moment (the real Q that is). In DAD, by contrast, I had a jolly good time with this moment. Cleese performs rather well IMO and the lines were great!! I even like the introduction of the car - I mean it - AND I even like Arnold's teasing little cue when we see the car for the first time. So absolutely DAD.

    Die Another Day....his character didn't seem to work much in TWINE.

    One dimensional englishman 'character actor' John Cleese?

    DAD... but if I had the choice none of them. Basil Fawlty as a resourceful genius?..what next? A hot female from 'Wild Things' as Nuclear Scientist?..oh wait! that happened. ha ha
    My personal (and only) pet hate of the entire Bond franchise thus far.

    (Settle down now Aubergine or you'll get a fly in your soup!) :-)

    I didn't care for him in either but I'll say TWINE just because the real Q was there to carry him.

    Twine. Sometimes i am curious what there have done if Cleese whasn't introduced in Twine. Have there yused Bill Tanner (Michael Kitchen) for the VTR scene and Bond get the car from him.

    DAD, because his role was better and he wasn't the punchline of a joke.

    Oh the agony of choice! :-)) I have to say TLD. I'd go round and listen to Barry Manilow anytime...Shame she went from Bond to Whiskas adverts!
