Those Who Deserve Death
<center>"HI! My name is... What?
My name is... Who???
My name is... [record scratches] James Bond"
Live and Led Die? I've never heard of this.
haha, LOL. I've always wondered how Bond was able to do it with the ladies without getting infected, because you don't know how many men these Bond girls in the novel could've had "bedtime funtime".
Barb, Mike; we've got it.
I wondered, does Bond get himself check out for STD everytime he does it with a girl. Because HIV and Syphilis are no joking matter.
Well, in the world of Bond, they've probably developed those anti-STD medications that Quagmire used in the Family Guy episode "Road to the Multiverse".
And Skyfall is fitting for a Scottish house. Shatterhand would be more like a derogatory nickname for the villain, like Scarface for Capone.
I also like using Agent Under Fire (although I never played the game) or For Queen and Country (generic titles like that have worked before: OHMSS and FYEO).
Also, I was watching a few episodes of Star Trek (nerdy, I know), and there are some good titles that are ambiguous enough to work as a title I think and not instantly recognizable as a Star Trek title.
The Devil in the Dark
Errand of Mercy
The Alternative Factor
The Immunity Syndrome
A Private Little War

Hmm I like these titles I sense a paradigm shift in Bond films - a taste of death/more dark. i think the audience wants to see the dark side of Bond and these titles reflect that. They deliver.
Scorpius
Brokenclaw
Nobody Lives Forever
I really love this one! Though it won't happen now with 'A Good Day to Die Hard'
I mean seriously, you could call both Disabledappendage.
I think someone got lazy..
Not as lazy as having "Kill" or a derivative of "Death/Die" in too many Bond titles. Now THAT is unoriginal.
Which came first, Shatterhand or Brokenclaw. Obviously one copied the other. Like, you could take it to court as evidence-obvious.
and why does it matter if Brokenclaw is a rip-off of Shatterhand? Well at least it'll give more title opporunity for future Bond film titles.
Because he was paid to be original? Why are you trying to make this an argument?
If someone pays you to create an original story with original characters, and you steal ideas from another story.. that's alright?
Why would you accept that? Who are you trying to defend? What purpose do you have starting an argument?
Well Gardner did say that Brokenclaw was his least favorite novel when he wrote it, the character did sound kinda stupid and the plot was just idiotic for a Bond novel. If Brokenclaw does get a film adaptation, I prefer if it's a name of a bad guy plan not the name of the character. But to me, I don't care if the name Brokenclaw is a rip off of Shatterhand, I've seen stupider Bond titles or titles that don't make any sense:
Zero Minus Ten (what does that title mean, and how does it involve Hong Kong)
The Man from Barbarossa
It's hard to pass up an opportunity to argue with someone who has nothing to defend.
Apologies, perhaps I'm too cavalier.
Well you're not givin good reason why Brokenclaw sound like a rip-off Shatterhand, last time I check Shatterhand is an alias Blofeld used and Brokenclaw is the name of a villain who isn't anything like Blofeld, and the difference, Brokenclaw is a lame villain. Also as I said, I've seen Bond novel that has a lame titles (or titiles that don't make any sense).
Anyway I'm going to way-in on this Shatterhand - Brokenclaw fiasco. Since when did you learn that these are appropriate bond films titles? They make no sense to me. You need something like Die another Day and Tomorrow Never Dies because they have an edge and a double meaning to excite the fans - make you think.
As I said, any titles with "Kill" or "Death/Die/Dies" in it is everything but exciting. I think we can get original and think up scores of better and more fitting titles for the films.
A Monarch's Kiss
The Iodine Orchard
Services at Hand
The Alameda Orchard
Subscriptions to Death
The Bahia Minute
James Bond Returns
Report for Duty
Chasing Spies
Queen and Country
And on a more serious note:
Quantum of Revelation (Bond gets a lead to the whereabouts of Quantum HQ)
City of Golden Dreams (a real nickname for New York- aka 007 in New York. Points for the return of the word 'gold/en' in the title)
Licence Renewed (Bond is officially cleared for duty after the events of Skyfall- he passes all his tests)
Hildebrand (drop the words 'The' and 'Rarity' from the title)
