Things Bond did you like to do

I must confess I like to throw things away like Bond did in CR when he discards the cellphone while driving to the Ocean Club. A gesture he repeated in QoS. I picked that up from him.

What do you like to do like our heroe did?

    How many cellphones have you owned, @JohnBarryFan ? Must be expensive.

    I'm the same !
    I noticed that i throw my mobile phone onto the sofa in a Craig-Bond way all the time when im walking past it and i have it in my hand.

    Also i sometimes catch myself out doing the Brosnan-Bond stare from the PTS with the bankers,just after he shot them in TWINE.

    The same old cellphones, but I tend to throw everything away like this; books, newspaper...call me crazy but it makes me feel good!

    I always have a good quip ready when I kill bad guys, and always wear a tux while strolling around in the desert.
    Nah, just kidding. I never killed anyone, and the one time I have been to a desert, I certainly did not bring my tuxedo.
    All I can think of is I do not like my eggs hardboiled, but that is not due to me being a Bond fan, mind you.

    Why is this news?
    If you must make a new thread for every thought that comes into your head.

    I like driving a BMW.

    I like wearing a rather worn brown jacket resembling Craig's in Skyfall.

    I've mastered making a sarcastic quip and walking away sternly, like Craig.

    I, too, do the phone/object throw.

    I do the Brosnan 'driving fingers' thing he does in TWINE sometimes unknowingly, and always immediately think of that scene when I realize what I'm doing.

    I also slam into stuff like doors, or grab walls and pendulum swing myself around corners as if I'm CraigBond in a hurry.

    Are you a misogynist dinosaur?

    Except the two first ones I'm with you! I giggled when I read about the "driving fingers" :)

    @Sandy, I'm with you there, as well. I think Craig runs like that (in terms of taking corners) in all his movies. If I run down a hall, and get to a point where I'll run left or right, I pause and look that way for a moment, and then take off. I also always throw my keys when I get into my room like Craig does, and I also walk exactly like him (not on purpose, surprisingly). In terms of the others, I smoke like Connery (though not as cool), I'll let off the occasional awkward sexual pun like Moore, and I do the curled finger hold right in front of my mouth like Brosnan does (see what he does when the masseuse leaves the room in DAD. That's what I'm talking about).

    At times, I'll angrily say something muffled under my breath while looking away from wherever I'm supposed to be looking, like Dalton typically does in TLD and LTK (best example is in TLD when Bond tells Kara, "Yes- I got the message", or when he tells Saunders "If he fires me, I'll thank him for it").

    When saying "thank you", I'll occasionally say it like Roger Moore does, in that light-toned and upbeat manner, with emphasis on the 'thank' part (best example of this is in LALD when Bond thanks the bungalow receptionist over the phone for the two glasses of Bollinger).

    I also borrow A LOT from Brosnan, which probably does not come as a surprise! For instance, I'll say something with slightly squinted eyes and slightly clenched teeth; or, I'll see an attractive female pass by and do the lip-eye combo thing, like in TWINE when Bond surveys the ladies at Zukovsky's casino.

    That's the @00Beast I know: proper way to eyeball a lady.

    I wish I could say when I beat up men with a towel and whip them down a stairwell, I pat my sweat off with the aforementioned towel.
