*007 reporting for duty.*
Been a 007 fan since 8 as my old man is a huge fan too.
See you guys around!

Check out the various threads, hope you enjoy yourself on this forum. By the way, I read AJB and CBn for years, but this is the only forum I've joined. I think we're a pretty good group; always some interesting discussion going on.
My favourite Bond film is Licence to Kill, and my favourite Bond actor is Timothy Dalton. The theme to On Her Majesty's Secret Service is my favourite Bond theme of all time.
My interests outside of James Bond include Star Wars, the first two Terminator films, Monty Python, Toy Story, The Incredibles, Yellow Submarine and Thunderbirds (the television series, that is). I also enjoy the odd bit of music between the 1960s and 80s, particularly The Beatles, Duran Duran and a-ha to name a few.
I've been visiting the site before from time to time recently, with the thread for the Bond poster and image parodies during the lead-up to Skyfall being my main thread of interest. As time went on, I felt that it was time for me to sign up on to the site and, well, take one giant leap for mankind into the big world. So here I am.
I look forward to enjoying my time here and get to know you all well.
Thank you for your eloquent maiden speech, sir. Welcome indeed, dear @GoldenDalton89! I hope you enjoy your time with us all here on MI6 Community.

You're very welcome, Alvin.
Best keep it here. I've been a member of both those (no more), and I can tell you MI6 is still the best, although I came to here late in the day! Better late than never, I suppose. I also post on BaB.
I hope to enjoy my time here and I'm glad to have finally taken the plunge and joined after lots of reading on this forum. I'm already quite familiar with some of the big names and frequent posters just from reading, and I hope to have many thoughtful discussions with all of you!
The first film I remember watching is A View To A Kill. I used to be a massive Moore fan, until I started reading the Bond novels. I appreciate the Moore films as standalone films, but as Bond films they lose their appeal.
My favourite Bond film is Licence to Kill, and my favourite Bond actor is Timothy Dalton - although pre-Goldfinger Sean Connery is a close second. The theme to On Her Majesty's Secret Service is my favourite Bond theme of all time.
My interests outside of James Bond include library music (especially from the Seventies and Eighties), sci-fi films and TV series, including Doctor Who, Star Trek and the Terminator film series. I'm also heavily interested in screenwriting and novels - as well as a wide range of films.
I've been visiting the site before from time to time recently, and have now signed up. I have decided to now reveal my true identity, especially on learning that Calvin Dyson is a fellow member.
As George Takei would say, 'Live long and prosper'.
To all of our new members.

Thank you for the warm welcome back, @Samuel001! Yes, I am quite a character! I'm glad to be back. It was a close-run thing there.
I'm new to the forum although not new to the MI6 site being a long time lurker.
Have been a Bond film fan for the last 30 years. Enjoy all the films in one way or another although some are definitely better than others. Roger's my favourite Bond actor as his films were the ones that seemed to be shown the most all those years ago and still remember being baffled as to who this Sean Connery bloke was the first time I saw him. Love reading/watching behind the scenes material and have recently been spending a lot of time listening to the film soundtracks.
I also have all the Fleming books but admittedly have only read Moonraker (I have the centennary box set and I dread taking a book out, reading it and then not being able to get it back in!).
Think that covers everything.
Hi @jaydubya76,
Great to have you here, friend.
MI6 is the best Bond site out there as far as I'm concerned so you've made the right choice there.
Hope you enjoy your time here.

Adolescents can be so unforgiving! But I do recall watching FYEO on TV with some of the guys in my dormitory at the University of Massachusetts; it was probably the first network broadcast.
Yes, well from what you've said it rather sounds like FYEO would have been your cup of tea.
As much as I enjoy both Spy and MR now, at the time, I threw my hands in the air. Rog was truly beyond salvage. His era just had to be waited out. Mind you I got myself to the theatres for his final 3 movies, but I went in with lowered expectations. I wasn't under any delusion that he was going to find his inner Connery or even inner Lazenby.
The Rog movies were Bondian enough, in fact very Bondian, but it always sort of grated that he couldn' t play the character tougher, and that each film had to have the obligatory groaner humour moments.
For me the most egegious was the Beach Boys moment in AVTAK. It ruined the pts. I wanted to walk out. Usually that junk came later, but they laid it on good and early that time. Then again, there was Jaws flapping his wings like a bird in the MR pts, but at least that didn't involve an actual Bond-in-action scene.
Actually I quite appreciate the Rog films now. They are among my favourites. Truth is, I am not a big fan of any of the three actors that followed him. I have quibbles with all of them, so the Rog films have stood the test of time in that respect. He's found plenty of company in the quibble department.
Alas,I am still waiting for a truly worthy heir to Sean. It does seem to require the patience of Job.
