  • Personally the only Moneypenny I ever warmed to was Lois Maxwell. Not fond of Bond or Bliss. Therefore I really don't care if they ever bring her back since essentially she is Maxwell's character. Same goes for Q. Well said Jaguar007 - none of th…
  • Why not the Cygnet? Hey, it's an Aston Martin :-)) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aston_Martin_Cygnet Oh no! Bond may not get there first in a chase (unless Q has got a hold of it), but will have the best gas mileage!! If Bond is looking for a…
  • For a Bond theme song, the best have always been the trio by Shirley Bassey, with probably "Moonraker" topping it for me (Dame Bassey's voice seems to get more velvety with age). I'd love it if they got her to do the next Bond title song, though I …
  • In relation to bringing back characters, one of the reasons that "Q" and "Moneypenny" were seen as likeable characters was the familiarity they brought, mainly because both were mainly performed by one main actor. Whilst it is not inconceivable tha…
  • Quoting Bond: If Brosnan had taken over in 1986 Quoting Bond: do you think he'd have been as good as Dalton was in TLD and LTK No - I've always found Brosnan to be more in the format of Moore, minus the Moore-humour and wit. Brosnan, coming from…
  • I kind of liked the fight in the landrover at the start of TLD - a vicious introduction to Dalton. In preference, though, it has to be the Bond versus Grant fight scene. I hope that #23 can benefit from the use of tension, rather than just out-and…
  • Quoting jaguar007: I would say this theory is most common in the Brosnan fans. I have found that most Brosnan fans are in their early to mid 20s. I have found that preferences of people older than mid 20s are all over the board, except most recogniz…
  • For what it's worth, I would suggest a sultry singer in the style of Shirley Bassey - Tina Turner did a reasonable job - Adele would be the obvious choice out of more contemporary singers. The song would have to sound like a slow, soul-driven, orch…
  • Quoting Master_Dahark: The action music from The Spy Who Loved Me- I know that was just the way music was back then, but it seriously makes a joke out of every action scene in that movie! +1 That Marvin Hamlisch score was in parts pretty uninte…
  • Quoting jaguar007: Craig has a bit more magnetism and charisma than Dalton. Thanks jaguar007 - I'd agree that Dalton lacked charisma and appears more moody and sinister - more like a hitman/assassin, rather than the suave secret agent (which (…
  • Quoting Shark: Lalo Schifrin Lalo would certainly be interesting to hear. Likewise, I've always quite admired Dave Grusin's compositions. I reckon that it would be quite interesting to hear a more jazz influenced side to Bond. Regarding Grusin,…
  • I'd be quite happy with DA returning for Bond #23 - thought that he did a reasonable job on CR, although as with everyone else, DA ain't JB. I just really hope that the composer can collaborate with who-ever the title song band/singer will be (like…
  • I hope that DC can continue in the role for another couple of films. Still can't stress how disappointed I was with QOS, especially after CR being so good - CR seemed like a breath of fresh air to Bond (just a pity they couldn't get Martin Campbell…
  • Imagine if Bale was cast for both - turns up to Bond wearing his underpants over his tuxedo and a gun holster over his bat-wear :"> I reckon that Craig is doing a good job at present and hope that a decent script is in order for Bond #23 (and t…
  • For what its worth... 1 - Connery - essentially created the movie Bond with his hard action scenes, charm, wit, sophistication and grit, although he appeared to be "going through the motions" by the end of his era. Concluding comment - Connery - th…
  • Newbe to the site, here! In short, as others have indicated, QoS resides in the bottom 5 - and there are some mingers down there! However, I reckon that it would be more watchable if not better if they did an extended edition QoS - and get M to ta…
