Bond cannot smoke but can have casual sex and catch an incurable disease. Herpes or Aids. If it is irresponsible for him to smoke on screen then surely him having sex with a woman he just met like in the SF shower scene is not irresponsible also?…

Interesting @Getafix and brave of you! :) I will agree that new Bond definitely shows a more sinister operation. It is definitely in line with a Great Britain that has surveillance cameras everywhere and famous scientists end up dying in very sus…

Indeed @Bain123 Any actor will tell you even the most successful that luck or good fortune is a factor in the movie business. Dalton if he had any on set tantrums were tiny compared to Connery. Connery did not even want to see Saltzman on set. An…

I have to say Brosnan to me was clearly the better Bond. TND alone proves this. He is leagues better as an actor than Lazenby. Lazenby did great with no acting experience but he lied his way into the part and ultimately it shows on screen. Physic…

thelivingroyale wrote: @accopola I agree, I'm not sure why they didn't just cast an older actor. But I didn't mind the new one. I agree with you on LTK, the Q scenes were great there. I think LTK had the best Q scenes of the series. They…
