Re: Universal Exports - The James Bond Thread

Great News! The Dacia Sandero.... er, sorry. Wrong thread.

A release date for Bond 23 (the working title) has been announced: October 26, 2012. Sam Mendez is set to direct. Daniel Craig and Dame Judi Dench are confirmed as reprising their roles as Bond and M, respectively. Rumored additional cast include Sir Anthony Hopkins and Javier Bardem.

If they're confident enough to announce a release date 18 months out, they must be pretty happy with the script.

Denise Richards was the least convincing nuclear scientist EVAH. Except for the outfit.

They've got a script this time! They started filming the last one without one.

One would hope they have. After all, they've had the better part of three years since QoS to develop it.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service; Goldeneye

Goldfinger, probably the best film of the three remaining, but it's the one I enjoy the least.

Good luck in choosing the winner whoever comes next, the two remaining are probably my top two...

by **Patrick** Thu Jun 02, 2011 7:39 pm

NOT GOLDFINGER! Oh, crap. I was really hoping that would win. Right, I'm setting my alarm clock to get up ultra early in order to eliminate the only story that should be eliminated at this point.

by **The Co=Ordinator** Thu Jun 02, 2011 11:39 pm

Too late Patrick. Probably to most people's horror, I'm going to get rid of OHMSS. Which leaves Goldeneye as the winner.

I am invincible! Laughing

by barnaby morbius Thu Jun 02, 2011 11:48 pm

goldeneye wouldn't be my number one but it's very good. go Pierce!

by Rich Flair Fri Jun 03, 2011 3:02 am

Goldeneye? Pah. That's democracy for you.

Let's have a coup and reinstate Goldfinger, which is the best one, and everyone knows it.

I completely agree, but Johnstone screwed it up!

by **The Co=Ordinator** Fri Jun 03, 2011 3:11 am

Shall we do the reverse elimination game (worst story) as well? Chose one to save every 20 hours, leaving us at the end with the least favourite.

Okay - I'm saving You Only Live Twice. I saw it at the pictures last year which was interesting - everybody was laughing through most of it.

by **The Co=Ordinator** Fri Jun 03, 2011 3:52 am

Any particular reason for the laughing Rich?

by Rich Flair Fri Jun 03, 2011 4:07 am

Like most Bond films it's stupid and absurd - and Bond is also an hilariously snobbish character. Big guffaws for the line where Bond talks about the proper temperature to serve Sake, the 'japping up' of Bond drew huge laughs, as did Bond being trapped in his chair on the plane by a piece of wood.

by **The Co=Ordinator** Fri Jun 03, 2011 4:19 am

Things change over 40 years+ !

I'm going to save the wonderful Moonraker. Smile

On Her Majesty's Secret Service- despite a crap bond it's a great film

by **Patrick** Sat Jun 04, 2011 8:25 am

I think Lazenby could have been a good Bond if we'd seen him in more movies. Apparently, he got bad advice from his agent. Bit of trivia: after Connery departed following You Only Live Twice, one of the actors Cubby Broccoli approached to take over the role was a 25 year old Timothy Dalton, who turned the part down because he thought he was too young.

Well, since OHMSS has been saved...

The Spy Who Loved Me is saved. Some wonderful set pieces, great imagination and Curt Jurgens. What's not to love?

Goldeneye safe. The bond film for my generation (and the film that led me to try and own the lot)...
