James Bond
Just curious... Who around here likes James Bond?
I do... Should I be embarrassed?

No not at all. I'm not a big fan but I can see why people like it. It's a bit exaggerated for me...

Yeah. A blonde Bond? Even Ahmet looks more like Bond than that new guy.

All Roger Moore films quality: Have you seen Moonraker?
I'm not too keen on Moore... think he turned Bond into a clown. Live and Let Die is great though.

I kind of like the Moore films and his tongue-in-cheek depiction of James Bond. Of course I'm a sucker for lots of movies from the 70s with guys
walking around in bellbottoms or gigantic afro's.
I thought all the Pierce Brosnan movies sucked. Lets hope this new guy is somewhat better, although it mostly depends on the script writing,

Hey kids! Do you hear that sound? . . . Freaks will be coming from miles around!

Thought Brosnan would have been a good Bond, he's got more charm than Moore... apart from World Is Not Enough, which is rather good, he was victimized
by poor scriptwriting... 60 foot tall waves in the Sea of Japan, Bond getting imprisoned for more than a year, DNA-transplantation, an extra sun being
hauled with love without considering global warming... and that's just Die Another Day!

Thought Brosnan was ok, nee' average.....Moore is the man for me, the English choice rather than the Scottish choice......

After Sean, Timothy's the Bond for me... but that's based on looks. Plus he's a great actor. I'm not too keen on Moore... he looks a bit creepy to me.
I like his accent though. Sean's accent pissed me off occasionally...
...worst bit being in Diamonds Are Forever, where he's pretending he's Dutch, exclaims Guten Abend (= German) and asks "Who is your floor?".

Best Bond joke IMO is with the belly dancer in Golden Gun, after James has sneakily stolen her lucky charm:
-I lost my charm!!!!
-Not from where I'm standing.

That's why I don'l like Bond. The jokes are so poor.

No, I really rolled over the floor at that point... almost anyway. It's probably different when you read a joke in the Dutch subtitles (at the same
time) which is even worse.
Translation is a hard job. Consider the following lines, as spotted in some American sitcom:
-How did you get here so fast?
-I've been choppered in.
This got translated to Dutch as following:
-Hoe kom jij hier zo snel?
-Ik ben in stukjes gehakt.
In English:
-How did you get here so fast?
-I've been chopped up.

I always liked the music in the pre-nineties Bond movies. Now it's like Bond goes clubbing in his spare time. They have to have the cheesy electronica
go reflect the hi-tech Bond.

Yeah... John Barry was superb. Though eighties Bond has some terrible music, "A View To A Kill" and "Living Daylights" (Duran Duran, A-HA) are
ghastly.
