And the name of the new Bond Flick is...

But nobody's played Bond better than George Lazenby.

 

Lazenby aside, that IS one of the best Bond movies. Great score too. I own it.

 

Agreed and the new Bond appears to be the sequel, of sorts, to Casino Royale. According to IMDB, Giancarlo Giannini is back as Mathis and Jesper Christensen is back as Mr. White. Mr. White, as we last saw, was laying on the ground with a big gun pointed at him.

 

I still like Timothy Dalton, dammit!

 

The title comes from one of the short stories in Ian Fleming's "For Your Eyes Only."

They're trying to reboot the franchise, obvious with the throwback title to "Casino Royale," Fleming's first book. Now they're trying to adapt the old, unused titles to the movies.

 

Huh? A Stupid of Stupid?

 

Bubbler,
I was being facetious about Lazenby.

Not only is Casino oneof the best Bond movies, Craig, in my opinion, is the best James Bond since Connery.

The fight sequences were astonishingly realistic.

HC bought me a copy of From Russia With Love a few months ago--the second Bond movie, I believe. Watched it with my 19 year old son who's an absolute Bond nut but had never seen it.

I thought that the absence of any special affects and the fact that it's over 40 years old may have put him off, but he loved every minute.

Big fan of Roger Moore, are you?

 

I thought Live and Let Die was really good and the Man with the Golden Gun was too, but the rest of the stuff was crap.

 

I'm with you there.

 

I forgot Never Say Never Again (1983) Sean Connery comes back with Kim Basinger, doesn't rate more than a 5, sorry Sean.
