Random talk thread: real good talking about random stuff n that

[Stronzo]

I understand your point, but you can't say to me that Craig is a better James Bond than Sean Connery, that is blaspemy.

 

[Stronzo]

I understand it is a different interpretation, and I haven't read any of the books, but as far as entertainment goes, the old cliches of bond are hard to beat. There are plenty of ruthless killer types in other movies.

I can and I will. And I am.

Connery does have a very cool voice though. He probably would've made a good dark Bond if they'd written the character properly for him.

 

[Crimson King]

What's gotten into you, esti?

Pierce Brosnan did alright too, I guess.

PS. Liverpool to lose.

I get far more enjoyment and entertainment out of watching a dark, brooding Bond going about his work. I love seeing the real Bond up on screen.

Obviously it all comes down to what sort of character you see Bond as. I find the early shallow, cheesy Bonds just don't do justice to the depth of the character. He's so much more than a walking punchline. To reduce him to that is a crime against one of the all time great fictional characters.

 

[Stronzo]

Thats crazy talk esti.

>>>>>>>

 

[Keys]

I agree with Esti to an extent

Sean Connery was right for the time the movies were made and was easily the best of the Bonds.

Roger Moore I never really liked and the Dalton / Brosnan Bonds got over shadowed by the focus on gimmicks ( an invisible car FFS ) .

The new Daniel Craig Bond was great - instead of continuing down a well worn and boring path they stripped it back and reinvented it.

Looking forward to the next one

 

[Stronzo]

The next might well be the last, so you should try to enjoy it.

 

[estibador]

See look at that expression. It's all wrong.

There's too much humour and kindness in the eyes. We're talking about a cold-blooded professional killer here.

Now these are the cold eyes of a killer...

 

[Keys]

He's a got a longer barrel too

Why do you say that? Craig has reportedly signed a five film contract.

 

[Stronzo]

I think it is a bit silly to suggest there isn't any depth to connery's bond, if anything I think it is quite the opposite.

Craig is wooden. Keanu Reevesesque.

 

[Stronzo]

Plus he shaves his chest!!!

 

[estibador]

Craig is wooden. Keanu Reevesesque.

Haha bullshit. Have you seen any of his other movies? He's a very good actor.

He's just playing an emotionless killer that's all. That's who Bond is. Cold as ice baby.

 

[estibador]

Lol look at that last pic of Connery - he looks like he wouldn't beat a housewife in a fight.

Doesn't exactly look like a highly trained assassin does he?

 

[Stronzo]

I can't say I remember him in any other movies. He is pretty wooden in the bond movie, bloody pursing his lips all the time.

 

[Crimson King]

That was uncalled for Stronz. (The pictures above that is..)

 

[Stronzo]

Lol look at that last pic of Connery - he looks like he couldn't beat a housewife in a fight. Some trained assassin he is.

He needs no help in filling out his briefs though! Unlike some!!

 

[Stronzo]

Just to balance out the thread..

 

[estibador]

It looks like he's taken a dump in them.

I guess it would be pretty scary coming up against evil dudes when your arms have all the size and definition of a piece of spaghetti.

 

[Crimson King]

Aaaaaaaah...much better.

lol....

 

[estibador]

She would sooo prefer to sleep with Craig's Bond than Connery's. I can see it in her eyes.

 

[Stronzo]

I doubt Craig will still be a sex symbol when he is 60.

Is Craig even straight? Seems a bit.. You know... Funny..

 

[estibador]

How dare you talk about James Bond like that.

Why? Are you interested? Does his dark, brooding manner turn you on?

(FWIW he used to be married and has a daughter)
