The Official 007 Quantum of Solace thread!

[replicant_argent]

I was going to go get the box set and put forth a timeline, but it seems unneccesary.
Of course, when I bought the entire Remastered Ultimate Complete 21 movie set, last year, I knew of course that hey would probably release the bluray versions soon.. (like as in last week, I believe, first set of 6).
I don't have a bluray player yet, so it doesn't make me feel bad.... well...



Dammit.

During Timothy Dalton's third movie (all bonds pretty much sign a 3 movie deal), there were legal battles between UA and Eon. Once the legal battle was over, they tried to get Dalton back for his third, but his contract had expired and he decided not to do it.

Now what the legal battle was about... idk.

[Whee]

The hype has begun. Cigar Afficianado and Playboy bith have interviews with Daniel Craig and other Bond tidbits. One has more "bits" than the other.

my favorite Bond is Connery, and not just because I was named after him. (yeah, my mom was smitten). Although Craig's is more true to the character of Bond.

Neber could get into Dalton or Moore and I thoughtI would like Brosnan more than I did. Guess I'm just old school.

Nah your not old skool... you are normal lol.. in order:

1. Sean Connery (who can argue he wasn't the best bond????)
2. Daniel Craig
3. Roger Moore
4. Pierce Brosnan
5. Timothy Dalton
6. George Lazenby

Oh and yes the hype has begun... it started for me back in Januaray when they announced the title of QoS.

so they call it an official one...

But you sir would be correct...

(high fives you as a fellow bond geek).

Funny thing to me is... NSN was just a remake of Thunderball. Oh well... I am a fan of the whole series, although Roger Moore was my least favorite.

Discuss...

I'll agree with that mostly, I have a hard time putting Craig above Moore at this point. Some of my favorites were Moore movies.

I didn't know they were ditching the 'shaken not stirred' and other Bond-isms. That stings a little. Ok, a lot.

Yeah NSN was just a remake of thunderball... after it, MGM bought the rights to "james bond" so that it wouldn't happen again...

I find it a bit odd that roger moore is your least favorites. I think he did a great job and has a lot of good bond films. I had a bit of a hard time not putting Moore in front of Craig, but Craig did such a good job in CR that I had no choice. CR is one of the top 3 bond films for me.

Don't mean to be odd... its just an opinion!

I just never liked Moore's delivery of Bond's puns... and he didn't come across as physically imposing enough. I really liked Roger Moore as "The Saint," though!

About the only bond I didnt like was Dalton.

Never Say Never again wont ever be a true bond movie in my eyes, I actually dont like it as much as the orginal Tunderball anyways.

My bond list goes:

1. Daniel Craig
2. Sean Connery
3. Pierce Brosnon
4. Roger Moore
5. George Lazenby

I read something recently (can't remember where) that said they're doing away with the catch phrases like "Bond, James Bond" and "shaken, not stirred." They still don't have a gadget guy like Q. Anyway, I think Craig is a welcome relief from some of his more recent predecessors.

one of my favorite lines in CR was "shaken or stirred?" "does it look like I give a damn!?!"

Wasn't it contract negotiation problems with Brosnan because of Remington Steele?

I don't remember what the dispute was, but it took several years to work itself out... and that is what led to the delay...
