What movies are you watching?

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

whatever they want to do with it, im fine. there is enough material there for sure.

I've only seen a handful of Bond movies, so I've decided to go through them. Watched Dr. No last night, which I've seen plenty of times. I'm skipping From Russia with Love because I watched it on tv a few weeks ago. Up next, Goldfinger, which I've also seen a bunch.

[VinylGuy]

Im such a big fan of Connery. He was my favorite as a kid. The only one, because i always kinda hated Moore. Never cared for Dalton...then, Brosnan came and i really liked it...then Craig. My definitive one.

Craig
Connery
Brosnan

the others

[Norah]

The only ones I can definitely say I've seen are the first three Connery films and Goldeneye. I know I've seen others here and there on tv over the course of my life but I have no idea which ones. I'm not sure if I've ever seen a Roger Moore or Timothy Dalton movie, and I know I've never seen any of the post Goldeneye movies.

[VinylGuy]

Goldfinger is a Connery movie.

[Norah]

I typed Goldfinger but I meant Goldeneye.

[E.H. Ruddock]

I typed Goldfinger but I meant Goldeneye.

Unreal

[Norah]

I typed Goldfinger but I meant Goldeneye.

Dalton actually made a very good Bond. Very close to the books. Just bad scripts.

[Rangi Guy]

Before Craig I'm not sure that I've watched any Bond films. I really should remedy that

License To Kill

Rewatch.

Done all in a couple of weeks. Only the Brosnan and Craig-movies left now.

[Anders]

Difficult to rank the Bond actors.

Chronologically:

Connory - the first, had the most style and charm, effortless quality, better in the earlier movies

Lazenby - made one really good movie, but he did play the role the most stiff, and was the youngest and least experienced actor.

Moore - his worst movies are probably the worst in the collection, but he was the funniest and most easygoing Bond, which at times worked great.

Dalton - excellent spy, most believable. Not very charming and witty. Sadly, only two movies.

Brosnan - a couple of poor movies, but did bring back the charm of Connery, and the wit of Moore, Goldeneye is a classic.

Craig - tough like Dalton, the movies naturally look better than ever, and he was in the excellent Casino Royale. Uneven set of movies.

As a kid I thought Moonraker kicked ass for Jaws alone. He's like a boss out of Resident Evil. Terrifying.

fuck yeah
