I have a soft spot for Brosnan because he was the first Bond I saw in theaters, but I can’t deny that there’s an element to him that feels like you’re watching the video clip that plays on a loop while waiting in line for the James Bond Stunt Spectacular show at an amusement park.

I dunno, I always felt like Brosnan fit my idea of what Bond should be more than any of the others aside from Connery and maybe Dalton. Suave and sophisticated, but incredibly competent when called to action. Moore had the charisma but I never really bought him as the guy who gets these impossible jobs done. Craig is the opposite, I totally buy that he can pull off the secret agent stuff but he's a bit lacking in charisma compared to Brosnan. Lazenby I just didn't like on any level.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_Bz2aQuOFI&t=50s I think this scene is Brosnan being an absolutely perfect Bond, from setting to perviness to professionalism to smugness to stone-cold efficiency.

Brosnan should have played Simon Templar instead of Val Kilmer. Kilmer could've played Thomas Crown to compensate.  (I've said before that I'm half-convinced that the Thomas Crown Affair remake was conceived with Connery in mind.)

The best part about the Goldeneye theme besides the naked ladies you're allowed to see when you're 10 is how Tina Turner seems to be singing as a Trevelyan who's gay for James Bond And I haven't seen this movie in like 15 years but if I remember right Trevelyan never showed interest in any women except as tools to get closer to Bond Come to think of it, a lot of Bond villains either seem to just want women as status symbols, or have some kind of sexual pathology. Maybe that's on purpose to contrast to the protagonist who just earnestly loves loving

Bond's Handler(?) is giving him the 90s woman "oh you" expression. You know the one I mean You'd think they would know better than to send a woman to evaluate him. I like to imagine he's such a lovely secret agent that he only keeps his job by seducing everyone who could give him an honest performance review. Wait a second that's the actual plot of Skyfall

In the area fired on by the Goldeneye everything starts exploding, from computer monitors to chairs. Just like the video game

james bond doesn't enjoy loving, at least not all iterations of the character. many of the actors played the seductions as perfunctory, just another part of the job

Connery and Lazenby definitely enjoyed loving. With Moore it was more like that he lived in an universe where sex replaced the handshake or something, it was just what you did before even having a conversation with a member of the opposite sex. Either that or an old English grandpa was somehow the most irresistible human being alive. In Octopussy there's a moment where a woman who has known Bond for the course of a 30 second standing conversation decides to take a knife for him, its nuts. Dalton and Craig's Bonds put the mission first and only gently caress for Queen and Country. Brosnan's Bond probably only seduces women so he can watch himself in the mirror like Patrick Bateman.

Bond in the novels always seemed to go on about how he'd absolutely fallen in love with the Bond girl of the week (or thought he had) and was contemplating leaving the service for her. Although she disappears between books, Tiffany Case lives with him for a while between Diamonds Are Forever and From Russia With Love, which you'd never see in the movies.

Die Another Day is a great song. It is an awful Bond theme, however.

Yeah, Bond is weirdly celibate in QoS; I think he finally sleeps with Strawberry Fields and then finds her covered in motor oil in that ham-fisted Goldfinger callback, but besides that he keeps it in his pants.

Probably due to how it's such a direct follow-up to Casino Royale, so Bond is supposed to be distraught over the loss of Vesper and focused on revenge.

I'm a grown man, whose fiance was murdered in front of his very eyes, so excuse me for needing some time to grieve. Rip Riley: By tending bar and banging newlyweds?
