thread music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWWwKDttHnM in 1951, famous english writer James Bond wrote a series of books based on his sexy (racist?) exploits in the British Secret Service, where he fought for King and Country. now, over seventy years later, James Bond continues to wow audiences young and old with his sexy adventures, on the big screen and in book form. there have been roughly 25 films of James Bond, some of them even good, and about 300 books, none of them good. James Bond fights lots of baddies on his quest for British Imperialist Dominance. and he always gets the girl!!! what are your favourite James Bond moments? I like in The Living Daylights where he says "Salt Corrosion"  look at this sexy fucker

I love Bond and bought the blu-ray set recently. Standouts were a friends first time with Moonraker and having a grand time with how that movie always makes the most baffling choice, scene to scene, and just gets more cartoonishly wacky over time. It's like self-satire, beautiful mess. You Only Live Twice with dad. The slow 70s pace, the rich depth of the settings. It was wonderful. Goldfinger for the first time with another friend, not mine, and they enjoyed it. First time for me with On Your Majesties Secret Service which is now one of my favourite films of all time. All inspired by No Time to Die, which I found had some significant problems but was overall a pretty good movie. I absolutely love these movies, despite the formulaic nature, because goddamnit it's a formula that _works_. Super good reviews here btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuLDNGQwzYM SRQ fucked around with this message at 10:47 on Aug 29, 2022 |

My favourite part of OHMSS is probably that bond doesn't even fire a shoot until the last 15 minutes. It also has a safecracking scene that's repeated, but way the gently caress worse, in another movie. My favourite more comical part is that Blofeld's whole plan is to surround himself with loose women knowing full drat well if Bond were to appear anywhere within 3km he would end up compelled to gently caress them, and by golly it loving works. It's almost a meta-narrative satire. SRQ fucked around with this message at 11:24 on Aug 29, 2022 |

sorry i was the rear end in a top hat that voted for the world is not enough. it's not the best one but it's so underrated - elektra and renard are fun villains - the skiing avalanche scene with the blowup avalanche protection gadget - the scene where jb adjust his tie underwater in that experimental submersible speedboat thing - the oil pipeline nuclear bomb scene with that high speed pipeline trolley thing - the buzzsaw helecopter that destroys valentine's boardwalk mansion - M getting kidnapped and breaking out of her jail cell with a clock (it may have also been her using the clock battery to get a message out or something) - everything in the submarine was super tense - denise richards did just fine and i don't care what anyone says it's not as good as goldeneye but it's way better than any post casino craigers that's for sure Pac and Cheese fucked around with this message at 11:28 on Aug 29, 2022 |

GoldenEye holds a special place in my heart due to it being the first Bond film I saw and the game being a huge part of my childhood, but I think Casino Royale is my favorite. However, I haven't seen every Bond film and I've been meaning to fix that.

I love the awful series that is James Bond. I'm the fucker who voted for Tomorrow Never Dies because something hits home about the whole plot being about a media mogul just wanting more views and monies. It absolutely points out how evil people and corporations can be to get that capitalistic cash money, but then ignores the whole premise that this is a dude who works for an agency for an imperialistic capitalist monarchy. It's so delightfully unaware and stupid I love it so.

Voted Goldeneye, suppressing my urge to go with the ludicrous (YOLT turning Sean Connery Japanese and teaming up with an army of ninjas to gently caress up Blofeld's amazing volcano base), the insane (Live And Let Die's batshit combo of racism and mysticism plus the greatest Bond song and greatest villain death), and the straight up excellent (Casino Royale, just a drat fine film regardless). I love the post Soviet setting and decaying iconography, Serra's weird score, the loving mental opening sequence with the bungee jump, base infiltration and cliff dive escape, Judi Dench in charge, Xenia and Boris, Sean Bean Sean Beaning, and Pierce just nailing things right out the gate. Something I always found interesting about the OG films was that despite being made at the height of the Cold War when so many other books and films were riffing on it, the Bond films almost always shied away from having the Soviets as the antagonists. More often than not, it was Spectre or some rogue nut doing their own thing playing everyone against each other. The main exception to this was For Your Eyes Only, and even then it was just standard statecraft trying to capture secret tech, not end of the world poo poo.

Spectre was a massive disappointment, but I think I actively dislike most of Quantum of Solace. I remember Diamonds Are Forever would be on cable a lot when I was a teenager, and while I don't think the movie is good it still holds a special place in my heart.

I was thinking just yesterday that it's pretty funny that the keycode to the lab in Moonraker is the melody from Third Encounters. Then Bond gases everyone in there

My absolute favorite is pretty basic: From Russia with Love. I think both of Connery's first Bond films are both better than Goldfinger. I also really like License To Kill. It's an underrated movie and Dalton is an underrated Bond. Least favorites are probably the string of Moore films after For Your Eyes Only. They're boring and derivative, and it took a much younger Dalton coming on the scene to breathe new life into the franchise after Moore was creaking along.

James Bond is a bad spy because he goes around introducing himself to everyone and is pretty famous cuz everyone is like "oh, mr. bond. the spy, right? your money's no good at applebee's mr. bond." and then he sexually assaults some lady and that's not what intelligence officers do.

Bond does all the distracting stuff in the bad guy's face stuff so that Felix and the USofA can actually do the real spy work that saves the world in secret.

i've seen all the bonds at one point or another aside from the most recent few but have a very hard time distinguishing them in my memory, it's just a bunch of random stunts and women covered in gold paint. i have a soft spot for goldeneye i think as that was the first i saw in a theater

I do remember watching a BTS clip with Michelle Yeoh talking about how she crushed the front of the motrocycle with her rock-hard glutes filming the chase scene

Let's also not forget the ending of Moonraker where the missile command or whatever have a live feed of Bond loving that lady and they're all "what is he doing?" and Q says like "I think he's attempting to re-enter her thoroughly creampied vaj with his semi flaccid old man cock, sir".
