Anyway, the reason I present this ramble here is you folks probably like SuperScience Spy Stuff, so does this outline seem interesting?

Write it if you wanna write it. It seems like a lot of plot for just one story, but that depends on how you handle it.


I myself had an idea for a story about a secret apprentice to Tesla being hunted by various agencies to either keep his radical inventions under lock and key or use them to construct super weapons for the cold war. He's constantly on the move and hugely socially awkward, and the government has basically sent James Bond after him. His only way of getting his ideas out there is through correspondence with sci-fi authors like Gernsback to make them use his inventions in stories and detail how they work.

Living daylights suffers from very forgettable villains (just like for your eyes only, also a really good bond completely lacking a memorable antagonist) but Necros is a pretty amazing henchman

It was good, and I had forgotten what a great Bond girl Michelle Yeoh was.

I am a little confused at how when the bad guys are trying to break into Bond's car they shoot it and have no effect, but as soon as James dives in and starts driving it with the remote control the windows are no longer bulletproof.

I love how non-plussed sinister German forensic scientist assassin Dr. Kaufman is to have to ask James Bond how to unlock his car during this scene. "Did you call the auto club?" They really crammed a lot of backstory in for that guy during the few minutes he was part of the franchise.

Yes, it was right after "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". A little-known Lazenby feature. Featured the quest for legendary treasure "The King's Balls".

By the by, there actually five Brosnan films. The fifth one was called Everything Or Nothing, and instead of a movie it's a video game.

They treat it 100% like a movie, though, down to giving the player bonuses for doing things the way James Bond would do them instead of the boring way (e.g. ramping your car over a Mardi Gras float, using steam vents to incapacitate guards, giving a woman a back massage in the middle of a mission so she won't let anybody know you are using the secret door in her apartment, etc.)

Brosnan does the voice of Bond, and the supporting cast features both the voices and likenesses of Willem Dafoe, Heidi Klum, Shannon Elizabeth, Mya, Judi Dench, and John Cleese.

There's a great LP here.

When you think about it, Die Another Day is just a series of video game cutscenes.

Well that's certainly quite the cast. Reminds of the Batman Begins game that had Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson and Cillian Murphy doing full dialogue for it. In fact I think Gary Oldman was the only cast member who didn't come back. Always figured it must be the most absurdly stacked cast of any game ever.

Did anyone play the From Russia With Love game they managed to lure Connery back for, and was it any cop? I imagine not, he must have been on his last legs by then. Not so much shwarve shupershpy, more like a gravely grandad.

Nightfire was good but surprisingly short when I recently played. Like the storyline is 5-7 odd hours.
