Quote:But at least that one had a story line to it explaining that it was Apollo Creeds son doing the fighting, they didn't stick a young black kid in there playing Rocky.
I did say more or less...Same plot, unknown fighter gets a shot at fame, etc...Did have some funnier moments in it, though...
Quote:4 - Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and Spectre. I never thought he was that great an actor.
Casino Royale was the only one I thought was good out of all of them.

And how good it was. Possibly the best Bond movie ever.
I thought Skyfall was pretty decent. QoS was very meh, especially after Casino Royale. Haven't seen Spectre.

I had to shut QoS off after the first 15 minutes. I just wasn't feeling it. Skyfall was alright. I also haven't seen Spectre. After user reviews I didn't want to waste my time.
I admit I haven't seen any of the recent Bond movies but On Her Majesty's Secret Service was the best. And Lazenby was the best. Because that's just the way it is.

If I banned you right now no one would blame me.
I just received new information that may be disturbing to many of you. As it turns out, many of the actors who played James Bond may not be what you have expected. James Bond, of British decent, may have been played by actors of "lesser pedigree".
The lovable Pierce Bronsen, holding the baton from 1995 to 2002, unfortunately turns out to be NOT be British, but may be of Irish descent, which is clearly not within the confines of Ian Flemming's original vision of the character I would say. Think about it. This is an entire 7 years of wasted cinema due to a BOTCHED casting decision.
To make matters worse is the biggest fraud of them all. Our very own Sir Sean Connery. Turns out, not a Brit. Not a Britt at all, but a SCOTTISH man!
But how can a Scottish man play a character that is so clearly British? That is correct. He can't! It makes no sense! What's even worse is that Connery was their FIRST CHOICE. The first choice to play a BRITISH man in a movie about a BRITISH spy is a SCOTTISH man? How is this possible? And not only that. He actually played James Bond for almost a decade until they caught on and finally assigned a REAL BRIT to finally take over his duties.
But the thing that hurts me the most is that, not only was Sean Connery in on the scandal, but so too was the GREATEST JAMES BOND OF THEM ALL... George Lazenby.
My heart sinks that I have to say this. But it's absolutely true. George Lazenby. The great George Lazenby. The greatest Bond of them all, is also not what we think he is.
We'd like to think the greatest Bond of them all will also be a true British man. But it brings tears to my eye to have to admit that this is not the case. And that Lazenby is in fact not a Brit either. But he is, in fact, an Aussie. That is right, an Aussie. I mean, like Australian. From Australia. I mean like, he's from a continent, and not an actual country.
Clearly this isn't James Bond territory, this is not the true Ian Flemming vision, this is Crocodile Dundee territory. What have we been watching this whole time?
I don't know why I'm offended, but I am. I'm not even British, or coherent. I don't even know what I'm talking about, or if Ian Flemming is a real person. But I do know something isn't quite right...

Scots are Brits. Whether they like it or not.

I might be remembering incorrectly but I think QoS got hit by the writers strike didn't it? Basically the movie analogy to Heroes. I really liked Casino Royale and Skyfall.

Quote:1. Scotland and England are different, but Scotland is part of "Britain."
2. IIRC, in the books James Bond had a Scottish ancestry.
I don't even know who to be mad at anymore. :blink:
