Er, that's it

Is it me or have the recent badguys basically sucked? I mean Bond is in serious need of another SPECTRE. A broadcast mogal or mutant terrorist is no replacment....

Depends on the mutant terrorist! Although I don't think George Bush makes a very good Bond somehow, and he'd never order a vodka martini even if they did give him the part.

Bond (as played by George Dubya): Hi there folks, the names Bond, James Dubya Bond. Just don't mention daddy.

Blofeld: Ah Meesta Bond, we meet again. Can I get you a drink?

Bond: Why gee thanks Bloey a Orange Juice would be just fine, with a dash of ice.

Blofeld: (looks shocked) You're not the real Bond. (reaches for the mask) Aha!

Bond (now revealed to be William Hague): Ah you have got me there Blofeld. All I wanted to do was save the pound, but you have spoiled my plot once more. The only thing I can say is that niether you nor Ken Clarke will get the better of me. (opens cigarette holder and smokes the room)

Blofeld: Find him someone, he's the one with no hair. (pause) Not me you imbecile the other one with no hair.

William Hague as Bond? That has a certain something to it.

How to people feel about the replacement of Desmond Llewellyn (Q)?

Personally, I'll miss him terribly. I think Cleese will be a decent Q in his stead, however.

Do pay attention 007...

What this thread drops off the actual page so people set up their own threads about best bond. As if my life as Tally man isn't hard enough.

Gradient,

If I remember rightly, the new Q is actually called R !!


Pinniped,

The phrase "He disagreed with something that ate him" does appear in one of the films, the "Living Daylights" I think, when Felix Leiter got married and was put into a shark tank. The bit of him that was left had a note left tied to/left on him with the phrase written on it, in blood I think - Not too sure how accurate all the details are but I've definitely heard/seen that in a film before!

Sad eh?

Bambi

Sorry, wrong film, it was "Licence to Kill", I always get those two muddled, which I guess says what I think of them.

On the subject of baddies, Louis Jourdan has to be one of the best acted. And the bit where the car doesn't start is simply brilliant!

Bambi.
