You’re missing out, John. Sean Connery was an awesome Bond. I strongly recommend going and picking his films up.

We have a member on Starbase Karma named Daniel Craig, but obviously not the same one. I remember before Casino Royal came out, he was excited that the new actor that played Bond had the same name.

I’ve only been watching Bond movies since Pierce Brosman became Bond. Haven’t yet seen any of the others that are older then that.

Lounge in cheek? Wouldn’t that hurt?

I just thought of something. Has anyone else ever realized that two of the most famous icons of British pop culture have had 17ish different people (depending on how you count both) play the part? Both the Doctor and Bond have proved that the character and the franchise are more important than any one actor. I wonder if that is a coincidence or if it says something about British culture. I just thought of that so I don’t have any real ideas.

I was lucky since my father is a huge Bond fan, having read all the books when he was in the Navy. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen all the films at least once and I can say without a doubt that Casino Royale is the best Bond film ever. It captured the Flemming hard core war vet type of gentleman spy that was written, while also maintaining the slightly lounge in cheek aspect that Connery did better than anyone. I’d still have to give Sean the nod for best Bond, but give Daniel Craig another few films and we could have a contender to the title.

I’m seeing a 4:30 show tomorrow and I can’t wait.

That doesn’t count as a Rick Roll. It has to link to the actual music video. So HA! I dodged another Rick Roll this week! MWahahahaha! I’m the James Bond of Rick Rolls!

AHHH, I’ve been Rick Roll’d!

I love Daniel Craig as Bond! He is actually the first actor to play him that actually looks how Ian Fleming envisioned Bond.
