I watched GoldenEye a couple nights ago, and I think I'll be avoiding Brosnan Bonds until I finish up the rest of them. It's not really his fault, but the writers of the film. I don't know if the rest of his Bond movies have the same writers or not, but I'm pretty sure GoldenEye is his most well thought of. The dialogue was pretty terrible. I know with Bond you are supposed to suspend disbelief, but the very first scene has him free-falling into a plane that was also free-falling, then piloting it away from the certain doom of an inevitable crash. I wasn't feeling that.

As for a deadline: end of April, end of May...who cares? Feel free to pick one. Maybe there will be more interested people in a month's time, but I doubt it.

Greetings.

Just a suggestion: Put the voting on hiatus. Use this thread to discuss Bond goodness, finish up watching the rest of the Bonds, pimp the hell out of this thread (put in your sig, drop *casual* references to it in other parts of the forum where it can be crowbarred in, etc.) and hopefully in a months time or so, we can get this running smoother. I'd love to help out if I can. Or maybe we could even expand this from simply Bond to an overall action or spy vote. I don't know, just anything to pique interest.

Another real life stunt.

Its shown on the 2 disc edition how they did it.

So the guy actually fell faster than the plane to catch it, then flew it up? My problem with it wasn't how it looked, just that it seemed soooo improbable that I was taken out of it.

And the dialogue was still terrible. :tongue1:

No poll anymore. Maybe we should merge the Bond threads.

Has to be said, but I consider Skyfall to be the pinicle of Bond that has to be tough to surpass.

No, do the poll with the votes you have.

Remember this is a cult films forum, Bond is mainstream. Jiraffe Justin only had four more entrants than you say you have and that was for 80's horror.

It was still entertaining though and the results interesting.

Don't be so defeatist Prince. :)

One of the best Bond flicks, I agree.
