I think Bond is God. After all, Bond is omnipresent in these forums

Bond is no longer omnipresent. Once you could post at 3:16AM, and Bond would be quick with a come back. But Bond has not been seen for days. Has you forsaken us, my lord?

So if God is Omnipresent and so was Bond, it follows Bond was God and thus, if there is no Bond does it follow there is also no God?

George Lucas cannot be God because Chuck Norris is God.

[Bond]

Hark, my children; I have come again...

Chuck Norris, as you so foolishly state, is not God.

Daniel Craig is, however.

[optimus_prime]

Has Lucas, by accident rather than design, created his own cult or boys that never grew into men? Why do some of us grow up, and others not?

Has George Lucas replaced God in the mind of some impressionable children cum man-children? (* The male brain doesn't mature until age 25. Source: Scientific American).

sounds more like some sort of hormonal medical disorder rather than a brash obsession for space opera.

Craig is a nobody. Before he did Bond, no one knew who he was.

The same goes for Connery, Lazenby, and Dalton. Q.E.D.

Which (somehow) proves that Bond is homoerotic and not God.

Is there a difference?

Best Bond: Connery in _You Only Live Twice_. They should have stopped there.

Isn't everyone in the British Secret Service Gay anyway? Not that there's anything wrong with it. Heh heh heh. I just read that in 1953 the CIA's first man in Moscow soon after arrival was slipping it to his house maid. The only problem: His housemaid was a KGB Colonel (presumably a female one?), there were embarrassing photos and after that he was on the payroll. Real life can be funnier than Austin powers. http://www.smh.com.a...5647743542.html

Isn't it better to have an unknown? Otherwise everyone goes 'HEY LOOK! IT'S JIMMY SMITS!'

You're kidding, right? Out of the six '60s Bond movies, You Only Live Twice was the most removed from the books. To me, its rather laughable qualities make it the Bond counterpart to the film version of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Yeesh...

If you want a real Bond movie, I'd choose between Casino Royale and On Her Majesty's Secret Service; both of them, I feel, were excellent and well-hewed adaptations of the books.

Read the Book, and wondered what Fleming was on when he wrote it :-)

What's a Harry Potter?

OMHS was pretty good, but did Laz make a good James Bond? He was a bit namby pamby. A 'made for TV' Bond if you will. Connery was brutal, merciless, wry and quick witted. He fought the way I'd expect Bond to fight. The others fought too wussy. Never cared much for Pierce Brosnon: I kept thinking "HEY LOOK! IT'S PIERCE BROSNON! THE REMINGTON STEELE OF JAMES BOND'S, OOOH AND LOOK AT THE COMMERCIAL TIE INS."

Sean Connery: Orders Martinis because he likes them.
Roger Moore: Orders Martinis to impress others.
George Lazenby: Orders Martinis because it's in the script.
Timothy Dalton: Orders a Scotch instead.
Pierce Brosnon: Served by a CGI assasinbot who declares "HEY LOOK! IT'S REMMINGTON STEELE!" and gives him a BMW brochure with his order.
Daniel Craig: I'm not in the bar when he orders.

Never saw 'Casino Royale'. Stopped watching by then. Lucas taught me you have to know when to walk away from a sequel.

In conclusion: George Lucas is God.

But Casino Royale isn't a sequel; it's a reboot of the series, with Craig's Bond having just got his licence to kill. If you ask me, it's a damned good film. Being the first Bond film I ever saw at the cinema, for me, Daniel Craig is the definitive Bond.

As for You Only Live Twice the novel, at least it didn't have such ludicrous plot elements as a fight with a sumo wrestler, dripping poison down a string into Bond's mouth, and a lair hewn from a island volcano.

Reboot? Well, if it is, good. The franchise had turned into a complete joke, reaching its depths with the last Pierce one. Mein Gott that was bad, which is why I ignored this one. I want 2 hours and 15 minutes of my life back.

I loved it! To each his own I guess. Perhaps our Midichlorians have different polarities.

Well, you should at least rent it; it's directed by Martin Campbell, the guy who made GoldenEye. It's a lot more gritty and realistic than Die Another Day, thankfully, so you don't have to worry about Mein Gott.

Tripping acid has to be more realistic than Die Another Day. Didn't care much for GoldenEye either though: It was a Roger Moore Plot with a Remington Steele Bond.

Good! Otherwise you'd have to shut down this thread for being sooooo off topic! :-)

All right, then; I've just heard that it's the general consensus that GoldenEye is Brosnan's best Bond movie. Casino Royale, however, is really freakin' awesome. Sure, they change around traditions with the gunbarrel, but the theme song packs a wallop, and at least it doesn't end with the hero once again snogging the Bond girl in some secluded location. Yeeesh...

Don't worry; I've already set up a topic where we can discuss this:

I'll be waiting.
