Count me in as Brosnan fan.

I loved Brosnan as Bond. Goldeneye was great, but the movies got progressively worse.

I watched Dr. No and was struck by how slow and boring it was.

Liked the movie, think Lazenby was a mannequin, but love, love, LOVE Diana Rigg. She makes up for a lot.

Yup.

Connery frequently seemed like a brute. And was therefore the best. I have hopes for Craig because he looks brutish. I do like Brosnan, although I only saw the first two because I don't see movies much any more. The Moore movies are mostly embarrassing. Live & Let Die is still fun, but that's what started them down the road of goofiness.

I do still have a soft spot for Christopher Walken as a "sadistic Nazi KGB entrepreneurial genius." HBO kept describing him that way when they were running View To A Kill, and it made us laugh every time. Hilarious commercial. Terrible movie. Great theme song, though.

I just watched Casino Royale a few weeks ago. Terence Cooper was pretty hot.

I watched Dr. No and was struck by how slow and boring it was.

The thing I like about the Connery movies is that they actually make something like sense. I'd seen them on TV so much growing up that they were like background noise, but occasionally when Spike runs them I'll watch one and try to really pay attention. Turns out that he's following up on clues and stuff. I had no idea.

Here ends my Bond-related brain-dump.

I love Dr No! It's the only one I own. Rocking movie. And that's not just jingoism.

My favorite Bond film is Goldfinger. It has Oddjob, "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!", the wonderfully named Pussy Galore, and all the elements that make a classic Bond flick without being too over the top.

Um, Pussy Galore isn't over the top??

My top is lower than yours.

Well, the name is, but the character wasn't, as opposed to Famke Jansen's Onatopp in Goldeneye (killing guys by crushing them with her long legs?).

And Pussy Galore is no more over the top than Moonraker's Holly Goodhead.

Plus Pussy Galore was Honor Blackman aka Cathy Gale, John Steed's first kick ass female side kick.

I loved Emma more, and Diana Rigg was definitely the better actress, but Cathy WAS all that and a bag of chips, too.

Thankfully, Linda Thorson was never a Bond girl. It's a shame Joanna Lumley never got to. Also a shame that MacNee's only appearence in a Bond film was with Moore in A View to a Kill.

I was just reading a review of Ronin, and the reviewer pointed out that the film has three Bond villain actors in it (Sean Bean, Jonathan Pryce, and Michael Lonsdale).

Can anyone think of a movie that has more?
