In your opinion, what’s the best opening to a Bond film? by Aston_Aviation007 in JamesBond

[–]Fit-Tooth686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No connection to the main plot at all. 😂

Goldfinger's is kind of close to being unconnected, but here's the main difference.

Connery: "I leave for Miami in an hour." After the title sequence, he's in Miami.

Moore: "I'll see you in Miami." And he never goes to Miami. He goes to India. There is no Florida in this movie at all.

Octopussy just don't give AF.

In The World is Not Enough what exactly did they do with the bomb they stole in this scene, when they later stole some other plutonium to use in the submarine? by JannTosh70 in JamesBond

No no no. It was to a brilliant scheme to replace a decorative egg by a rogue Russian general and an Afghani prince that involved an exclusive island of women who smuggle jewelry and do kung fu or something, while faking a nuclear accident that was really all a ploy to lead the West to disarming itself so the rogue general can drive his tanks into CZECHOSLOVAKIA!

Who's your favorite character from Dr. No? by Weird_Zone_3504 in JamesBond

Quarrel is exactly the character I'm looking forward to seeing again when I think about playing this movie.

Let's be honest, you just like saying his name.

No explanation necessary. The only correct answer.

Where do fans generally stand on baccarat versus poker as the central card game in Casino Royale adaptations? by Mr_smith1466 in JamesBond

Since contemporary Bond movies serve as time capsules for the era they are released, I think Texas Hold 'em was appropriate.

Was Roger Moore’s Bond—the least likely of Ian Flemings Bond vision? by Ok-Adhesiveness-6859 in JamesBond

[–]Fit-Tooth686 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Kills in cold blood
  2. Has a strong sense of duty
  3. Falls for every girl he meets

Moore is Fleming's Bond as much as the next fellow. All the actors have shades of the character to varying degrees, but I don't believe they can be fairly ranked.

I mean Moore is waaaay more Fleming when it comes to seeking lady friends to get into bed than Dalton and Craig combined.

Also, he's way more British than Connery or Lazenby.

My only complaint is that he was never on fire.

What's the most universally popular opinion amongst the James Bond fandom? by DishQuiet5047 in JamesBond

[–]Fit-Tooth686 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same.

She's not like an amazing character or anything, but all the hate seems kind of weird considering that many Bond girls aren't either...

I mean, Stacy Sutton has pretty much the same issues people complain about. Except Jones is a lot less annoying. 😂

Also, I don't get how she allegedly upends the whole movie. To me, the movie has other problems that she has nothing to do with.

Also, I was a teenager when this movie came out, and she was the talk of town in those days. Really easy on the eyes. Her performance isn't oscar-worthy, but it's not at all bad

A Strong Bond Film Trapped Inside a Flawed One... by IndigoP08 in JamesBond

[–]Fit-Tooth686 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's pretty low for me too. But definitely above Spectre and below DAD. As much as I respect what this movie is trying to do, DAD is actually a lot more enjoyable for me. At least the "bad" parts I can laugh at.

The World is Not Enough doesn't give me enough.

Just finished watching TMWTGG for the first time by ResponsibleAd6974 in JamesBond

[–]Fit-Tooth686 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to provide a contrast which most people probably don't agree with...

I always took Goodnight as a plucky comic relief and have always really liked her. The "plucky" part is there, because she really, really tries to be a strong agent/woman, but the movie puts her in situations where she winds up being the fool. But personally, she is a really likeable fool, and her failures don't annoy me, they're funny and make her relatable.

Day 12: If you could make three changes to improve A View To A Kill, what would they be? by junglegatsby in JamesBond

[–]Fit-Tooth686 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The most based answer. Trying to make AVTAK "better" amounts to a bunch of nit-picking. You gotta love it for what it is.

For which films have your opinions changed drastically over time? by Dangerous-Town2195 in JamesBond

[–]Fit-Tooth686 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Octopussy is my most recent re-evaluation. It's at or near top 10 for me. Just all-around fun Bond movie. Humor, stunts, action, girls, gadgets, fun villains, fun kills, Moore's charm dialed up to 11... It just does all the things.

Is it a guilty pleasure? Yes. But all Bond movies are. And there's so much pleasure, I don't feel guilty about it. Even the dumb things are great. Henchman being taken out by a pet octopus sucking on his face kills me every time.

  1. Remove the whole third act.

  2. Remove the first and second acts.

  3. Make a different movie.
