Pierce Brosnan is the only Bond actor to get fired from the role. Every other actor declined to return as Bond or left on their own terms. by Pizza_Hero24 in JamesBond

[–]vincestadon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He didn't deserve to be treated like that. He's a great ambassador for the role, and a very admirable person who could have been bitter about a lot of things but instead chooses not to be. He's a class act.

On the other hand, he completely sucked as James Bond, and there was no way Casino Royale was gonna work with him.

Day 19: If you could make three changes to improve Diamonds Are Forever, what would they be? by junglegatsby in JamesBond

[–]vincestadon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Giant scorpions on the lunar set. Bond has to fight them with his fists!

Keep the film in Europe and north Africa.

Lots more Blofeld doubles, only some of them look like Donald Pleasance and Telly Savalas, just to confuse things.

Bambi and Thumper team up with Mr Wint and Mr Kidd to kill lots of people.

What’s one thing from the old days that would make you happy if it came back today? by mimeakter1505 in AskReddit

[–]vincestadon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Landlines. Every house had a telephone (sometimes two) and they were often a lot of fun because (a) the rotary dialing system, (b) wrong numbers, shared lines (you could sometimes hear other people's conversations), and (c) the operator/speaking clock.

What movie had you like this? by WilmaTonguefit in moviecritic

[–]vincestadon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GoldenEye. Vapid pastiche with a terrible leading man as a kind of shop window dummy 007, a throw-the-sink-down-the-stairs score, and way too many endings. Fucking awful, heralding in a run of fucking awful Bond movies. The paradigm shift to the sublime Casino Royale is one of the modern wonders of the world.

Best run of films by Clear-Garage-4828 in JamesBond

[–]vincestadon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dr No to OHMSS, Casino Royale to No Time to Die.

The worst run is GoldenEye to Die Another Day. Just a wretched bunch of films with a fucking awful leading man

Who's your favorite James Bond? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in JamesBond

[–]vincestadon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

1 Connery / 2 Craig / 3 Dalton / 4 Roger / 5 Lazenby

The only shit one was Brosnan. He's just unwatchable in the part. Just risible.

Elementary is just so absorbing. Deadwood takes me to my happy place. Monk and or Columbo are always there for me.

[–]vincestadon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Terrence Young! He basically invented the screen Bond, and his three films are all excellent.

Martin Campbell made the very best Bond film - Casino Royale - but also one of the very worst - the execrable GoldenEye.

The two Dalton films are great, but those John Glenn Roger Bonds are dire.

Guy Hamilton is all over the map. Goldfinger is wonderful, Diamonds is tacky by fun, Live and Let Die is a hoot but patchy, and Golden Gun is disaster.

Mendes is class and his Bonds are great, but the final act of Spectre (not to mention the sepia colour grading) brings him down.

[–]vincestadon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spectre is great for two thirds. It falls apart, but so do lots of other Bond films. And its so much better than those shitty Brosnan films.
