One of these days I might request a copy of the new Bond movie from the library, but I have zero plans to spend a penny on the Bond series for a long time.


I don't think anyone carries VHS tapes anymore :mrgreen:


:lol:

True, true...guess I'll have to get a DVD or Blu-ray from the library then!

I am pretty sure that Sean Connery really was 007, and the other guys just played him in movies. :D

I've always enjoyed the Bond films when they came out but watching the old ones now, I seem more critical about them. I think the way they are written and acted out are tailored for the social and moral time of the day. (M is a women etc) I liked Roger Moore at the time but now I think he sucked a bit. For me as far as who plays Bond, Connery is where the bar is set and Craig to me is the one who's come closest so far.
It's an spy/action movie so the characters and story are for the most part implausible. Shortcuts in fact and characters need to be made to move it along or it could turn into a 6 hour bore fest. To enjoy them I think we need to ignore some of the fiction and accept the unacceptable. Although in Skyfall I saw no need to kill off M and shoot the shit out of the Aston Martin. :evil:
I don't watch that many movies but I will always make an effort to see the latest Bond movie.

But you'll watch it on your 14" CRT TV right, that should make the pic fuzzy enough for you to enjoy it. If it still doesn't work apply some vaseline to the screen to get that awesome 80s soft filter effect :D

Brosnan was my favourite Bond. Connery was very good as well, as well as Dalton. Never really got into Moore's bits too much. Craig on the other hand is brutal. His Bond lacks the character and charisma that previous Bonds have.

It's 27 inch CRT actually and this might make your head explode, but I just watched my Aliens letterbox on VHS the other day! Awesome!

Maybe if you wear a patch on one eye it would make it even more awesome. I also HD 1080p version of Aliens the directors cut and when ever I get bored I pull up the chair as close as I can to my HD tv and let it rip. After watching the directors cut the regular one feels like you're watching just the trailer for the movie :D
