It's obviously lucky that the films are scripted by people with similar views to myself

"What Bond? In one of those new fangled Aston Martin things? Never , they are brash and tasteless, he will always drive a Bentley ... Next you will have him in one of thqse brash omega watches that spacemen wear, do you honestly believe bOnd could turn up in Monte Carlo in an Aston Martin without his trademark Rolex?"


Luckily the writers in the past have made bold decisions ... Many bad but seriously ... You are telling me that all these Bond fans are protecting him because they first read Flemings spy books.... More likely they had a corgi esprit sub that fired missiles ... Or a gold (yes mine was gold not silver) db5 with ejector seat...


Was the esprit wrong?
Aston ejector seat ?
Little Nellie ?


IMHO anyone who says they love bond because of.Flemings deep moody characterisation and not the fantastic job that the film makers did creating an icon, is probably telling porkies.... Art, classical music, wine anyone

The choice of music
The opening sequence
The one liners
The unbelievable villains
The gadget

Etc etc etc



So .... Sorry to all those who are totally embedded in a retro bond past ... That was invented by forward thinkers have missed the point


Bond has always been about finding the latest technology and showcasing it... Generally real or based on fact


The fact that most of you didn't even know what a mono was sort of rules you out as you probably don't know what a rail gun is or if active cloaking technology exists ...




So I repeat ... BOND SHOULD BE GIVEN A MONO AS HIS COOL GADGET IN THE NEXT MOVIE
though I do concede that needs his 4 seat family car when he picks up the Finnish contortionist triplets for a long evening of twister...


Let the flames begin


BTW my next subject to upset you.... Ferraris should be hammered and not kept in garages and polished by people who wear chinos and sports jackets...

I presume this is some sort of a bizarre windup as nobody could miss the point so spectacularly, but still:

I (obviously) encountered the films first, as I child, around the end of the Roger Moore era. Then, aged about 15, I found a copy of The Man With the Golden Gun in a gite in France whilst on holiday. Despite being one of the worst books, it massively captured me and I read all of them after that and much prefer them.

The point being, even the literary Bond was something of a anachronistic throwback, driving a 'classic' car (for the time) and refusing to ditch his traditional habits and embrace a more libertarian 60's world.

Twice I can think of, the filmmakers have gone over the top with gadgetry and scifi st, and twice they've nearly killed the franchise, necessitating a return to a leaner, more traditional, brutal (and much bloody better) Bond.


To be honest, if what you like about the films is the fancy gadgets, I'm not surprised that you aren't interested in the books but I don't think you really 'get' the character or what Fleming was tying to make of him. He was quite clearly the lens with which a post-war Fleming viewed the world and that attention to detail was what made them so successful.

You sound like a teenage boy unfortunately.

You can't hold my age against me.

The books might be a good read ... Maybe I should try them one day ... Can I get them on download

[Satanael]

Question ... Delorean good or bad?

Not really sure what that means. I simply read them but I'm sure you can buy them for a Kindle or whatever as well.

[Satanael]

Ha ha ... I read them in that old paper stuff back in the day ... Before roger Moore had finished playing bond

However that was a long time a go .. I must have enjoyed them because I finished them and read another ...

But I think the films had more impact ...
