Is it a cop-out? Low-hanging fruit?

Always fun as a time-waster but they can also get to be pointless, inconclusive, and cheesy.

Furthermore, Orion Team seems to have all-things-Bond well covered. So, I'm tempted--but at the same time, leery of going down this road. Also, I don't want to hear 'newish' Bond gossip mixed-in with 'classic' Bond gossip.



What do you think?

Well, I wouldn't say that I have all things Bond covered. I do more of the contemporary stuff and you do the classics. Perhaps limiting discussion of Bond on this group to either the books and films (regarding the latter, maybe up to a specific actor like Connery and/or Dalton) would do the trick.

can't beat this style, no matter what they do these days. nothing compares. Just look at that car; look at that suit. that tie. the simplicity of it all. no bulging muscles; no hype.



The cars on the road in our era look like triangular wedges of cheddar cheese food. You can't find a chrome bumper on 'em. I have zero interest in any chase scene which features Dodge Neon, Dodge Prius, Ford Escort, Plymouth Voyager, Ford Probe, etc etc etc

Is Daniel Craig even British? Bah..
