Bond, James Bond: Thread of 007 Action
I like to start off any thread with stolen information from Wiki.
Quote:
James Bond 007 is a fictional character created in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming, who featured him in twelve novels and two short story collections.[1] The character has also been used in the second longest running and second most successful film franchise to date, starting in 1962 with Dr. No.
|
Well, I have sadly never read the books, something I have been meaning to do, I have seen the movies. And we can all declare that they aren't all winners. Though which is bad and which is good all seems to be relative.
The character has been played by six different actors in the past 46 years. Some have had short tenures, some have had decade spanning tenures while others left the role only to return for one last dance. There is usually no debate on who's everyone's favorite is, but there would be.
In this thread, in honor of his 22nd movie, Quantum of Solace, we go through the cinema history of one Bond, James Bond. Starting with his very first movie Dr. No and ending it with the recent blockbuster Casino Royale.
In the process, we will be shaked and stirred with excitement, spills and thrills.
Officially, Bondtober (as I have dubbed it) will start Oct 1st while maintaining a pace of about 4-5 movies a week. With weekends off to catch up or whatever. But the thread is here so if you want to start early be my guest. And end late. As Quantum isn't due until the 14th.

My official start date is 10/01 for Dr. No.
Each movie will have a brief update when I watch.
Including trivia facts, opening/theme song and of course discussion.

Re: Bond, James Bond: Thread of 007 Action
It's times like now that I'm glad I have the entire Bond collection that I received as a Christmas gift.
I think I might start with the movies now since 4-5 movies a week might be a bit taxing considering that I have work and school.

Re: Bond, James Bond: Thread of 007 Action
And our resident Mixologist, Typhoid has also mentioned a Bond drinking game.
So for those of you who are 21 and over and would like to partake. You take a drink every time a Bondism/Bond zinger is uttered.
Trust me, you will know it when it comes.

I understand the love for bond, but psych is very important as well.
Anyhow, I have to watch the movies early due to work and checked out Dr. No earlier today.
It is a fine movie, but for those who haven't seen it, it is very un-Bond like. There are few snappy comments, fewer gadgets and while he does bed some chicks it isn't as bad as later movies.
A fun ride though

Re: Bond, James Bond: Thread of 007 Action
The next movies comes to us From Russia With Love.
Yeah, the second movie in the Bond franchise. Is From Russia With Love
Our man holding the rank of 007 is once again Sean Connery.
Our Bond girl is Tatiana Romanova
The villain is one of my favorites, Red Grant
This is the first Bond film with a pre-title sequence which is also one of the better ones in the franchise.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SLqD8Pa1uo
The Trailer from 63
And one of life's greatest mysteries
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDR6lv2dGTQ
The opening title sequence. Has an instrumental version of the theme, but there is an actual theme with lyrics at the end.
I also happen to like the theme.
So day 2 takes us to Russia. Enjoy.

Re: Bond, James Bond: Thread of 007 Action
I know this is late but since off for the weekend was personally gonna push the movie back.
Anyhow, I guess its my blunder for not typing this with my Goldfinger... Okay that was bad.
But the next movie in Bond-tober brings us to Goldfinger the man with the golden touch.
Our Bond for the 3rd time is once again Sean Connery
Our villain is Auric Goldfinger, who really is like the first gimmicky bad guy. Dr. No had an island and a hook hand, but he wasn't in the movie much. Red Grant was pretty much just Bond's physical equal where as Goldfinger is well in love with Gold
And where Red was a henchman and there were some in other movies, I mean Oddjob is the real deal here, and a hat that could kill
The Bond girl is one with one of the least subtle names, Pussy Galore
The Trailer for the Movie
The Intro Like mentioned with FRWL, it had a theme song, but it was attached to the end so really this was the first Bond movie that started the whole theme song/intro video sequence that has continued.
Actually, this movie started the formula for many of the following Bonds, but we shall all enjoy finding those today.
