will it be kino?

Denis is not good with existing IPs

MAYYYYYYYYhaps. Clearly, Villeneueve just wants to be able to say he directed a Bond movie and cucked out (no final cut, no real decision making power) and what will decide Bond 26's fate are the producers and writers they hire. He will just point the camera. It's a childhood dream but it really shat all over his auteur status.

>Denis is busy with Dune until late 2026 at best
>this means Bond 26 might release in 2028-2029
>over 7 years since the last one
Bond will be irrelevant forever. WEET IK.

>>212603870 (OP)
who will play Bond? Unironically hoping it will be this fellow

>>212604162
0 chance of that happening. If he wasn't Batman, he'd be too old. Anyhow, this is a null and void discussion since industry insiders have been saying for years it's ATJ.

>>212603870 (OP)
Bond is dead. Literally.

>>212603870 (OP)
He said his favorite Bond film was Casino Royale, so it's a slight sign of kino so far

>>212604325
It's a sign he will only consider Craig slop

>>212604215
>ATJ
I can live with that casting

>>212604215
>>212604162
Thank God. He can't act. No need for him to ruin yet another movie.

>>212603870 (OP)
I don't know. I'm not a time-traveler.

>>212604325
All bond flicks prior to that are unwatchable slop that only retards liked. So good for him.

Why can't it be a proper Scottish bloke? Like Connery & shit

>>212604325
Casino Royale is fantastic until they leave the casino. The last 30mins of that movie is just nonsense.

>>212604359
>>212604325
Nothing of what he says matters. He has no final cut, no deciding who plays Bond, all he has in his agreement is that he will be given the right to "approve" the script which is just saying he has no real power over anything.
>>212604365
Yeah he's good. All we need now is a good script that's like classic Bond and doesn't just rip off Mission: Impossible (which you know they want to do since the Craig era angle was copying Bourne). You need a good supporting cast and good setpieces on interesting locations. No personal drama, no themes about lame shit, no politics. Fun and adventure only.

>>212604465
Other way around. The Africa segment was great but I agree the Miami subplot was way too much. It took too much time from the casino scenes. They skipped it over too much. In just four scenes, Bond went from losing to winning. It's too sped up.

>>212604481
>He has no final cut
I actually forgot about the whole Amazon thing. If they couldn't let Danny Boyle do his thing for Bond 26, then this new era is gonna be incredibly safe crap.

>>212604462
Because Connery is a tranny, just like Craig T. Nelson is a tranny.

>>212604542
Don't jerk Boyle off to much. He still cucked out and let Bond die in his script (this was a 100 unremovable mandate by Craig and Barbara just to please Craig who wanted to piss off fans) and he would've had Bond be a supporting character in his own movie and imprisoned for most of it. Also, he would've made his female MI6 protege the main character. On the basis of that, NTTD sounds 100x better.

>>212604481
Bond directors do have the right to direct actors the way they please, sadly in this case Denis is notorious for shit actor guiding so they will do anything they want which might be a con if the new Bond is a pinhead like Craig or a pro if the villain is known for chewing the set.
>Fun and adventure only.
Very hard to pull nowadays given Bond is a political entity, we didn't see that aspect that much because his enemy was a "fictional" globohomo team of mostly jewish industrialists.

>>212604365
>ATJ
Lol, if only we were so lucky. It's some fucking faggot called Harris Dickinson.

>>212604594
Where'd you get all this? All I know from his iteration is that he wanted to set it in Russia and not have many ties with the previous entries.

The poker scenes are some of the dumbest.
>oh no, bond went all in
>oh wait, a straight flush is possible, let's just fold
>everyone has ridiculous hands, but not the highest possible one at the table and constantly calls everything
>how should've gone it down then?
I don't know.
Poker at a high level is just boring. They created this retarded shit, they can fix it. Not my problem.

I can already play a Villanueve Bond film in my head. Dude is the most one-note director of all time ever since he went down the genrepleb pandering route. It'll probably be good on paper but ultimately forgettable. A bunch of medium wide shots of blue orange garbage and filters on top of filters done in post. But this time it is James Bond doing Bond things instead of Dune man doing Dune things.

>>212604636
Denis' actor work won't matter if they just get someone who's charismatic and can just tell Denis to fuck off and he does whatever he wants on camera. Like you said, not a fucking dull dishwater NPC like Craig. ATJ fits that bill I think. He was amazing in Bullet Train. He could bring a new sensibility to Bond which has been missing since Brosnan. Ultimately, David Heyman and Amy Pascal decide on EVERYTHING. Denis is just a passenger and clearly a happy one at that.

>>212604639
for me its either ATJ or Pattinson anyone else and I'm out.

>>212603870 (OP)
I miss fun Bond.

>>212604636
>>212604724
Stop crying about Craig's Bond already. Jesus Christ. Such thin skinned fairies.

>>212604660
Confirmed by multiple people who worked on the film. As much as I hate Craig, even he recognized Boyle's version was way too subversive and deconstructive. But they figured they could get a leash on him midway through production but he proved too difficult and jumped ship. That set the movie back ages.

>>212604747
For me, it's only ATJ or this little known actor called Leo Suter some anons discovered a while back. I think this guy has a real, actual chance of being picked because he's younger (31) and has way less baggage/bargaining power. ATJ is simply too famous but I think Amazon is fine with that.

>>212604639
>Bond will be a dude called Hairy Dick in Son
Grim.
>>212604724
Well historically some directors were just figureheads so we'll see, this is the first time we will see a clearcut confirmed reboot so it's going to be hard to pull unless the series becomes a period one.
I just want Bond to be an operative like Connery in the first movies or Dalton rather than a mystical ninja like Moore or Craig.

>>212604767
Though I prefer Brosnan's "boarding school pretty boy turned government spy and natural born hero", Moore's "blue blood gentleman adventurer" was still pretty good.

>>212604767
Wtf this poster rules.

>>212604783
I am not talking to you homo, watch your tone
>>212604787
Interesting to see the main actor get so much leeway in the production, perhaps it was true that Craig was a toy boy for Broccoli, no one had so much influence, not even Connery.
>>212604819
>Leo Suter
Very classical but seems way too young.

I should probably just read the original Ian Fleming books.

>>212604847
The game has fucked up their only big approach which was to do Young Bond. Amazon is now a partner on the game so that set them back years. What do they do now with that avenue closed? Well, all they really have to do is do is....no gimmicks. There's a Bond who has a distinct personality and that's it. He goes on adventures and missions. This is the big problem plaguing Bond right now. Amazon is scrambling to think of gimmicks when just a normal Bond movie suffices. I think just looking at some "Bondian" pictures of ATJ (the most likely actor) you can immediately surmise his take on Bond:
>Boarding school navy bad boy with a devil-may-care attitude to life who lives for the thrill of being a spy and with little regard to all else but is not malovelent in any way like Craig and actually has a deep sense of justice (this is actually Connery's Bond description)
Ultimately, Bond should be an anti hero who is more good than "evil" and is a hero who saves the world only because he wants to get a bonus by MI6 and woo the girl. It's so simple and yet Amazon treats it like advanced math.

>>212604989
That's a very old picture of him, anon. He has grown into the role since then.

>>212604767
Man, watching the Moore movies after Craig is like drinking a refreshing ice tea after being forced to drink liquid mud.

>>212604365
His voice lacks aura
He needs to start smoking or makes something with his voice

>>212604878
Brosnan is the James Bond

>>212605042
>not malovelent in any way like Craig and actually has a deep sense of justice (this is actually Connery's Bond description)
To be fair Connery Bond was a piece of trash as a person so i don't know about "deep sense of justice", he just did his job very well and didn't betray close associates.
>Ultimately
Completely agree with that statement but sadly most moviegoers think he's a superhero, not a government hitman who likes to play with girls like he really is or should be

>>212605220
He can lower it and make it sound good. He is an actor after all. I watched 28 Years Later and there's a lot of moments where he puts on a deep Bond voice. He's fine.
>>212605272
Agreed. He has everything I need from a Bond all into one. The others are missing crucial things. He's the only one who's complete. I'd say he gives his best performance in TWINE.

>>212605272
he looks like he's had an easy life.

>>212605334
>To be fair Connery Bond was a piece of trash as a person so i don't know about "deep sense of justice", he just did his job very well and didn't betray close associates.
Well, there is him telling Dr. No to his face that he will kill him for killing his friend Quarrel and his colleague Dr. Strangways and a lot of other moments in his other two movies that follow that show that he's actually quite compassionate when it counts. But yeah in the other ones he's definitely a greaser.
>not a government hitman who likes to play with girls like he really is or should be
It really speaks to how culturally irrelevant Craig is that despite being in the role for far longer than Connery/Moore/Brosnan combined, when people think of Bond they always think of those three and their movies. Hence that perception (which isn't really true of those three but moreso cultura perception always seeps into exaggeration sadly).

>>212605108
Looks like he had some bad sleep, yeah he looks the role there, like a non-druid Brosnan. What about the acting chops
>>212605272
He just needed a good individual script after Goldeneye, he really was pretty complete
>>212605385
He has a bunch of scars, he just plays it cool like Connery did

>>212605108
This man can not play James Bond. The actor must at the very least be able to stand up to picrel

>>212605479
Once people put his name forth as a Bond, I went through his entire filmography and honestly? He's actually a great actor, lots of skill in drama, comedy and suaveness. He could DEFINITELY pull it off. Sanditon is this period drama where he acts like a youngster Bond. If you want to see how he fares, give it a watch on some pirate site and just skip whenever he isn't on screen.
>>212605479
I majorly disapprove of this post-Goldeneye narrative. All of his movies were fairly similar in quality and execution up until DAD which blew things up because it was a 40th anniversary movie and made in the peak of Y2K.

>>212605525
That's just being incredibly unfair. How on earth can you expect someone in 2025 to match up to the god Pierce Brosnan? For the purposes of a new Bond in this day and age, he fits the bill. Of course he couldn't even kiss Pierce's feet but that's another matter.

>>212605479
Goldeneye is the best bond movie ever period, but yes he sadly didn't get the best scripts after hist first film.

Enough about who will play Bond, let's be creative for once and say who should play M, Q or Moneypenny or any other Bond characters.

My strongest wish is for Lucy Boynton to play Mrs. Moneypenny like Caroline Bliss did it.

>>212605479
No fucking way. He's too good looking and looks like he never touched a dumbbell. Like Connery skinny legs

>>212605451
>But yeah in the other ones he's definitely a greaser.
I don't mind rape but Bond forcing his way with girls and them magically getting tamed, or shellshocked while he plays cool, is just bad writing and at the very least silly sidenotes.
Galore in Goldfinger and that one spa girl in Thunderball are such examples, risky shit to do in terms of context, those problems always appeared in the series, bad writing and plot armor like Red Grant magically forgetting all his training, funds and discipline for no reason.
Moore is more egregious in this regard, at least Connery Bond showcased loyalty to his friends like you mentioned.

>>212605641
He was so fucking good in GoldenEye. Perfect in every way. I actually did not believe he was a real person when I was a kid because he was way too cool to be real. Imagine my surprise lol. Anyhow, the movie itself is perfect in every way even with the female M angle.

>>212605641
Jesus Christ. They really got the most aesthetically pleasing man in human history to play Bond for a while

>>212605729
To elaborate, I loved how good a villain Alec is. He has the smarts, the personal angle and is a rival/match for Bond in every way. You could not create a more perfect Bond villain. Xenia/Natalya are the perfect Bond girl duality.

>>212605761
No exaggeration there.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Vy1Ieypexk

>>212605764
Yea Sean Bean as Alec Trevelyan is exceptional in that film.

>>212603870 (OP)
It will be sterile dogshit that doesn't appeal to men and boys (Bond's main audience and fans) and instead tries to win over women/homosexuals/other groups who couldn't care less about Bond.

>>212604279
Literally?
You and your entire generation needs to look that word up.

>>212605577
>I majorly disapprove of this post-Goldeneye narrative
Me too, his first 3 were pretty good but being completely fair Bond has everything under relative control in all of them, in TWINE he shows the careless playboy aspect playing as a sugar pimp with Elektra kinda how Dalton did with the cello girl in TLD or Lazenby with his gf.
He didn't get challenging dialogue for the role again like Goldeneye and he was still very fresh in there, very deadpan in situations when he should be seething but everything else was spot-on, if we think about it his hardest dialogue were ironically with Elektra when he showed the non-spy personality and DAD in the first minutes when the deal gets botched, gets tortured and then traded only for him to be jailed.
I swear you can make something out of the first 15 minutes of DAD, when i learn how to edit shit i will try to pierce something out of it.

>>212605841
It really is just unfair how incredible he looks.

>>212605943
>007's loyalty is always to the mission, never to his friend.
This one moment has more drama, tragedy and ethos than all of Craig's 5 movies. What a perfect movie. Unbelievably good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkupPPjS4u0

>>212606001
cinema of the highest order, the is no other way of putting it.

>>212605998
I suppose so but you just can't get mad. He's superior to you on a genetic level but Pierce and his Bond strike me as that kind of Übermensch handsome man who wouldn't be a bully to people "lower" than him on the totem pole but would actually be quite benevolent and kind. Just that distinct impression I get. He's just so superior to people, not just on looks but in character, that he wouldn't stoop as low as to lord it over other people.

>>212606076
Seconded.

>>212605525
Kinda unfair, Brosnan was a theatrical package, not ugly at all, suave and trained for years in both Hollywood and british stage. Not even Moore would've stood against him.
>>212605761
No homo, right?
>>212605729
>>212605764
I don't know man, he needed more mojo in the confrontational scenes, for someone being betrayed by one of his only buddies he seemed way too calm when they faced each other, no sarcasm, no quips, no angry gaze, that role would've fit Dalton better but Brosnan is quite the actor when he gets to play with women, some of the best girls in a movie.
Trevelyan needed way more screen time, an evil Bond with all his same antics demands as much playtime as Scaramanga or Franz.
>>212605672
I just want euros to be played by euros.

>>212606287
I disagree. He played it perfectly. You wanted him to ham it up and beat you over the head with what Bond felt in that scene when his subtle facial expressions did the trick perfectly.
>I just want euros to be played by euros.
Me too. In an ideal world, no one who's American would get anywhere near a Bond movie if they're not playing an American character. They should always be European productions at heart. Only English, French, German, etc. Sadly, Bond is now owned by an Amerimutt corporation because Barbara is a spineless bitch. Expect Americans with bad British accents as M and Q.

>>212604767
Egyptian builders…

>>212606494
it always felt like to me that Bond was very much an afterthought in the cultural sphere in the US whereas in european soil, his movies are huge events and he is a legendary figure second to none. I always viewed Bond movies in the same sphere as Eurovision, football and Formula 1 as things you only truly get if you're a euro.

>>212605641
Kino plot too. It was the first post-Soviet Bond film which made it extremely interesting.

>>212604215
>this is a null and void discussion since industry insiders have been saying for years it's ATJ.
You have been saying that. Just fuck off already.

>>212606681
Bond films were massive in other parts of the anglosphere like Australia and New Zealand. I work with a guy that bought a few of the specific model numbers of wristwatches from a few Bond films, and I even got a vintage Seiko from the Spy Who Loved Me since my dad loved the movie when it was out.

And when the movies came out in theatres, they packed out for every showing. Casino Royale was a massive event since it had been so long since Die Another Day and the disappoint a lot of people had with it (self included).

>>212606494
>You wanted him to ham it up and beat you over the head
No, i wanted him to act with his eyes, an angry gaze, a choleric reaction to seeing something that confuses and makes you mad at the same time, there's many tools to show that and the series has had similar occasions with actors doing so. I think i am being harsh because after all Bond does express confusion and sorrow when he's with Natalya in that caribbean hut on the beach front.
He did act better in latter movies too so he had it in him, somehow didn't happen, i think he was still fresh and i've seen other Brosnan movies and he's top notch even back in the 80's.
>subtle facial expressions
Extremely subtle to the point of seeing other things, in that regard Sean Bean was much more convincing, getting flustered when Bond is quipping about him being a crybaby because his people got genocided or comparing him to a petty thief for robbing and destroying the Rothschild banking system worldwide.
Alec did nothing wrong.
>no one who's American would get anywhere near a Bond movie if they're not playing an American character
Adam West almost got the role, and not all americans, Felix Leiter being a nigger is just an insult, he's a second generation german so he should be euro looking too.
007 should be indeed euro productions, let's see what globohomo does to the ZOG enforcer we like.

>>212606287
no homo, appreciating Brosnan is just the same as appreciating a greek statue.

>>212606866
Well, it's the truth and pretty much inevitable given the current trajectory.
>>212606874
Are you speaking as an American? Well, yeah, I'm obviously not saying they're unpopular in the US but, as selfish as it sounds, I just don't think Americans get it on a deep-rooted cultural level as Euros do. Hence why the average Yank probably prefers MI or Bourne when all is said and done. Not saying there aren't American Bond superfans or in the rest of the Anglosphere. Also, KEY WORDS: "WERE" and "WAS". Not so anymore.

>>212603870 (OP)
I think it's a tonal mismatch and he will make an overly serious movie. He's not going to be comfortable with humor, flirting, camp, etc., he'll probably make Bond a stone-faced psychopath like some Sicario character.

>>212606681
>things you only truly get if you're a euro
Bond was a massive phenomenon in latin america, at least back in the Brosnan days, everything had his face, people played the games, the years in which a Bond movie appeared the Halloween parties would have people in tuxedos and water guns with booze in it, the character seemed neutral as he wasn't really pro-america and certainly not communist.
Americans are just too into their own world which is understandable but Bond is a legendary figure outside Europe.

>>212607020
>Are you speaking as an American?
No, I'm speaking as an Australian. I'm not sure Americans view it the same way as we do, I can't speak on their behalf, but it seems like Bond is culturally too different from them and the US market has always been weird about anything that is very British/Euro.

>>212607020
>Well, it's the truth and pretty much inevitable given the current trajectory.
If Superman flops then you have nothing to stand on.

>>212606898
Nothing crude about saying so, my man. It's always the case that men themselves are much more accurate judges of a man's beauty than women. Hence why all classical depictions of the male ideal were, of course, by men. When women depict men in "artistic" works of their own, there's nothing that actually resembles a man in reality.
>007 should be indeed euro productions, let's see what globohomo does to the ZOG enforcer we like.
David Heyman being the sole producer of Bond would've made me confident in the future but then they had to go and add an American Jewish woman which is about the most vile creature imagineable.

>>212607101
I'm well aware. I feel like you guys and Euros are much more closer than different.
>>212607111
Checked and very true. The U.S is such a different entity, for sure. I went there once (Miami) and I felt like I was on alien soil despite English being spoken and there being (mostly) white people. Bond is just too posh, cultured and high-brow for them even though back in the old continent some pretentious fags brand Bond as low-brow entertainment.

>>212607379
Yeah same experience for me when I went to the US. People meme about Australia and our culture, but we're a lot more polished and proper than most of the US is. My time in places like Florida, Tennessee and Alabama were really eye opening, as was the horror show that is Los Angeles. I liked parts of New England and that kind of thing though.

Still, point being, Bond is very popular here in Australia and always has been since the beginning. Even the Rolex and Omega boutiques here still have some Bond advertising in parts of their stores since both companies still produce models from the Craig era Bond films.

>>212605641
unironically think Die Another Day is a good film if you end it after the ice castle and remove the surfing scene. The iron man shit on the plane is of course cringe and the movie should have climaxed with the saving of Jinx.

>>212607503
Cavill might work better here in Australia.

>>212606898
>the same as appreciating a greek statue.
Dude's pretty no homo, i find more outstanding his womanizer acting without being vulgar or overt like Connery or Moore were.
Dalton seemed too shy and much more centered, like he didn't think with his balls like the rest did.

>>212606287
>the bezel is off by two clicks
Aaaaaaa

>>212607734
Connery was too much of a peasant while Moore was too much of a "gentleman" and Dalton was just a stickler. Brosnan, just chef's fucking kiss. Especially these scenes:

>>212607717
>unironically think Die Another Day is a good film
It has something underneath it but there's too many silly things on top, Lee Tamahori was/is too mentally ill for having been picked.

Pierce was James Bond.
Danila Gregov was a Russian homosexual midget impostor.

>>212607818
The best way to truly open your eyes to Die Another Day is to gather up friends and family on a breezy summer night and gather and watch it while spoiling yourself with food and drink while watching it. It's a theme park movie, not meant to be watched on your own just sitting in your room.

I honestly can't wait for the Bond reveal. If you think the superhero movie spam on the catalog is overwhelming, it'll be nothing compared to that.

>>212603870 (OP)
No. There's nobody in Hollywood who can make a Bond movie in this climate and there's no actor who can convincingly play him.

>>212607730
>Cavill might work better here in Australia.
Cavill would probably get the role by a long margin if it was up to decide by popular vote, problem is he's not that good of an actor but neither was Craig to be honest.
>>212607797
>Moore was too much of a "gentleman"
Dude was an asshole, only time Bond has to scheme plans to trick women into sleeping with him rather than naturally charming them or raping.

>>212607848
Daniel Craig was not the worst pick but still an imitation of the real Bond

>>212608010
>Daniel Craig was not the worst pick
I find that hard to believe, even Rowan Atkinson would've been better

>>212607999
Cavill is to big, he has the face but his body proportions would just look silly as a spy character

>>212604365
>>212604639
If you saw Nosferatu - more specifically, how badly Hoult mogged ATJ in every scene - you wouldn't want him as James Bond.

I listened to all the ian flemming books, partly in the hope of finding something that could be used in the script for a new bond movie. They could basically remake moonraker but not turning it into a star wars pastiche, nothing was used from the original book. "The Hildebrand Rarity" could also be something, obviously it would have to be rewritten or they make an entire movie about finding a rare fish. "Risisco" is another short story that's actually pretty filmable, it even has some beach scenes which I could see Villeneuve directing. "The Property of a Lady" is another short-story that's mostly about auctioneering but maybe there's something there, it's probably the last "official" Bond title that you can mine from Flemming's own work

>>212603870 (OP)
no. dennis cant into levity so itll be even duller than the cra*g joints
i recently binged the entire series and came to the conclusion that not only moore was the best bond, but that the series works best when it embraces being silly schlock. tswlm, moonraker and octopussy are peak popcornkino

i genuinely unironically believe the only director who could do a decent job at bond today is james gunn

>>212608071
You haven't seen Bullet Train where he made a chump out of Brad Pitt (though to be fair Pitt was playing a faggot character)
it's apples and oranges. ATJ just didn't fit in that period drama. He's too much of an action star kind of guy trying to do drama which he's good at but not to that extent. If anything, it proves he's more suited for Bond.

>>212608104
>"The Property of a Lady" is another short-story that's mostly about auctioneering but maybe there's something there, it's probably the last "official" Bond title that you can mine from Flemming's own work
That was already used for Octopussy, with it being a Fabergé egg being the item at the auction.

>>212608132
>i genuinely unironically believe the only director who could do a decent job at bond today is james gunn
Is your understanding of Bond that of a fucking woman?

>>212608132
While I appreciate the sentiment you express and won't take offense to you suggesting Gunn even if it's on wrongful basis, the last thing Bond should do is swing the pendelum hard the other way because that's just begging for people to go "WE NEED CRAIG BACK". What they need to do is find a balance between both the Bond tones and actually think of a good story that is multifaceted and not just a grimdark Bourne story or a schlocky cartoon.

>>212608062
>his body proportions would just look silly as a spy character
You do realize the most famous Bond was a hairy thug unit? also the guy is a pro, just make him lean down his gains for a couple of years.

We might be able to rescue this fledgling franchise IF we give Gen Z their Bond and help expunge some of the toxic associations that this character carries in the modern day.

>Connery was too much of a peasant

What a ridiculous (and classist) comment.

Connery IS Bond. Bond IS Connery.

>>212608170
I have to rewatch them all again, my memory is pretty much shot unless it's the unmistakable scenes like the showdown with scaramanga or bond tied up under the laser in goldfinger.
I thought the original story for octopussy was pretty neat, though maybe unfilmable, also it makes more sense that octopussy is an actual octopus

> James Bond villain owns the right to make James Bond movies.
Woah…

>>212608379
>Connery IS Bond, Bond IS Connery
Wrong, he wasn't a peasant although in the context of anon's commentary it means his romantic approach was of a peasant's, and to be fair it really is i mean just watch the movies, he either forces himself, bangs and bails or awkwardly plays along because of the mission at hand.
Perhaps Volpi and the very first Bond girl, the casino lady that re-appeared in FRWL, are exceptions

>>212608379
I call draw here and say Connery and Brosnan are equals. Connery gets points for being the first, Brosnan gets points for continuing the legacy in a perfect fashion.

no it will be penislop

Literal Carver has the media rights to make Bond at his behest, ironic really

Octopussy is a pretty decent film, it's one of the Moore films I liked the most. It also made me feel a bit sad about Indian since it seemed pretty cool and interesting in the 70s compared to the shithole it is now. I even watched some of the behind the scenes footage of Moore and the crew just walking around India and it looked awesome back then.

India has always been a shithole, it was interesting because it still had some of that visages without so much visual contamination of adverts and waves of people moving.
Now Bond in India is something that should've been explored more in terms of logic, after all Hong Kong was touched several times over the years. Also Bond in african countries in the southern part of the continent. Guess it was too spicy of a topic.

Connery is too working class, too much of a bear in his appearance and demeanor. It never worked for me. I much prefer Brosnan who's much more classically handsome and sophisticated. When I think of Bond, I think of him as a boarding school pretty boy turned spy. An English ubermensch. I reject the Scottish/Swiss retcon Fleming made just to sell more books back then. Bond is an Englishman. End of.

True, all the buildings didn't have any crap all over them and the streets weren't just a mash of people. Modern India is a total eyesore with endless billboards on literally every building on every street.

>Hong Kong was touched several times over the years
Goddamn it looked so good in Man With The Golden Gun and You Only Live Twice. I'd overall just like to find some more movies made in the 70s and 80s that take place in Hong Kong, it was such a neat time in its history.

I'm holding on for a bit before I'm watching them all again, it'll probably be like I've never watched them because my memory is that bad. I don't have much nostalgia for Moore but I do admit the light tone stands out and I'm a big sucker for the vodoo setting of Live and Let Die. Moore might be fronting some of the stuff that had the strongest impression on me as standalone "items" (the golden gun, Jaws, baron samedi, star wars bond) but the plots eludes me lol. Octopussy is one of those that are gone for me, I'd think you were talking about goldfinger because that's where I remember her being with her flying circus or whatever

>>212608941
If you're a casual and you say Connery is best I'll call you a casual and move on (if you were to say Craig I'll tell you to KYS) but nuclear Bond fans always say Dalton or Brosnan.

>>212608937
This awoke the short hair fetish I have to this day.

There's a circus sequence in both movies and both villains are connected to circuses (albeit in very different ways), so that's probably why.
Scaramanga was in a circus as a child which is where he learned how to shoot (and he meets with Bond at a circus, where he tells this story) and Octopussy owns circuses that are used as fronts (which appear a few times in the movie).

>>212608790
And you're trying to claim that Piaras Breandán Ó Brosnacháin was an Englishman? At least Connery was a Brit.

Also, another vector to consider.
Earlier Bond thrived on showing exotic locales that you could only afford to visit in the movies. Places you'd like to go for vacation.
Later Bonds took you to more specific places, stuff you need to research like a proper explorer (Hashima Island, Kalsoy island)
So it goes charter tourist -> seasoned traveller -> ?
I think he could go urban explorer. One of those abandoned mega cities in china or chernobyl

Best Bond couple

Mr Bond and Mr Bald go on an adventure in the Siberian wild to destroy a Russian dictator and save Ukraine.

>>212609589
That's basically the closest you can get to the Bond experience of travelling the world and hitting on an assortment of exotic women, an actual spy would have to sit in front of a computer all day

All of Timmy's Bond girls aged beautifully.
