[DancesWithWerewolves]

So glad it starts out with a bang with Casino Royale.

I noticed in the book that Vesper says that Bond reminds her of Hoagie Carmichael. Out of all the actors, only T-Dal and Craig bare a resemblance to that singer. If given dark hair, Daniel Craig would have a stronger resemblance.

Only seen a single Bond movie. Both Jason and Tigg have, in the past, suggested I watch them all, which is something I sort of want to do, but at the same time, sounds rather dull.

Hope you have a fun time, though.

God this dude's wife in the pink dress was fucking hot. Oye!

You can add James Bond to the list of movies I have never seen. Have seen bits and pieces of a couple. Saw every minute of the Austin Powers movies if that counts for anything...

[Jason]

Bare in mind, the Craig era is essentially the reboot era for the films. Die Another Day was the end of EON's first run, pretty much. Bond was already 00 in Dr. No. We see him achieve it in the opening of Casino Royale.

Hmm. Lemme think.

Nope!

Eon is still producing, the only non Eon one is Never Say Never Again, which was just a remake of Thunderball. Casino is still the starting point no matter which way it's sliced. I can easily still fit the rest of the Craig stuff in.

The only confusing part is that Quantum directly follows Casino Royale, causing a hiccup in my plan of order-of-published.

Yeah, but I'm saying there is continuity in the first 20 EON films. Not saying they stopped, the just rebooted their run with Casino. Spectre is essentially the Dr.No/FRWL era now...

That Vesper....one of the best Bond girls.

Taking advantage of the Starz membership on Amazon to watch the ones I don't own. 7 day free trial.

I only remember that one as subpar, but I will be rewatching.

[DancesWithWerewolves]

Next up: Live and Let Die!

[DancesWithWerewolves]

And from what I remember, Jane Seymour as my hottest Bond girl.

*Checks list

#8 on my most recent ranking. The opening is terrible, the actual movie is pretty underrated.

[DancesWithWerewolves]

Knowing the book is just as bad with races, Live & Let Die really couldn't be remade today, lol. With how bad the snowflake crowd hates Bond's personality, this would probably get protested lol.

[Jason]

I go back and forth with like 10 of them. :p

I can't deny Femke, though.

Baron Samedi's voodoo loving ass is pretty awesome, though.

Indeed.
