Seems like we are all on the same page with the age thing then. The Remmington Steele thing did put a hurting on Brosnan's not coming in early and if he did enter the picture iin the 80's sure he could have done CR. It would have been great too. Considering when he wanted to do it though, it would not have worked. To be fair though, even at Moore's youngest he still could not have pulled off CR IMO.

I would have loved to have seen Brosnon come aboard when he was sopposed to for The Living Daylights....

I'm surprised how 37-year old Craig pulled it off.

 

[ChickenScratch]

Still in his 30's so he could pull off early 30's easy.

How old was Bond in the book?
Late-20's?

 

[Secret_Riddle]

For me it's no question

Casino Royale.

I can't quote it right now I would have to check. I do remember that he left the service in his later 20's after WW2 and went to work for Universal Exports (MI6) a year or so after. CR picks up after his first case and first 2 kills so I would guess about 30 because of training and in Moonraker it was mentioned that the field agents get at most 2 missions a year.

 

[Warhammer]

Oh, gotcha.

Casino Royale is my favorite Bond film. I liked Goldeneye and Tomorrow NEver Dies but to my, Connery and Craig are the best Bonds.

Apparently, the Bondathon is already over, and it isn't even Thanksgiving yet.

Oh well, UFC is always good.

Yeah, odd

 

[ChickenScratch]

Ufc!

 

[webhead921]

Bronsan is my favorite Bond. Very smooth and cunning. My favorite Bond movie is Goldeneye. To me, it is the perfect bond movie.

Apparently, the Bondathon is already over, and it isn't even Thanksgiving yet.

Its NOT according to my Direct TV listings.

Moonraker at 1AM
GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, and The World Is Not Enough on Friday
You Only Live Twice on Saturday morning

I'll admit that it wasn't much of a Bond marathon, but it ain't over yet.

That is odd.

I'm disappointed about the Bond marothon this year. Usually spike tv runs these things in the hole, especially thanksgiving week, this year they're showing their series. Understandable, but dang it!

Timothy Dalton was my favorite bond, making my favorite Bond film with Living Daylights! It's interesting my British friend I made here agrees with me but everyone in America I know hates Dalton...

I like Dalton too. He was badass.

 

[Road Warrior]

That is odd.

read the post above yours

 

[Warhammer]

Yeah, I checked my cable guide, too. They are showing Bond films sporadically. One tonight at 1 AM, films all day until 8 or 9 on Friday, and one on Saturday morning. With that said, this was a terrible Bondathon. They better redeem this with a 007 days of Christmas, or a New Years Bondathon (most cable networks have great New Years movie marathons). AMC should do another one, since they had one two years ago.

 

[Bat Bond]

Ah, my forte.

If I had to rank Bonds, it would go like this:
1. Connery
2. Craig

3. Dalton
4. Lazenby

5. Moore

6. Brosnan

Top 5 films? Eh...
1. FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE
2. CASINO ROYALE
3. ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE
4. GOLDFINGER
5. THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS

In just a few words on the state of the franchise right now, Bond is looking as good as ever. After DIE ANOTHER DAY it was looking as if the Bond films were as stale and unnecessary as ever. Thankfully there was a big creative shakeup and CASINO ROYALE was made, giving a much-needed jolt to a franchise dying in self-parody and comical action. The future looks bright and as long as we have Craig, things will be in good hands.

 

[Road Warrior]

this was a terrible Bondathon.

I have been watching Bond marathons for the past 10 years and this has been the worst one! Back in the day, TBS had awesome Bond marathons. Spike has had pretty good ones but they messed up this year. AMC had potential for a great Bond marathon but they screwed it up by cutting too many scenes. As for the BEST Bond marathon...that would go to Encore. They aired all Bond movies uncut, uncensored, and commerical free. Who can beat that? However, the TBS marathons will always be special to me because it was during those marathons that I fell in love with this franchise.

 

[Road Warrior]

Yeah, I checked my cable guide, too.

The cable guide was correct. Moonraker is on right now!

 

[Bat Bond]

I loved the first couple years of the Spike Bond marathons. Now they suck.

They used to play them virtually all day around the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Not anymore.

 

[Warhammer]

It sucks that they had to intercut the Bondathon with CSI syndication, and today, Spike is showing "When Animals Attack," "World's Wildest Police Videos," etc.

 

[Sebastos]

I saw Moonraker last night, one of my favorite Bond films. Who would like to see a video game adaption of the movie?
