I have an aunt that hates dairy products, therefore she hates pizza.

I love pizza.
I love Franch toast.
I love cheese.
Duke, your aunt won't like me.

Hahahaha!!! Like I always tell my aunt, it's her loss.




I'm watching Octopussy right now, & it's an alright Bond movie, but I believe it could have been extremely better. I truly believe Moore should've hanged his Bond credentials after For Your Eyes Only & allowed Dalton to have taken over the role.
 
As part of Disney they have access to great animators and the outlets to showcase such shows on. I really wish either WB or Marvel would take a shot at 45min long episodic animated fair. 12 episodes, cover a couple of arcs and subplots. At least do it to keep some franchises in the spotlight between films.


Oh... And keep Jeph Loeb away. Dear Zod...

I remember when I first heard rumblings of them doing something animated with Planet Hulk, I thought something like that could work as like a 10 part OVA series, like Hellsing Ultimate, covering the various arcs that Greg Pak did. But alas they stuck with a single, heavily abridged version for the film.

Now that you mention that, I think the 90s Hulk show could really benefit from having such a treatment instead of what we had.
The pacing of episodes make them feel like 40+ minutes compressed.

I like that they switched Silver Surfer with Beta Ray Bill.
But that made me wonder why Hulk did not break free of his shackles and ask for help of the prisoner he freed.

What you suggested is exactly the kind of stuff both of the big two should do. Move genre animated programming for English speaking countries forward. Marvel pretty much defecates gold these days. To quote Shia... JUST DO IT!

Only thing I like about Octopussy is Magda.

Wish that is how it was with their current animated shows.

I guess it was his pride that made him not want any extra help.

They just need to think bigger, exactly as Henry Jones III suggests!

Yeah, she was hot. Moore should've been a gentleman, & bowed out. Louis Jourdan was a very memorable Bond villain. I wonder how Octopussy & A View To A Kill would have turned out if Dalton was playing Bond?
 
Maude Adams is still my favourite Roger Moore era Bond girl

We'll never know.
 
Mine would be Carole Bouquet or Jane Seymour, both drop dead gorgeous!!! :hmr:

Yeah, Roger had a good run in that area :woot:

As for why he stayed on for Octopussy, part of it had to do with Sean Connery doing his own version Never Say Never Again which was effectively the first step in Kevin McClory's attempt and creating his own Bond franchise to rival EONs. Roger was ready to leave, but he decided along with the various parties involved that a tried and tested Bond like him would do better against the rival Sean Connery picture.

In the end they were right to do so, as Octopussy outperformed the other film and effectively stopped McClory's plans dead in their tracks.
 
I do wonder how things would have played out with Brosnan if he could have been given his shot at Bond earlier.
 
At the very least, Dalton should've gotten a third try at Bond & not just a small footnote. :csad:

or if half the movies weren't god awfully written. it's not hard to picture brosnan in casino royale it works just fine really.
