That's the actual shocking part
Mine too actually!... I guess not anymore. Might have something to do with playing hundreds of hours of 007 nightfire as a kid.
Ew night fire? Not golden eye?
Not everyone is a kid during the same era, now go drink your Ovaltine!
(Golden eye was better for sure)
Nope, my progression was NES > PS2 because I was poor. I missed out on a lot, though I got to play my friend's N64 a few times.
For me it was the world is not enough
He’s the one whose movies were in theaters in the 90’s and early 00’s. (Personally, I’d go with Dalton.)
That is so much of what drives people's opinions I think. My favourite bands are still the ones that I found when I was in highschool and college. Some of them were current and otherwise.
If I had to pick a favourite bond actor it would be Brosnan because he was bond when I was kid.
I have to remind myself of this when something gets remade. It doesn't mean the first one was good, that was just what my nostalgia reminds me of.
Not saying nuance doesn't exist, but for things that people don't really think about, nostalgia is powerful.
Was
Who would you go for
connery is more charming, moore is more earnest and craig got to star after they stopped writing scripts where the female leads had names like Hellacious Vag
Fun fact! They only changed that because of Austin Powers. In fact Austin Powers almost killed the James Bond movie franchise entirely because the satire was so on point.
Invisible cars, bad CGI and nonsensical plots were killing 007. AP just highlighted that.
Lmao yeah it was another time another time
That smile...
Probably Roger Moore
Fair that was apparently fleming’s choice. I’ve always been partial to a spot of Tim dalton tbh. I always felt roger Moore was the saint first and bond second somehow but yeah good choice good choice
I did like Timothy Dalton, but I feel like he wasn't in enough films to really get to know him in the role lol
David Niven only voiced by Rich Little.
Thank you. I was about to ask for those of us who don’t follow actors, who that was
It was a drive-by fruiting!
Will always remember when I was playing multiplayer GoldenEye in college and one of the guys said this as he was killing Bond (complete with accent)! RIP Robin.
Wait what brosnan endorsed that guy? Man he always seemed like a reasonable sort of chap. ☹️
Hey wait a second... That's not Garbage! Garbage just did the theme song for one of Brosnan's Bond movies.
The World is not Enough
The song and the music video are pretty banger. And Shirley Manson is a legend / queen.
If you like Garbage's stuff and you love Shirley Manson, then oh boy check out Stephanie Cheape and Queen.
It was as if it was made as a love letter to Garbage
Hmm not a bad shout
Good share! Thanks. And, yes, absolutely.
It was actually my favorite one up until Writing on the Wall came and snatched the title.
Yeah... I stopped having a favorite "actor-who-played-a-personification-of-rapacious-British-imperialsm" when I realized that they were acting as a personification of rapacious British imperialism.
"The Garbage Man Can!!!"
I can't believe I can still remember that song, but it's what immediately popped into my head upon seeing this image.
