Worst 007 - James Bond
Daniel CraigNote: I don't own this picture  Made 3 Bond Films, 1 More coming later this year.Casino Royale (2006) Quantum of Solace (2008) Skyfall (2012) Spectre (2015) I have seen the 1st 2 of his movies and I did not see Skyfall and I was one of thousands of individuals that wrote letters protesting him as 007. I'm sorry that I just don't see him playing the part of 007 and after seeing his 2nd movie - I broke out in frustrations that this movie did not cut out as him as 007. I had friends that saw Skyfall in 2012 and they told me that it was marginally better than the 2nd one - but they were disappointed too. I just saw Skyfall on DVD and I just have a hard time understanding Daniel Craig on screen because he does not command his voice quite well. I'm hard of hearing and his speech does not carry well on the big screen. Sorry Members, I just don't care of Daniel Craig as 007. Please understand my feelings about him and I vowed never ever see another 007 Movie as long Craig at the helm of James Bond, 007.

Two of the very Best Henchmen that
Ever Appeared in Bond Films EverOddjob - Actor Harold Sakata  Appeared in Goldfinger (1964)Jaws - Actor Richard Kiel  Appeared in Spy Who Loved Me (1977)Appeared in Moonraker (1979)Of all the JAMES BOND 007 Henchmen that appeared in various Bond throughout the ages there is no other than these two that stands tall and mighty in the world of 007. Oddjob played by Sakata was silent and effectively deadly with his Bowler Hat. Jaws played by Kiel was towering, menacing, and dangerously deadly with his killer jaws of teeth that kills without remorse. These two tops of them all and each with it's own deadly desires.

George Reeves - Superman
Adventures of Superman (1952–1958)I wasn't born yet when this show was on television but, it was a grand show to watch on a weekly basis on my local channel every Saturday Morning from 7 to 7:30 in the morning. I envy my older brothers that watch this show when they were growing up. George Reeves was Superman and I was in awe of the great photography and special effects that made a man can fly back in the 50's. Here's five pictures that I want to share with you today.

Peter Sellers Greatest Role
Dr. Strangelove - How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) As Dr. Strangelove As President Merkin Muffley As Group Capt. Lionel MandrakeAlso Starring, Sterling Hayden as Brig. Gen. Jack D. Ripper, Keenan Wynn as Col. 'Bat' Guano, Slim Pickens as Maj. 'King' Kong, and George C. Scott as Gen. 'Buck' Turgidson. This is a classic comedy caper involving an insane general triggers a path to nuclear holocaust that a war room full of politicians and generals frantically try to stop.Paranoid Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper of Burpelson Air Force Base, he believing that fluoridation of the American water supply is a Soviet plot to poison the U.S. populace, is able to deploy through a back door mechanism a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union without the knowledge of his superiors, including the Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Buck Turgidson, and President Merkin Muffley. Only Ripper knows the code to recall the B-52 bombers and he has shut down communication in and out of Burpelson as a measure to protect this attack. Ripper's executive officer, RAF Group Captain Lionel Mandrake (on exchange from Britain), who is being held at Burpelson by Ripper, believes he knows the recall codes if he can only get a message to the outside world. Meanwhile at the Pentagon War Room, key persons including Muffley, Turgidson and nuclear scientist and adviser, a former Nazi named Dr. Strangelove, are discussing measures to stop the attack or mitigate its blow-up into an ... you know the rest of it.It's insanity at it's very best!

Colorful Pictures of Lucille Ball
Fabulous Actress and Comedienne  Got this photo off a magazine that my Grandfather had that was badly beat up and this photograph was intact.  Brought this back in 1989 in one of many visits in California on Vacation seeing Los Angeles.  A dear friend of mine got me this beauty.

MechaGodzilla,
I have to respectfully disagree with your order of Bonds. While you number is correct, your number2 is off its not even funny.
My order: 1. Connery (THE Bond of all Bonds) 2. Craig (I know you don't like him, but he's solid. If it wasn't for the Bourne films, we wouldn't get a good action-y Bond these days. Craig's good to pull it off beautifully) 3. Dalton (Closest to the novels as we'll get. Underrated) 4. Lazenby (Yeah, I'll get flack for this, but OHMSS is a great Bond flick. Go back and re-watch it...its solid and he does a great job) 5. Moore (Too old when approached and too schmaltzy. I love his Bond films, but they're just too slapsticky at times) 6. Brosnan (By far the worse to them. Tried too much to be Connery and Moore and failed. Also having terrible scripts and more product placement than any Bond hurt his legacy, IMO)
if you're a Bond fan, I suggest listening to the James Bonding podcast on the Nerdist site. Its a funny and poignant podcast that looks at the Bond films.

I understand your position here and I can see why you place them in that order. I would had rated Lazenby higher if he had done more Bond Films and I did not care for Dalton's first film "The Living Daylights" - but I do love his second film "License to Kill" because of the action there. I had a very difficult time deciding how I place them but I'm standing firm with Pierce Brosnan as my 2nd choice because he was suave and debonair as Bond and his films were notably good but not outstanding. For Roger Moore - I just loved his humor in his role of 007 and when he did "Spy Who Loved Me" with Barbara Bach - battling Jaws played by Richard Kiel and in that scene of which tons of bricks and material fell on Jaws - he uttered "Egyptian Builders" really cracked me up and he constantly provide much needed humor and that why I ranked him below Pierce Brosnan and higher than Lazenby and Dalton. I understand that you like Daniel Craig - to me he isn't Bond in my opinion and I'm one of those fans that protested Barbara Broccoli's decision to hire him and I'm loyal to the cause and that's why I don't watch any of his films anymore. I'm very disappointed in her. You have to understand that. It's a personal one and I do not wish to disclose here because it will upset everyone who loved Craig. I have to respect that and I do keep my judgment to myself. I don't listen to anything in the internet these days except You Tube Music - because I'm severely hard of hearing and I just don't enjoy listening to them. Sorry. |
