Forum Game: This or That?

Definitely a dedication - but I would prefer it right before the end credits.

Stand-alone adventures for the next actor’s tenure

or

another connected narrative

Stand alone for the selfish reasons of I don’t want to hear bitching about “not continuing the serial arc they’ve clearly been building in the other movies” in Bond 28, then complain “the serial arc comes out of nowhere with no set up in any earlier movies” in Bond 29

:roll_eyes:

First theme for Bond 7

Rock anthem

Or

Ballad

Rock anthem. Get the series off to a rousing start. Besides, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig ALL got rousing rock anthems for their first films.

Which would you rather see as a pre-titles sequence in Bond 26:

Bond is on the International Space Station where he has to uncover the identity of a saboteur on board. When he learns of the spy’s identity, it leads to a dangerous and suspenseful space walk and a kill shot with a laser gun at the last second preventing the space station from being destroyed.

Or

Bond is on a deep-sea oil platform where he has to discover the identity of an eco-terrorist out to destroy the station and cause a massive oil spill disaster. When Bond learns of the eco-terrorist’s identity, he must don an atmospheric diving suit and travel thousands of feet to the bottom of the ocean to stop him from setting off a bomb. A fight ensues with Bond taking a cable attached to a slow moving vehicle and hooking it onto the villain’s suit that takes him over the edge and down into the abyss of a trench to his death.

Spoiler Alert

Aha’s TLD a rock anthem? Don’t think so. GoldenEye is also questionable.

But… I go for the deep-sea pre-titles, that’s realy a great and exciting idea!

For the next Bond movie a score from (thinking about the two Justice League versions)

Danny Elfman

or

Junkie XL aka Tom Holkenborg

Ok, maybe they’re not rock anthems (I’m not that musically knowledgeable), but those songs are rockier/more upbeat than a ballad which was my simple layman’s interpretation/preference answer for the question. Not trying to sound like I was offended, which I wasn’t, just giving my explanation.

And thanks for the compliment. :smiley:

Neither (I hated both versions of Justice League).

EDIT: It was pointed out to me that I have to choose, so I guess I’ll pick Holkenberg. But, I stand by my original statement, both films are terrible.

Best cinematography:
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
OR
Skyfall
?

“Neither” is not playing the game, you have to make a choice
and they both made more scores than only that movie ofcourse… :wink:

OHMSS

Preferred shooting scene:-

  • with Largo in TB

or

  • with Drax in Moonraker

??

With Largo in Thunderball.

Preferred action sequence with tanker trucks:

  • The finale of Licence To Kill

or

  • The airport tarmac sequence in Casino Royale?

The finale in Licence To Kill – arguably the best finale in the series

Preferred Bond girl/love:

Tracy di Vicenzo in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service

or

Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale

?

Oooh…tough choice… I’d give the slight edge to Tracy di Vicenzo in OHMSS.

Better partner/teammate for James Bond during his mission:

Wai Lin in Tomorrow Never Dies OR Nomi in No Time To Die?

Wai Lin. When in doubt, I choose Tomorrow Never Dies.

Better version of Drax:
Moonraker film
OR
Moonraker novel
?

Novel Drax in a walk.

Better version of Mr. Kidd and Mr. Wint

DAF novel

or

DAF film

Film Wint and Kidd and it’s not even close! I never tire of their one liners.

Spectre last half hour

Or

No Time To Die last half hour?

SPECTRE last half hour easily

Better ally:

Tiger Tanaka in You Only Live Twice

or

Marc-Ange Draco in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service

?

In the books both were compelling, but on film Draco was better realized.

Bond 26:

Henry Cavill as the same Bond as Craig, carrying on
or
Reje Jean Page in a reboot, WITHOUT ‘Bond begins - again’
?

I’ll say Cavill as a continuation just because I’m tired of reboots.

If Horowitz is really done with Bond after this next novel, what should the next writer do:
Continue in the 50s/60s
Or
Return to modern day Bond novels
?

Return to modern day Bond novels

Better ally:

Jack Wade in GoldenEye

or

Valentin Zukovsky in The World Is Not Enough

?

Zukovsky

When do you think Bond 26 will come out?

Before 2026

or

After 2026
