Discussing with Brandon (PM74) about the lastest Bond flick "Quantum Of Solace" I decided to open a thread about the Bond phenomena. We can discuss movies, plots, Q, M, Bond girls, cars, guns, etc. Everything goes as long as it is based on respect.
Bond is probably one of the longest action heroes, "Dr. No" the first real official Bond movie (there's a spoof of "Casino Royale" the first Ian Fleming tale but it is as aprocryphal to me as "Never Say Never Again" ) dates from 1962, which mean is older than me!
Bond is also a changing character, he used to smoke, slap women, drink like crazy (well he still does), play baccarat (not poker) and be cool as cool can be. As a kid I wanted to be Bond more like any other hero (even Batman), I guess I still do. He lives his life on the fast lane, kills, screw girls, drink vodka and get paid for it by the Government (long live her majesty!), and always came out alive (a bit dmaged maybe) of the adventure, damn I want that job . To me James Bond is as metal as can be.
