    Mr. White hates James Bond

    http://www.aintitcool.com/node/44041

    I only posted this because I agree I don't like them. I thought Casino was alright but they AREN'T james bond anymore. They got the JB initials right, but nowadays its Jason Bourne. Watch one of the new bonds especially quantum of suck and tell me your not watchin a Jason Bourne ripoff. Wheres the Bond Gadgets? Wheres the Bond Humor? Wheres the Bond girls with the crazy names? Its gone my friends....its gone. And I wish they'd bring it back.

    Truthfully Sean Connery and George Lazenby were the only actors I liked portraying J.B. Ian Flemming would be rolling in his grave if he knew his character came to this.

    James Bond ended some time ago. These are merely action/spy flicks riding the coattails of a once great franchise name.

    Our immortality is found in the words and actions of our children.

    You see relatives at holidays, weddings, and funerals, but family is always with you.

    Do not steal, rape, or murder. Everything else is fair game.

    Facing failure is easier than running from regret.

    Far as I recall the last couple entries were designed around the notion of eliminating a lot of what the series became known for via a reboot of sorts.

    Gadgets, humor, etc and decided to try to be serious with the franchise for the first time in a while.

    I didn't mind Casino Royale. I have yet to see Quantum. Brosnan's last entry was garbage (Die Another Day) but I did enjoy World is Not Enough and Goldeneye was both a solid entry and spawned one of the greatest if not greatest movie turned video game of all time.

    Golden Eye was a badass movie and a better game, Tomorrow Never Dies was awful. Die Another Day was better than 'Dies', but it still wasn't great.

    Casino Royale on the other hand was a festering shit heap

    Dr. No was great and I liked almost all of Sean Connery's movies except Thunderball. Roger Moore was amusing, a farce of the Connery role. Live and Let Die and Moonraker are funny just for the cheese factor. The rest of the Bonds are lost on me, the only one who got it right was Pierce Brosnan but his scripts sucked. Have to admit I haven't seen Casino Royal or Quantum.

    I don't see Casino/Quantum as Bourne rip-offs, outside of the constant use of frenetic editing, which I'm not a fan of in either series of films. He's still sauve and cocksure for the most part, and not afraid to drop a bitch with a machine gun if the situation calls for it. The less like Roger Moore's goofiness, the better I say. Also, Brosnan's last couple Bond films went away from the Bond-girl naming convention, you can't drop that on Casino/Qauntum like it's out of the blue.

    I will agree though, I miss Q Branch, he provided a much better counter/foil to Bond than M does. Is Q Branch not mentioned in the recent films as just starting? It's been a while since I saw either of them. A scene with Q would provide more than enough slapstick humour to last an entire Bond film

    If they'd implement the '007 James Bond is just a title/name given to different secret agents' idea, and have a previous Bond shown on screen (retcon or work out his dead wife if need be) it would surely add something more to a 'realistic' version of the character, especially if Craig doesn't stick around.
