Ok, so a traditional feminist will peel the flesh of my bones if they come to know of my love for the Donovan of all men...JB himself. There is something about the guy that attracts me. Its not the actors that play the character of Bond, but its the character itself, OK maybe Craig and Lazenby have stirred my emotions, but keeping that aside, Bond is the suavest (if that word exists) spy in this universe.
I am writing about Bond because Quantum of Solace releases this November. 14th to be precise, and I am desperately waiting. Craig was great in Casino Royale, and I am hoping to see better in QOS.
Well did you know Casino Royale was supposed to be the first JB flick, but Dr. No ended up being the first production. I have seen all, except for the Timothy Dalton ones, and I dont even want to watch them. Maybe I am being shallow here, but he didnot, in my opinion look the part. Julian Macmahon could have been a better Bond than him, of course he is great as Christian in NipTuck, but thats another post.
Sean Connery, was a great JB too, and his best I think was Goldfinger and even Russia with Love, which by the way was JFK's favorite book. And then I feel Lazenby, the Australian model was the absolute best. But unfortulately his movie was the one and only Lazenby JB starrer. On her majesty's secret service is awesome, and thats when Bond actually marries, its the saddest part when she dies, and Bond never falls in love like that again. A truely vulnerable Bond...
Catch the intro scene on youtube, and if you are a Bond fan, you will enjoy how Lazenby sets the scene to show the transition from the Connery phase...
All he says when he saves Diana Rigg, and fails to shag her is "This never happened to the other guy"..

Then also watch OHMSS's opening titles, just like Goldfinger's intro, OHMSS contain snippets of all the previous JB flicks...Enjoy!! Also, this is mostly an instrumental theme unlike all other Bond opening soundtracks..
