NEVER SAY GEORGE LAZENLY AGAIN

JAMESBOND0071

I THINK GEORGE LAZENLY WAS THE WORST JAMES BOND EVER ALTHOUGH I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE OF HIS MOVIES FROM WHAT I HEAR HE'S ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC.

No need to shout, pal, we can all hear you just fine Besides, I've never even said 'George Lazenly' once, let alone again! -{

My best advice for you would be to not let your opinions be shaped by others. You really ought to watch On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and make up your own mind. It's one of the classics of the series...but that's my opinion. Once you've seen it, feel free to disagree...

Meanwhile...welcome to AJB! :007)

1. The is the QoS forum, so I'm moving your topic to the Films chat.

2. If you've never seen a Lazenby film--especially OHMSS--then your opinion is absolutely invalid. Watch OHMSS and then let's see what your opinion is.

Psssssssst. It's George Lazenby. Not Lazenly. Do us a favor, as others have said, watch the movie first then form your own opinion. If your a Bond fan you'll like OHMSS.

The L and the B keys are really quite some distance apart.

Hi,JAMESBOND0071.Give old George a chance watch OHMSS first and then if you think he stinks by all means say so.When I was a kid I remember my father talking about George Lazenby when OHMSS was first shown on TV basicly agreeing with you,"He's not fit to lick Connerys Boots" I remmember him saying.
But on watching the film my opinion was very diffrent. Lazenby had a hell of a job to do replace a world wide icon and it was only his first film,talk about pressure.
His Bond is still one of my favourites he's cerntinly the right age for Bond and I love the way he walks with a swagger,a great mix of arrogance with vunerabilty.As I said take a look at the film then make a judement.

Look to the far left of your keyboard, follow the buttons down the left-hand side until you see one which has the infamous term, "Caps Lock" written across it. Be sure it is turned off, and that the neighbouring "Shift" key is made good use of for your next post.

Welcome to the forum.

Well I think your argument is absolutely pathetic.

How can you possibly judge the man when you haven't even seen any of his movies! ?:)

Watch OHMSS and then tell us all what you thought of his portrayal of Bond.

Hello and welcome, JAMESBOND0071.

Well, you certainly made an impression with your first post...

I happen to disagree with you, but that's fine. Part of the fun on this board is disagreeing about Bond movies.

You see, there are even people here who like the Man with the Golden Gun...:(|)

Anyway, like I said, welcome to the board and as long as you keep off the capslock you'll be fine.

I also agree that you should have a look at OHMSS. But then again, if you ask me saying it's bad without having seen it falls into the same category as saying Sean Connery is a miserable sod without having met him.

thesecretagent

As posts go, it's not a bad start. I mean, nice and softly at first to test the water and the responses you get...
I liked Lazenby. I think taking over from the original Bond was a tough act to follow and largely, he delivered. The film was fairly sound as well. I'm not bothered whether you like him or not, we all have our own opinions, but it would have been good if you had first seen the film. It might have opened up a bit of good critical debate.
Welcome aboard and I can't wait for your next post!

I don't think it's quite the same thing. Of course, one can not comment fully on Connery without having met him, but at the same time, one can passs judgement on his actions and public comments. It's like with *politicians. I think one can easily pass judgement on the decency, or otherwise, of politicians, based on their accepted views, actions and public comments.

That said, I certainly think that JAMESBOND00071 should see OHMSS before passing judgement on it. Unlike certain films, for which you need only see the trailer, OHMSS is a complexed and multi-layered film which may even require a second viewing.

*The possible difference between politicians and Connery is that politicians' careers are often based on what they think, or at least in theory. Connery may not have made enough public statements about his views. A more realistic comparison would be a certain Australian actor/director who has been in the news recently and whom I probably wouldn't invite to dinner.

Sounds like somebody is getting a little bit cranky 8-)

On a slightly different note, it is funny mentally adapting to a different actor as Bond for the first time. I remember the first time I saw Connery as Bond, in From Russia With Love. My confused reaction to my late Mum was "Whos he?" My Mum smiled and explained that was the first man to play Bond, Sean Connery, a fellow Scotsman. Still looking confused,I said "Hes not James Bond! Where Roger Moore?" - I was 7 at the time! I was also appauled at teh boat blow up scene. - The innocence of childhood!

The only Bond I don't rate, is Woody Allen's Little Jimmy Bond. - But then, you aren't supposed to!

JAMESBOND0071, telling people to "shut up" and to "shut their traps" after responding to your deliberately provocative and grossly uninformed post is a good way to get yourself banned from this site (and I am speaking as a moderator with the power to ban, get it?). If you're going to pick a fight, then you'd better be ready to back it up.

What's laungage? Sorry, but I'm not conversant in hick. Possibly, I think you may be on the wrong site. You see, you are arguing a pathetic point. You don't like an actor you have never seen (nor can even spell his name), in his portrayal of a character in a film you have never seen. It's not the best basis of a constructive argument, is it? Unless you are six years old (which, lets face it, your argument and spelling would suggest) then telling a member to "shut their trap" when their response was nothing but friendly, welcoming and open, then maybe you should find another site to express yourself on. James Bond Junior perhaps... or even Teletubbies.

I know Bondtoys! It was funny to me too. Everything from the LAZENLY to the never seeing the film. And then when everyone was correcting him and yelling at him to stop the CAPS, I expected this contrite apology and he instead says "shut your trap". OMG, it made me laugh!! Have things gotten so dull around here, that I found that entertaining? )


Not that I'm encouraging posts like that! (resumes serious face) Bad.. bad spammers!

is there a proper english word for it? I could only find "Cannonball" but don't find it perfect.

For all others, here you find an "Arschbombe":

and I don't think, that "splashdiving" gets it. It should be splashdiving at the arse solely....

"Bellyflop"? Some words just don't come across in translation.

Higgins

thanks Barbel,

I know bellyflop from the good old Crash Bandicoot game
But bellyflop is with the belly, Arschbombe is with the reverse side

I know, but since there's no literal equivalent I was going for colloquial- ich bin nur ein Gastarbeiter!

I don't have much option- my wife's German and we spend a fair amount of time there!
