Why Do You Even Care About Bond23?

Seriously, Bond23 will be a let down. Just another pointless action flick with no sense of drama or realism.
The only decent Bond films were filmed between 1972-1985. That era alone should set the benchmark for future films. There is no point even watching Bond23 UNLESS the crew start using the old methods of filming and bring back Roger Moore, Christopher Lee and Richard Kiel (at the bare minimum!).
Bond23 is going to be terrible. Yes, going by the poor excuses that have passed for Bond films after 1985, this is a certainty. Ian Fleming (I am certain of this) would have been appalled to see his franchise treated with such flippancy.
I am also confident he would have been disgusted at so-called ''fans'' who lap up these poor excuses of films and rate them highly on renowned websites like imdb, amazon etc. Unless Eon go back to basics, Bond will be seen a pathetic franchise in the minds of REAL fans!

I'm sorry I disgust you, Mr Fleming
I'm a bad, bad boy
I'm not Fleming
But seriously, this so-called reply to my excellently written OP is sub standard. I am disgusted!
I know you are not....I'm apologising to his memory...that you think he will be disgusted by me
I'm just so impressed with your OP....I think I'm more impressed that you managed to smuggle a computer in there and use it rather than use the more usual crayon
So am I. It was rather coherent if I do say so myself
I think I'd be more impressed if you dropped your mod/admin advantages (you're chief of staff, I'm assuming a mod or admin) and see if you can counter-act any points I've made instead of automatically going on the ad hominem.
Now listen up: Sir Rog was the only actor worthy of playing Bond and I have explained why elsewhere. Bond23 NEEDS to re-instate Moore as he is still alive and well and is clearly able to pull off another round or two (perhaps more!) as made clear via his recent post office ad.
Care to actually debate the issue or will you be hiding behind your totalitarian ''chief of staff'' status and lock the thread?
Your move.

"Screw 'em." - Daniel Craig, The Best James Bond EverTM
There are advantages ?:)
I think you'd still install Sir Rog even if he were dead
And there is no need to lock this thread...it gives great entertainment on a Bank Holiday Weekend -{
Sir Rog will probably be around until well past 100. He is in great shape and can still handle the role.
Everyone on his forum should be ashamed they have not united to petition Eon with hundreds of signatures DEMANDING Eon re-make every Bond film that Moore was not involved with, and to re-instate him immediately. That way, we get all of Flemings works delivered with the finest Bond of all. Plus, bringing back legends like Lee and Jaws would also be of use, as well as reverting back to the old style of Bond filming: more realism, less CGI.
Now you are just being insulting!
That's your take on it.
Here's mine: there is no reason to lock this thread because doing so smacks in the face of free debate and discussion.

No I'm not...you should see me when I really get started
I like smacking faces
Discussion..?...this is a direct quote of yours...
"There can be no room for debate as far as I am concerned. No room at all."
-{
Yes, as far as I am concerened (note the context of opinion). Now, I did not say it couldn't be debated in principle (i.e. via restrictive measures such as thread locking/abusing mod privilages etc), so, in the context of our exchange, your argument falls rather flat here.
Yes...but by intonation you REFUSE to enter into any debate at all...therefore that negates the possibility of doing so...either in principle or not...
...arguement ?:) ...what arguement...?...I haven't argued with anybody -{
Wrong on both counts.

Is this post for real.
"unless EON go back to basics" Hmmm like Casino Royale, which is one of the best Bond films ever.
If Fleming had seen the films between 72 and 85, no doubt he would have sued, or got drunk, or both.
You obviously have never read a Bond book. Or any book not published by Ladybird for that matter.
Oh well...that's told me then !
Frogwash! Fleming would have been disgusted with CR! As are REAL Bond fans!
Hmmm, the evidence would suggest you are wrong. International box office hit. Fleming fans like myself loving it. etc etc. Point me in the direction of this gaggle of REAL Bond fans in uproar against the film.
Perhaps those are the high-minded fellows from danielcraigspicturenexttoamonkey.com, the ones who executed that brilliant boycott of CR back in '06.

Aaah, quite. The vocal minority that are scared of blonde actors
They do have a valid point though: daniel craig is not a worthy candidate for Bond. Only Moore is, but they seem not to have discovered that revelation yet.

From that post, it would seem that you have little realisation of what a valid point is.
Why do Bank Holidays always draw the kids who have their first bits of freedom in being able to stop up late on a Sunday.
Hogwash! Sir Rog still looks 49 and not a day older. Craig looks 59 and that's on a good day.
In your opinion, and it really is only your opinion. Christ, you really have not met him lately then. He looks good, but he looks like a grandad.
^ Waffle. Every word of it!
One thing I like about Bond is the diversity of the different actors that played Bond.
Daniel Craig is great and hope he sticks around for a couple more.
1 - Moore, 2 - Dalton, 3 - Craig, 4 - Connery, 5 - Brosnan, 6 - Lazenby
With you there, Jarv. Each successive actor contributes to the notion of Bond alluded to by Kingsley Amis in The James Bond Dossier: "The man who is only a silhouette." B-)
"I am not an entrant in the Shakespeare Stakes." - Ian Fleming
"Screw 'em." - Daniel Craig, The Best James Bond EverTM
agreed whole heartedly, Jarv. Danny should stick around for a few more at least!
Bond is a young man's game. poor Sir Rog wouldn't fair too well, and it would be such a shame to lose a man who does SO much these days for UNICEF.
