Live and Let Die - guys, this movie has to go. Let’s go. We’re at that line of getting to the very good ones and this ain’t one of them

Hm…
I really want to vote Skyfall, but that’s not likely to go soon either, curses… Let’s try Tomorrow Never Dies. At least tentatively.

Sa[lzmar]kaar, the only reason I hadn't voted for Skyfall before now was because I figured the same as you - that it was unlikely to be voted for by anyone else, but now that I know I have an ally in you...I'll gladly vote for Skyfall next if you're still willing to vote for that one too.

Sure, I’ll switch to Skyfall, but I’m not sure we’ll get anyone else to go along with us… (I really want to save Live and Let Die for the time being—for the funeral murder if nothing else.) As we’re possibly the only two Bond fans who didn’t like Skyfall, I have to ask: why didn’t you like it? I mostly just found it long and tedious, full of wink-wink in-jokes without actually bringing back an old-fashioned Bondian mood. I didn’t particularly like the villain, I’m not interested in Bond’s backstory, and all in all it just felt like a generic modern action thriller (Bourne or Nolan or whatever) to me. And it’s got about a zillion plot holes (oh, the British Secret Service has an easily-escapable sewer line under its facility. Really?), but that’s honestly the least of my worries. The only things I think I liked about it, in fact, were Ralph Fiennes’ M and Naomie Harris’ Moneypenny; if only they were in better movies!

That funeral scene is indeed fantastic. I'd completely forgotten what happens and was waiting with anticipation during that video.
Unfortunately... I'm jumping on the bandwagon, if only to save Skyfall, which I (mostly) love.

(And the weird thing is I don’t even really like the movie, I just love some things about it.) EDIT: I’m getting so heated over a Bond survivor game, I’m mixing up my tenses! Grammarians, shield your eyes!

I borrowed a bunch of the Moores on Blu Ray from my brother so I'll be watching LaLD again soon for the first time in a long while. Maybe I'll end up regretting this vote!

You probably won’t end up liking it more, to be honest: it’s a pretty weak and cheesy movie, all things considered, if a fun one with some great things about it. But do give Moonraker another try; the space scenes may be ridiculous, but it has some really great stuff in it (methinks). I used to hate the Moores and have slowly been rediscovering their goofy charms.

Round 007 is over. Live and Let Die - 4 votes Skyfall - 2 votes Sadly, Live and Let Die has pulled the 'Death' card. Live and Let Die has been ELIMINATED.Round 8. Dr. No (1962) From Russia with Love (1963) Goldfinger (1964) Thunderball (1965) You Only Live Twice (1967) On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) For Your Eyes Only (1981) Octopussy (1983) The Living Daylights (1987) GoldenEye (1995) Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) Casino Royale (2006) Quantum of Solace (2008) Skyfall (2012) As we’re possibly the only two Bond fans who didn’t like Skyfall, I have to ask: why didn’t you like it? I mostly just found it long and tedious, full of wink-wink in-jokes without actually bringing back an old-fashioned Bondian mood.

The only things I think I liked about it, in fact, were Ralph Fiennes’ M and Naomie Harris’ Moneypenny; if only they were in better movies! Listing my reasons for ‘not liking’ (to put it mildly) Skyfall would take as long as listing my reasons for not liking Thor: Ragnarok. Suffice to say, my reasons are many and you just skimmed the surface of why it’s my least favourite Bond film.

Tomorrow Never Dies
For several reasons - The title was supposed to be Tomorrow Never Lies (a much better title) - It’s all action and very little substance, they pretty much never use the gimmick of Carver being able to manipulate the media in a way that actually impacts the plot. It’s more or less a complete mcguffin. The main henchman is a torture expert but never uses it. Terry Hatcher is said to have a deep history with James but we never learn what makes her so special to him. It’s a ton of hot air - Michelle Yeow’s character is that female spy counterpart type, which is fun but then often doesn’t make sense. For instance there’s this whole side quest for bond to find a decoder to locate something else, but then yeow just beats him to it anyway without the decoder. No explanation given, she just does. So is Bond like an idiot or what’s going on? - Why kill this bad guy? Wouldn’t the optimal end be exposing his lies to the world and letting him suffer the abuse of that in the articles of his own paper?
IDK. It just seems like they crafted 6 separate action sets and patched in a few scenes to make them stick together and called it a James Bond film. It’s fine if you’re doing housework while it’s on in the background but we’ve gotten to the point that type of film has to go.

The Man with The Golden Gun I can’t argue with it going at this point but I do think it has an interesting twist. The whole premise is that Scaramanga wants to duel James Bond, only for it to turn out that he wasn’t actually planning to but now that James tracked him down he might as well. A rare genuine 360 turn.

What do you think about a film like FYEO where he's more or less serious the entire time? BTW I actually Lazenby did really damn good. That scene where he snatches the gun away from Tracy. Bad ass. I would have liked to have seen more from him and Dalton

Reminds me of The Octopussoir that took the place of Princess Clara's vagina in the animated series Drawn Together. ![](https://media1.tenor.com/images/d2497ad5722aff77fadafd4b4eb7eece/tenor.gif) Anyway, I am also voting for the precursor to Shaktopus and Octokitty. ![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/70/00/a6/7000a6605b61f8c5c2b501dde563bdec.jpg) ![](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1143958944601268224/pZI1upGY_400x400.jpg) Bringing the current tally to: Octopussy - 2 votes Tomorrow Never Dies - 2 votes The Man with the Golden Gun - 1 vote
