Timothy Dalton better than Roger Moore?
Absolutely no way!
I think this matter calls for a thread of it's own!

[Groundhog]

This is getting political ... the best Bond?

Sean Connery... hands down

But Roger Moore is the most British

And I think the current Daniel Craig is the most realistic 'spy'

George Lazenby is the most forgettable (who?)

Timothy Dalton is the Brit most likely to be taken for an American

... who have I left out?

[Snick]

you forgot David Niven

(katoeylover @ Feb. 26 2007,22:20) The worst Bond by a long way.    Even Timothy Dalton was better.

Best Bond : Sean Connery

i would hardly call the oscar-winning, 70mm feature film "casino royale" (1967) - with participating directors including woody allen and john huston - a "tv version" of anything!

though i will readily admit it sucked.


perhaps if david niven had been allowed to play it 'straight' he could've been a decent bond...though i believe he was already a bit too old for the role. but if you include him, you must include *all* the actors who portrayed james bond in that film.


none of whom could compare to sean connery.

no other bond could.

Casino Royale is a 1967 surreal comedy film originally produced by Columbia Pictures starring Peter Sellers and David Niven. Ostensibly a spoof of the James Bond film series and the spy genre, it is very lightly based on Ian Fleming's first Bond novel, which was published in 1953. It features Orson Welles as the villain Le Chiffre, battling James Bond in the guises of Sir James Bond (David Niven) and six other James Bonds: Terence Cooper (nick-named Coop), Woody Allen (as Bond's nephew Jimmy Bond), Joanna Pettet (as Mata Bond, the illegitimate daughter of Mata Hari and James Bond), Daliah Lavi (as The Detainer), Ursula Andress (as Vesper Lynd) and Peter Sellers (as card sharp Evelyn Tremble, impersonating Bond at Casino Royale to play baccarat against Le Chiffre).

Prior to the release, producer Charles K. Feldman had acquired the film rights and attempted to get Casino Royale made as an official James Bond movie (i.e. one made by EON Productions); however, the producers of the official series, Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, turned him down. Believing he couldn't compete with the official series, Feldman then adapted the novel as a spoof of not only James Bond, but also the entire spy fiction genre; the Sellers€“Welles segment is the only portion based upon the novel.

Casino Royale was the first of two non-EON Bond films produced (the second was 1983's Never Say Never Again). Despite being based (albeit loosely) upon a Fleming novel, and the fact that the film's distribution rights had recently reverted to MGM (the company that is partially responsible for the official Bond series), and now once again distributed by Columbia Pictures (via the Sony/Comcast consortium's acquisition of MGM), Casino Royale is not considered an official James Bond film based on (a) the fact it was not produced by EON Productions and (b) this film is openly a parody, featuring a plot that is not even consistent with itself.

Well Pattaya News has a lot of coverage on the double Russian murder on Jomtien Beach. Most of the news is the city council trying not to loose the big Russian tourist rubbles. With Russians quickly becoming a strong tourist player and the Russian mafia coming in with the tourists this was bound to happen. Why not pay a local Thai 100,000 Baht to murder someone instead of doing it yourself?

The one thing I did not know is how many surveillance cameras they actually have in Pattaya..I hope they don't turn them into webcams! I would hate for my boss to see my strolling down walking street with a LB

[katoeylover]

I am sure there are more cameras than you think!!!

I read that the whole of Oxford and Regent Street are now covered 24 hrs a day, and you are captured on a camera at least 10 times a day in the UK.
