Sweeping Strings 2,747 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 How about ... 'James Bond is better than everything or nothing'? It's what EON (the name of the production company that produces the Bonds) stands for and also the name of the '04 Bond Playstation game 'starring' Brosnan. So he did get to play him a fifth time, sort of. Disco Stu and Lady Dimitrescu 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Dutton 7,714 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Pierce looks good. I haven't seen him in anything since Die Another Day, at which point he still looked about the same as he did the first time we all saw him in Mrs. Doubtfire. I'd seen apparently bs clickbait stories about him wanting Bond to be played by a woman and I guess this was the source? He seems like a real down to Earth guy. He was an awesome 007.

Myers once mooted the idea of having a new Powers flick come out in every year a new Bond one did, although that would've meant another four with an upcoming fifth and maybe the joke would've worn thinner than Connery's hair.

Disco Stu 15,506 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Because I love Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies but don’t really like TWINE and DAD, I guess I wish Bruce Feirstein had gotten more shots at Bond. I must say I’ve never been a fan of Purvis and Wade, they have two good Bond movies that I don’t like as much as conventional wisdom and 4 I don’t really like at all. I hope their association with the franchise is coming to an end after No Time to Die. Anyway I’m watching TND and Pryce is still my NUMBER ONE Bond baddie ever.
