What Did You Call Me?!

I've got something for you to handle.

Sorry, can't help myself. I think my appreciation for -awful- one liners stems from my adoration for James Bond movies.

I will always prefer "I expect you to die, Mister Bond"
 
I will always prefer "I expect you to die, Mister Bond"

It's:

"Do you expect me to talk Goldfinger?"

"Noooo, Mister Bond! I expect you to die!"

Classic. Nerd Fact for everyone:

The actor who played Goldfinger could not speak English. His entire voice was dubbed in the film.

Heh. At least the plot in older movies like Goldfinger was better than some of the newer ones.
 
If you go to a Bond film looking for anything resembling a plot, though, you're missing the point.

All the films are about the following things:

Exotic Locations
Exotic Cars
Gadgets
Guns
Girls

God bless the Bond films. Very few "guy" movies exist anymore.
 
Here's one...I call Leo the devil behind his back most of the time *giggles* He knows though.

Firmhanded_Daddy is the slag fucker...don't even ask how that nickname came about but it has stuck since forever!

Ausus is my wife, wifey, Sinful, my Sinful Beauty

Marauder is my bastard and knight.

Vail is my Pretty and my Predator

Chronie is my Jesus

More later....apparently I have homework *grumbles and dashes off to write a PM*

I shouldn't feed into this problem of yours, but I'm an enabler!

This is something that is going to have to be solved hands on, I think.

Brilliant!!! goldfinger!! One of my favourite Bond movies!!

I like the old Sean Connery and Roger Moore ones the best. Pierce Brosnan was good too. Didn't like Timothy Dalton, and the most reacent ones are totally lacking the tongue in cheek bit, that made them the quinessential Bond!

Really, I -just- sent DA a message about how much fun I have reading you, her, and Vail.

So enable away. You three are quickly becoming favorites of mine.

I like your list. So then to make any film into a "guy" film, one must first remove plot, and then, bit by bit, remove any element resembling real-life human interaction. Distracting oneself from the film's deficiencies with shiny objects is a plus.

Geesh, no wonder I never made it as a director. ;)

Agreed on all points. The new films with Daniel Craig are -much- better films but I really miss the quips and the quacks that came with the others. The perfections of the Bond movies came from all the imperfections.

Like Jaws. Who doesn't miss that guy?

Fun fact. The M from the Brosnan ones is supposed to be the SECOND M...the old M died, and his daughter, the original Moneypenny, became the new M (and her daughter became the new Moneypenny). Unfortunately, when they made the PREQUELS, they didn't revert to a male M.....

I'd like to think I'm a pretty bright guy. I'm a film geek. I am the guy that notices camera angles and coloration.

But.

Your statement is -way- more true then most would like to admit.

They are, in fact, much better films, but completely different from anything that came before.
You can't even really compare them, in a lot of ways.

LOL! He was a really good baddie. I also liked odd job ( the little guy with the bowler hat). Ian Flemming wrote the books with a tongue in cheek approach. In the Man with the Golden Gun Scaramanga has Bond's secretary, Mary Goodnight tied to a rail line, and the approaching train, is going to kill her as she struggles wildly, and Scaramanga has the great line "Ah, Miss Goodnight, well, this is certainly goodnight to her!"

Here are a few more classic Bond one liners.

Smiles and kisses his cheek

Charmer. Continue with the one liners.

I can't. Rendered helpless after the chastity of the affection.

I see a gauzy dress, balcony doors thrown open, candles, a sleek thigh curling its way around my hip.
