My wife is a fan of Pierce Brosnan as Bond. I think I still plump for Connery, mainly because he more accurately fits Ian Fleming's characterisation. However, I do enjoy Craig's films, but they have moved the role into a new era, but still a long way from what goes on out there in the real world of espionage I suspect. Fleming didn't want him. He wanted someone more like himself, a David Niven type.

[Link] Personally, Connery was & still is my favourite, Moore was 'ok' made the yanks enjoy it more & was a housewives choice. Lazenby was a disaster, Dalton wasn't much better, Brosnan was far better & was disappointed he didn't sign for more, never got on with Craig too PC for my liking, tho i do agree with the poster who said he portrayed Bond for what he was, an assassin.
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

I think that was a joke parodying the silly Bond girls of the earlier movies who shriek and get caught. The lady (Ana De Armas) knew how to fight and was sexy I was gutted it was just a cameo. The big disappointment was Lashana Lynch I have seen wardrobes less wooden and more scary. You new man you. I just want them to make me a sandwich....before retiring to the bedroom.....naturally.

Not sure what you mean? The answer is hundreds of movies and TV shows. I mean the perpetuated stereotype of 'Cowboys versus Indians', beloved by every little boy of the 1960s. To be blunt: the notion of Cowboys killing Indians and vice versa. Cowboys are people who look after or drive cattle, whereas Indians are...well..Indians! I'm merely asking (I don't know the answer) are there lots of old movies featuring gunfights between Cowboys and Indians, or is it a bit of a myth?

I'm merely asking (I don't know the answer) are there lots of old movies featuring gunfights between Cowboys and Indians, or is it a bit of a myth? If you mean specifically cowboys and excluding settlers / townsfolk / cavalry etc the number comes down but still a lot of movies and TV shows. What really happened on cattle drives was this: Small Indian raiding parties preferred to sneak off a few cows under cover of darkness as they were starving (the buffalo had been wiped out). They tried to avoid a fight with the cowboys as they were poorly armed and outnumbered. Larger number of well armed Indians would run a protection racket e.g. if you want to come through here you have to give us a few cows or lose your herd. In general Indians would only attack white people if they had overwhelming odds hence the cliche of the wagon train or homestead being circled by Indians on horse back. Did you know that cowboys was originally a pejorative term? If you worked with cattle there were various terms such cattlemen, herdsmen, stevedores etc, it was a respected profession. Cowboys were cattle rustlers so if you called someone that and they weren't they would be insulted. Edited by Badger11 (02 Feb 2022 5.37pm)

Edited by Badger11 (02 Feb 2022 5.37pm) i do recall that 'El Cowboy' was a Latin-American pejorative term for Ronald Reagan. Getting back to jobs in Military Intelligence & Spying. The real job seems to involve sitting in an upstairs derelict hideout for seven days , staring through a telescopic lens, taking notes of car reg plates and all the while sh1tting in a bucket.

This is a question that's is almost always dependent on age. The older of us tend to root for Connery, those in their 40s and 50s seem to like Roger Moore and the nippers fight it out amongst themselves over Brosnan and Craig. I quite like Craig and Dalton was the closest they ever got to the literary Bond but.... .... Connery nails it for me.

Very Post-modern. Not very James Bond. And certainly not very Austin Powers. Ooh behave.
