What if YOU met Babs or MGW?

[John P. Drake]

If I meet MGW, I'd tell him that he has Alzheimer. If I meet Babs, I'll tell her to resign from being an EON producer.

[Dr. No]

If it was just the once, I would have just assumed it was a typo and ignored it, but he has called him "Indian Jone" several times, so it got me wondering if there was some reference I was missing. Sometimes a commonly-made mistake becomes a sort of in-joke, like saying "hugh" instead of "huge".

With BJ and FBF you never know I didn't noticed I misspelled it the chrome autocheck thought whatever I originally spelled was closer to Indian

I wonder if Connery is OK, they way he avoids public appearances is not uncommon for celebrities suffering from a debilitating conditions.

I'm surprised MGW hasn't retired

[bjmdds]

I knew you misspelled it Dr. No. I want to somehow meet the green vegetable in NYC and have a chat with her. MGW IS retired......he is just unaware of it. Why do you like 3 better than 1? That's unusual.

LOOOOOOOOL!!!!! Awesome joke, Bjmdds.

if i met babs and MGW.... id have babs Carted off to the Mad-House and have MGW put into a care home, seriously, he needs help, he's clearly not well, and that blasted boiled vegetable is mental enough for ARKHAM RUDDY ASYLUM! let alone any real world mad-house. i mean, she thinks Emoism is "cool" and that Cr-egg is a good Bond....she makes Joker (Mark Hamill, BTAS) look sane!

then pass the film rights to warner brothers.
simple as that, loonies cant own film rights.

[Barry Niven]

It's almost a shame Harry Saltzman sold HIS rights to United Artists (who became Cubby's not-so-silent partner until the later mergers with MGM/Sony/etc. muddied the waters further) way back in 1975 to alleviate his own multiple financial problems, then IF his own kids were involved in the continuation of the Bond movies maybe their involvement could've discouraged Babs & MGW's (to put it gently) mismanagement.

BUT... that's a big almost since the differences and estrangement of Broccoli & Saltzman was so final (and well documented) that any professional reconciliation for the Greater Good was always just a pipe-dream. And even if the Saltzman kids were able and willing to be involved, I doubt Babs' own control-freak issues would tolerate any interference to her control now.

[John P. Drake]

No disrespect to women in there, but here's what I can tell Babs...

[kater23]

JackJamesBond:In Babs' case, it's the God's honest truth!

[John P. Drake]

Agreed.

[Daltonite Toothpaste]

I'd have to adopt the "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" policy.

IMO this is what most people would do. Its fun to say I ask them why they hate Bond so much but I know I would chicken out

Well, there would be an urge to pelt them with rotten fruit (lemons?). But seeing as they're gonna cast James D'Arcy after Craig, they can't be all that bad.

[Goldeneye]

Face to face it would have to be;
"Bring Back Bond!"

[Kristatos]

Face to face it would have to be;
"Bring Back Bond!"

Trouble is, they can now say "*Our* Bond grossed a billion dollars, why the hell should we?"

I can simply respond to that: "We all know that it wasn't your rubbish story or performance that grossed the film a billion dollars, it was the advert of the "50th Anniversary" event that brought you all that blood money, if you deny this, then I really fear for your bloody sanity. The cinematic federation has decided to "honour" your franchise with those billion dollars you've earned. Be it released in a regular year, it would've been a huge flop, you're SO stupid not to admit that and effin' lie to the mindless audiences out there".

Not to mention that critics were hyping Skyfall to be the best Bond film ever.

Obviously.

[Kristatos]

But no film grosses that amount of money without extensive repeat business. Clearly, audiences are buying what EON is selling, and it is us who are out of step with mainstream opinion. Personally, I'm used to that, though I don't think I will ever cease to be irritated by people who tell me that I have to like the rebooted "Bond" because everybody else does.

Only mindless people like teenagers do.

[bjmdds]

The minions have fallen under the Imperious curse of Eon. We have been smart enough not to buy into what the demented one heading Eon is selling.

I couldn't agree more, sir.
