Face it chaps. You will feel better.

According to IMDB YOLT has never been rereleased.

I doubt IMDB is that accurate. I remember back-to-back screenings of the Bonds being shown in my local cinema in the late 70's too. If a local cinema had bought the film reels to do this, I doubt it is noted down in the history books as a `re-release' officially.

Of which films?

[stockslivevan]

Oh and by the way. Rupert Penry Jones and all those other Brosnan type suave, (some might say creepy) candidates for Bond.

I don't know about creepy. I think the word you are looking for is handsome. Fleming described Bond as film star handsome, tall, dark, etc, but then what the f**k did he know about anything.

He also described Bond as a nasty looking customer. When Viv Michel first meets him in TSWLM, her initial impression was that Bond was a villain.

But like you said, what the f**k did he know about anything......

And that there was a cold and ruthless quality to him, as Vesper said. Craig's defiantly got the cruel mouth.

Movie star looks back then didn't mean Ambercrombie and Fitch.

A few of the Connery ones, but I cannot remember which. I was a kid back then, but I remember seeing the posters outside the cinema, and pestering my dad to go......(sadly we didn't).

That's not the only problem. Jimyjazz's dates are all off.

In what way...?

[stockslivevan]

How are they "all off"? He watched them on special showings. Last year a local theater showed all 21 Bond films. Heck go to LA and you'll find theaters showing old films.

[katied]

I don't believe for a minute that Jimmyjazz saw YOLT at the movie theater. I don't believe he's as old as he is (in fact he's much younger..maybe 20's or early 30's). Sorry to go all girl detective but his story is made up.

Unbelieveable!

Why, because he likes Daniel Craig? Would you be calling him a liar if he hated Daniel Craig?

BTW, while we are on the subject, what do you think of QoS now? (Watches Katied quickly disappear from thread....)

[stockslivevan]

I don't get how he could be lying simply because he stated he saw YOLT in the 70s. It's not like special screenings didn't exist back then.

[katied]

Sorry but I call bullsh!t on everything Jimmyjazz has said. *smug*

It's not just about Daniel Craig, it's about being a fanboy who claims to be in his 40's when he's really 25. *I* saw through him so fast it's not even funny.I could really care less about what Bond films he likes and dislikes or which Bonds he likes(and dislikes). But claiming stuff that even I know is made up? c'mon.

Forget it stocks. This kind of behaviour towards a new member who has a differing opinion shows that this forum has the same level of tolerance that MI6 supposedly has - something which members here are constantly criticizing, yet double-standards are starting to rear their ugly head now on here.

Eh? Again, where do you get these ideas that he's 25?

And while we are on the subject of bulls!tters, what do you think of QOS now?

[stockslivevan]

I call bulls**t on everything Katied said. She's clearly a five year old boy.

[stockslivevan]

OH SNAP SHE'S NOT REPLYING!

[katied]

If there was ever a showing of Bond films in Jimmyjazz' hometown I seriously doubt he went to it. His parents, *maybe*.....But not Jimmyjazz himself.

Wow! I wish I had your lie detector skills. You are a real asset to this forum.

Old films have special showings at individual cinemas all the time, even today, so I think watching You Only Live Twice in the seventies is believable.

As for getting the members here to change their opinions on Craig - forget it. They will still be here saying the same old things when Craig has made another 2 Bond films. They will NEVER change their opinion on him, its as simple as that.

Why do members suddenly turn up here and say: "you are wrong about Daniel Craig, he is brilliant , listen to me". Am I supposed to change my opinion of Daniel Craig's suitabliity as Bond because someone says that? Have you changed your opinion on Die Another Day recently?

I'll never change my opinion on DAD, the same way I wouldn't expect any of you (barring one particular individual) to change your opinion on DC.

Exactly.And that,among other things,is what makes Jimmyjazz a bit suspect.

Hello again. And first can I say thank you to The Sweeney for defending my position on seeing the Bond back to back screening in mid 70's. And all you others. My poor mother (in her mid 70's herself) is trailing to town sometime this week to go through 70's issues of the local paper, The Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, to see if she can track down the newspaper ad. (Yes I've become that sad!). Of course you won't trust that with photoshop claims no doubt coming my way. I would check myself but I live in Oxford now so I'm miles away. I would however like to track the advert down myself, make a nice little project.

By the way Katied. I wish I was the age you think I am!! 44 I'm afraid, married with 2 kids and a mortgage. You might be right on the fat front, (where did that belly come from?). Not the Bond life I thought I was gonna have. A college lecturer and a fine upstanding citizen. Why would I lie about such matters?

Also you might want to check out the Bond double bills that were screened in the late 60's. Now I obviously didn't see them but it shows that the films were shown after their original release.

Oh and those insults were a bit strong. I now understand why you crave for an English gent to play Bond.....to teach manners to our American 'friends'.
