I just really enjoyed his first movie, but perhaps that's the story line that grabbed me.<BR/><BR/>I was rooting for Brosnan when he was the skinny Steele and was selected then de-selected when his a-hole producer capitalized on his new fame by renewing the Remington Steele show, which made it impossible for him to do the Bond movie, leading to the atrocious Dalton years.<BR/><BR/>I really liked him in the role, and it was probably for the best, he, to me, was much better older, as he filled out his body and wasn't so skinny anymore.<BR/><BR/>I like Moore, but he was sleepwalking through the role at the end and that put him down in my eyes.obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23735245.post-58073764195690759612008-09-12T05:14:00.000-07:002008-09-12T05:14:00.000-07:00Hmm, I agree with most of your list, I might swap ...Hmm, I agree with most of your list, I might swap Moore with Brosan.

I would rank them in this order today:<BR/><BR/>Sean Connery<BR/>Pierce Brosnan<BR/>Daniel Craig<BR/>Roger Moore<BR/>David Niven/Woody Allen<BR/>George Lazenby (though I sometimes switch him with Dalton; I really didn't like Dalton in the role, whereas Lazenby was just "eh", nothing much either way, which is a shame, since he was probably paired with one of the better Bond girls, Diana Riggs, from the Avengers)<BR/>Timothy Daltonobsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23735245.post-88531623127139037332008-09-11T17:52:00.000-07:002008-09-11T17:52:00.000-07:00Nice, I've always been a fan of Moore as Bond.

I would have bet anything that they would have had a sequel to it, but I guess Jim Carrey is too big to do sequels for a while now (the Mask was another natural; I think the only one was the one that launched him, Ace Ventura?)<BR/><BR/>I think the Giants chances of winning 17 games in a row is probably more like a Googol raised to a Googol power. But as James Bond once said, "Never Say Never Again." (Speaking of movies I love, I once attended a marathon viewing of James Bond movies at my college, it was named something like "5 Days of Bondage" or something kinky like that. Of course, there were less movies back then and I think Roger Moore just came out with OctoPussy around then... )obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23735245.post-12127536474714536692008-09-11T08:09:00.000-07:002008-09-11T08:09:00.000-07:00Totally reminds me of this line from the cinema ma...Totally reminds me of this line from the cinema masterpiece, Dumb and Dumber:<BR/><BR/><I>Lloyd: What are the chances of a guy like you and a girl like me... ending up together?<BR/>Mary: Well, that's pretty difficult to say.<BR/>Lloyd: Hit me with it!
