Which Bond Star would be a better character for a Lit story?

[sirhugs]

The success of the Bond movie screams for a parody- not that I'd try to write it, I'm not ready. Or maybe a 'behind the scenes " sex with Pierce and Halle?

sorry, there is no bond but connery.

he could read from the phone book and I'd swoon.

I think Roger Moore was great as James Bond - but still, I have to agree: Sean Connery was the best.

As for other Bond characters .... what about Denise Richards ? I mean, she has this big boobs, and a big mouth with nice lips. I just try to imagine, how she sucks my cock .... WOW

Nascar- there are a couple of Denise Richards stories up. None Bond related though.

Sean Connery wasn't bad, but Pierce Brosnan is easily the best James Bond. Actually considered writing a story based on Goldeneye, but decided that I really couldn't be arsed.

I think that Pierce Brosnan is a horrible bond. He's far too short and slight of build to be James Bond, who is supposed to be a man's man as well as playboy. I haven't seen any Pierce Brosnan Bond movie in its entirety, but from what I have seen, he's a waifish little poofter, who'd be right at home wearing a skirt, and not at all how Ian Fleming envisioned Bond.

Of course Sean Connery was, hand's down, the best of the Bonds. Roger Moore wasn't bad either.

Sean Connery was nothing like Ian Fleming imagined Bond. The Bond films share little with the books and Fleming hated most of them. Compare the book of Dr No to the film and you'll see the book is infinitely better.

Fleming saw Bond as a cold man, who took pride in his work.
The films see Bond as an action hero who takes pride in his ability to seduce women.

Not saying I don't like the films, but Ian Fleming actually had little to do with the movies, so it's a little specious to bring his opinion into it.

If you've not seen any Bond film in it's entirity, then how can you judge whether Brosnan's a "waifish little poofter, who'd be right at home wearing a skirt"? Brosnan is actually the same build as Connery and a couple of inches taller, so I don't know where you got that from.

Brosnan's actually not been given very good scripts as Bond. Goldeneye was fantastic but Tomorrow Never Dies and The World Is Not Enough were weak and I thought Die Another Day was shockingly bad.

I beg to differ, Fleming wrote the books on which the earlier, and infinitely superior, Bond movies were based. I fail to see how his opinion wouldn't matter. As a matter of fact, Fleming originally thought that even Connery was too refined for the role. If he thought that of Connery, a man of undeniable raw machismo, I can well imagine what he would've thought of the altogether foppish Pierce Brosnan.

I never said that I hadn't seen any Bond film in it's entirety. I said that I've never seen a Brosnan Bond film in it's entirety. I simply cannot abide his affected poncing about. So, while I've seen the beginning of both "Goldeneye" and "Tomorrow Never Dies," in both instances I soon bailed. Having been driven from the theater by these dreadfully written and insipidly acted films, I feel justified in rendering my opinion.

I can't really argue Connery's and Brosnan's relative heights, as I don't definitively know how tall they are respectively. If indeed Brosnan is taller than Connery, and that remains in question, then Connery's forceful demeanor and masculinity make him appear taller. As to their physiques, Sean Connery was a Body builder before taking the Bond role. Pierce Brosnan has the build of a bobble-head doll, i.e. a big head tottering precariously on a pencil-like neck and reedy little body. Although, Connery in his seventies may now have a build that approximates Brosnan's in his prime.

On the whole, I think that Chris Barrie would make a more convincing James Bond than Pierce Brosnan. At least he has something in the way of a personality. In the end, this simply comes down to a matter of opinion. I think that Pierce Brosnan's cinematic crimes against humanity merit his being drawn and quartered, and you don't.
