IMO one of the factors that makes the Craig movies great is the tension between him and Dench. Another (less important) is that Felix is finally written well.

Am I the only one who hasn't seen Connery's Bond recently enough to judge? I think Craig plays a very good Bond, and all three of the recent movies have at least been enjoyable. I remember Connery being awesome as Bond, but I can't even remember when I last watched one of those movies.

Stop by Nappy's every Thursday. Speak to him with a Scottish accent for extras.

To extend the comparison to Jason Bourne again, I don't think Connery Bond would really care if he lost his memory.

Sadly, I'm a very average 5'10". But I have more Scottish blood in me than Craig.

Then he could have sex with the same woman twice.

A secret agent must be able-bodied, there are no exceptions to this rule. Now I don't know where James Bond (specifically the Daniel Craig version) found the time between saving the world and seducing scantily clad women to hit the gym 5-6 times a week, but he certainly knew the importance of being physically fit.

Let’s face it. Bond wouldn’t have had nearly as much success that he did (especially with the ladies) if he was packing his Walter PPK beneath his beer gut. The truth is, it’s easier to extract information from people when they are attracted to you. Bond knew the importance of this, and is exactly why he kept himself in tiptop shape. He never needed to know any fancy extraction techniques with those naughty ladies; all he ever had to do was get them alone, fix them a drink, take his shirt of, and voila! Instant access to a wealth of information that only a sexy henchwoman would know!

So what’s his secret? Obviously Bond didn’t have the time to drive down to the local Gold’s Gym 5-6 days a week, although that’s what Daniel Craig’s physique might have you believe. What Bond did was get his workouts in however he could. Often on the go and crunched for time, a 00-agent needs the total package of strength and conditioning in the least amount of time possible….get ready for it…because here comes a shameless product plug!

That’s right! James Bond himself was a huge advocate of metabolic conditioning, and his weapon of choice was non-other than the Russian Kettlebell. Believe it or not, he used a tool from one of the regimes that he combated and hated the most, but that’s because Mr. Bond is a smart dude.

Turd used to be alright but then something must have happened to him. He may be suffering from a flaccid weiner and weirdly enough, kookyballz are the only thing than can give him a firm erection.

A little known affliction, popularly referred to as 'Tamer Syndrome' in the medical community.

Recently, I tried to watch some of "Diamonds are Forever." Sucked. So bad that I didn't even stay to watch Jill St. John, who is one hot ginger.
Connery/Bond stands around a funeral home & gets conked on the head by two faggy hippies, who put him in the cremation oven. He gets saved by the bell, no thanks to any of his Super Secret Agent Skills.
