Pierce Brosnan is your favorite Bond actor?

[–] JimmyChanga 58 points 9 months ago

That's the actual shocking part

Mine too actually!... I guess not anymore. Might have something to do with playing hundreds of hours of 007 nightfire as a kid.

Ew night fire? Not golden eye?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 9 months ago

Not everyone is a kid during the same era, now go drink your Ovaltine!

(Golden eye was better for sure)

Nope, my progression was NES > PS2 because I was poor. I missed out on a lot, though I got to play my friend's N64 a few times.

He’s the one whose movies were in theaters in the 90’s and early 00’s. (Personally, I’d go with Dalton.)

That is so much of what drives people's opinions I think. My favourite bands are still the ones that I found when I was in highschool and college. Some of them were current and otherwise.

If I had to pick a favourite bond actor it would be Brosnan because he was bond when I was kid.

I have to remind myself of this when something gets remade. It doesn't mean the first one was good, that was just what my nostalgia reminds me of.

Not saying nuance doesn't exist, but for things that people don't really think about, nostalgia is powerful.

Thank you. I was about to ask for those of us who don’t follow actors, who that was

connery is more charming, moore is more earnest and craig got to star after they stopped writing scripts where the female leads had names like Hellacious Vag

Fun fact! They only changed that because of Austin Powers. In fact Austin Powers almost killed the James Bond movie franchise entirely because the satire was so on point.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In 12 points 9 months ago

Invisible cars, bad CGI and nonsensical plots were killing 007. AP just highlighted that.

Fair that was apparently fleming’s choice. I’ve always been partial to a spot of Tim dalton tbh. I always felt roger Moore was the saint first and bond second somehow but yeah good choice good choice

[–] MrJameGumb 3 points 9 months ago

I did like Timothy Dalton, but I feel like he wasn't in enough films to really get to know him in the role lol
