My husband is several years older than I am and he still insists that Sean Connery played the best Bond. I on the other hand prefer James Bond in this order:
1 - Pierce Brosnan
2 - Roger Moore
3 - Sean Connery
4 - Daniel Craig
5 - Timothy Dalton (I did like License to Kill)
You really can’t beat Pierce Brosnan and Judi Dench. They made quite a team. Here they are starting out together in Goldeneye.
somewhere along the line with pierce and daniel craig the bond movies got too long and boring for me. idk. maybe i’m wrong and it’s not just the length. i like roger moore alright but i’m with your husband. judi dench better than all of them !
i was chopping it up on the music thread with @damiano and we both like view to a kill. duran duran grace jones tanya roberts and christopher walken. what more do you need ! oh yeah roger moore …
" Remington Steele made a lasting star of Pierce Brosnan and won him the role of James Bond. Not without some controversy, though; Brosnan was cast in The Living Daylights after Steele had been cancelled, but as soon as the announcement had been made, NBC uncanceled the show at the very last minute , using contractual obligation to force Brosnan to give up the role and return to TV. Timothy Dalton ended up playing Bond in that film, and Brosnan had to wait for almost ten years to play Bond in 1995’s GoldenEye . The show also made a lesser star of Stephanie Zimbalist (daughter of Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) for the duration of its run."
Finished 1883: bleak and slow moving versus Yellowstone, but grander and more epic. Not necessarily better, just different. Women will love this series what with all the romance and poetic voice over texts!
We enjoyed 1883 and are enjoying 1923 too. I even downloaded a ‘family tree’ with pictures so we could be sure how the narrative would continue through to Yellowstone (which we think is one of the better series of recent years).
We’ve been seeing news pieces to the effect that rodeo (especially ‘cutting’ of cows) has skyrocketed in popularity and that it’s hard to find a cowboy hat at retail.
