Oh god no... not another James Bond marathon! :eek:

Granted, I liked them originally so I could get them DVR'd, but now that I have them, I don't need anymore marathons, so they can stop showing them. ;)

Add another movie for the Hopper/Joey folks. Starring Hopper and Joey. Making it's entertainment debut is S213!!! S213 plays the part of an evil villan. He sneaks into peoples homes and makes thier TV viewing experiance a living nightmare. The role of the co star with the screen name of "THE PI$$ED OFF WIFE!!!, is being filled by my very own "PI$$ED OFF WIFE"!!! Name of the movie "Red Button Reboot". Comming soon to a Hopper/Joey near you.:D

They never play From Russia With Love. That's up there with Octopussy, Dr. No, Moonraker, and Goldfinger. Roger Moore is still the best James Bond in my opinion.

Back on topic, why wasn't Retroplex included?

Octopussy and Moonraker couldn't lick Dr. No, Fromm Russia With Love, and Goldfinger's boots. The only Roger Moore films that compare with the first five of Sean Connery are The Spy Who Loved Me (whose basic plot was taken from You Only Live Twice) and For Your Eyes Only, a vastly under-rated Moore Bond that features some of the best action and stunt work in the series, without resorting to stupid gimmicks. I never seem to see that one listed in one of these constant Bond marathons.

I guess we draw the line here. That's up there with Sports rivalries, politics, religion, and Trekies vs. Star Wars fans. I have to agree the overall Connery films' plot lines were better, but I still believe Moore made a better and more believable Bond.
 
Nice touch for the summer months, even of you don't watch much tv in the summer you can load up the dvr for fall/winter!

Yeah, it is a shame too. I would actually watch them if they were.

Actually neither of those Bonds looks like the actual Bond (as described in the books). Timothy Dalton is the one that looks more like the descriptions in the book, the only thing missing was the scar in the face and he was too thin.

Not to mention he looks a lot closer to Ian Fleming's description of Bond, James Bond, than Sean Connery ever did. ;)

Both are wrong, James Bond is supposed to look like this guy (the one on the left), and he looks more than Dalton. Moore has a "nice guy" looking face, not dark/cruel like Bond has, Dalton and Craig have that face, none of the others do.

BTW, not talking about best movies/best acting Bonds, just looks. Anyway we can all agree that James Bond is the *worst spy in the world*, a spy should be invisible and Bond always brings too much attention to himself... :)

I recorded "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" this morning. Personally, I think it's one of the best, if not THE best Bond movie ever made.
