I’ve had a couple of people contact me saying the link doesn’t work. I tested it and it was ok. Possibly a browser issue?
Todays link worked fine for me from my proton mail account. Completely agree on the Connery/Craig best Bond vote, but Pierce Brosnan is one of the classiest guys in the universe.
I thought he’d done the best job since Connery and at the time thought he got screwed over when they announced they were bringing Craig in. I mean c’mon man - a BLOND bond?
5 minutes into Casino Royals and I was going “holy shlitt, it’s James Bond!” To be fair to Brosnan, I think Craig benefitted from the new era’s grittier approach that returned Bond to Ian Fleming’s original version.
In the same sense, Roger Moore, another very classy guy, was saddled with that period’s revolting suits, wide lapels, tie knots that could choke a horse, and obsession with over the top gimmicky mega-stunts.
I also could never shake the feeling that I was watching The Saint just playing James Bond, but that’s because I’m of a certain age. Cheers
