"I think as one grows older, he finds that he no longer plays video games for the sake of entertainment, but rather for the stories they tell and the universes they drag the player into. At least that's the primary reason why I still pick up a…"

"I liked Connery's Bond as a kid and thought that Dalton was the worst (I don't count Lazerby, he's not worth mentioning). Then I read the books. I think Dalton was the closest to Flemming's original character (or as close as…"

"I see, that does make perfect sense. A new era of entertainment calls for a change, even in well-established franchises'like James Bond. I look forward to hear your thoughts about Skyfall. "

"Craig's Bond was a bit more like Fleming's -- but was more a response to Jason Bourne and Jack Bauer than anything else.   Bond was the cutting edge for a long time -- the ultimate tough guy spy.  Bourne and Bauer came…"

Skyfall: Let's hear your thoughts!

So the new James Bond movie, Skyfall has been available for screening in most cinemas for a couple of days now. I figure, this being a forum called the art of manliness, there'd be some Bond fans who would like to share their opinions on the latest installment.Personally I have low thoughts of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. The movies got an exceptional amount of hype here in Denmark, due to the fact that Mads Mikkelsen (Le Chiffre) and Jesper Kristensen (mr. White) had prominent roles in…See More

Magnus replied to Zach Welch's discussion Not interested in making male friends
