Yeah, you're right.

I have to say, I don't think Michael Bay is as bad as people think he is... he IS bad when he tries to be serious, maybe one day he'll learn how to actually do a serious flick, but he can't at the moment.

When it comes to big, fun, tongue in cheek action, I have to say... I enjoy his stuff. Transformers? Great flick, really doesn't take itself seriously, and is wonderful fun for it. Bad Boys? Hey, I find it entertaining and funny. The Island... actually started out well and started to demonstrate that with time he may be able to do a serious flick... but dissolved into pointless action. Armageddon shits me because it's terrible, but I remember tearing up at it all the while going 'This is blatent emotional triggering. The Rock, despite some terrible lines that are truly cringe worthy (Sean Connery talking about screwing the prom queen or whatever it was) it too was great fun.

He's good at films that are great fun, great escapism, but not deep in any sense of the word.

Boll on the otherhand creates films that have you being wrenched out of your suspension of disbelief every other minute to say 'Oh my god that was a terrible line', or 'What ham fisted acting', or 'What? Why the hell did that just happen?'

This is the man who made this for god's sake, he WANTS to be Michael Bay, he WANTS to be the other directors... check out the horrendous misuse of 'bullet time' in that clip... not for any betterment of the scene at all, he seems to direct with a checklist:
[ ] 'Hardcore' soundtrack
[ ] The latest fad camera techniques
[ ] Blood
[ ] Swearing
[ ] Nudity if possible

Do these things have to fit into the film, or the scenes? Nope, he just figures that a good movie have those things.

The fact that he took to punching his critics in the ring speaks of his complete inability to take criticism, he is a seriously sad and angry little man.

Of course I am gay for Connery, but I grew up with Moore, so I will always have a soft spot for him. And you seriously can't blame the actors for cheesy crap like this. It is extremely rare for them to have veto power. All they can do is try to pull it off without breaking character.

OK guys, list the Bonds in order from greatest to least. Mine are: Connery, Craig, Dalton, Brosnan, Lazenby, Moore.

Moore came after Lazenby for me because he ruined lots of movies, while Lazenby only messed up one.

Lertad, i think you have been misled. It is the predominately the producer who decides on the James Bond performance, the director is just left to make good with what he/she is given. As for Roger Moore, he is the one who makes the final decision on his representation of a character. He ruined the series for such a long time. Although the writers wrote his dialogue, it is still Mr Moore who reads and performs the scene. Saying otherwise is ridiculous as many of the writers for Roger's films were the same as Connery's.

All of the actors played a different Bond, they all had their strengths, and they were all appropriate to their time. Moore was more of the suave debonair 70's - 80's Bond, as opposed to Connery's 60's overtly masculine image. Even underrated Lazenby was somewhere in the middle. I've loved them all, even Dalton.

And Live and Let Die is still one of my favorites, despite this crazy sequence.

Mmm... Jane Seymour!

Deliciously cheesy line, that's why it's so great.

And IMO, the only Bond that truly deserves mountains of hate piled upon him is George Lazenby. The rest have been of varying quality, but Connery's my favorite. Everybody's gay for him though...

Suck it Trebek! lol @ ^ Indeed Connery is t3h Sexy in Bond. Back to the subject.
Everyone is ruining everything on earth. Tis the fate of intelligence in the universe, something like 90% of all intelligent life destroys itself before it reaches the technology to survive in space or relocate to another planet. Life is too short to hate, should get on with your own lives and dreams and enjoy it. Hate only brings sadness and pain. I'm not gay, nor do I hate gays, look at other species of animals(humans are animals) they play butt tag all the time with same sex's. Stop hating homo's and go get laid, I guarantee you will stop thinking about hating someone when you're having sex.

^ ^For example, we know that EVERYONE is attracted to Sean Connery. Male, female, whatever, you know that you get all hot and bothered when you watch him in Goldfinger and The Hunt for Red October.

Also, since homosexuality has been found in nature, which is supposedly God's grand design, it must be natural for homosexuality to occur. Is it the most common thing? No, but then again, neither are a lot of perfectly "acceptable" traits. People end up gay without being raised by homosexuals, and this has happened all throughout history, so it's just stupid to say that homosexuals would ever cease to exist.

Sean Connery definitely made this movie. I think it's better than Raiders, though not by much... 2 was definite crap though.

Classic scene from the movie.

This scene scared me to death whenever I saw it on USA Network TV... I'm gonna say that this is my favorite, though. Ford and Connery's banter totally wins the trilogy.

never saw this, so I'm gonna have to ask-which season was it?
anyway, it's nice they gave it to Hammond for testing, knowing his affection for bikes. and I must say, I am sooo amazed at how even Clarkson behaved pretty much like a child while talking about it. I'm not quite sure why they think the Dutch have a Sean-Connery accent, though, but nevermind. I did think they borrowed some elements from a gallardo for some of those rear angles, didn't you?

I think the point is the imbalance in the type of role the Muslims stereotype is cast in, as Tom Stall pointed out, they are, more often than most other stereotypes cast as the role of the enemy.

The reason there is not a Jewish version of this video is because Jews in movies can also be sympathetic genocide victims, or intelligent problem solving types, or funny scene-stealers, or that cute guy the cute girls falls for in the latest 3 hankie chick flick sobfest... and yes, Germans in films are for the most part perpetually stuck in 1939-45 invading other countries and shouting 'Mein Furor' but they can also be punk rockers, composers, happy beer-swilling tourists, new wave musicians or esoteric art film directors... its not to say that these groups are not stereotyped in film, but their stereotypes have more variety, and fill many more roles than always being terrorists.

I think Farhad is right in that the Russians are the only group that can begin to compare in the treatment the Arabs have received from Hollywood, they are always baddies perpetually dubbed as 'those sneaky-fucking Russians'. Unless they are played by Sean Connery, then they get to be noble, but they still speak with a Scottish burr.

Musics worth an upvote for making me smile

Airwolf was great in its day, but aged so badly One for the memories, not to be rewatched...

Gyros have been around a fair while. I caught a snapshot of a Bond on a few weeks back, one with Sean Connery in, and he was flying a Gyro in it back then. His had all kinds of gadgets too

yea. and a poorly impersonated sean connery (the dragon).
