To me that doesn't take it far enough.

Meh. Leave the camp in the 60's and 70's right next to Batman's camp.

Bond really doesn't need more camp, but at the same time, the Craig versions are becoming tired a bit

 

[Aberdeen]

Maybe camp was the wrong word. Craig barely cracks a smile, he's got the charm of brick, just doesn't work for me - or distinguish itself from other action films as uniquely Bond.

There have been a few funny bits. When Bond and M were driving in the DB5 and M was bitching at him and he flips the cap off the stick shift to expose the ejector seat button was pretty great.

I think we've talked about this before on here. But Bond should be, at least a little, camp. The new serious is completely devoid of any humour. It's basically a high class "Taken".

Skyfall had more campiness to it that CR or Quantum. And if people are comparing Spectre to a Roger Moore film then I expect it has a little bit as well.

Shut your whore mouth

This.

Love most Bond films, I do hate when they get into completely unrealistic action nonsense, but Daniel Craig has been a great Bond, and I loved Casino Royale and Skyfall. Quantum not so much. Really like their decision to go with a more "personal" story arc, rather than just mindless action. Hoping that Spectre is at least good.

Bonds are a product of their times. The Craig films reflect the recent demand for realistic, gritty films the same way moore's films were campy and nonsensical

The Roger Moore Bond films are a great example of how pretty much everything about the 70's (except for non-disco music) was the worst.

The only Moore film I had a problem with was View To A Kill but that one was horribly 80s with horrible characters.

For me, thats the golden age of filmmaking.

Godfather I & II, Apocalypse Now, Mean Streets, Clockwork Orange? One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest, The Conversation, Rocky, Alien, Deerhunter, Monty Python, Annie Hall, Dog Day Afternoon, The Sting, Chinatown, Opening Night & Killing of a Chinese Bookie from Cassavetes, Jaws, The French Connection, Star Wars.....the list goes on and on...

Artistically, the 70's f*cking ruled.

It was the 80s that sucked

Ever notice how much that looks like Daniel Craig?

 

[Bleedsblue&white]

Porky's was an important movie; remember, internet porn wasn't even a wet dream yet.

Heh. Saw that post and was going to compile a similar list myself.

Not to mention Columbo.
