Guess that the first Bond we meet leaves a deep impression on us. We tend to compare all other Bonds with our first one I feel. Probably by this reason Connery is The Bond for old timers. Just my feeling.
My pleasure to remember our favorite agent here! Best, Abel

A toast!

I will toast the Bond Franchise the next time I have a Martini. Probably a Vesper Martini. I remember watching most of these films as a child and being so impressed. As a child I immediately saw the DNA of a Bond film; the titular character, the Bond Girl...
Ahh! Finally a reader of the novels!

Yes! I was actually introduced as a child to brands from reading novels and short stories from Ian Fleming and Roald Dahl. Dahl's short stories about expensive wines introduced me to all the famous first growth vineyards. If I ever become a parent, I'll p...

Dahl is an amazing author. But oddly, he's on two extremes, one side of the spectrum he's writing children's stories about Giant Peaches and Chocolate Factories. On the other side, his short stories are filled with innuendo and some x-rated pieces that we...
Will be watching Thunderball in your honor later this weekend!

Yes, of course: Bad guy Largo had a a very special boat the Disco Volante. And yes Mr Largo had a large swimming pool full of sharks to get rid of his enemies. Bond has a close encounter and scapes thanks to the mini scuba supplied by the Q department. En...
Saw it and enjoyed it very much!

Since we both have diving experience, there's definitely a special appreciation we'd have for this film.
You forgot Dalton, Moore, and Lazenby! ;))

But seriously, 007 had also made an impact on me during childhood. The earliest one I watched in the cinema was Roger's take on the franchise.
