    Ha got me! :D

    I am shaken Not sturred :1eye:

    OF course Connery is the real James Bond. He started the whole thing-

    But I´like the British approach to the role with Moore, more than the Connerish approach to the role with Connery... Did that make sense?
    I prefer to see Bond as a stereotypic Brittain rather than an individualist. Connery is the best actor though. No doubt. :thumb:

    Anyway Cheers mate, enjoy your fine brew :)

    I grew up with Roger Moore.

    And I watched part of a Sean Connery one (I think it was Thunderball or something) and thought he was a loser.

    But then, later, I watched the Sean Connery ones. And I'd learned enough by then to realize my mistake.

    Connery and Pierce are natural athletes. And it shows in their movements, just like a ballerina. They make better Bonds.

    If you asked me who was the better Bond between the two, I don't know. 1962 vs. 1999. That's over 30 years difference in the filmage. Let alone the actors. Special effects are neat, but they are both outstanding actors. I might go so far as to say Connery is a better dynamic actor (one that can do drama, horror, action, suspense, passion, military), but Pierce hasn't done nearly as many movies, so that one is still up for a rather large debate.

    Roger Moore isn't bad. And, in all actuality, neither is Lazenby.

    Dalton, on the other hand, was FAR superior in The Rocketeer than he was as 007.

    Bondage != Dalton

    Thank God.

    i think the best bond is the bonds in H2O. Everyone knows how H2O is so important to living creatures. And on top of that, H2O bonds are relatively easy to analysis. As you can see, the two bonds form a 120 degree angle which could...
    ohh, forgive me, wrong reply. (Lame isn't it?)

    i would go for Sean and Pierce. i really cannot choose between the two because their acting in Bond movie are equally good. Meaning that they both showed their unique versions of Bond which are equally impressing. If i have to choose, i will choose Pierce because the Chinese actress (Michelle Yeoh) in Tomorrow Never Dies is Malaysian and i am Malaysian too (Irrelevant isn't it?).

    I'd have to say Pierce, but Connery is good too.

    Hydrogen Bonds. hehe
    Its the Bonds between the different water molecules that are interesting. They are shorter than the assumed Van der Waals distance.

    Anyway the angle between the two Hydrogens is 104,5 degrees. I don't know where you got the 120.

    *can't stop smiling at Teekc comment for the rest of the day* :1eye:

    Ah, the neverending debate of "Which Bond is really Bond?" Come on, people, it's not that hard. We all know that Sean Connery r0ckerz! I mean, he's the quintessential Bond. All other Bonds were created in his image and all of them come up lacking. I mean, Pierce is the closest to him. I tell ya, he was handsome back then, and even now in his golden years, he's still handsome! That's Bondness right there! Heh, so 'tis Sean and that wonderful Scottish accent.

    I'll have to go with Connery, then Moore. Sean is definitly the best of the bunch, but Roger Moore was also very good. At times, almost slapstick in his comedy. Almost.

    Roger Moore. The Moore,the better.
    Just something one of my local Television stations used to call the Bond marathons. :)
