    In live and let die, Felix Leiter goes up and asks the barkeep for "2 sazeracs...come on James, live a little".

    I want to do that in NOLA. Double fist sazeracs

    Cary Grant drank this in his role in the Alfred Hitchcock movie North by North West.
    I prefer mine just a little dirty with two onions. I once had one in a bar that was way too dirty.

    I love getting hammered on martinis. I've done a 2 martini lunch but never the elusive 3.

    I thought Brosnan was terrific as Remington Steele. As Bond? Painfully awful.

    Haven't seen Craig as Bond, but I'm skeptical he could approach Connery's level.

    No, Craig is not as good as Bond, no one has or will be as good as Connery. However, I do find Craig to be second best and pretty far ahead of no. 3. Craig is not a pretty boy and seems tougher than the rest of the pack. The only thing Craig does not do that Bond loved to do was smoke Dunhill cigarettes.

    The advanced special effects available nowadays in the Craig/Bond films as opposed years ago with the Connery/Bond also makes for a more exciting and action packed episodes and gives the nod to Craig for me.

    No one can match Connery's Bond. Nobody can attain that level, but Craig indeed approaches it, and is the next best Bond by a good shot.

    When I smoked, I preferred Dunhill Reds.

    Oh yeah, the fight scenes are now more real than before. But the character of Connery's Bond, including his demeanor and the results that he got just overwhelm Craig, an otherwise terrific Bond. I like Craig. He's probably the best on out there but Connery is the supreme example.

    Funny thing is that Ian Fleming didn't want Connery to play the part. Why, I'll never know.

    Yeah, to be fair, even if you ask a younger person (younger than us) which actor comes to mind when someones says "Bond, James Bond", the answer is usually Sean Connery.

    James Bond, as a whole, is overrated. None of the old movies are actually good. Casino Royale was decent but I could have done without the other recent movies. I really think this franchise is going to die out soon.

    You might like Get Smart. It is a tv series comedy version of spies made in the late 60s.

    Release of new James Bond film No Time To Die is pushed back from April to November because of coronavirus outbreak
    • The 25th Bond adventure was originally scheduled to be released on March 31
    • But now it will not be released until November following 'careful consideration'
    • Earlier this week, die-hard 007 fans had begged MGM and Universal to delay it
    • A fan website suggested the delay amid fears coronavirus might close cinemas
    • The deadly virus has infected more than 92,000 worldwide and now killed 3,110
