007 - past, present and future

Over the years, more than half a dozen acclaimed actors have been introducing themselves as "Bond - James Bond".
You will notice that I don't really care if the appeareances were part of the "official " franchise or not.

The Genesis of Bond, James Bond

After WW2 Ian Fleming, agent of the British Naval Intelligence, retired to Jamaica. Living in a house called "Goldeneye", he startet writing a novel called "Casino Royale". In the process, he created a character whom we all know today as British Secret Service agent James Bond.

WOW! I was devastated to rent Casino Royal and not catch it in the movies bceause I was hooked from the first moment - when I couldnt breath watching the chase scene with the free-runner. OMG. I hae always loved Bond - but Craig creates a 3-D character of cruelty, humanity, anguish and love. This is the most in-depth Bond character ever - and I must say I am addicted to his looks, voice and action... » Continue

I only want to excuse me for a comment that i have written (in that forum i think) about one year ago. I said Madonna has been in the Bond movie "Die another day" only because of PR. That was wrong from me and nonsense from me. Sorry to Madonna. And to Daniel: Good Bond. It could be that i wrote more nonsense that i remember no more exactly. Sorry also for that.
