By the way - this is the definition of spy.

a person who secretly collects and reports information on the activities, movements, and plans of an enemy or competitor.

So Memento is right about James Bond not meeting the specific definition of a spy

But the synonym of a spy is

Secret Agent.

Although you could say James Bond wasn't quite Secret (how many secret agents of governments are actually secret), he is definitely an Agent of the government. So James Bond is not a spy but a Secret Agent.

Truest depiction of spies in literature:

Bond by Ian Fleming was not the misogynistic mess that Sean Connery's Bond was. Fleming's Bond was also a hitman at heart, sanctioned by M16 to kill or otherwise neutralize whatever threats Britain was facing. The fact that some idiot movie directors portrayed him as a spy (like I said, he's a shit spy because spies aren't supposed to be famous) was annoying as shit because that wasn't Fleming's Bond. Fleming based Bond off of spies, sure, but he wrote Bond as if he were a sanctioned hitman, albeit with interesting tools of his trade.

"Licensed to Kill," and all that...

Hanging in @Memento Brick House.

I mean really, who doesn't love Lazenby's Bond!?

 

[Tano]

Wow.

Nice thoughts @Memento - you are very angry my young friend.
Here’s the thing…for you and all the other SJWs of the world.

THAT
IS
HOW
THINGS
WERE.

You can hate it, and rant about it all you want, and write all the revisionist crap you want to, but it changes nothing.

Society evolves, and by the way, the twenty and thirty something’s 50 years from now are going to be screaming about the world you grew up in.

So give it a fucking rest.

A little hard core there but I will add

You could look at older history and see all these people (serbs) who were basically subservient to the noble landowners (not just women but men too).

As you say - society evolves and hopefully we are getting better

but blaming 'Hollywood' for feeding into yesteryears misogynistic fantasies

So does this mean Bond got a lot of puss?

And ice cream has beneficial calcium for strong teeth and bones! Ice cream is a health food! Suck it nutritionists!

GD right it does!!

That movie was terribly boring just like Quantum of Solace

I put those two as the worst James Bond movies

And I was not a big fan of Timothy Dalton's Bond movies

My apologies. I'll give it a rest; I just wanted to get my own rant in. It's my personal opinion, and I respect that you disagree. Henceforth, I'll be nicer and less angry.

i just watched a short documentary about the deaths that occurred on the twilight zone shoot for the movie.

john landis did everything totally opposite to the rules of child labour. he hired children off the books for cash so he could do his shoots without the need to follow any safety rules pertaining to child actors. rules put in place to protect the children. the main one being children are not allowed to be involved in any scenes where pyrotechnics are involved. he had them in the middle of real explosions with a helicopter overhead. he kept telling the helicopter to come lower, after the pilot told a producer that the explosions were splashing water into the rotor blades and making it difficult to control the helicopter.

ultimately two children and vic morrow were killed after the helicopter lost control and fell on top of them. and by that i mean the rotor blades tore them apart.

and then somehow landis didn't end up being thrown in jail for killing three people by gross negligence.

hollywood is like the twilight zone.

.

I remember that well.

It's an absolutely terrible, true story.

All 3 were killed by the helicopter blades

I understand eras we live in and when they live in. That's not the only reason why I hate movie-007s. They are not fucking spies. Might as well say that Austin Powers is a spy - and Austin Powers isn't a spy either (and honestly, he's portrayed much better than Bond is, despite being a serial womanizer.) The movies are unrealistic as well; if you think he's a spy, why not just fucking shoot him in the head, like, three times to make sure he's dead instead of all of the death trap gimmicks that are undone by James Bond gadget gimmicks?

If you want a great spy show - watch Slow Horses. It’s incredible

No problem - I could be nicer too, but at 75, I get a pass.
(Or at least I think i do).

Connery and Moore were my favorite Bonds.

Can't watch the others at all.

2 favorite Bond guilty pleasures are Moonraker and Spy Who Loved Me. Mainly because those were the first 2 Bonds I saw at the Drive in & Theater. Jaws rulez.
