Unless something drastically changes with our latest poll, it looks like I'll be starting Game of Thrones soon! There's obviously a lot of interest in the James Bond movies as well. I'll dive into some of the Bond movies soon (I'm not planning on watching Bond every week, and I'll work my way through those movies slowly). I need your input for how to watch the Bond movies! As a reminder, I've already watched the Daniel Craig Bond movies on the channel.

Happy Thursday, Addie. You should DEFINITELY make a poll for each actor, based on the outcome of watching Game of Thrones.

Doug

I’m down with the idea of a poll for the different Bond actors. You can definitely get away with just watching the better Bond films by actor instead of all of them. 👍

Randee Carreno

Happy Thursday, Addie! 😊 I would make a poll for each of the Bond actors. Looking forward to you most likely getting started on a "Game of Thrones" journey. Have a great day today! 😊

Karl Ries

It may be worth watching most of the Connery Bonds(all but Diamonds . . . and Never . . .), but a select few of the others would be more than sufficient IMO.

Doug

(On a total tangent, I watched Season 2 of Sandman this week and I forgot how many Games of Thrones actors are on that show. 😄)

The Dude Abides

The Bond movies are a lot of hit and miss. Some are fantastic while others are, well, not so great, so doing the best ones of each actor is your best bet

Luis Fernandez

Thanks for the reminder that Sandman S2 is out! Totally forgot about that show.

Luis Fernandez

I think a poll would work. You could do a multi-select poll by actor, then watch the ones that get "reasonable" support (setting the bar lower than just the top selections)

Gary Brown

Addie, im glad u will be doing these slowly. Ashleigh was watching these as recently as this month and can't watch the full length because I can't stream them. And I have 6 or 7 services. I'll catch ur YouTube cuts though

Doug

And the second half of season 2 literally just posted today. 🙂

Randolph Tirazona

I'm of the mind of watching them all in release order.

Chris

(cries in Breaking Bad)

How do you plan on watching game of thrones? doing one season then see how you like it to continue? Its definitely a very Rated R TV show, think of it like Lord of The rings but bloody as shit, and very morally Grey characters.

Kawaii Leonard

Joffrey's actor comes out of retirement to be in Sandman.

Philip Davetas

Not into Bond in general. Think he's kind of a dick. But Craig seems to be the best one.

Doug

Yep, he killed it too!

Jon Anderson

There isn't much of a continuity, and the quality can vary, so you don't HAVE to watch them all, but if you get really into Bond, and you're happy to spread it out over time, then I think you might want to. Fair warning, the old ones are VERY different from Craig.

JAKH

There is significant continuity for the time that the movies were made, just not compared to a serialized show from the 2020's. Other reactors have tried just watching a couple from each actor (PopcornInBed) and the reactions were terrible. She spent a lot of time confused and asking questions about things from the movies that she skipped that were referred to in the movies that she watched. In addition, the Daniel Craig movies retell a lot of the early stories, not just making references or easter-eggs, but copying whole scenes and plots. So if you skip those early movies, then you miss seeing where the Daniel Craig movies came from. If you are going to have a poll to skip JB movies, then you might as well do the same for GoT: say that you will watch 2 or 3 eps from each season and have a poll to ask which eps to watch.

The problem with doing all the sequels is that most of the time sequels suck. That’s why I like the poll idea. That would free up time to do more reactions to quality movies like “Being There” or “Living in Oblivion”

Doug

Sort of? 🤷‍♂️ Personally I don’t think anybody needs to watch the original Casino Royale with David Niven, for example, to understand what’s going on in the Daniel Craig version. (That original is pretty awful!) And I doubt there’s much gained continuity wise from watching, say, Octopussy. There’s obviously no real comparison though in terms of continuity of a TV series like Game of Thrones with the Bond movies. The Bond films are, mostly, an anthology of stories with related characters, skipping some Bond films is not comparable to skipping episodes in a serial show like GOT. If you want to compare it to a TV show it’s more like skipping episodes of Law and Order. Sure, there’s some continuity on that show, but mostly the episodes are stand alone with recurring characters. Just like I don’t think anybody needs to literally watch all of Law and Order in release order to enjoy the show I also don’t think you really need to watch all of Bond in release order to appreciate those.

JAKH

With all due respect to Addie about language, I call BS on this spurious, straw man argument. The original "Casino Royale" is a stand-alone spoof and _NOT_ part of the "Classic James Bond". Anyone bringing it up either doesn't know the original James Bond or is being deliberately disingenuous and deceptive. The original James Bond series are the ones produced by Albert Broccoli starting with D. No.: the ones starring Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and lastly Daniel Craig. The independent "Never Say Sever Again" with Connery is included, and some people add "The Rock" (1995) and "The November Man" (2014) as low key epilogues for Connery and Brosnan respectively.

Rey

Honestly i kinda wish the next james bond movie they make takes everythint back to the 60s

Joe Blankenship

For me, personally, I don't want to sit through a lot of the old Bond movies. I don't have the nostalgia for it like some people do. I wanted to be Inspector Gadget, not James Bond.

Sean

Id recommend just the Daniel Craig Bond films as they are a complete arc and you dont need the older films.

Doug

FYI She's already watched most or all of the Daniel Craig ones on the channel. So the Bond poll is just about the older movies, I think.

Doug

Craig is a very good Bond. Just FYI though Addie's already watched most or all of the Daniel Craig Bond films on the channel. The poll is just about the older Bond films.

BJ Stephens

I couldn't disagree more. The Craig movies of some of the least "Bond" movies in the catalogue. They're lacking so many of the things that make Bond both exciting and mostly FUN. They're closer to generic action/spy flicks with the Bond name just slapped on them. Just mho.

BJ Stephens

Sorry while Craig is a cool protagonist in his films, he is bottom rung as a Bond.

justin swan

I honestly only care for Goldeneye tbh :)

JAKH

No continuity? In order to say that, one must never have actually watched the movies. One word: S.P.E.C.T.R.E.

JAKH

If you watch GoT, I would recommend also watching the historical movie "The Lion In Winter" (1968) since author George R. R. Martin has publicly stated that this was his inspiration.

LaserLamb

GoT AND the Bond franchise?? By the time Addie gets to Breaking Bad it'll be during the 2nd season of 'Better Let Hule Use the Bathroom'! 🤣

LaserLamb

'Diamonds....' is kind of a fun movie, but I may just feel that way because I saw it when I was 11 about 10 times while on board a cruise ship! 🚢

Karl Ries

I agree, but if I were to cut back on a Connery Bond film, it'd be that one.

Philip Davetas

I understand. Everyone has their favorites. I guess to me Bond is just too sleazy, I guess. But ya know, to each their own. It's not for me to judge. Everyone has their thresholds.
