The top-secret password has been sent through secure Private Messaging to Col. Falkland and the three Ts (Tater, Turtle, Terry).

turtle took his turn, three (roger) more and we get to find out how well we ranked our players. ranking the bonds, it's connery, maybe this new guy, (haven't seen it yet, but as previously stated, can't see bond with light hair) pierce, then the wooden roger moore, oh, and then that really ugly guy with the huge cleft, and finally the guy who did it once and nobody saw it. all time bond fave...goldfinger...especially the music and the villians.

[MEAT]

okay, ok, all you perfectionists, george lazenby and the forgetable timothy dalton. here's a did you know for ya...the ORIGINAL james bond "movie" was a made for tv drama in the 50's, Casino Royale, with barry nelson :!: :shock: as bond, and peter lorre playing the villian. THAT i'd like to see.

[Terry101]

Two more.

Meat, on a roll w/ the Bond trivia! And in the original TV movie of "Casino Royale," Bond was American and called "Jimmy Bond" !

New movie rocks, Meat. It's even on DVD now for you homebody types. Even better action flick that just came out last year: "District B-13." It's French (uh-oh), but it's 80 minutes of pure adrenaline, with more plot than a 2-1/2 hour Hollywood blockbuster.

I liked the Lazenby movie, actually, although he wasn't so good. Connery is still the gold standard, of course, but give the new guy (Daniel Craig, thanks) a few more flix and we might have a contendah. Roger Moore made a couple good ones (Spy Who Loved Me, For Your Eyes Only) and several bad ones (Moonraker, View to a Kill, and so on). Pierce Brosnan made half a great one (Die Another Day, the first half) a couple decent ones (Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies) and one bomb (The World Is Not Enough). I liked the first Timothy Dalton flick okay (The Living Daylights) but not the second so much (License to Kill).

I far prefer the movies that play it straight, like the new one, to the jokey ones with all the gadgets and double entendres. If you're really a fan of espionage entertainment, nothing tops the three seasons of the British series "The Sandbaggers," (1978-1981) which was actually written by a former British agent, who mysteriously disappeared without a trace during the middle of the third season. No kidding; you could look it up.

Terry, you are up again in the SI Keeper League. SGT D

[MEAT]

sarge, YOU are up in the SIU keeper league. the only thing worse than the mollases pace of that mere 8-round draft, is that I come home to not only see about 8-picks were made there, but also to see I can't see my team here! another 24-hours, that blows! but atleast I had the entertaining read of balmer's bond analysis..blown away. not nearly as up on the espionage flix as tws, but did really like borne supremecy, but didn't see the sequel. trying to see if anyone is still showing breach. heard good shepard is pretty slow and talky.
here's hoping we have some strat stuff to discuss by this time tommorow, including who weasled my autodraft picks. sometimes I think it might be better to draft guys you know someone else will pick, very low, just to improve your waiver position...but I'd always rather have the original player...

Both RickCom and I have posted messages for ColFalkland on another thread where he posted eight times yesterday.

ColFalkland, if you are reading this, is there anything we can do to help you join the league? Did you get the password in your private messages?
