Poll Suggestion: James Bond Words

dgranger, this reply triggered spam filter here at GetSatisfaction, not sure why. Fished it out. 

Thank you.

I got an idea why. One of the names of a bond film has an obscene word in hidden in the English version on it’s one word title: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0086034/?r...

1)  I can't include "Never" because  Never Say Never Again is not an official James         Bond movie.

2) I won't include "Name of body parts" and "Name of a place", for two reasons:

     1. I wouldn't feel comfortable to include "Octopussy" in a "Name of Body Parts"               section since I'm pretty sure that if I do, this poll will never go live.

      2. This poll was really about single words and not themes or groups of words, but             maybe this could be an idea for another poll.             

3) I included "Love" and "Day"

I can argue you about “Never Say Never Again” since 1) After a law suit, Ian Fleming did give his blessing to the project as long as it stayed as a remake of “Thunderball” to which it was and was closer to Fleming’s story than “Thunderball” was, 2) the producer and screenwriter on NSNA also worked on Tb with Fleming, 3) in the 90s, MGM, did buy the rights to it and included it in the Bond collection when they got the Bond films back with Eon productions. But, with a ton of respect, this poll is your property. You are the final authority, master Yoda (I’m bowing down to you right now.)

Understand that I’m trying to find ways to include more Bond films on your list:

No:
Dr. No
No Time to Die

References to people or names:
Dr. No
Goldfinger
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
The Man With The Golden Gun
The Spy Who Loved Me
Octopus (the controversial one that triggered the spam filter)

Maybe you can say “The film based on Octopus” by Ian Fleming” and then use the movie poster for that title.

The delayed date is understandable in terms of marketing, but it is a bit annoying in terms of pollmaking.

Agree, I also had a Bond poll suggestion, and another to bump closer to the film, now they'll have to wait till November.

cinephile,

I updated your first post to match your update to your list.

I agree that distributors and production companies changing release dates can be rather disruptive to polls, especially "most anticipated" polls. When release dates for films are more than a month away they can be volatile.

Good! For two reasons why: 1) then I can proceed with an idea I had about the best boat chases. The Bond films have at least five or six of them of which two, from the two short lists from special interest groups that I had checked, are among the best ever put on film: “From Russia, With Love”, “Live and Let Die”, “Moonraker”, “The World is Not Enough”, “Quantum of Solice”* (and another that I can’t remember the name of that involve Venetian gondolas -- it was rather silly). I had other non Bond films too to put on the list too. But seeing that Cinephile had started a Bond film list on the same day, I had thought it would be rather bad taste to start mine that had the majority of it being Bond films.

2) isn’t February, and March the time Hollywood releases projects that might be profitable but not be remembered at Oscar time or not be able to compete with the summer blockbusters? “No Time To Die” must have tested better than what they thought. Or maybe they want more time to find tune it.

* that was number one on all lists. along with “Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade”, and “Puppet on a Chain” that also appeared on a few list too. Did you know that know the boat chase in “PoaC” inspired the boat chase in “LaLD”?

My boat chase poll list page is at https://www.imdb.com/list/ls092103546/
As you can see, from boat chases from other films, the poll also includes six boat chases from five Bond films.

Cool, i expected this poll to go live very late due to the postpone.

In dire times, we really need Bond, James Bond.
