Yes, belive it or not, I have another great passion if my life other then tiki. James Bond. I have a very large collection of everything Bond including movies, books, toys, pictures, signed movie memorbilia and anything else Bond within financial reach.
Guess where I was last night!
Opening night of the new and 20th Bond film, Die Another Day. It was great, really great.
One of the things that stood out that I had to share with mi tiki familia was the temporary change Bond made from his signature drink (vodka martini, shaken not stirred) to a very large, sweaty Mojito. It looked really good with Hally Berry and the Cuban coastline. I'm not to big on alot of mint but it sure tasty. I know Big Al would appreciate it.
Any other Bond nuts out there?
James Bond, my hero

Oh yeah! But I think Sean C. was the best. I got all of his 007 movies. The cuban coast, with a mojito, that's been checked off my list, now I got to get a car like his with a license to kill.Well maybe just the car and some gizmos.

Big Sean is the only true James Bond, but I'm biased coz I live in Edinburgh and Big Sean is a folk god round here. He used to have a job as a milkman in edinburgh and if everybody who claims to have had there milk delivered by Sean really had there milk delivered by him, then he had the biggest milk round in history, no wonder he gave it up and became an actor.
But my flat mates mum used to say hello to sean connerys milk horse every morning because it lived in a field oppisite to her house.

You know Paul,
I was trying to remember what Tiki related thing I saw in "DAD", now I remember. When Bond Had it out with Mr.Kill (big, tough, Fijian Islander) Did mr Kill Pull a cannibal fork out of his ponytail?. Did anyone see this?. I think it was a cannibal fork.
Mahalo,
Al

Actually, we were a bit disappointed in the latest Bond flick. We went on a Bond rampage and watched about 10 of the films before seeing the new one over Thanksgiving weekend.
Sean was the best Bond, but Pierce is #2 in line as a believable double OO.
But the new film was way too mannered - the Mission Impossible fast video techniques were distracting and the surf sequence in the artic was just plain bad C.G. The thing that makes Bond films distinctive from other action thrillers is that so many of the stunts are genuine. And I felt like I was watching video game graphics when the iceberg broke - did anyone else notice this?
Madonna as a lesbian fencing instructor - now that's another discussion 
I think "The World is Not Enough" has been Pierce's best film to date and the theme song by Garbage reminded me of the earlier catchy main title songs with Shirley Bassey crooning.
Just my 2 cents in exchange for the $18 tickets.

Your ALL wrong. George Lazenby was the best Bond!
Yes, an Australian model with zero acting ability was the perfect choice to follow Sean Connery. What the hell were they thinking?
See 1969's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" to know who I'm talking about. This guy sucks. And he wear's a ruffled shirt,too, and I think that's where Austin Powers got the idea. I guess he gets some coolness points for being more pirate-like, though.
No one could top Sean Connery!

You guys left out Casino Royale, which was kind of like James Bond meets Barbarella on acid after a Hard Day's Night.

I never saw Casino Royale but I think David Niven was Bond in that movie.

Bongster
It's been a very un-tiki last couple of months in the land of Trustar. Since we did our last Bash-type of event we have done nothing except going to the local witch doctors and work. I missed Baxdog's shindig at the last minute after being sticken with an ancient curse. What a wienie! We were ready to go with the grand kids and RV when disaster struck. Mo better now. About the only tiki that I have been able to partake in is buying and setting up Gage's own Tiki Bar for Christmas. We hit up Ben's shop and bought him one of the smaller surfboard type bars with thatched hut tops. With a couple of tikis on the front and the mugs Gage has already collected, he already has a cool setup. I'm goint to try the famous "Big Al" method to post some pictures. This cool six year old has a tiki bar that many TC'rs would die for.
Hopefully the horizons of 2003 look better for fun. Hope we can hook up soon.

Hey you cats,
A Tikitastic bonjourno from Snowy Haggisland.
The word from Connery HQ is that Die another Day is the worst Jimmy Bond outing since View to a Kill !
An invisible car, feasible yes, but used briefly to hide in ? Poor. Hardly any classic lines, no suave cunning, general slapstick antics, baaaaad effects and as for the shameless phillishave, mobile phone and rum adverts - sloppy.
Fully agree with Futura girl, The world is not enough was superior and the best for yonks !
Best ever ? From Russia wih love ...
Happy new year from across the pond !

Bond, bossa nova, Tiki...ah, the joy of growing up in the 60s! These are the things that have made me the man I am today. And on the subject of Casino Royale, that's where Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66 debuted their version of Bacharach's "The Look Of Love".
I didn't mind "Die...". Brosnan is my 2nd-favorite Bond (though as a kid I detested him because he's so damn good-looking), and even got a bit choked up when Moneypenny's fantasy sequence came on, but it's a fact: 9 out of 10 Bondophiles know there is and always will be only one TRUE Bond: the man from Haggisland himself.

Has anyone seen Casino Royale?
Is it a travesty, or is it OK. I'm not sure I can handle Bond drinking Smirnoff without gagging.
I know I can't handle his line regarding his martini.
