They're great novels, I'd really like to see them put on screen as period pieces.

I would LOVE to see a version of Moonraker that was true to the book. The movie was so far from it that only the character names matched up in my eyes.
Though, 007 Legends envisioned it in an interesting way... still not true to the book
Right, but it'd make sense that he'd be familiar with something like that, since it's directly related to his line of work. Moore's Bond is a total know-it-all about EVERYTHING. To the point where it gets both annoying and unbelievable, in my opinion.

I know exactly what you mean-- the worst offence was in TMWTGG in the very beginning when M asks if Bond knows who Scaramanga is-- Moore spouts off this huge biography off the top of his head and then ends with '......why, sir?'
M should have clocked him one, lol
Connery had only one annoying moment like that from what I can remember- from Diamonds are Forever.
Bond: (Takes sip) 'Mmm, '51 I believe.'
M: 'There is no year for Sherry OO7.'
Bond: (initiate smartass mode)"I was referring to the original vintage on which the sherry is based. 1851"
M: 'OO7 we're going to have a quick private meeting to discuss your forced retirement.'
ok so I made that last line up, lol. But I mean come on Bond.....
Actually come to think of it, DAF was the last one before Moore started. I wonder if the early 70's was just the era for know-it-alls?
