Come, come, Mr. Risu. Young minds, fresh ideas. Be tolerant.
Oh, yes. Trek really shares the blessing and the curse of the Bonds. Either they crackle with wit and inspiration (Casino Royale ST II TWOK) or deflate like a used condom (Moonraker, ST V TFF).
Odd that Moore is older than Connery, but replaced him as the "younger, hipper" Bond.
The Moore era was when I saw my first James Bond movie, The Man With the Golden Gun. I was 13 years old and, having only a vague awareness at the time that there had been previous Bond movies, I couldn't understand why Bond was so popular. I subsequently saw The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker because a friend wanted to see them, but I barely made it through the first half hour of Moonraker before I decided I'd never watch another Bond movie. Not long after that I saw Thunderball on tv, and I finally understood what all the fuss was about. I still think Live and Let Die was a good first outing for Moore as Bond, but everything that came after was rubbish.
