re: Just so there's no confusion, Skyfall is by far the best Bond movie

What are you talking about? I've read all of Fleming's Bond books and this is way way off. Unless I missed your sarcasm...

No it's not.

He's a brooding alcoholic.

He is morose and pissed off at the world.

What books did you read?

There are so many passages...

Bond retreats to his room, pours some Vodka, sits in the dark, etc.

He is not Roger Moore and he's maybe Sean Connery.

But Bond in the books isn't any playboy...He has his fun moments...but Fleming makes it clear from day 1 that Bond is damaged goods.

I read all the paperbacks - Bond as a literary character would not survive if he were the movie character.

You must know that. They are not the same. Bond is a top agent and likes the ladies but he's not Hugh Hefner.

He is supposed to be kinda a real guy as Fleming wrote him.

Not some superhero.

Maybe you found a superhero but he's not the books - over-the-top shite is only in the movies. Bond isn't Batman/Hefner with chicks like in the movies.
