The Hardy Boys, dude! Grew up on' em! :^)
There is only one James Bond: Sean Conneery.
of course. I'm not senile, just forgetful.
Talking about P2 inspired me to check the Internet again re: P2, while looking, I did find the P1 remake. Have you installed this?
It's 180MB, I got about 20% downloaded and it locked up all my Internet communications. I had to reboot my computer, cable modem and router/firewall to get back online. I was thinking it might not be a good idea to go back there again.
I also found this site which looks promising for P2. It tells how to copy, patch and burn a new P2 disc 1 for use on Windows systems. I think I'll give it a try.

When I was in 4th-7th grade, I read them all the time (and I still do). There aren't many better books for younger boys to read.
If I'm thinking of the right scene, I believe it was Goldfinger:
"During the dinner with M and Colonel Smithers, we see that the three men have each had at least one glass of what appears to be port wine (it’s not uncommon to have port after dinner with dessert or cheese). Smithers asks Bond to “Have a little more of this disappointing brandy.” M asks what’s the matter with the brandy, to which Bond replies “I’d say it was a 30-year-old Fine indifferently blended, sir.” He sniffs the decanter, and then adds, “With an overdose of Bon Bois.” M snips, “Colonel Smithers is giving the lecture, 007.” (Later, M sniffs the brandy to see what the fuss is about.) During the exchange, Bond refills his snifter from the decanter."

CROCKAAAAAAAAHHH!
Agreed. And just reading had a great impact. One thing I learned at home and it was followed up on in catholic school. Read, read, read.
I would have to agree with you there.
He doesn't look like a bad choice. It all went down hill for me after Connery. I grew up with him.
Was just getting used to Brosnan and now he is gone.
I was reading the Flemming books through the 60's. I didn't get into Nancy Drew too much, I was a girl/woman from stuff going on at home. I wanted the racier stuff. I read some of the Hardy Boys though. I read all of the horse stories then started in on Hobbit and Sci-Fi.
I started reading at 5. Some one gave us the Oz series and some of the drawings freaked me out so much I tore the pages out. That didn't go well with my mom. :(
I didn't know any of the girls in out clique who read them.
My wife loved the flicks, mostly because of Sean, but wouldn't pick up the book.
I gotta say I really liked that movie. He definitely outclassed wooden Roger Moore and frickin Timothy Dalton!
There is no normal life...
..there's just ....life
Incidentally, my favorite Bond was George Lazenby. He was the most physical Bond; when he threw a punch, it looked real
Can't wait to see Sin City!
Sam Neill has been one of our favorites since he was "Reilly, Ace of Spies" on PBS back in the early 80's. What is this JP series?
yepper Clive is one of the few interesting new actors out there,
I saw "Croupier" and the BMW films too, you are right about Croupier....
