it's tragic that we didn't get a few more outings with him as 007. imho he feels like the Bond who most matches the character's energy in the books.

at least we can see him going absolutely wild as Rhett Butler in the made for TV Scarlett (he's genuinely so good in it)

Hell yeah! That alternate timeline where Goldeneye came out in like 1992 with Dalton lives in my head rent-free.

I really go to bat for The Living Daylights at any opportunity though.

it's weird because I like Goldeneye, but don't really care for any of the other Brosnan movies (I'm 50/50 on Die Another Day) whereas both of Timothy Dalton's movies rock, I am always there for either of them, so a Dalton Goldeneye would be super cool

I love GoldenEye and I like Tomorrow Never Dies, but I feel like maybe growing up with Remington Steele reruns made it hard for me to take Brosnan seriously as Bond (I love Brosnan in general). but yeah, I love both of Dalton's movies

Dalton in GoldenEye could have been great, though we'd likely lose Joe Don Baker unless they heavily lampshaded the repeat casting. I feel like Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is Not Enough both also improve with Dalton, even though I do like Brosnan generally. Die Another Day is unsalvageable tho

Haha good point about Joe Don Baker! Loved seeing him reappear as a totally different guy 🫡

The more Joe Don Baker the better, I always say

Die Another Day is *hilariously* unsalvageable, and I wouldn't have it any other way

I have grown to appreciate it more, similar to Batman and Robin (which I now realize both are heavily ice themed), but it is still the Bond movie I find the hardest to like. Honestly, Rosamund Pike might be the only part of the movie I enjoy, and she *may* just be enough to put it over Thunderball

That part in the 007 documentary where Brosnan says he remembers Goldeneye and the rest was a blur, that’s me as the audience too (I do remember several things about tomorrow never dies though!).

TND and TWiNE both have their qualities, but I do get a lot of their constituent parts confused from time to time

Man, just picturing how he'd deliver the "no...for me" line.
