The Different Types Of Bond Fan: A Thread
1. CONNERY PURISTS
According to these fans, Connery is The One True Bond. They believe that the series peaked in the ‘60s (“It was like Beatlemania!”), and they probably own a white tuxedo. They think they can do the accent. They can’t.

2. ROGER MOORISTS
These fans think that Bond films should be FUN. They like one-liners & double entendres. They miss the days of crocodile submarines & inflatable gondolas. They don’t want gritty realism — they want eyebrow gymnastics & enormous bell-bottom trousers. #Information

3. DALTON CONNOISSEURS
These fans like to mention Tim’s acting ability. They love his version of Bond (“He’s the closest to Fleming!”) and they say things like “He was ahead of his time”. They also love Saunders, a character who got less screen time than Melina Havelock’s parrot.

4. BROSNAN DEFENDERS
For these fans, Brosnan can do no wrong. He was the first Bond they saw in the cinema, and their Top 10 includes three Brosnan films. They probably own a poster of GoldenEye, and they secretly believe that Die Another Day is better than some of the classics.

5. FORMULA ADVOCATES
These fans think Bond films should stick to the formula. For them, TSWLM & YOLT are examples of what a Bond film “should” be. They want big sets & shootouts with men in colour-coded boiler suits. If NTTD doesn’t start with a gunbarrel, they’ll be furious.

6. NEW-BOND ENTHUSIASTS
For these fans, Bond began in 1995. Their Top 10 is a mix of Craig & Brosnan, with a couple of “old” films to make up the numbers. They’ve seen GoldenEye 173 times, but their Connery DVDs are caked in dust. They think John Glen is a brand of Spring Water.
