So who wants to be a superhero 003/365

So at lunch today I was talking with some of the peeps in woek about general pass the day stuff and at some point the conversation turned around to movies. Now I love films, of all genres and origins, whether there big blockbusters or straight to DVD productions with each having it’s own enjoyment factor. Most of all I love hero movies.

Now inevitably the chat came around to which would you want to be. Most of the guys choose to be either Wolverine, Superman or Batman, I on the other hand chose James Bond. this caused more than a few raised eyebrows and the odd look like I had just wafted dog poo under their nose but I stuck to my guns.
I am a huge James Bond fan. I have seen all but one of the released Bond movies ( I just don’t fancy Quantum of Solace at all ) and like most Sean Connery is my Bond – closley followed by Rodger Moore.
I was asked to explain (defend) my choice to the masses so here was what I said

1- Apart from the odd stealth suit or kilt, Bond very rarely wears anything that could be considered a costume to do what he does. No underpants on the outside of tights for this man

2 – He has all the toys – some more mental than others (submarine car) but most are based on real technology rather than radiation poisoning or coming from another world

3 – He always gets a least one girl – no Lois Lane or Mary Jane here, he gets the good girl but not after having the bad girl first

4 – Unless nescersary he is who he is – no sudo names and disguises – when he meets the villan it’s always “Bond, James Bond”

All in all he’s one of the most real heroes out there to me which is why I think he’s been around for so long and will always be around in one way or another
