Bond Title Game

[Cooper]

Ok.... this one's a little experimental. It could either be goofy fun or it could crash and burn.

Bond book and movie titles are classics all on their own... "Live and Let Die", "You Only Live Twice", "The Spy Who Loved Me", "The Living Daylights", "Die Another Day", etc.

I used to eagerly await the name of upcoming Bond films to see if they lived up to the Bond legacy.

SO...the point of the game is for one person to come up with the beginning or first half of a "Bond Title" and the next poster to finish it to complete a new Bond Title. Then they keep it going with a new title beginning and so on. Does that make sense?

I'll start:

TO LIVE....

[Daltons Chin Dimple]

Damn, this is harder than I thought.

TO LIVE....

....AND DIE IN LA.

No, hang on, somebody already took that one.

Er..........

[Kara Milovy]

how about

TO LIVE UNDER COVER

Okay, not great.

Here's a classic Fleming:

THE MAN WHO

[conman]

The Man Who Loved Me?

no wait...

The Man Who Owned the World.
-a slight variation on a classic Bowie song.

Next: A DEATH...

[KingVoyeur]

A DEATH IN TIME

next: LIVING FOR

[Kara Milovy]

LIVING FOR YESTERDAY

...better than another Tomorrow anyway. :)

Okay, how about something different:

LONDON IS

[conman]

London is Burning

This game is hard!

How about: THE CALL OF...

[KingVoyeur]

THE CALL OF YESTERDAY'S AGENT

How about.....A THREAT TO (or TOO, whichever you wanna roll with)

[Cooper]

A THREAT TO LIVE FOR

hmmm... The Man Who Owned the World may be my fav so far. Kind of a companion to The World Is Not Enough.

ok...

THE RULE...

[conman]

The Rule of the Kill

Next: A Shattered...

[Kara Milovy]

A SHATTERED HAND (ref. to YOLT)

Okay, now...

ONE NIGHT HERE, ONE DAY GONE


A PRAYER...

It is a play on "A Man For All Seasons," if you didn't notice that.

[Daltons Chin Dimple]

Blimey ! Now maybe we realise how hard it is to come up with a decent Bond title because, not wishing to offend anyone at all (but probably unavoidable so I'll apologise in advance) most of these are fairly terrible.

[Asonokirk V 2.0]

KILLING OF THE WATCHMAN

Next:

STRIKE...

: Strike the Queen's Colors

Next: A Prison . . .

[Kara Milovy]

A PRISON OF ONE


Next


VODKA AND...

[Kara Milovy]

DCD, they mostly are terrible, but some are good. That's what a real brainstorming session would be like.

Also, if you were coming up with a real title, you wouldn't work towards one that could be split apart. :)

[Daltons Chin Dimple]

Point taken, and agreed with ! Like I said, it just shows how darned hard it is to come up with a decent Bond title.

[KingVoyeur]

A PRISON OF ONE
Next
VODKA AND...

VODKA AND VIXENS

next...

THE WOMAN WITH...

[Cooper]

THE WOMAN WITH THE WINNING HAND

also thought of THE WOMAN WITH ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD. Could have been kind of a retro short story about Tracy before she met Bond.

Well, as Kara and DCD said...we have some good ones and some not so good ones. But they're all definitely Bond. It's close but I might have to go with Rogues and Roulette as my fav.

[Kara Milovy]

Gonna start the next one, Coop?

[LeiterCIA]

This game just makes me think how insanely crazy it must be to actually write. I watch the game and I try to think of something, and immediately I'm Billy Crystal... "The night was hot... the night was wet.... wet... the night...the night... that night was wet.. hot and wet... The night was HUMID....."

Ultimately it would end with, "Owen... I'm gonna kill the bitch. ....You want anything?"

"A Chunky?"

[Cooper]

ok, here's a new one...

THE FIRE...

or simply

FIRE...

[Kara Milovy]

FIRE IN LISBON

(Fleming liked that sort of specific title, I think, and it's actually someplace Bond has never been.)

How about...

RUN FOR...

[Asonokirk V 2.0]

RUN FOR THE RISING SUN

Next:

A Night

[KingVoyeur]

A NIGHT UNDER THE GUN

next...

EYE FOR...

[Cooper]

Ok, it's been week since any postings here so I'll declare it officially dead.

The obsessive-compulsive in me can't leave a title left half-done though. Since I started, I'll finish.

EYE FOR A DIE

And with that, I give you the worst Bond title!!

Well, yes. That really sucks. :lol:

[Daltons Chin Dimple]

Expect it to turn up around Bond 23 or 24 then !

[KingVoyeur]

I say we have a vote for the best Bond title posted on this thread...

[Asonokirk V 2.0]

Well, I vote for "Eye For A Die." It really is clever and has meaning on more than one level. It is the best example in here of a Bond title that rings true. Cooper might have been trying to be funny, King, but it really is something that has the aura of "BOND" around it.
