[edit] Knighthood
I thought I knew the Bond novels pretty well (at least, those written by Fleming). When was he knighted? If this was done other than by Fleming, I question the validity. PDAWSON3 (talk) 01:09, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
- Well, on that basis you'd have to question any action Bond did, any word he uttered, or anything at all about him that did not appear in the books written by the character's creator, Ian Fleming. If later writers had official sanction to write new novels about Bond, then surely anything that happens in those novels is taken to be something we can validly add to our knowledge of James Bond. And if that's the case, maybe we should move the article to "Sir James Bond". -- JackofOz (talk) 01:20, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

- I am persuaded by your point about official sanction, JackofOz. I'd still be interested to find out where, when and why the knighthood was awarded. PDAWSON3 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:45, 21 June 2009 (UTC).

- Yes, I was also intrigued by this. But remember, he's not a real person, so it's not a biography we're talking about. Novelists can quite freely refer to their characters having honours and postnominals, without ever revealing when and by whom those honours were conferred. -- JackofOz (talk) 01:51, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
- The only reference I can find to James Bond and knighthood is from "The Man With The Golden Gun". Bond, already a CMG, is offered knighthood for defeating Scaramanga (IE: becoming a KCMG). Bond -refuses- this award, saying it would make him a public figure, and he does not want that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.209.116.39 (talk) 10:57, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
[edit] James Bond's Quotes = Laconic Phrases?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laconic_phrase
Do James Bond's Quotes count as being Laconic Phrases? If so, does this mean that 'laconic humor' is an essential part of the character? --Arima (talk) 05:29, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Sean Connery Link
There should be a link to Sean Connery's page on the page that shows all the films and the actors that play bond the second time his name appears. It is linked the first time but is not linked the second time his name appears for the film Diamonds Are Forever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Conorml (talk • contribs) 01:56, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi There, I suppose there is a messing movie from the table in the main article, James Bond 13 Never Say Never Again 1983 By sean connery ....Why this movie didn't exist in the article ??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahmed.hamdy90 (talk • contribs) 19:20, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
- It does exist in the article, but it is not an EON Films movie. It is under the Non-EON films section. Canterbury Tail talk 19:39, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
