It's 1985's "View to a Kill". She's blown up by Christopher Walken while saving Roger Moore's life.
I'm not sure if Grace Jones dying so Roger Moore may live is necessarily a net gain for the human race.

I second that emotion. Does Moore rate above 4th place on anyone's list of Bonds? To quote a friend "Roger fucking Moore? He never even kissed a girl!"

The sad thing is, George Lazenby could have had most of Moore's movies. They brought Moore in because Lazenby, on the advice of his agent (who was convinced that a good old-fashioned chauvanist like Bond wouldn't play in the hip and forward-thinking 70's), abandoned his contract with Eon pictures.
Lazenby was in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" and is probably the 3rd best Bond ever, after Connery and Craig.

Brosnan, I think, embodied the literary character of the sort of rough-and-tumble but classy guy that Ian Fleming wrote about. But you are right. He had the shittiest of shitty movies. (Except I have a special place in my heart for Goldeneye, which was my first experience with the Bond universe, and has colored my approach to women, fast cars, and alcohol ever since).
On a somewhat unrelated note: I was so pissed that Clive Owen was not chosen as the new Bond. However, Mr. Craig is doing a bang-up job of it, so I'm not complaining.

I liked the Brosnan movies. I didn't expect them to be works of art, just some cool gadgets, some fights, saving the day, and that's what I got.
Go back and watch the old Bond Movies. The acting is terrible and the stunt fights, falling, etc., is ridiculous. They are still cool movies but I find it hard to understand how Bond fans can call the new ones crap. Glass houses.
I like them all. They all have their strengths.

Keep in mind, Godzilla aficionados will call bullshit a thousand times on the 1998 American film. But seriously, were Tokyo SOS or Godzilla 1985 any better? I postulate that no, they were not; people just like a certain kind of poorly made film, and usually such films improve with age.
But yeah, "Tomorrow Never Dies" was a total pile of shit.

As both a fan of Godzilla & 007 I have noticed a similiarity in both those franchises: Big budgets/quality in the 50's/Early 60's; Some decently made films in the new millineum; and a few decent ones in between (surrounded by lots of just plain shit)

Not necessarily when it comes to cartridge-based games, my friend. It can save on the game cartridge, a memory card (N64 only - wasn't invented by the time of the SNES and Genesis), and sometimes, on the console itself. Depends on the game.
I, personally, bought an N64 again just for one game and one game only: WWF No Mercy.
And yes, it stomps massive ass. No wrestling game, to this day, can compare.* And sadly I'm not joking here.
*Def Jam: Fight For NY came pretty damned close, but arguably almost not a true wrestling game. Still, amazingly good game.

That isn't really the point.
Daniel Craig lacks finesse. The man basically just plays a thug. He is the Homo habilis of Bonds, all smacking things with chipped flint and swinging his burley arms around. He has turned James Bond from a thing that men aspire to into a thing that men evolve out of.
And while Casino Royale was passably entertaining... Quantum of Solace (even the title is the most pretentious drivel imaginable) was just a modern art abortion of a film. It was plotless, pointless, senseless, horrifically abstract, and by several miles the worst James Bond film ever made. EVER. When it was over, I thought I'd just watched the pre-intro to the scene and was understandably confused that the ending credits were not actually the intro credits.
Daniel Craig should step away from James Bond... permanently... and leave it in the hands of someone who actually has style.

Moore is third on my list (behind Dalton and Connery, IN THAT ORDER). I'm not ranking Craig until after I see Quantum of Solace.

Yeah, that was a while ago, too. Notice, though he did paint her ass, here - he went ahead and painted two large penises on her back. Good for you, Keith!
Even though I'm into traditional oil painting, I still have good memories of Haring. I went to art school in NYC, in the late '80s to early '90's, and his stuff was still on the walls of subway stations even though he was already a huge name in the NY art scene. The Pop Shop opened up right across the street from my school, too, so I saw his stuff constantly. Simpler times, my friends.

I must admit that I went to see "A View to a Kill" on its opening day just because Duran Duran did the theme song. I was a teenage girl at the time, which might be a mitigating circumstance?
But with my adult wisdom I can now say that no Bond theme song can beat "Goldfinger." He loves GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!

I'm not a huge Grace Jones fan, but I'd probably have been happier if Tanya Roberts' character was bumped off in A View To A Kill. It's probably not her fault, cos she's fairly amusing as Donna's mother in That 70's Show, but all she does in AVTAK, especially the second half, exclaiming "James!" (if danger is imminent) or "Oh, James" (when he saves her, again).
A low point in the history of the Bond Girl.

Way back in 2008, candidate Ray Smuckles promised his mother, and Achewood, that:
"You won't see me gallivanting around in no golf shirt!"
But it seems Mayor Smuckles has a little problem remembering that promise.
Kind of makes you wonder ... just what kind of cat Ray Smuckles is. Just what other promises he intends to break in his second term.
So before you vote this November, just ask yourself: Can we trust our children's future to a man who lies to his mother about ties and combing his hair?

Sure, you've got your Strombergs, your Draxes, your Kamal Khans. They all had the required eccentricities and willingness to sacrifice subordinates and innocent life alike. But Max Zorrin, he had the intangibles. Like those crazy eyes that let the world know, "I'm the kind of man who booby traps equestrian courses." That, and the fact that he was a product of Nazi genetic experiments.

^^^ good old "old female" accounts :)
Strips Viewed: 5
Yeah, yeah. But five strips viewed doesn't apply to all of us ladies.
yeah, hold your cursor over MY avatar. i dare you.
Mine, too ;-; You should comment more!
The account is called "sock_puppet." Does this not imply that it is a "sock puppet account" for someone? Perhaps someone who has viewed more strips?
So I saw that this totally became a thing in later strips. Sorry, I am late to the comments sometimes.

the point of replying to a comment on assetbar is to actually reply to it.
not to just see how high up you can get your comment on the page.
distinctions .
I am an adult and enjoy anime.
My father once knew a man!

oh, i didn't know there was a quote function...
sexy.
It turns me on, sure.
This little three-post-chain has the smell of irony about it. It is a distinct smell, rather similar to the smell of menses.
Man, everyone is being way to hard on this guy.
I'm a stickler for bad arguments. Have whatever opinion you want, but dude, back it up well for goodness' sake.
I feel that everyone is being far too hard on him due to the fact that this is just a forum on the internet, with no grave importance. This is not senate. He is not jumping to the head of a line for the toilet. He is just making a non-offensive post on the internet.

Wow, all this vitriol because one of your posts was lamed into oblivion.
Yep, and since I've had people following me around. Almost makes reading a webcomic I like WORK. Almost.
Feel like work that should be. Lack of edit function is frustrating.
Listen, dude - I can't speak for everyone here, but it seems to me that the reason the lames rain down upon you has a lot to do with your reaction to those lames. Someone might lame you just off-the-cuff, not thinking much about it one way or the other (I have done this), and that could be the end of it. But then you get all whiny and over-defensive about it. That only makes people (like me) feel better for having lamed you in the first place. Then everybody else sees what's happening and they throw theirs in, too, 'cause it really has become as lame as can be. Then you make another petulant comment and the flood gates just open wide, man. And you opened them.
Or it could just be your anime avatar. Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot. You're avatar from a Japanese-made video game which looks exactly like anime. See, I pay attention.
Point is, take your lames like a man and think for at least a few seconds about what you're submitting. Ask yourself - Is it lame? Is it something that a child would write? Will every fake person here hate me for this?
Also, you may find that if you change your avatar to a picture of someone shouting (preferably a character from this comic) you'll see a substantial increase in your amount of chubbies and maybe a corresponding decrease in your amount of lames. It won't even matter what you say, just as long as you have your caps lock on. These people eat that shit up.
I'm just trying to help.
Now I will take all the lames which I, myself, will justly garner from this over-long and condescending comment. I will allow them to run over me and through me, and I shall become a better fake man. This is the True Path.

Ah crap. I meant to chubby you too but I ran out.
By the way, vast improvement on the avatar front with Jemaine and Bret, if my opinion means a god damned thing.
yeah, are those the flight of the conchords guys? They are quite rad.
Yis. Again, I'd chubb but as I mentioned don't have the POWARRR on this page
The fact that you've replied to this calmly and with a rational argument confirms for me that you're a real guy somewhere. For whatever it's worth, I'll remember that.
hey man, do you know how stupid I feel every time I make one of those comments?
Hey, chochacho. That wasn't meant as a personal indictment! Don't feel stupid just 'cause you picked a good avatar! I was just making a observation about how people react toward it, which is fine, too. You...are...rad!
"... an observation..."
Now who feels stupid?
Me (I do)
:]
I wouldn't worry about it that much, the internet is full of opinionated assholes. The fact that they can anonymously talk shit on the internet with no repercussions (I.e. punched in the nose) makes them feel safe from their mother's basement where their pasty skin grows mold. Remember kids, Will Wheaton says "Don't be a dick!"
Important announcement: pasty children living underground are not the only sorts to benefit from internet anonymity when mouthing off. Cliche-toting nubs like yourself seem to enjoy it too, and there is no telling what sort of a person you are beyond the monitor... besides a cliche-toting nub.
Could you become... the first user on Assetbar that I actually use the "ignore" function for? (after Retardo)
he just became the fourth.
and you both are being way to dickish.
you
I support you 100% bro. Because I don't care!
who are you talking to in these posts?
Do you understand the definition of the word "reply"? DO YOU MOTHAFUCKA? DO YOU WANT TO TASTE THE FUCKING CURB?
...Whoa, I don't actually care. I got a whiff of a reference and it just ran away with me. I have to lie down now, I'm a bit dizzy. Sorry, everyone.
why on earth would it be the "reply" button if it wasn't meant for replies? if it was for high-posting, it would be the "cut in line at the assetbar forum" button......duh
To reply is to respond. No more and no less. There is nothing in the word that mandates relevance to the original topic. Nothing . Only that it follows after the original.
The guy is within his rights.
what
I am concerned that you may be turning into the next asherdan.
You give him too much credit.
Come on triple n, don't go laming the messenger.

yes, i meant to call you a raging phallus. that is exactly what i want out of life, is to call someone on the internet a tumescence.

Heh. Comedy troll.
It really is a poor slogan. See?
[IMGS OFF]
Would you vote for that? Be honest.
I would, but I think that's more a personal issue thing that I need to work through.
Thank you everyone for your cards and prayers.
And he let Tony Hawk down.
Project 8 let me down. i'm kind of mad at Tony Hawk at the moment.
Everything after Tony Hawk's Underground 1 has been a let down.
...good point. i played AW and wasn't enthused and i'm glad i never got THUG2..but yes, grinding and shredding around The Vet and Moscow (as well as School II) is much fun.
Holy crap, the fact that Tony Hawk's UnderGround spells THUG has never occurred to me. It is perhaps the most meaningless revelation I've had all year! WAHOO! Ketel One for all!
*slap*

anyways..i broke down and got American Wasteland the day after this exchange but the used copy i got was scratched to oblivion so i have to take it back and make the shop work their descratchitizing magic on it.
Tell them to put it in the espresso machine. Do it for your children.
it's a fun enough game. it's kinda lame they stepped it back down to, like, playstation 1.5-style graphics 'cos they did too much with it, but it was fun. just being able to do the ridiculous natas spins to a 1440 truckstand to one-footed manual to primo to casper to anti-casper to casper to 360-flip
