I can’t remember how we treat Bond films in regards “sequels”, but I know that we did cover it in an earlier thread. Maybe you can’t use multiple Bond films with the same Bond (Connery, Moore, Brosnan)? I’ll search, but **Twickster** probably remembers. It’s because she’s _so_ sexy.

Mmmmmm…Gabrielle Anwar

Come on y’all. We can’t let the hamptsers get as fat and lazy as I am. I think I’m just going to have to spell it that way on the boards from here on out…

Well, I’ll let \*\*Twickster \*\*decide, because she is pretty hot, but here is the only [discussion](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=6297397#post6297397) that I remember of the topic. It doesn’t look as if we reached a conclusion.

Well, I just looked at that discussion too; it appears I’m the one who raised the question in the last game. I voted for separate since they’re not related plotlines/stories (my definition of a sequel, YMMV) - I think the only using one film per Bond actor was the compromise.

I won’t comment on **twickster** ’s hotness as I don’t know how she’d feel about another female doing so (;)) but I’m willing to let her decide the ruling.

Oh, and re: _Gabrielle Anwar_, I’ll play **The Three Musketeers** (1993 version).

I’m pretty sure that the compromise became the custom, but it would be difficult to search for examples. Since we’ve appointed an arbiter, she can speak _ex cathedra_.

You rang?

(Sorry, gang – I missed a full week when I was away on vacation, and decided not to try to catch up when I got back. Despite the flattery, I haven’t done a vanity search in the last five minutes, so had to wait for **gfactor** to email me to realize my solomonic hotness was being paged.)

My decree: One 007 film per Bond.

Catch y’all in the next round, whenever that starts.

Now ya see, this is the type of writer we need on the Supreme Court. Note the brevity of the opinion; the clarity of reasoning; the non-partisan decision. Gotta love it. 😃
