Busted! If we're confessing our sins, then I have to be honest and say RM was also the first Bond I watched. It had Jaws in the movie. I also identified with RM as Bond. So, I'm busted too
But after that, I read the original novels and watched the SC movies. He was much closer to Fleming's character. That's when I turned on RM. He seemed too soft, too effeminate and too 70s disco. Looking back, RM definitely had cooler gadgets (c'mon, Lotus Esprit submarine) and better quips. The ladies were just as gorgeous with equally ridiculous names.
Loved those misogynistic, sexist Bond movies!
Connery, Moore, Craig, then the rest.

Holly Goodhead, Batman!
Did anyone not watch Bond movies for the sexy Bond girls and their double-entendre names?
What is wrong with you, Brownie? Were you one of them.... sissy boys?
Damn right I'm a proud pushy aficionado.

Sorry, you're right - my bad
No worries. But you had me questioning my vast amount of useless pop culture knowledge.

Bond: You're one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen.
Tatiana Romanova: Thank you, but I think my mouth is too big.
Bond: No, it's the right size... for me, that is.
I attended one of his camps 30 years ago, earlier this year (pre covid) I saw him with a couple other Whitecap alumni walking down the street. I should have stopped him to say hi.
