But unlike the rest of the generations, we could say whatever the f*** we want and get away with it. We also did things and people didnt realize what we're doing, because none of you paid the f*** attention to us in the first place.
I’m not even sure ‘OHMSS’ is the best track on the soundtrack album! ‘Ski chase’, ‘this never happened to the other fellow’… it’s got so much… personality, with the moog and the xylophone
Lazenby had a ski double for insurance reasons, while being filmed by Willi Bogner. Meanwhile, Gen X learned to ski from Willi Bogner and Fuzzy Garhammer. Also, who needs guns to be cool?
At least we kind of look like Hoagie Carmichael? Odd, but On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is a fantastic film, so I’ll allow it. #thiswouldnthavehappenedtothatotherfellow
In the early 90s, there were hundreds of books, articles, documentaries, and other assorted blatherings of Hot Take Havers, all explaining that we were a generation of slackers who were going to do worse than our parents. Hell with 'em.
And finally we have Craig. He took the job and fucking hates it, really thinks the job should go to someone other than a cis white dude but doesn't have the power to make those changes.
You missed the Xennial micro-generation. Everyone always forgets about us. We are Q, toiling away in the background, making sure everything works like it should.
I firmly believe the reason Lazenby was fired after only one film is that Rigg upstaged him. You can’t have a Bond playing second fiddle in his own movie.

Also as a Gen Xer I don’t care

(in all seriousness , On Her Majesties Secret Service is a gem of a bond movie)
The joke is implying that we're (Gen X) also similarly lost/forgotten about.
I understand the confusion because a lot of us just don't GAF one way or another.
Not that one. The other one.
Sean Connery is obviously the Greatest Generation. He set the tone and foundation for franchise.
He is followed by Boomer Moore, a Bond who did marvelous things as a young man, but stayed around too long and almost took the franchise down. 1/2
Millennials are obviously Brosnan. Fresh energy and a new face that is dragged down due to the systemic problems brought by earlier iterations.
2/3 Whoops.
Also, the best Bond 😁
Starring Daniel Craig AND Timothy Dalton?
I'm down.

The whole construct of arbitrarily defined, type-cast "generations" is artificial and stupid from beginning to end. Don't.
