Today, October 5th, is the 50th anniversary of the world seeing Ursula Andress walk out of the ocean in a bikini for the first time, which is to say that it's the 50th anniversary of the first James Bond film, Dr. No. The first martini's on us, 007, then you can buy the rest. We, um, forgot our wallet. [It's a vodka martini! A martini has gin, dammit! -Vince]
To celebrate the occasion, a swell documentary was made by Epix. It's called Everything or Nothing, and it focuses on the three men who brought James Bond to the screen: producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman and Bond author Ian Fleming.
Last night, Vanity Fair and Epix teamed up for a screening of Everything or Nothing (which airs on Epix tomorrow night at 8 p.m.), and UPROXX was there for the red carpet premiere to ask questions to famous people about their favorite Bond film and, more importantly, their favorite Bond Girl (Claudine Auger or GTFO). Yes, Kate Upton was there, and yes, she's pretty and nice in real life, and no, I didn't give her your number. Sorry.

Robert Davi (Franz Sanchez from License to Kill)
Chris Noth (Sex and the City, The Good Wife)
Let's say you were cast in the next Bond film, which they've decided to give an American spin, for some reason. Would you rather play Bond or a Bond villain?
Probably Bond. I'd have to get in really great shape.
Monika Chiang (designer)
If you were picked to style the next Bond Girl, what would she look like?
I'd definitely have some kind of sexy one-piece cut-out, some kind of strappy thing, really slinky. Showing lots of leg. Maybe an asymmetrical dress.
On behalf of men everywhere, thank you.
Theophilus London
Chace Crawford (Gossip Girl)
What was the first Bond Girl image you remember from growing up?
It was that Life cover with Shirley Eaton on it. She was painted in gold.
Fisher Stevens (Lost, Early Edition, Short Circuit)
Jeffrey Wright (Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire)
Robert Buckley (666 Park Avenue) and Jena Sims (Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader)
Vince's Note: Rob Buckley and I lived in the same dorm at UCSD. I'd like to think it was my chiseled features and way with the ladies that first inspired him to become a heartthrob.
Jim Norton
Solange Knowles
[Nice diaper. -Vince]
Kate Upton
/stutters out, "So, um, you like...stuff?" for five minutes, then...
Who was your first favorite Bond Girl?
Halle Berry, of course.
Is there a certain style of a Bond Girl that appeals to you?
I think the sexy, a little bit hardcore, rough-style is really cool.
Is that how you'd play the role if you were cast in the next movie?
For sure. *laughs*
What's your favorite Bond movie?
I liked when Pierce Brosnan was James Bond because I love him as an actor, so I really enjoyed those movies.
What about his films makes him your favorite?
He's a good actor. He's a good looking guy. *laughs* He played it well.

Sooooo…you have an article where Kate Upton is concealing her body and revealing her thoughts? Just a hypothetical-ish question here, you ever been tested for dyslexia son?
I like “Pierce Bronson” too. He’s as tough as his older brother Charles but much more refined.
Nothing brings out the stars quite like a monorail opening, or, it would seem, a Bond documentary.
“Stars.” To quote Inigo Montoya, “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” I’m not the hippest monkey in the coconut tree but I literally had NO IDEA who most of those people were.
Ok, two things:
1. Did nobody think to ask Kate Upton what her Bond girl name would be?
2. How dare you not list the criminally underrated Key West in Fischer Stevens’ bio-caption?
1. She’s Pussy Galore’s granddaughter, Boobies Galore.
I bet Kate Upton smells like cinnamon and tastes a little like caramel with sea salt.
Glad to see Theophilus London dressed for the event. And this is a nice reminder that Kate Upton was born in the nineties.
Jim Norton… the fuck?
(*In Uncle Paul voice*) Yay!!
Li’l Yimmy Norden getting some love.
Considering she’s 20 she probably never bothered watching pre-Brosnan Bond movies…
Lame, needs more Kate Upton pix.
So… Theophilus London. Is this a type of milk? I’m so confused.
Throw a comma in there and I’d assume it’s a neighborhood.
“Oh, I just moved to Theophilus, my lease was up at my place in Old Buckinghamshire Abbey.”
And this is why you Google things before you post them, folks – instead of just being the most British sounding thing I could make up, Buckinhamshire is a real goddamn place.
It’s a lot better than Keifer London.
I knew who Theophilus London was because I love rap and am surrounded by hipsters :(
Why is Chance Crawford wearing a t-shirt with a suit jacket? At least he cleaned up his eyebrows a bit.
I’m glad to see some Claudine Augier admiration. I always thought she was criminally underrated as a Bond girl. In fact I’d say ‘Thunderball’ has the hottest collection of Bond girls in the entire series.
So did she actually say Halle Berry was her favorite Bond girl (“of course”?), or is that interview some sort of parody that went over my head?
