That's one of the best lines in the film. I use it from time to time myself.
Words can't describe how off your are with the numbering.
It is simple quantum theory.
Sorry @doubleohdad but you can't have this one. Bond dueling it out with Largo over video games, wearing overalls, and defeating a villain with pee pee are all dumber than anything in any Roger Moore film. If you actually believe that NSNA is some sort of return to form for the classic Bond films than I'm sorry but your love for Connery and hatred for Moore has made you delusional. As @Benny very accurately stated, Connery will star in Moore style films if the money is right but he was wrong about one thing. NSNA is far worse than a Moore film as even the silliest of the Moore films all knew exactly what they were and wore their hearts on their sleeves. NSNA on the other hand is a confused mess from start to finish produced by a leech of a man who always loved fame far more than he loved James Bond and starring a man who was there for three reasons, 1) To collect a big fat paycheck, 2) To re-ignite a film career that had fizzled considerably since he left Bond behind, and 3) To give a $36 million dollar middle finger to Cubby Broccoli over disputes that they had over 15 years ago.
This list in particular is a complete mess. We're up to #66 by my count.
66) Before starting her career as a professional photojournalist Vickie Vale spent her time as a trophy girlfriend.
67) Vickie Vale clearly had a thing for short and skinny psychopathic billionaires with bad hairlines.
68) "I hope we're going to have some gratuitous sex and violence" is the least Qish line ever uttered on film. John Cleese in every second of all his cheesiness was more faithful to the spirit of Q than this.
Siskel and Ebert had the biggest man-crushes on Connery in the world. Well maybe second biggest after a certain board member. Listening to their review of NSNA you can see them practically fawn over Connery like two school girls talking about their favorite boy band. They'd might aswell have given that Penelope Smallbone deep sigh. Then seeing them talk about how NSNA is a new and interesting kind of thriller all the while completely ignorant to the fact that it's a remake of Thunderball. This Connery love-sickness lasted all the way until GE where Siskel said Connery was the only Bond worth our time. Like I've said before there are old-timers out there that never got over Connery leaving the series and in their minds every Bond film to come after doesn't exist. It comes down to stubbornness, a closed-minded attitude, and a man-crush over everyone's favorite Scot.
I'll give you that it's better than DAD and GF, but other than those... It's a lackluster repeat of Thunderball, with only two good actors (Connery and Edward Fox), no good fight scenes after the opening, the stupid thrown urine gag that, while funny, wears on you quick, and so few redeeming factors that the movie's just not worth it.
Now that I think of it, I probably would watch DAD over this, if only because Brosnan's on top of his game there, while Connery clearly needed some time at the health clinic himself before Bond was sent back there for the second time in twenty years.
