The boys are having great fun with GoldenEye!
For Thunderball I am ready to watch as well :)
Sorry, I can't get over the pacing. Connery peaked in DN and FRWL but he looks like he's having the time of his life in TB. The dialogue is the funniest without being ridiculous like DAF.
TSWLM will certainly not change that.
The PTS is great, first you see a sub in trouble, then it's typical Moore, "let me enlarge your vocabulary" "something came up".
The skiing scene of course is marvelous. Not only is it Moore's first time in the snow, but also only the second time you see Bond on ski.
The stunt must be the greatest ever in the series. I know there are many to choose from, but I think this is the best for its cinematic impression and the Bond theme kicking in once the flag is visible as the parachute.
Nobody does it better. There couldn't have been a better title for the Bond theme. And what about those gorgeous main titles from Maurice Binder.
Doesn't look Moore just stunning in the Commander's uniform! At this point I always wonder why the hell they abandoned this background for the Craig Bond era. One of many scandals concerning the current era.
Enter XXX :P
I wish...
Yes I might be thinking with my dick but oh boy....I feel a slight stiffness coming on...
Moore just had the best women. Barbara Bach is no exception. Do I care about her acting talent?? Should I?? Hell no... "I am man, you are woman" to quote Nick Arnstein.
The Egypt sequence is just brilliant from start to finish.
One of the best moments in the series, if not the best:
Moore standing between the buildings, seen from afar as a silhouette with THAT score kicking in.
Atmospheric to the max, goosebumps!
How Bond disposes of the thug on top of the building is brilliant. So elegant, so merciless, so deadly.
Jaws has a brilliant entrance as well. It's really frightening to see him kill the poor man. At this point you forget how silly he later would become.
Barbara Bach in THAT dress, bloody freaking boner :))
At this point I had to stop the movie for a wank stop.....drink stop!! Christ...
I know exactly what Sir Rog is thinking here...Rated XXX for sure...
now that I got off....that off my mind...let's continue with this total fun ride.
Also the score works well in that moment.
It's one of those great small moments that always surprises me again, when watching TSWLM.
Also the camera movement is very effective there. They are both shot point of view, from a distance, highlighting the ideological devide.
And that's exactly how Denise Richards got cast. One good thing about the current era - beautiful women who can actually act
...and here we go!
Is also obvious Bond unlike Solitaire or Kananga, does not believe in the cards. His eyes become so wide when solitaire tells her about the magic mumbo jumbo.
In his first appearace he hadn't solidified his role and because he was so different compared to the two previous leads, I felt like I was watching Roger Moore plsying Simon Templar, playing James Bond, playing Roger Moore. So in fewer words plsying himself :p
And the slightly aged racial strereotypes. Slight racism in the form of Sheriff J.W. Pepper. Character straight out of some comedy film.
Jane Seymour was and is one of the prettiest Bond girls. But apart from her mystic powers, didn't really leave an impact. Pretty hollow character.
The villain had one of the most hilarious deaths ever. He just ballooned out of the shark tank and blew out like a large human sized balloon. The man had no guts. No blood for that matter.
Also, great sing-along theme song.
And the funhouse itself. Really makes me feel like I'm watching a Bond film. I usually rate LALD higher than TMWTGG. But this time I might feel differently. The dated blaxploitation didn't do it for me this time and I kind of wanted to jump into this next movie as soon as possible.
James Bond Island,as it is called,is still VERY popular for tourists and the 'mushroom shaped rock' is still there.
(Blimey,Scaramanga liked his mushrooms didnt he ,now i think about it ?)
@SharkBait plus @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 = 52
@barryt007 plus @BondJasonBond006 = 88
:))
Hahaha love it Jason !!
That's pretty cool actually.
Of course now you'll come and say you are Connery's Dr. No age....yeah...yeah..shut it :P :))
DTS sound this time-
reliable gunbarrel music -traditional..........yes
Rog takes off his hat to reveal his pompadour. In a few weeks my hair will probably be that long and as light...maybe I should attempt the Rog in OP look? Maybe when I'm 55?
great PTS!
