    Mendes says in the commentary that they worked really hard to make the shower scene not seem creepy. Which makes me wonder how it looked originally.

    Love the brief scene with Dent and Dr. No’s voice.

    Time for the famous Bond killing Dent scene. It’s simply perfect - one of the best moments in the franchise.

    London scenes in SF sooo much more important than SP's....

    There are no more shadows??

    So wrong, future M-- So. Wrong...

    Silva's island...

    Seriously to all you DC haters... uh... I don't care about something as superficial as his height or driving gloves-- he plays our man to a Tee-- anyways--

    Silva's intro... OTT in the best way... Silva is a throwback to Fleming... (sexual ambiguity. sadism and anger)...

    Wait-- Bond pops pills and drinks?? Like Fleming?

    Yes, Mummy was very bad...

    But she never tied Bond to a chair...

    What makes you think this is my first time...?

    Oh. Mr. Bond.

    Look at Dc when he's released from his bindings... Good luck to the next actor...

    What's Bond's hobby: RESURECCTION

    SEVEINE'S DEATH:

    Build-up--- scary.

    Very Fleming.

    Nauseating.

    Bond's escape: wicked!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I like how Honey Ryder has her own Bond-like introduction. “Ryder. Honey, Ryder!”

    I think Roger’s best performances are, somewhat coincidentally, the ones in my favorite films of his: LALD, TSWLM, and FYEO.

    Roger was impeccable in LALD. He glided right into the role as if he had always been Bond.

    Quarrel’s death is one of the saddest and most disturbing in the series.

    I have never had a problem with this scene... HAF (two actors that are Hot As F***... same with the characters... Like Fleming's Tiffany (born from the brothel), Severine is probably a woman DC Bond would love until she left him...

    If Blofeld didn’t lead SPECTRE, surely Dr. No would have.

    Bond brought a tarantula with him into the shower.

    I have concluded an absolutely spectacular watch of DN. This film was rarely bettered in all the Bond films that followed; it’s just awesome.

    Yes, and he was wearing a Dracula cape. F***ing John Logan. Thank goodness he’s not writing for Bond anymore.

    INT. CHIMERA SHOWER

    Steam rises, pluming against moisture-specked glass. SEVERINE runs talon-like nails through the wet tendrils of hair running from her scalp down to mid-back.

    JAMES BOND slinks into picture wearing nothing but a Dracula cape tied about the neck. His hand rises from below. Upon it, the biggest ****ing tarantula you’ve ever seen. Also, irrelevant to scene at hand, BOND and SILVA may be brothers. More on that soon. Back to tarantula...

    OHMSS

    For Lazenby's birthday he gets the Blu-ray treatment.

    Office scene.


    Just noticed Bond must have put a new band on Grant's watch. I don't recall it being that light brown before.

    Funny I just watched my 1980's VHS copy only a few days ago.

    This film is one of my go-o Bonds I must say. I can watch it several times per year and not get burned out on it. I most certainly will be enjoying this one at Christmas time.

    Very cool!. I had just enough time to watch this before going to work.

    This one seems to get better and better with every viewing, and ,to me it was always one the best.


    I'm on the Gumbold office sequence now. This is hands down on of my favorite scenes in the series.
    Lazenby exudes cool throughout.

    Bond re arranges the furniture.

    Removes his watch...and waits.
    The only gadget in the film besides radio active lint. Unless I'm forgetting something.

    Love it. Lazenby is so awesome as James Bond; don’t care what the haters say! My watch begins now!!!

    Barry did a lot of amazing work on Bond, but I’m convinced OHMSS was his magnum opus.

    The action in OHMSS is some of the series’ best as well.

    Great action throughout.

    I'm at the Bond/Blofeld confrontation. Great scene where he reveals his plot. Savalas looks the business here. A great Blofeld, IMO. My favorite.
    Bond trapped in the cable bar machinery compartment. Great set.

    Here is where the CBS/Fox VHS differed. There were some missing shots here in that edition, and I believe the early 1988 MGM/UA home video version as well.

    Everyone has purple wrapping paper on their Christmas presents. Purple has a running theme in this film.
  • FoxRoxFoxRox

    Yes; I love all the purple. And Savalas is my favorite Blofeld too.

    Bond dangling above the snow on the cable. Great shot. We need more suspenseful scenes like this in future Bond films.

    Bond and M have so much friction in this one. Lazenby’s few scenes with Bernard Lee are terrific.
