It is a dilemma 😁
@Max_The_Parrot Definitely mabey!
At the scene with Goldfinger and the mobsters. I love when the floor moves and one of the mobsters says 'what is this a merry go round???'. Has the guy ever seen a merry go round?
Quite enjoying this viewing! Happy James Bond day all!
Agreed. DN has a lot of my favorite characters, minor and major.
Even the most minor of characters in DN are quite fun like Count Prince Miller, the very exuberant club dancer, during the Jump Up scene.
Well Barbara was wearing that silly hat that did her no favours...! Caroline Munro is quite breathtaking in Spy though....
So today is indeed the 36th anniversary of the U.S. release of this iconic classic (now imitated by so many of the Craig era Bond films). Imitated may not be the correct word. Influenced, maybe.
Here it is..................
the GREATEST movie ever made...................
NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN
I must say I do love Connery in full military gear. He looks great here as an older Bond. I hope Craig has a similar vibe in the newest masterpiece : NO TIME TO DIE.
Bond is reamed a new one by the new M, Edward Fox.
Still, it looks old school enough I can honestly say I prefer this office to Judi Dench's.
Conery is wearing a lot of eyeliner.
Let's get through this Moneypenny scene so fast the typical 1983 audience members who don't have access to a VHS player won't notice this isn't Lois Maxwell.
Didn't work.
I like Pamela Salem as Moneypenny, actually.
Pierce Brosnan was in the "Carpathian Eagle" episode.
Shplendid!
Bond is enjoying his time with Prunella Gee. She's adjusting the slight lesions of his thoracic vertebrae. I could use that actually. I slipped on some ice last winter and injured up my back royally. I was out of commission for a few days. When I fell I made sure to loudly present my impression of Roger's "OOOOOOOOOOORRHHHHHHHHHHH!"
It was amazing.
I want to try some Quail's eggs some time. Where the Hell do you find some, though?
This is why we never heard from Chuck Cunningham again, and he disappeared into television obscurity.
Gavin O Herilihy is great, though. Brad in SUPERMAN III.
Bond's doctor at Shrubland's was Scrooge's nephew in the Albert Finney musical SCROOGE.
He should have offered Scrooge an enema, too. That would have been funny.
Bond is getting creamed.
The kitchen reminds me of the kitchen in THE SHINING. I should watch that movie this Halloween season. It's pretty funny.
Looks like they're in a basement floor of sorts by the end of this.
Now they're in the urine lab.
M again reams Bond a new one.
In fact I losht four poundsh and God knowsh how many free radicalsh.
Fatima is great.
I'm not so sure I like the transfer on this 2009 DVD release. The Blu-ray used the same transfer, so I doubt it's much better. This looks too muted, IMO. Maybe too much edge enhancement? I actually remember how this film looked in cinemas. The colors of the video game graphics were vibrant red and blue.
I was looking at old clips on Youtube of Cinemax airings of this film back in '84 and the colors on that transfer were far superior, IMO.
I think Edward Fox has good hair. Looks fairly Bondian, himself, IMO.
Connery's neck is squared in this one. In all of his other Bond films it was tapered.
Largo is quite chirpy and cheerful as he comes into work for the morning.
M thinks Bond is a dumb ass.
"OH DO COME ALONG, BOND!"
Just play those notes over and over............
Algy is my second favorite Q after Desmond.
Bond meets Fatlima.
You can just see her nipple as she removes her bathing suit: "We've got time to kill"
Valerie Leon is my favorite Hammer Glamour beauty (alongside Ingrid Pitt).
Valerie Leon is completely turned on by the sight of Connery in dungarees.
Had he worn a straw hat that would have really sealed the deal.
I love the easy listening, jazzy, cheese that is Michel Legrand's score as the film cuts to France. 1983 at it's finest.
I think we're probably in for something similar with NTTD. Just a hunch.
More wonderful music as Bond and Felix perv on Domino while she dances on the deck of the Flying Saucer.
And even more as we segue to the massage sequence.
OH YEAH..................
the soothing sounds of Michel LeGrand............
1983.
All the bikini clad beauties appear to be leering at Connery yet are secretly thinking:
"Isn't that the guy that used to play Mr Roger on THREE'S COMPANY?"
Connery's toupee in this sequence looks like the Mr Roper hairstyle.
He also believed the gunbarrel was in fact a camera aperture, thanks to his research on the imdb forums.
I love Connery's "My name is Bond. JAMES Bond. Along with the nod he does as he emphasized JAMES.
"Rather like life! We continue?"
Cheesy video games were huge in the early '80's.
This scene is a bit dated, but I like it anyway. The game itself is quite high tech and advanced for 1983, kind of ahead of ti's time.
I vividly remember this is the cinema. The close ups of Connery behind the graphic. I remember thinking he looked a lot older here, but good.
The Monday after we saw this opening weekend I told everyone at school.
I remember my 3rd grade teacher telling me she was planning on seeing it.
The TV spot trailers played a lot, and there was quite a bit of coverage on this film.
In the novel however, as soon as he gets the green-light to go on assignment he immediately has May cook him some scrambled eggs, toast, etc. The whole works.
He has this "screw this healthy new diet bullsh*t" attitude and goes for something more filling.
I love the dust and dirt on Connery's black dinner suit .
Bernie Casey was an incredibly cool Felix Leiter. One of the best, IMO.
