    I like this Blofeld better than Christoph Waltz's Blofeld.
    I like a guy who's willing to negotiate.

    I love Conti's score as Bond is driving to Gonzales' party.

    Here we go...................
    you just see that girl's nipple as she's making out with the dude in the beige suit while Bond sneaks in below them.

    Try to keep it up.....then ease it in...................

    Who the Hell is RAGE, anyway?

    I might have taken him up on that offer of a delicatessen in stainless steel.

    The identigraph gives a standard issue 1981 haircut for male caucasian.
    Reminds me a bit of John Ritter's hair at the time.

    I like the new red Lotus Bond drives.

    Bibi is immediately turned on by Bond.

    Charles Dance is great. My favorite actor to play Ian Fleming.

    Bond questions Bibi about Kreigler and he's more than happy to blurt out any and every bit of information she knows about him.

    Bond gets his ass kicked a little before this hockey rink fight turns comedic.

    Classic casino sequence, underrated, IMO. I love how dark it's lit. This is the ambience I pictured in the CASINO ROYALE novel.

    Bunky got destroyed.

    Bond and Kristatos dine together, another scene I find very Fleming-esque.

    The soothing music in the background as Bond and Kristatos go about their meal makes me wonder if Bill Conti and Michel Legrand shared notes.

    I read that in a deleted scene, at the end of the ice hockey fight, one of the hockey thug's masks was to fall off, and it be revealed that Charles Dance was one of them.

    I like the little laugh Apostis gives as Bond goes off with Lisl.

    Bond has great chemistry with Lisl. He's genuinely pissed when she's killed.

    Columbo's crew all look like they could be in an '80's pop/rock band like STYX or something.

    We see Lisl's nipple too.

    I think the day for night is timed too dark on the Blu-ray as Bond kicks Locque's car off the cliff.

    Conserve your gas supply. Speak only when necessary.
    Yet, Bond doesn't shut up.

    The keelhauling bit is one of my favorite "Bond in peril" moments in the series.
    Roger Moore has some great facial expressions as he's using the coral to cut the ropes.

    I like scenes where sharks eat people in Bond films.

    Gene Siskel thought FYEO was the first good Bond film made since TB, while Roger Ebert thought is was good enough to recommend, but paled in comparison to the other Roger outings.

    I love the underwater scenes in this film. The Mantis sub pilot was the guy who designed it, Graham Hawkes.

    The mantis is great.
    Excellent underwater scenes. When I was a kid I loved that this film had Bond doing practically everything: skiing, going underwater, rock climbing, casino gambling, etc.
    Great stuff.

    It's got it all and an animal scare. You couldn't ask for more.

    Indeed. This was a great viewing!

    It's an incredibly well staged action sequence. Brilliant editing 👍

    Watching OCTOPUSSY now.

    Happy anniversary to the 13th Bond epic.

    Hard to believe it's been 11 days since I've posted here. 11 days without my hero, Bond. How did I survive?

    A rough week at work was inevitably leading to my dismissal. So this morning I called out, hit the pavement and landed a better paying job by lunch. I then resigned from my current position this afternoon.
    After all that I need to see Roger Moore stop a bomb from exploding and the obstacles he goes thru to get there.

    I really like Robert Brown's M. Whether he's Hargreaves or Messervy here never mattered to me. He's just M and he's not a bad one, IMO.
