JAMES! JAMES!!
MAAAAXX!
I'll get it.
THAT is NOT the soap.
Ha ha
OOOOHH
It's a wonderful scene.
Now I'm onto a Connery film.........
DR. NO
Although there are many to chose from, this film has my favorite M sequence. I love that M and Moneypenny are working the graveyard shift and call Bond in at 3am. The fact that this scene takes place after 3 in the morning gives it a little extra something.
Peter Burton as Boothroyd isn't bad in his limited role. Its like watching THE ROCKFORD FILES pilot in which Rocky is played by Robert Donley rather than the wonderful Noah Berry Jr.
Bond lands in Seattle Washington at SeaTac Airport. That is NOT the Boeing airport as some have reported.
Now we cut to Jamaica.
The James Bond theme kicks in loudly as Jack Lord ruffles his newspaper.
Bond vs Mr. Jones is my favorite scene in the series.
007 swings with his right and hits with his left. Just like Willis Jackson.
as performed by Sean Connery.
He did a rendition of this hit for Johnny Carson while promoting NSNA.
In honor of Connery's look in this film I'm wearing my sea island blue polo style shirt.
Mine is slightly more turquoise in hue in honor of the new Bond film NO TIME TO DIE.
Bond barks orders at everyone in this film: HONEY, GIVE ME THE KNIFE!
We get a climactic gunbarrel image for this first time. Bookends this classic.
This is one part of the film that looks very 50s. It's the slick hair and sleeveless shirt that does it.
Ipcressy. Now there's a word you won't hear again. Or ever.
Superb PTS opening. One of the best.
I don't think I've watched this one since that wonderful Brosnan watch along last year. I'm way overdue, then.
Excellent title song and title sequence.
I love that Bond's watch band is at least two sizes too big here.
Not quite sure if it's intended to be sexy, funny or both.
Brosnan kicking the guy's ass with a towel however, is both bad ass and funny.
The Natalya/ Boris rapport scene.
Boris reminds me of an old friend, who dressed in that style and had that exact haircut.
He hated GOLDENEYE.
I liked it, so he effectively ended our friendship.
I know you dream a lot
Holding on to lies
And you wait around
For someone to know where you hide
In your dreams, you feel a lot
But you keep it all inside
And you close your eyes
It helps keep you alive
But the experience of loving
Won't take all the pain away
Just understanding for the first time
What you feel inside, love is in your life
(The experience of love, first time)
And having come this far
Cherishing your dreams
You have realized now
How they help keep you alone
And the experience of loving
Won't take all the pain away
Just understanding for the first time
What you feel inside, love is in your life
Breathing in the scent of love
(Leave the dreams behind)
Sensing life in everything under the sky
And the experience of loving
Won't take all the pain away
Just understanding for the first time
What you feel inside, love is in your life
Searching forever
(The experience of love, under the sky)
Won't take all the pain away
For the first time
(Under the sky)
Love is in your life
(The experience of love)
Take it below, feel the flow
Hold it close, don't let it go
(The experience of love, under the sky)
It won't take all the pain away
(The experience of love)
For the first time
(Under the sky)
When love is in your life
(The experience of love)
For the first time
(Under the sky)
Searching forever
(The experience of love)
For the first time
(Under the sky)
DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER
Normally I'd have watched this one 5 times so far this year. But it's not a normal year, so getting a late start.
The Blu-ray is the UK print. It reads "Colour by Technicolor" . I remember the CBS/Fox Home video edition using the American spelling and reversing Saltzman and Broccoli's name sin the credits.
Always liked this M scene. No office scene. Sean hasn't been seen in M's iconic office in 6 years by this point.
Several changes: the cat's meow in in the PTS as we segue into the titles is radically different in the Lowery version than the original film.
Also there's an extra sound effect of the copter crashing.
I tend to think of these changes as not true to the original film.
I feel like I'm watching a George Lucas altered version of DIAMONDS.
