    M and Tanner have to sit through an intensely boring presentation courtesy of C.
    That's pretty funny.

    Chelsea.
    Q lies through his teeth to cover Bond's ass.

    Meanwhile we get another nice snow scene. This really has atmosphere. The Mr. White bit is quite intense.

    The leisurely pace and somber tone of SP remind me of a Tom Selleck JESSE STONE movie.

    Madeleine's office is in a wonderful Bond location.
    This introduction scene is quite nice.
    Bond and Q hang out at the health bar.
    Q is happy to consume the beverages there, whereas Bond finally gives us his legendary catch phrase.

    STAY!!!!

    Great little fight.
    The cable car bit with Q is pretty good as well.

    He got away pretty quick.
    This action sequence is growing on me.

    Tangier sure has a lot of haze and smog since TLD. Maybe its just the yellow filter?

    I repeat:

    This feels like a JESSE STONE movie.

    M's hanging out at his favorite restaurant while Bond wines and dines Madeleine.
    Craig looks dashing as ever in the white dinner jacket.
    Craig is my hero.

    Madeleine looks amazing in this scene.

    I'm appreciating Waltz's Blofeld much more on this viewing. He's not bad at all.

    Here we go..........

    THE MUPPET MOVIE style torture scene.

    Bond looks like Kermit The Frog in this scene.

    Since this torture scene began I've started DR NO on my other Blu-ray player and now I'm up to THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS .
    By the time Madeleine tells Bond "I love you"
    I should be up to the Brosnan era.....................

    The greatest explosion in movie history.....or at least the most expensive.

    Moneypenny and Tanner get shot at. She should have said: Go backwards/forwards quickly!

    The ending London scenes with the shadows as Bond enters the damaged MI6 building reminds me of noir.

    This climax really isn't an action packed finale. It's more of a suspense build up.
    M could've shot Denbigh after he says" Careless" and that might've echoed the CASINO ROYALE PTS.

    That's brothers for you. They always know which buttons to press.

    M kicked Denbigh's a$$.

    Denbigh got off lucky. A few years earlier he would have been fighting Judi Dench's M.

    She would've been a lot tougher on him.

    I was quite enthralled with this viewing. Great stuff. Very different kind of Bond film considering it went back to formula.

    I'm more than ever excited for NTTD!

    Another great write up ToTheRight!
    Thing is, I was going to have another go at one of these....and I was going to choose 'SPECTRE'!!
    Oh well, plenty of other Bonds to choose from! 🤣🤣

    Thanks! I'd say go for it! You might find something new in SPECTRE.
    I quite enjoyed it this past viewing.

    THUNDERBALL

    This is another film I should track down the old 2000 SE DVD and compare.
    I fins the audio levels to be too low on the Blu-ray during the PTS dialogue .
    Against my better judgment I'm going with the less faithful DTS audio.

    I've always loved these titles , my favorite from Binder in the '60's.

    PRODUCED BY KEVIN MCCLORY


    Everybody cheers!

    Hooray!!!!!

    Yeah. The DTS version omits Largo's footsteps as he enters the SPECTRE meeting.

    WHY?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    I love the Shrublands sequences. Connery at his best.


    "On yogurt and lemon juice? I can hardly wait..........."

    My take on that line is Bond would be too weak with such a low protein diet. Therefore she could flip him on his back, and dominate him like Mayday would 20 years later.

    The rack does look uncomfortable.
    This is actually my earliest memory of THUNDERBALL from the ABC Sunday Night Movie airing of 1980.

    Sometimes I roll my sleeves all the way up like Bond here.

    I'm riveted and enthralled by the Vulcan sequence. This SPECTRE plot is ingenious.

    Ah, Domino!
    My favorite.

    I love the scenes at Palmyra. What do you do, Vargas?

    Always liked the Geiger counter watch. Breitling.
    Looks great on Connery.
  • QBranchQBranch Always have an escape plan. Mine is watching James Bond films.

    Probably my second favourite Connery film after FRWL. Went through a bit of a TB phase very recently, buying some scuba gear and a Cafe Martinique matchbook which mentions the film. A few GF items reappear in this film, such as Bond/Fiona's hotel room key and Moneypenny's ashtray. Perhaps the latter was a gift from Bond's return from Miami?

    Interesting! Very cool!
