I had to wear a tight black leotard just like Domino's dance instructor for a play once.
Luckily I had a long black coat over it that looked like something Christopher Lee's Dracula might wear and black boots.
I do like the Algernon incarnation of Q. Solid chemistry with Connery.
Thank you.
I still hate that scene!
I have that bluray, it does improve greatly to the dvd! I really disliked NSNA when I saw its first release in the cinema, but have warmed to it a lot lately, particularly for the cast!
That scene never bothered me, though as a rule, I'd rather see Bond play chemin de fer.
In some aspects it's ahead of it's time as video games became even more elebaroate and popular in the ensuing decades.
Best thing in the film IMO. Not a favourite...
Yes. Apart from the fight a great sequence. And Barry's score.....hubba hubba!!!!
Need to get my Bond fix. Getting an upgraded television set is a perfect excuse to go thru all the Bond films again, just to see how they look on my new screen.
This Blu-ray is beautiful.
Roger Moore is a suave as one can be.
Tee-Hee's clothes really pop on my new set.
Damn this is great!
Arnold Williams is my favorite actor!
My favorite "Bond, James Bond" in the series is this one.
And one of my favorite retorts:
“…. names is for tombstones…..”
YES!
Sometimes I do that if I'm in a hurry.
Roger Moore has the greatest facial expressions of all time.
The bedding on Bond's bed matches his curtains.
Interesting interior decorating.
Bond's facial expression there reminds me of Ward Cleaver.
I wonder if that had to do with the Lowery restoration?
That reminds that here in Chile, a TV channel has been running a Bond film marathon since June. I don't remember the last time that happened; probably in the mid-nineties. They're up to AVTAK now; they also aired CR'67 but apparently they're going to exclude NSNA. Anyway, I've noticed the audio downmix on several of these broadcasts appears to be wrong, as it seems to be biased toward the center channel. As aired on TV, the AVTAK gunbarrel had very little brass on it, but prominent triangle and woodwinds. Also, there was no trace of California Girls as Bond snowboarded his way down the mountain. Some people would call that an improvement, I'm sure!
Very odd. There are some substantial differences or Lucas like changes in the audio tracks, notably in THUNDERBALL. Certain sound FX had been added to the later stereo DTS versions. For instance, as Largo enters the SPECTRE meeting his footsteps had been muffled and a new FX sound of the door opening added.
This isn't a new practice really. For SUPERMAN THE MOVIE's original DVD release, some new audio FX were added. Reeve does the iconic \S/ reveal and we get the sound of his shirt buttons ripping off. That was never in the original film.
I'd love to see a scene like this again in a future Bond film.
Superb viewing of LALD.
Back to being my fave Roger.
I also remember the ending of the film Sorcerer, where a gunshot sound was inserted for the Blu-Ray mix. Rather unnecessary if you ask me.
In many ways it's tampering with the original artists' intentions.
The cat's meow in the PTS of DAF that segues into the titles really bothers me in the DTS stereo version. Completely different recording. Certainly not true to the original release prints.
I've said that for ages! Loved the villain/henchman turning up for a final reel showdown.
They missed a trick in SP by not having that awesome Hinx fight at the end!
An updated television is a superb excuse to rewatch the Bonds.
Dr Tynan looks quite a bit like my barber from my youth.
Wint and Kidd are great. I love these desert scenes. The Blu-ray looks considerably different than the Lowery restored DVD version. Different color timing?
I've seen this in the cinema in 35mm two or three times years ago.
I love the bits at Tiffany's flat.
Connery had great chemistry with Jill St John.
I still maintain that Bond's physique is the result of his off screen mourning of Tracy. This film picks up as Bond has gotten a hold of himself and is ready to get back into action.
As I get older Connery doesn't look too bad here, and his tailoring compliments him.
It also helps that Felix is portrayed as middle aged.
I like Norman Burton's rapport with Connery.
As a kid I loved that this particulr film had several "Bond in peril" moments.
