    Phew! Well I survived!
    Yes, what a mess, but there are small pleasures to be had, David Niven, a bevy of delectable women, and Burt Bacharachs music! It be a long time though before I watch it again!
    Bank Holiday weekend still ongoing so I will endeavour to pick a proper Bond to watch ASAP!

    Thanks for that writeup on CR'67 @Mathis1.

    As I've always said, any film that opens with "Les Beatles" can't be all bad. While the film is a mess, it's best to view it (IMO, anyway) in the context of the mod-style of the mid 1960s and not over think it. As you stated, the women are beautiful (I really love Joanna Pettet BTW) and Bacharach's score is one of my all-time favorites, official series or not.

    And while the jokes are a bit hit or miss, there are some really good ones.

    You can't shoot me! I have a very low threshold of death. My doctor says I can't have bullets enter my body at any time.

    ... of course, this means an angry letter to the Times!

    Hey, what an enormous bed! /
    The German army was very large in those days.

    My battery needs recharging. /
    Maybe your head needs examining. /
    No, I had that examined last week.

    Cheers @Dwayne
    Yes, it has its moments, but I watched 'The Making of' Doc on the tape, and it seems if they stuck with the original idea of just having Joe McGrath direct, we may not have got the bloated mess we got!

    The only film I saw on 4 different continents in cinema's, after it's release. The start of a new era now closed:

    Casino Royale.

    The nineteen fifties spy thriller start, including the odd camera angles. And the first bit of the brutal toilet fight.
    'shme, we barely got to know eachother'

    and he knows he's toast.

    And into muddy central africa. Pity we see so little of Uganda. Bond should go to Africa under the equator more often.

    DO you beleive in God, mr Le Chiffre?

    No, I believe in a reasonable rate of return.

    Sensible man.

    MI6 definately has a professionalism problem in this film.

    The chase on the building site, especially on the cranes, is not only visually stunning with the sea in the background, but also still takes my breath away.

    A, a furious M. 'Christ I miss the cold war"

    A sentiment I start to share these days.

    Bond breaking into M's appartment. She tells him not to do it again, but that hasn't helped much, has it.

    arrogance and self-awareness seldom go hand in hand. I've used that line often enough.

    Hallo, are you going to take this or make me wait? Arrogance and er.... car safety also have a problem.

    'He's in the Bahama's', typical Purvis and Wade, as if Bond is the only thing on M's mind. pity that. Bond's in the Bahama's would've done the trick.

    Dimitrios is really having a shitty evening. Needs to go to Miami whilst his wife is off with the man who's after him.

    Poor girl, over heated and left alone. Bond is really a brute here.

    Has anyone ever gone to those bodyworks expositions? I've once seen it advertised, but never went in. I don't find it attractive at all.
