And you may send up shot. Dead. ;)
Big chance of getting shot..
This guy has haunted me since I was a runt.
About Roger playing a clown... I've always felt bad for Bond in those scenes: threatened by the ones he wanted to save. Luckily, Octopussy knew how crooked Kamal Khan could be. I love the look he gives to that soldier patting him when he defuses the bomb:
Soldier: "Hey, man, great! You saved us!"*shoulder pat**shoulder pat*
Bond [to himself]: "No thanks to you, imbecile..."
It's easy to sympathize with Bond and hate on that clumsy General - man, a professional jewel smuggler has stolen your wallet for the lulz 8-} - here, but the greatest thing about this scene is that the two parts are quite right: Bond wanted to save Europe, and the soldiers were only doing their job.
What do you recommend? Zombie? Vampire?
The double tap is very effective in the culling of zombies.
Whatever, you know. Whatever. :))
One celebrity death that we all wanted!
Yes, they can be very creepy indeed. I know of a lot of people who don't like them at the best of times!
tries to scare me, ..... he'll be the one leaving scared ! ;-)
That said, the rise of clowns as horror objects seems to arise from the fact that circuses are no longer as popular as they used to be. Going to the circus used to be something everyone did. Inside the big tent, clowns were a natural part of a garish, brightly colored world, the comic relief endlessly bumbling around the strong men and acrobats and animals. Viewed from a distance inside the circus or theater, clowns did not look scary to the mass audience. On film and TV they do, thanks to the power of the close-up and the more realistic demands of those media. With the decline of the circus, the clown has been deprived of his natural habit and has become unusual, unaccountable, and scary.
That's a great analysis.
A Clown that kills by clogging the arteries
When OCTOPUSSY is eventually remade they'll have to make OO7 infiltrate a a Star Wars convention to defuse the bomb.
It certainly is.
But I'm not really quick to scare about things in general, and certainly not over those irrational sorts of things. I'm one of those guys who goes into a haunted maze and tries to prank or screw around with the people dressed up to scare everyone else, tugging on their costumes and prodding or poking at them where they're trying to hide at in the shadows. If I sense that one is going to try and grab me, I grab at them first or get down low so that they look foolish; it all becomes an amusing game and it's entertaining to be a nuisance. And that's essentially my whole mood when it comes to things people find scary: I laugh or make light of it as so much of it is a joke. I can't believe people get so scared over haunted mazes and things of that ilk that they know aren't real or full of dangerous people. My mind has the logical response of realizing, "None of this is real and has zero capacity to hurt me to any extent whatsoever," so I just get on with it and enjoy myself.
If a killer clown and myself crossed paths, there's a heavy chance that one of us (take a guess who) would be walking away from the encounter with heavy scarring. And I don't mean the emotional kind of scarring, either.
