Mostly not a Hollywood carreer, that is for sure. And I am not sure if that is not a blessing in disguise?
<font color=blue size=7><b>Because of MR, the Bond producers are now a bit cautious to put space back in focus of the Bond films.</b></font>

Actually, "You're Only a Virgin Twice" would have been a better title.
Agree. I just do not see Bond being in orbit again for a long time if ever again?
don't think caution is the operative word, think unnecessary would be better for this one. Unable to concur with thesis this time around
Very true, @Baltimore_007. Films built around outer space adventure was clearly the zeitgeist of the time and as Moonraker had the most space-related title it was chosen to cash in on the Star Wars craze. As you say, this was a late 1970s phenomenon of jumping on the space film bandwagon and is no longer relevant in 2014 (Gravity aside).
Furthermore, in the wake of "Gravity", anything that does not live up to the physical accuracy of that film will be seen as trashy or cheap.
That said I fear it will be difficult in bettering Rogers trip in outerspace where he inflated a spacestation and rogered the CIA so well she wanted to have one more around the world. ;)
<font color=blue size=7><b>Non-Barry Bond scores are usually too abundant in their films.</b></font>
Apologies DD but i am not sure i understand the thesis?
I Agree with this thesis.
I don't think that the current thesis is necessarily true for the older films. There are plenty of "quiet" moments in DN, LALD and TSWLM. In fact, TSWLM seems to be lacking in it's big battle finale without some musical accompaniment. So I will have to disagree overall but I can see how people would think this of the Arnold scored films.
Aha! Cheers DD! In that case I whole heartedly agree with thesis 300!
<font color=blue size=7><b>For the sake of plausibility, Bond should not have targeted two nuclear subs to destroy each other in TSWLM.</b></font>
He neither had the time or the choice other than to blow each other up.
Had he re-programmed the missiles to splash into the ocean, the Captains of both submarines may well have reverted back to the original coordinates.
Disagree: From the standpoint of a sub would be in terms of the story a far bigger target than trying for a mid air missile collision?
