You can hear it at the beginning of this clip:
<font color=blue size=7><b>'Curing' a lesbian in GF was not an insult to the gay community.</b></font>
That'll buy her an even bigger slap!
:-L
Also, thesis is correct I think, there was no harm done
thesis 57: If you had not read the novel? I guess it was never an issue to begin with?
Did Connery ever say 'there, I've cured you'? I don't believe even the film comes out and says it (though its evident). Unless someone looked REAL hard into it, which who better than a lesbian, they'd see it. But I don't think its insulting. Its in the vein of a joke. Bond gets who he wants.
Agree.
Then again, Pussy didn't exactly voluntarily "switch sides" either.
Agree with the thesis.
Yes it was. I think the reason for her becoming a lesbian (which is explained in the last few lines of the book) was because she was abused by her father as a child. Have you not read GF?
No one has answered my question yet: Does the book actually say that Pussy was 'cured'?
<font color=blue size=7><b>The LTK reference to Bond's marriage was a stroke of genius.</b></font>
"He was married once...but it was a long time ago".
Thesis 58: Agree.
I have, twice.
You mean, aside from the LALD plotlines (including the note "He disagreed with something that ate him") and the Krest character from THR?
I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a 'stroke of genius'- considering we've seen references to his marriage/wife before (TSWLM, FYEO). However, the way it was executed is very good- so yes, I'll agree with this thesis.
Agree. Dalton played it excellently.
