Do you understand the definition of the word appreciation? Allow me to provide a visual aid (pay special attention to entry number 1):
You go into threads meant to celebrate and person or thing, and comment with the equivalent of, "This sucks" in a juvenile and unsubstantial fashion in every one. Each post of yours I've read has done this and nothing else. It's fine that you don't enjoy Lazenby or Craig, or Star Wars, as I just read, but to come into appreciation threads and post something negative just to impress yourself and annoy everyone else is very misguided, I must say. You're obviously self-aware about what you're doing, so this is my attempt at pointing out why it's not advisable behavior on a discussion forum.
Chill out some good people on here, I train have done for twenty years and have trained many people in various disciplines. One thing training should teach anyone is self control, respect other people then they will respect you.
Nice work replying to something from two days ago; it's lost relevance. Good luck with the lifting, and whatever you're compensating for by doing it. You also have the slang for steroids (misspelled) in your name, so I'd watch the shrinkage it'll cause you (has caused you) as you pump away.
Personally ,back on topic,IMO i dont think OHMSS would have suited Connery,it was a 1 of a kind Bond film and needed a 1 of a kind Bond,and Lazenby was the right Bond at the right time,which is why it is still hanging on to #1 on my Bond film list ATM.
One of my favorite lines of the series comes when Tracy explains to Bond that people only play it safe when they want to live, and he replies, "Please, stay alive!" Perfect.
And as I said, his final scene is immaculate. He perfectly recreates on screen a human moment of catatonic shock brought on by the fast and tragic moment. He makes Bond look like he's having a delirious, out of body experience where he's lost any sense of reality as Tracy's corpse goes limp in his arms.
Of course, it was more down to earth and back to what the series began with, which Sean was excited by more. OHMSS is the best Young Bond film not directed by Young, as it has all the elements a classic needs, but played up with even more themes and motifs that make it a Greek tragedy Bond film, with a lot of mythological imagery and connections to it, from Blofeld comparing Tracy to Helen of Troy, the evocation of goddesses and Olympus by the Angels of Death and Piz Gloria, and even some of the character names like Olympe that recall the old myths.
It's jam-packed with very artful and enriching material. During a recent review and analysis I did, I wrote nearly 50 single-spaced pages on it because there's so much there to absorb, ponder and appreciate.
As this is my #1 Bond film (but always battling for that spot with FRWL & CR,no other film comes close to these 3) i would love to ready that ,Brady,me olde pal !
I love the exchange in the barn:
"sorry about the accommodation Contessa"
"We should have rung ahead and booked"
Also, their big scene when Bond proposes is lovely and genuinely moving.
However, I do think that Laz sometimes felt "carried". Some of his early scenes with Rigg for example like at the bullfight (probably one of his worst). He comes off as a bit amateurish in the early part of the film.
You say that but I know of someone in another online fan group who can't stand her.
Like Blofeld, they can go to Hell.
I wasn't there for 2 days, so what? slanging my name now? it's a 10 years old alias man...chillout. My balls are fine thanks for asking! I don't think time on the internet can affect relevancy but whatever, cheerio.
Totally disagree. George was a great Bond, did not embarrass the franchise like the guy in the 1970's did.
Also a cool guy, hearing him on the EON documentary and reading/listening to interviews shows he had some Bond qualities that came naturally to him. I met him two years ago and he was very friendly and a riot. Told me and my buddy a story of when Kevin McClory asked him to dinner to pitch a TB remake. It ended on bad terms when McClory accused George of hitting on his girlfriend. I asked him if it was true and he said no she was coming onto him. Hilarious. We salute you George!
Very very true.
I bet they just cast her because she was in the Avengers though
Great story.
