Let's get it back on track please.
Thanks.
Glad he put the FYEO gunbarrel at no.2. Great stuff, as always.
But the only realisitc one is sir Roger's. You can't shoot with only one hand! ;)
I did, and he admitted I was right. He said he did it with one hand for the benifit of the audience, and that the gun is not really loaded... ;)
New Thunderball review up.
Although I do disagree with many of his views (I don't think Thunderball is that bad), I am pleased to see that, like me, he doesn't feel obliged to lather the Connery films with excessive praise and look back at them with rose-tint glasses, or to put four or five of his films in our top ten lists (in fact, we both put only one Connery film in our top tens, FRWL for me and GF for Calvin). Good on him!
I'm not sure how many Connery films are in my top ten (I think only one or two actually) but I think they're popular not because people look back on them with rose tinted glasses, but because they were great, groundbreaking, classic films.
I do agree however when he says Thunderball gets an easy pass amongst Bond fans and critics alike. That would be my conclution too, although I don't think its even close to being among the worst in the series.
Absolootely. The first three were the best consecutive three ever so far.
I don't feel obliged and I am wearing no rose tinted specs and I don't shower them with excessive praise. I do, however, recognize excellent films when I see them.
Not that I have any problem with people who don't prefer Connery's films. Difference of opinions are welcome. I just don't think many users "love" the Connery films out of a sense of duty. I just think they're damn good films is why so many Bond fans hold them in such high regard.
May have had a cease and desist from EON. They're a bit funny like that.
