I think you forgot that the mod team got rid of "Mr. Divinyls" :))
Whether or not Richardo becomes a rare Octopussy-like species appears to be very much up in the air.
He has a fair point. Just ask Alan Pardew.
It seems Richardo might be a slightly more intelligent class of troll to what we are used to.
Love it. This has been the basis of the "too hysterical" argument from many people but I couldn't help but find myself loving every second of it. Perhaps it's because this was actually the review of his that I watched last overall, so I was used to him in much, much less potent doses by that point?

The choice for number 1 may surprise you.

He does blame John Barry though for the lyrics to TMWTGG when of course they were written by Don Black.
@WillyGalore, I think he blamed Barry for the inclusion of the slide whistle in that scene, and not the actual lyrics to the opening song of the film, but I could have interpreted his words incorrectly.
My main issues with the films lay in sections of the franchse and not particular moments per se. I think DAF is a big slap in the face to fans after the landmark events of OHMSS that are left completely unfulfilled, and I have never been one for the Moore era's brand of camp, where the tension is often ruined by a badly timed one-liner or scene included for comedic affect that ruins any sense of danger present up to that point. In addition, Bond is also a celebrity figure, seemingly known by everyone and their proverbial dog, and goes about his missions a bit too overtly for a secret agent conducting clandestine business. While I find the films enjoyable to an extent, their departure from the great mood of the early 60s films and that of OHMSS are a bit disappointing, and I can therefore never hold them to the level of films like DN, FRWL, TB, TLD, LTK, CR, QoS, or Skyfall which all grasped the true essence of Bond as a character, and made him interesting to study like never before.
He says "This must have been a very lazy time for John Barry. The lyrics to the title song aren't oozing with intelligence"
It's odd that, despite being incredibly over the top by film standards, the video games are so beloved. I guess it's just that different rules apply when you have to constantly be shooting things.
Anyway, I'm sure he reads this thread so I'll point out something I've been meaning to, his crits of the score of GF which he says can be a bit wearing. Just point out, this is probably a digital thing, where the sound looses texture and feeling. It may actually be better to watch GF on tape, would you believe, to avoid that and get the full oompf of it. All that DVD/Blu-Ray remastering only goes so far when the sound suffers (and on the pts of TSWLM, the Bond 77 theme has the hi-hat too loud, it's annoying and distracting). Same with the Beatles' stuff, really original vinyl makes it sound great esp The White Album, before you even get to the whole mono v stereo argument.
"Hate" is a rather strong word.
All well and good gallivanting around town on the tube Mr Dyson but isn't it about time you out some more vids up old chap?
