Hey, you don't hear me talking in that way about your wife!
oh.. erm... that may have been wishfull thinking...
I find her very attractive and well played, but the dialogue isn't up to par.

PTS: SP - I do love the Jupiter 16 sequence and Barry's music but SP's, whilst not being amazing, is damn solid.
Title Track: YOLT - I never used to be a big fan of it when I was younger, preferring the bombast of GF. But it keeps on getting so much better with age, so many layers, one of Barry's best.
Title Credits: YOLT - Again one of the best. The volcanoes and the oriental motif blended together beautifully along with the song.
Main Villain: YOLT - Classic (if a bit laughable) Blofeld v a totally botched Blofeld.
Main Bond Girl: SP - Kissy is anonymous (despite being crucial in preventing WW3). Madeline has a staggering figure and can converse intelligent as well.
Henchman: SP - Not even worth discussing. Hans is a piss poor Poundstretcher Red Grant.
Overall Plot: YOLT - Preposterous? Yes. Logical? Probably not. But at least it's not a shambles.
Dialogue: SP - YOLT is pretty perfunctory here. 'Kill Bond. NOW!!' the only thing that really stands out.
Score: YOLT - Just f**k off with this category.
Settings: SP - I love Japan but I'd have to let the key European locations of SP and the crater shade this one.
Action: YOLT - Little Nellie and the final crater are damn good but the Hinx fight enough to sneak this despite SP's other rather average action sequences.
Humour: SP - I'm honestly struggling to think of one great one liner in YOLT.
Cinematography: YOLT - As others have said both films are strong in this category but for all your efforts in the PTS Sam the rooftop shot simply cannot be beaten.
Benign Bizarre: YOLT - Blofeld with a tank of piranhas. Job done.
Suspense: YOLT - Bond dressed as an astronaut heading to the launchpad to avert WW3. Although about 80% of the suspense in this scene is down to Barry.
Minor Characters: SP - Mr White and Lucia do enough here although Tiger is a solid ally.
Glamour: SP - A Japanese fishing village v thrashing super cars past the Vatican?
Bond Performance: SP - Sean sitting in a rocking chair with his slippers on? No thanks. Dan's weakest performance but he's still pretty damn good.
YOLT: 9
SP: 9
SP scrapes a draw!!!
Signs of light at the end of the tunnel. Don't get too complacent though. The next one will be a massacre.
As Q sets up Little Nellie, Tiger says, "What is this Bond-san? I have much curiosity! This can only be for children Bond-san! Take my helicopter."
Hardly immortal, but at least amusing.

YOLT wins, 14-4.
Surely you're not arguing that YOLT has poor cinematography? Watch it again.
That's true, so it might balance out, or tip in YOLT's favor.
Ties are also far more common than they were previously (including on my own scorecard).
Are we using proportional representation here or first past the post?
Total points vs. total points, which I think is proportional.

I'm exactly the same as many other here - OHMSS is my third favourite Bond film - Spectre not even in the top half and I was even torn over giving Craig the Bond Performance! I've really grown to like Lazenby's work in OHMSS. What a wonderful film OHMSS is.

Landslide victory for Majesty's.
I would give SP a tied vote fro PTS and Main Bond girl. But other than that, the lone George Lazenby entry is hard to beat.

Interesting. I thought for the most part he was on point. Reaching for the cool of Connery and often achieving it. I thought the detached nature was more in line with him growing as an agent toward the man we saw in Dr No. If only the plot would let him get on with it! Instead of dragging his off handed coolness down into the depths of half-baked foster-brother motivations.
