I'll bet you did!!! :))
He's from Scotland, my cat's from Scotland. He was 31 when he did DR NO, I also used to be 31.
Recently I discovered he and I both have a pet peeve when it comes to employers and paychecks.
I put up a HUGE fuss last week as payday came and went and my paycheck was a no show. I contacted the Dept. of labor, and discussed the matter with a lawyer friend of mine. I left that company with no notice saying "Never again".
I'd like to think Connery would approve.
I ended up quickly accepting a better paying job with better working conditions,
Just finished my first week there and it's time to celebrate with
GOLDFINGER.
Bond puts Goldfinger in his place as he cheats Mr. Simmons. This scene is the embodiment of Connery cool.
Bond and Jill Masterson. A great scene.
Bond is pretty upset at finding Jill. I love Connery's voice as he speaks on the phone. He's trying to contain his emotion. He carries this into the M scene. I love the bit as M reminds 007 to remain professional. Connery straightens himself. Wonderful.
We also briefly see snow toward the start of YOLT. But I believe GF is the only the time we see Connery with snow in the backdrop.
That's right! Good catch.
I love his 5'o clock shadow. One can catch Connery's wedding band covered up in the plane scenes.
I prefer to see the wires as originally seen in the cinemas circa 1964.
Removing the wires, IMO doesn't make the plane (in this case) look any less like a model.
fest at their local cinema and are trying to act like Cagney....or Robinson.........or Bogie.
This was for the Blu-ray releases? That's interesting if it was because I recall on the special features for The Man with the Golden Gun either Barbara Broccoli or Michael G. Wilson mentioned they were asked if they wanted the crew in the dressing room mirror digitally removed and they said no. They didn't want to "Lucas" anything while restoring the films. If they did digitally remove the strings on the plane in GF that kind of goes against that sentiment.
Bond's getting his a$s kicked.
It wasn't until my folks bought a VHS player that I got to enjoy these classics in their entirety.
Remains at the top for me.
I dunno ! The pace does really slacken, and its just not interesting whats happening! It picks up fabulously forxthe ending!
I actually think this golden gun is just as cool as Scaramangas!
The wires on the Vulcan landing in TB were also removed by Lowery. I suppose it's not as extreme as Lucasing the crew's mirror reflection in TMWTGG.
For me one is pure Fleming, albeit updated, and the other strives to be Fleming yet ends up John Gardner. Actually I'd say the first two Craig's capture Fleming and from SF on embody Gardner.
Agreed. CR and QOS are one era. A tone I wished to hell they'd kept.
Perhaps this tone will come back in the future if indeed James Bond does return...
Ah, dont say that mate! Course he be back, though have never been as anxious as I am now for the new era! Some of the names been thrown around have my eyes rolling so much I nearly gave meslf a seizure!
It just seems a lack of enthusiasm on the producers part. But to be fair none of the actors rolled out so far could hope to fill Craig’s shoes. So they're in an unenviable position so far as getting the series up and running again.
A damn good Flemingesque script would be the first hurdle though. And of course the return of David Arnold 😉
I do hope a return to Fleming is in order. The Craig era started extremely Fleming-esque, and IMO ending up more John Gardner.
I believe Barbara did say that they've scraped the bottom as far as Fleming material goes. Slim pickings, now. Doesn't mean an original story couldn't embody the Fleming tone, though.
MOONRAKER
I envy everyone in the UK seeing these on the big screen in 4K.
Suddenly in the mood for Sir Roger.
Love the Binder titles here.
A rather brief M scene, really. I love the Bond is eager to leave and head for beautiful California and Q stops to give him the dart gun.
