    James Stock interviews Mr Howe.
    I love "I didn't know that".

    Bond's quiche actually looks pretty good.
    I love that Roger Moore's Bond eats eggs. Very Fleming.

    Bond takes too long to fix the phone connections and all that other sh*t. Stacey so would've been up for it.
    Oh, well.

    He wanted to have the connection working in case M called to find out if she was just coming.

    I really like the City Hall sequence, though the elevator shaft fire is kind of a generic scenario to put Bond in. I think Roger Moore really sells this scene..........and in a controversial opinion, so does Tanya Roberts.

    What used to be my least favorite "Bond, James Bond" in the series...........until TWINE.........then SPECTRE. I'm undecided on NTTD's "Bond, James Bond".


    I do like the second time he says the line to Stacey in the fire truck.

    I really don't mind the fire truck chase. I quite like it, though the bit with the draw bridge seems like comic padding.

    Love the Golden Gate Bridge sequence.
    Bond does all this action wearing slip on dress shoes that don't fall off.

    Time for one of my all time favorite movies...........

    A VIEW TO A KILL.

    I really should be going to bed and sleeping, for tomorrow is work.
    That wouldn't stop James Bond, so it won't stop me.

    I'm at the stables/chateau section.
    I reset my television for the heck of it and now the picture is in factory preset mode.

    I like Allison Doody. I can't help think of Pierce Brosnan's iconic line whenever I see her and it cracks me up.

    Bond is giving Tibbett sh*t.

    Apparently when Alison worked on 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' Spielberg greeted her every morning wirh "Howdy Doody!"

    Roger was perfect for that kind of humor.

    =))
    In a scene deleted from the AVTAK script and never shot, Bob Conley asked Zorin to go see Conley's debut in stand up comedy, a hidden passion for the oil businessman. Zorin attended the show and laughed at everything right from the start, which got the audience in a good mood and ensured Conley's act was a hit. Unbeknownst to Zorin, Conley was counting on this all along. An investigative Bond, now undercover as James Brown, was meant to be in the audience that day. The idea was that Bond, having witnessed Zorin's funny bone, would later use it against him, by dressing up as a clown at the top of the Golden Gate Bridge, doing pratfalls, getting pies thrown to the face, and walking around in big shoes, which would cause Zorin to laugh uncontrollably and fall to his death. This was an obvious reference to Octopussy, and screenwriter Richard Maibaum hoped to include similar "clown gags" in future films. When asked if this kind of humor diverted too much from Fleming, he replied "who cares it's funny LOLZ."

    OCTOPUSSY turns 40 next week.

    I can't wait that long so I'm watching it now.

    I picked up a spare copy recently and I'm popping it in...............

    "Filler up, please".

    The film had been out at least a week when I saw it, in June of 83.
    School had just gotten out and I had caught an ABC airing of DR NO
     one night as I was allowed to stay up for it.
    From then on I was hooked on Bond and HAD to see this newest movie.

    I remember the lines were too long that Friday night to see it, same with JEDI
    , so we opted to catch a matinee the next day.
    Very bright sunny day it was. There was a cardboard cutout of Roger and Maud Adams in the lobby.
    I love Robert Brown's M. Pretty much dismissed in the role, sadly.
    I thought he was a great replacement for Lee.

    Orlov is over the top.

    I love the auction sequence.

    Now there is a lady.................

    There ARE a lot of cute girls in this scene. Holy crap. The girl in the pink with the hat is adorable.

    Vijay's rendition of the Bond theme sounds slightly out of tune to me.

    I used to think that phone Bond briefly picks up in his hotel room looked like an iron. At least on my old VHS copy it did.
    I thought maybe Bond ironed out his dinner slacks before meeting Kamal Khan in the casino.


    Okay, here we go............

    one of my favorite "Bond, James Bond" deliveries in the series.

    One element I always liked about this film was that Bond uses his PPK then his P5 quite a lot.

    Vijay think's Bond's wisecracks to Q are funny.

    @ToTheRight : OP was the first Bond movie that I saw in theaters - after watching most of the others on TV, so I have a soft spot for it. Or, just maybe, I have a soft spot for Maud Adams:

    In any case, enjoy the rest of the film.

    Haha! Maud Adams is one of my fave Moore era leading ladies @Dwayne. This was my 2nd Bond in the theaters, MOONRAKER was my first.
