    He certainly will visit my house. I have been a goooooood boy! :D

    Jason, I think Beatles will make his move to flee your abode once he spots your slight stiffness that'll mysteriously come on just as he enters the door.
  • Nice choices, @4Ever Bonded. Great thread, everybody. If I may have a date, please: on the First Day AFTER Christmas (the 26th, that is,) BeatlesSansEarmuffs goes to town...

    @BeatlesSansEarmuffs you and I both know that you're going to be too loaded up on eggnog the day after the holiday to post here.

    Actually, I've never cared much for egg nog. While I may (or may not) be feeling the effects of various substances on 12/26, egg nog probably won't be one of them.

    Sing along, everybody: "On the first day after Christmas, 0Brady gave to me ... some egg nog I politely refused."

    Snowfall is great, @4everBonded, thanks for that! Laugh of the day!

    So glad you all enjoyed my posts for the 4th. The "Snowfall" clip was my favorite, too. It cracked me up. I thought it was well done and I wanted it to be longer. ;)

    Ok, just for you then ... ;) I have never heard anybody say they actually like it before.
    Hmmm. It seems I cannot actually find it in a clip from the film; only covers (mostly in German) ...

    Good background info on this song here: http://www.bond-o-rama.dk/en/ohmss-1969-nina-xmas-song/

    Well here is this one. Hope you enjoy. Feel free to post your own.

    Well let me say that I for one love that song. Thank you for posting that video. Really beautiful and from my favourite Bond film, OHMSS.

    Glad to see the love for Hal David and Nina here. I love "Do You Know How Christmas Trees Are Grown" too, so I'll post the best version (in audio quality) that I've found here:

  • Some great posts on here, I am not a fan of Christmas though very entertaining posts.

    Agreed. Some great posts on here. Particularly enjoy the memories that people are sharing. I have 2 dates booked and my posts are just ready and waiting for my dates to come around.

    Seasons greetings everyone.

    I thought I'd start things off fairly light with what I think is a hilarious and loving tribute to the great Sir Rog.



    Here is something that I'm sure everyone here has seen before, but I love seeing Pierce shower Sean with praise on this video. It always puts a smile on my face and you can clearly see how much he adores the one and only Mr. Connery.



    My final Christmas treat for you all today is a rare but wonderful cigarette commercial with Tim. I adore this, but it does always pain me to think that we never saw him develop the role further in a 3rd movie. He is full on Bond in this piece and I bloody love it!



    I hope you enjoyed my videos.

    What on earth is the first video?

    Wow, that Dalton commercial is killer! I don't know what I'd want more, more Lazenby or more Dalton.

    More good stuff. So it was Connery who got it into Brosnan s head that he should ask for more money!

    What on earth is the first video?

    It's a scene from the British satirical 1980s/1990s latex puppet show Spitting Image.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spitting_Image

    No doubt this scene was inspired by this quote of Sir Roger's:

    "My acting range has always been something between the two extremes of 'raises left eyebrow' and 'raises right eyebrow.'"

    Actually, come to think of it, I recall reading in a Spitting Image annual at my aunt's house a cartoon of Sir Roger where he was saying: "My acting is so wooden I have Dutch Elm Disease."

    That's probably how he would have looked in Bond 17. Note the hair is a substantial improvement over LTK.

    The Dracula cut must have been out of fashion by then! :P

    That Brosnan clip warmed my heart. I do love that man, and he left a great Bondian legacy too imho.

    He certainly did. I always got the impression getting to do the Bond films really meant a lot to Pierce. He truly cares about the role, Sean and the entire legacy.

    Really loving this thread. Thanks for letting me be a part of it.
    I'd love to take the 25th if it's still going but I don't want to be greedy and rob anyone else of the opportunity.

    Catching up now. I loved the Dalton commercial! I had never seen that one.

    I love Brosnan, always have, always will. And, man, has he aged beautifully! Oh yes.

    I love Pierce's tribute to Sean; one of my favorites to rewatch. Total, utter class from a very sweet man. I think he represents the little children in all of us that still remains in awe of Sean's Bond films whenever we pop them in.
