Thanks for that, hadn't seen it yet.

[grungy-gonads 54]

Moonraker last night and what fun that was.

Cheesy at times perhaps but very good fun.

[pie-eater 207]

I have been watching a few Bonds recently too.

 

The amazing sets that Ken Adam came up with along with John Barry's music were such a very important part of forming the Bond success.

[klingon 10]

I think you are right pie-eater.

 

Moonraker probably gets a worse rap than it should.

 

It doesn't set out to be serious. They tried to go more serious next up with For Your Eyes Only. Which was boring.

[grungy-gonads 54]

I agree with that FYEO was just not as entertaining.

That place in Greece looks spectacular though.

 

Octopussy last night. 'Sit!' and 'Tarzan' aside (cringeworthy), another very entertaining.

GG-ess though was repulsed at JiJi Moore snogging with the chicks. 'Kimochi warui' apparently.

He was getting on.

 

Up next, OAP Bond A View to a Kill!

[brit-gob 9]

The reviews of Skyfall seems to be overwhelmingly totemo positive.

Really looking forward to seeing it.

[grungy-gonads 54]

Me too.

 

A View to a Kill. Walken is a good baddy, Moore rather... old.

Some of the stunt bits are hilarious - it's as if they didn't even try bothering hiding that Bond is a stuntman in some scenes.

 

Next, The Living Daylights

[pie-eater 207]

Yes, it almost makes me question the validity of the 'A View To A Kill' documentary.

Yes, it almost makes me question the validity of the 'A View To A Kill' documentary.

 

 

Gnarly, Rog!

 

[ILoveZao 8]

I think I like The Living Daylights best.

 

A good antidote after Roger Moore time

[oblivion 5]

Friend back home saw it yesterday says it is great.

 

For the next one I want Blofeld back. I believe the legal stuff has gone and they have rights for Blofeld. Patrick Steward to play him. Or perhaps Michael Myers.

[grungy-gonads 54]

Make it (not) so!

 

As much as I like Patrick Steward as Picard.

I think Mike Myers and Dr Evil kind of made the old style Blofeld not possible, and doesn't seem to fit with Daniel Craig style.

[Slippery Jim 65]

I like this description in the FT: Daniel Craig returns in the main role, looking more than ever like a garden gnome who, having overdone it a little in the 1990s, spent the following decade in the gym by way of compensation.

[grungy-gonads 54]

So you eventually found the one slightly negative review then, DiGriz!

 

[Slippery Jim 65]

If you must know, I needed to drop the kids off in the pool and was short reading material so...

[grungy-gonads 54]

he he

[Slippery Jim 65]

Quite a load of crap, really (not the movie, haven't seen yet)

[grungy-gonads 54]

The Living Daylights today.

I really like that movie.

A very good mix I think, really good Bond movie.

 

Good to see John Barry in there at the end he was so important to the success of Bond.

 

Next up License To Kill.
