Friday 5 March 2004
The Friday Night Movie
The World Is Not Enough
8.30pm - 11.15pm | Seven
(M) Action (1999)

Pierce Brosnan leaps into action as James Bond in the 19th film of the long-running adventure series. A high-tech terrorist with a most unusual and deadly characteristic - a brain-lodged bullet that renders him totally impervious to pain - launches a devious scheme to seize control of the global oil supply. Agent 007 is the world's only hope. Bond's mission is fraught with danger and beauty - in the form of a sultry oil heiress and a stunning nuclear scientist - as he faces off against a ruthless enemy who'll stop at nothing to accomplish his devastating plan.

Pierce Brosnan, Robert Carlyle, Sophie Marceau, Denise Richards, Judi Dench, John Cleese

***

This one only aired six months ago, on August 24th 2003. It premiered about a year prior to that.

Been a few years since GoldenEye got a run, though.

I think Channel 10 still has the rights to the Connery Bonds. But at least Channel 7 takes care of my espionage fix with 'Alias' and '24', so they can't be all that bad.
And like [dark] said, it's been a while since 'Goldeneye'.
Ah well, no matter.

Yes channel ten still owns the rights to: Dr No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, Casino Royale, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Diamonds Are Forever, Live And Let Die, The Man With The Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, Mooranker, For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy, Never Say Never Again, A View To A Kill, The Living Daylights and Licence To Kill. Nothing has changed in recent years except we haven't seen OHMSS or TLD for yonks.

And Dr. No, too.

I guess even us Aussies don't want to watch Mr. Lazenby. :)

I'm sure I've seen the Moore and Dalton Bonds on Channel 7 in recent years.

Speaking of The Simple Life, I must say that Channel 7 bugs me every time they fill the bottom quarter of the screen with those annoying banners advertising other shows on the network. It usually pops up when Jack Bauer has a gun to his head or when Sidney Bristow has just been given some shocking information.
Kinda' dilutes the tension, know what I mean?

While they have some good shows, Channel Seven are up themselves. They steal ideas and concepts from TEN and Nine :::

And does anyone else hate all the self promotion on the channels over the last year or two? People dancing around with some music constatnly repeating the channel's number? ARGH.

TEN have owned the rights to the first 16 Bond films [and the two unofficial ones] going back to at least 2000.

TEN had their first run of 00 Heaven in September 2000.

Be afraid....be very afraid!

Au contraire!

The film scored the highest rating of any movie on TV this week in TV Guide, tied only with The Fugitive...

THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH (1999)
8.30pm, Seven (M) ****
From the white-water thrills of the opening sequence, to the fabulous locations, overblown stunts, thumping soundtrack and snappy pay-offs, this Bond movie will leave you both shaken and stirred. Pierce Brosnan comes within a bat's squeak of toppling Sean Connery, the greatest Bond of all.

And does anyone else hate all the self promotion on the channels over the last year or two?

I truly despise the glut of reality TV that the networks are inflicting upon us, but geez, am I absolutely sick of Australian / American Idol stuff on TEN. If I see Guy Sebastian advertised as a performer on any more of TEN's shows, one more Simpsons advertisement somehow cashing in on Australian Idol or one more Australian Idol-related news story on TEN's news, I will scream bloody murder!

Its those huge advertisments that have really put me off channel 7 now. While most channels have them (and ive always put up with em) the new ones on channel 7 are a third of the entire screen. Its ridiculous. And they always pop up at the most inappropriate times.
BTW, Guy Sebastion looks like a bush pig, its embarrising that he won that show.

yes the reviewers these days generally have no idea what they're talking about and give all the Brosnan films four or five stars and give the classic Bond films two or three if they're lucky. :)

Now that's generous. :)

Personally, I think The World Is Not Enough is incredibly underrated, so when I saw it get **** this week, I thought that was nice.

If memory serves me correctly, it also scored Movie-of-the-Week in TV Week when it premiered back in 2002.

From memory, the old guy rated the following...

Licence To Kill - ****

that's very interesting because our reviewer gave LTK ** from memory, when it was shown a few months ago.:)

Although I hate Aussie Idol, I heard Paulini(?) sing when she did a concert up here, and my god, hearing her live, she should have won it. Instead of that talentless git. He also had a concert up here a few nights ago, and he has become so stuck up and self indulged. ugh.

I really liked Paulini actually. If it was a simple talent contest she wouldve won it easliy.
Im really enjoying American idol as well, but only cos of Simon Cowell. The man is a legend.
