Some 70s Bond would hit the spot right about now. LIVE AND LET DIE perhaps.

Ah, when wouldn't it?

Still, the Bond movie I most feel like watching right now is SKYFALL. I don't think they ought to announce new Bond films (or indeed new films) until they're just days away from opening in cinemas. Seriously. I mean, so they've announced SKYFALL now - well, big deal. Great. What are we supposed to do about it now? How can we spend money on it? After all, my local supermarket doesn't announce special offers it's going to be running in a year's time.

Yes, it is a bit "We've got a product coming out in a years time, hear are a list of things we can't tell you about it while we smile coyly", isn't it?

Wouldn't that have been a press conference? "The title for 'Bond and M 7' is SKYFALL. Oh, and by the by, it's out Thursday". Drop everything!

No year long Project X, top secret, coy guess game, "we're doing this to let you know that we're not going to let you know what is we're doing", faux-important drip feeds. Just "We have something new. We think you'll like it. Here it is. Enjoy".

A View To A Kill. I've warmed to this flick over the years.

Agreed. It's a fun film. You know, I rewatched For Your Eyes Only the other night, and really didn't find it as bad as I did before. There's some beautiful moments in it. Actually, to tell you the truth, Roger Moore never had a bad Bond film. Even with A View To A Kill. I love Christopher Walken, I love Grace Jones, John Barrys soundtrack is amazing. Moore is charming in it, despite looking like a leather sofa. Nah, I have to say that A View To A Kill is a great film in it's own right.

I am glad to hear it, Harkers. I got to love FYEO more and more throughout my 20's and I still love it. It's up there with FRWL for me.

Watched DAF with Mrs. Twelve the other night (and was pleasantly surprised she agreed to it!), so I could definitely keep the witty Mankiewicz atmosphere up with some glorious LALD. Have to wait 'til tomorrow, though, I'm about to hit the pillow.

[The Dove]

In the mood for a double feature of A View To A Kill and Quantum Of Solace tonight...

[DaveBond21]

Just watched Thunderball and so now I'm in the mood for YOLT

That should make a great double feature.

Live and Let Die

[Jaws0178]

I've been having fun with my UE DVD's and watching them chronologically (sorry, three dollar word I'll owe the cat) and listening to the commentary by John Cork (because as an abducted Southerner (($6.00 blast!)) I miss the Southern accent) so I'll be finishing up From Russia with Love and moving on to Goldfinger tonight.

[AMC Hornet]

I cheated and watched DAF and TMWTGG early this year.

But that still leaves NSNA and OHMSS for December.

I may have to watch QoS to tide me over until the end of next week.

[The Dove]

Just finished watching The World Is Not Enough and am now starting For Your Eyes Only..

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Octopussy. Just bought the 2 disc UE for $4.99 at Target today. From watching the Brolin screentest extras I'm very glad he didn't get the part.

Yep, we definitely dodged a bullet there.

[Secret Treaties]

It's been a long time since I've watched Never Say Never Again. Watching Thunderball again recently wet my appetite for it.

Indeed.

[killkenny kid]

I have Quantum of Solace playing right now.

[DominicGreene]

Goldeneye. I'm feeling the Russian vibe today after listening to Shostakovich's second Waltz a million times

[The Dove]

Gonna do a double feature of Dr.No and The Man With The Golden Gun tonight..

[killkenny kid]

Time for GoldenEye.

Interesting double-bill, Dove - the only two Bond films not to feature a helicopter at any point.

(I don't expect that that was your reason - just a nugget from a self-professed trivia geek)

I gave in and watched NSNA and OHMSS yesterday. That leaves me DAD, and I suppose I can always watch DAF and TMWTGG again!

For my annual champagne & caviar party I think I'll show Where Eagles Dare, now that I have a widescreen monitor that will do it justice.

ITV4 has been showing the Connery Bond films since last Thursday, usually repeating one of them the following day. Thus, I watched DN and FRWL on Friday, GF last night. GF is being repeated later today, with TB at 9.00 pm. And so on.

I'm very much enjoying them, it goes without saying, as a Connery Bond fan. But I thought to myself "suppose I had been watching these films in the 1960s, having been a fan of the Fleming books alone?" And I can see that, for all their hard edges, some Fleming purists might have found even the Connery films a bit too much of a send up. According to Andrew Lycett's biography of Ian Fleming, the author didn't really appreciate the film Bond ("Dreadful, simply dreadful", was his reaction to Dr No, allegedly!).

That said, you have to wonder - if filmed as Fleming had written, would the series had lasted as long? Would the character of Bond have been as popular? Indeed, could they have been filmed at all, without a more "adult" certification being applied by the censors? But that's for another thread!

OHMSS

[Janus Assassin]

They have another marathon on Universal HD today. I wish that 12 years ago, when I first got into Bond, that they'd play the movies more often then that they do now. They used to run the 15 Days of 007 on TBS, but that was pretty much it.
