With the approach of Skyfall I'm starting with Dr. No and watching them all, in order. I did watch Tomorrow never Dies recently. I had not seen it in over 10 years and enjoyed it far more than I had remembered.

Just spend an evening with Moonraker, what silly fun.

I've watched a handful of Bond films in the past couple weeks. From Russia With Love, Tomorrow Never Dies, Die Another Day, Casino Royale, and Quantum of Solace. A bit of a random lot, I suppose, but it had been a while since I watched any Bond films at all. Last summer I cleared through all of the Moore films and that might very well be the last time I watched any Bond. I'm debating on continuing or holding out. I plan on getting the Blu Ray set in September so I might watch them all in order for the very first time (I've never done the chronological marathon before) as I await Skyfall.

My 10 Year old Nephew and i watched the Spy Who Loved Me today
His most pertinent question the entire movie was why did all the bad guys army wear orange the look like they're wearing prison clothes (referring to the current prison trend of dressing today's convicts in Orange Scrubs)
His other remark was one of incredulity at the 1970's computer printers to which he exclaimed "a typewriter?!? REALLY?!?"

Watched Thunderball last night...now to continue things with You Only Live Twice...

I know this is probably considered blasphemy in the Bond world, but I can not rememeber the last time I watched a Bond movie or felt the need to watch one. I have all 22 of them and recently I have not felt the urge to pop one in and watch it. It'll come back eventually when I watch one movie per day leading up to Skyfall.

For some reason I need to elaborate on my previous post. Tried watching Octopussy a few days back.. took me 4 days and I still haven't finished watching it. I've seen it a bunch of times but I'm still having a hard time getting into a Bond movie watching mood. Don't get me wrong I'm as stoked for Skyfall as anyone else on here. But today both TWINE and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull were both on at the same time.. I watched the latter.

Think I'll go with Dr. No today I listened to the soundtrack during my walk around the neighborhood and it got me in the mood to watch the film.

Felt like watching Moonraker for the 50th time, but got sidetracked by Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, then Wrong is Right.

Could've been worse - I might have watched Moonraker for the 50th time.

You should give it a new chance.

I was in the mood for Thunderball yesterday evening, after not having seen it for centuries. I must say that though I did enjoy it, I remembered something even better.

What I especially don't like is the way the picture is "fast forwarded" during action scenes. This is very awkward: I can see what they want to achive ("this is an action scene so this has to be fast"), but in the end the result is very poor.

That was my intention.

In replying to the challenge of ranking Moore's films by themselves, I recently posted that, although FYEO is the better film overall, I rank MR higher simply because it is so enjoyably bonkers. When I want something unreservedly OTT, MR is the film I reach for (when I tire of spectacle and want something taut and seminal (NPI-I), then I go for FRWL).

Unfortunately, whenever I try to give AVTAK a 'new chance' it never works.
