Watched The Third Man, a proto-Bond film featuring Bernard Lee in a credited role as Sgt. Paine and both Robert Brown and Geoffrey Keen as two uncredited MPs (it took me a minute before I paused the DVD and went, "Holy crap, is that Geoffrey Keen?").

Watched The Living Daylights tonight. Always good.

I caught the last half of Moonraker on tv tonight.

Just saw Octopussy on Encore -- I know it has quite a fan base around here, but I was appalled. The plot had promise, but the action scenes completely took me out of the movie. The spectators watching "tennis"? The killer yo-yo? The tarzan yell? The stunt work was decent, but also looked incredibly pasted in - I could not suspend my disbelief that Roger Moore's Bond could doing anything more strenuous than walk across a room ... slowly.

For me, OP is a perfect example of how the Bond series lost its way. It made me like QoS even more -- risk taking, exciting, attempting something new. QoS isn't perfect, but it makes me appreciate how far we've come in the past 25 years.

Okay, finished The Living Daylights on to Licence to Kill and then I have 6 more to go before Quantum of Solace

[Jaws0178]

5 more, I confess. I kind of cheated.

I caught the latter half of A View to a Kill on ITV4 on sunday afternoon. Oh dear, what a horrible film. Me and my friends just sat and had a laughing fit over Max Zorin.

Oh come on!

"HA HA - HURRRRRR!!!!!!!!!"

It's so bloody amusing!

[danielcraigisjamesbond007]

Licence to Kill was on today. One of the weaker Bond films, IMO. As an example:

"Don't you know? Iguanas are a girls best friend?"
"Why don't you wait until you're asked?" "Then why don't you ask me?"


BTW, I didn't see the "flaming hand" during the truck scenes. Does anyone else know where it is? Or IF it is???

[DamnCoffee]

Moonraker, Brilliant film!

[Cruiserweight]

Moonraker

[ChrissBond007]

Goldfinger today, a brilliant movie as always.

[The Dove]

It's all cropped and Icky.

Hmm...is it possible you have a defective copy, Harkers? My UE of Goldeneye is just fine..

[DamnCoffee]

Casino Royale, I'm watching it now. Since my Quantum of Solace copy HOPEFULLY should be coming tomorrow.

[Conlazmoodalbrocra]

Watched Tomorrow Never Dies yesterday. Will watch The World Is Not Enough in a minute.

Quantum of Solace on DVD.


Good Bond film, very brave, very short, some great scenes and Daniel Craig is excellent. The action scenes still irk me, Too choppy. The final battle reminds me of DAD. Other than that, no complaints, but it wasn't as magnificent as CR, a very hard act to follow. Roll on Bond 23 - Daniel Craig's "Thunderball"...

[HH007]

"Thunderball"

I'll be watching "Quantum of Solace" tonight.

Quantum Of Solace on Monday night - rapidly going off this one!!!

[danielcraigisjamesbond007]

From Russia With Love and Goldfinger were on last night. I stayed up to watch both of them.

[Mr. Somerset]

The new NSNA dvd w/ the hilarious Rubin/Kersh audio commentary. Kersh was great! He seemed all over the place when ever Rubin asked specific questions.

I'm liking NSNA more and more now. Always did, though.

I think I'll buy a pair of blue denim overalls like Sean's....after I find a baby blue terrycloth jumpsuit!

[danielcraigisjamesbond007]

I'm doing a Casino Royale/Quantum of Solace double feature. I hope to have my review of Quantum of Solace up later tonight...

Quantum of Solace.

[sharpshooter]

Just watched Diamonds Are Forever. I love it. I take it for what it is, not what people want it to be. It's just a whole lot of fun. I think Connery's comic book Bond outing out-does most Moore attempts.
