Good piece

That’s a great piece and this

What seems obvious to me, though, is no one was helping him during the shoot or the edit (they won’t even let him finish a fucking sentence onscreen). It feels like everyone was so focused on what he wasn’t (Sean Connery) that they didn’t take the time to figure out what he was (a cool-looking dude with genuine presence and great physicality).

Cut because zing, but incredibly otm. Like he was Not Sean Connery and this in and of itself did a huge number on him. It’s ridiculous when you see how cartoonish the role got with later actors. If he’d been the third Bond, would we remember him better? Feel like his working reputation did for him too.

This might be peak Shakey.

Anyway, I remember seeing OHMSS when I was 11-13 after having seen at least Dr. No, From Russia with Love, and Goldfinger. Probably Thunderball as well. Sad to say I was just devastated at the end. It seemed soooooo real, lol.

it's bad

Because it's on ITV1 and there's likely a commercial break every 10 minutes?

the commercials are a blessed relief from how bad it is

mark s, Sunday, 17 July 2022 17:40 (one year ago) link

mark s, Sunday, 17 July 2022 17:40 (one year ago) link

Just been looking at a really good book called The Music of James Bond, by Jon Burlingame.

Do u see?

L.H.O.O.Q. Jones (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 17 July 2022 18:45 (one year ago) link

Octopussy and Never Say Never Again are best ones, mainly because you get Roger Moore telling a snake to "hiss off" and Sean Connery wearing a ridiculous toupee, apart from when he's on the motorbike.

I just learned quite a bit about the 1967 Casino Royale, which is almost nobody’s idea of the best James Bond movie, but still.
