Okay, on vacation here in Arizona, and I felt the need to share that we bought Dr. No on DVD to watch... Dadisall bowed out, but Sonisall and I watched it (first time ever for him, first time in 30 years for me), and we *loved* it. Man, I totally forgot what a great flick that was!!! As a kid I remember hating Weisman as the villain because he was a white guy, but now I remember from the novel I read later that he was only half Chinese. It was like discovering gold or something! And the digitally cleaned-up image was astounding!
Well, I'm all sunburnt here while Sonisall is watching Last Starfighter, so I'll say bye for now. Wish I brought Dollhouse here; I still haven't seen the original pilot...

I love AZ in the Summer! Smells like...a survival test!
Actually, it's not bad at all (but 2 hrs of easy rock-climbing with no sunscreen & no shirt will take its burn-baby-burn toll).
But, on topic, the character of Bond was MOST like that in the novels in the movie Dr. No, IMO. Sure, From Russia With Love was excellent, and Goldfinger... but there was a raw, unrefined quality about Dr. No that I find I savour.
My all-time favourites are still Thunderball & Tomorrow Never Dies, though.

Chrisisall: "Do you expect me use suncream?"
Sonisall: "No, Mr Isall, I expect you to burn!"
Hope you all have a good time.
I've never read any of the novels but I did read one of the novellas that was called Licence Revoked, I think. I remember coz he drove the same model Saab that was our family car at the time.
I pretty much like all the Bond movies to varying degrees except Die Another Day which is too silly even for Bond. Plus it has the worst theme tune by Madonna and it features Madonna
I've always liked You Only Live Twice. Ninjas, Japanese girls, the big satellite dish, the huge set 'underneath' and japanese girls. What's not to like?
This would be followed by Tomorrow Never Dies, Goldfinger and Thunderball.
Fave Bond girl?
Michelle Yeoh and Carole Bouquet for first choices.

Quote:I may be too sensitive here, but Kissy died & Bond didn't seem to care too much... other than that, good show.

Ah the lovely Mrs. Peel.....
On Her Majesty's Secret Service is one of the few Bond movies I've never seen. I know, I'm so ashamed!
