    Nice. Now there are just two more Bond films to connect Silva to.

    Which are those?

    The SPECTRE ethos, I mean. Everything connected. But I guess that's already done.
    He features in SKYFALL. He has a color moniker, that's the QUANTUM connection. And his image is in SPECTRE. You piled on with the Rauls Royce.
    There must be some twister of an explanation for his connection with CASINO ROYALE. So one film remains.
    Unless it's just accepted from the SPECTRE suggestions. That's easy, too.

    Ah yes, very good. The Raul Royce Silver Shadow is in AVTAK, and belongs to Cubby.

    About half an hour into DAF. Quite enjoying it so far. More so than I have done before. What it lacks in style it makes up for in wit.

    DAF has its moments, but collectively I can’t foresee it moving up past the bottom tier in my ranking.

    Great to look at but an annoying bint. I much prefer Jill St. John.

    Let's see if I have time for a Bond before I get interrupted by life........

    A VIEW TO A KILL

    MGM/Logo- newer edition (wish the DVDs would have the old logos)

    Disclaimer When I was a kid and saw this in the cinema- the trailer preceding was the Clint Eastwood western Pale Rider ( which I assumed was a sequel to the No Name films) I was only a kid, though. The older bearded Clint reminded me of the older NSNA Sean..........anyway the film theaters didn't have a bunch of brouhaha like commercials, theater logos etc then.
    It went straight from the trailers to the film.........the disclaimer, I thought was part of a trailer so without preparation and buildup........BOOM

    the gunabrrel! I love the traditional music. Love John Barry

    First Roger close up............brought a big smile to my face as a kid.......like seeing an old relative for the first time in years.......a grandfather or something.........

    He looks bad ass in the white snow suit

    Titles.....

    when I first saw this, I hadn't yet seen every film including LALD, so I thought it was odd to have a rock/ pop tune for Bond. We bought the 45 single and listened to it daily.

    What a great last theme for Roger. I remember going to my Dad's friends ( they were in a band) to watch cable television, and keeping it on MTV just to see the music video over again. It was a HUGE hit then and the Eiffel Tower clips made me excited for this one.

    At work today on the radio Sam Smith kept playing...his new song not Bond. If ANY theme was to deserve an Oscar, Duran Duran should have been nominated and won, IMO.....especially over Writings on The Wall. Oh well.

    2000th post!

    What great chords......fun to jam to............I should actually pick out some of the other music from this film on guitar (like Snow Job)

    Almost an hour and a half into TLD and I am happy; it should end here. I know that I will be bored senseless beginning in the Afghani jail all the way through Kirachi.

    I love the desert scenes myself, jailbreak, the sunrise shot....Tim and Kara riding and the music.

    Eifel Tower......
    perhaps we should add this butterfly to our collection. No?

    Bond sticks to the topic at hand.

    Chateau section.
    Zorin, Scarpine, and Bond all pretty much have 1985 conservative business haircuts. Plenty of length, no clippers and done by scissors most likely (I used to have a roommate who was a barber).
    MacNee looks just like he did on The Avengers in 1965: old school.
    Actually, Roger's hair is similar to his Saint length, but looks sprayed in place rather than pomade or oil.

    Today a shaved head or the Danny in SF look is where it's at.

    Bond spying on Stacey...............in those HUGE sunglasses.

    Bond meets Stacey scene...........she's not buying his charm.

    May Day seduction. I think when she turns him on his back he should have done his OOHHROOOOOHHH sound.

    Steeplechase.

    I'd love to see more scenes like this in the Craig era. Bond in danger while participating socially in some sports activity with the main villain.

    Barry music here is the same chord progression as Bond 77, though in f minor.

    Cubby's Rolls.

    Bond is very MacGyver here. No gadgets using his environment surroundings to escape.

    I love Zorin.

    There IS one obstacle..........................



    picking out Barry's cue here............................


    GOT IT!
    It's G minor, E minor then C minor. Played several times later in the film

    I dig Roger's style while hanging out with Chuck Lee. I should find a jacket like that. Might I add, once again, Roger's hair looks pretty good here. About the length I picture Fleming's Bond to have .

    Mr O'Rourke. In the village I live in, it seems the Mr O'Rourke look is very popular. Rugged. Big mustache.

    Bond underwater.

    Bond eff's up...............and gets trapped.

    He does seem to be in danger here....................

    Diffuse it..............

    Zorin has some great facial expressions............

    if I ever have someone thrown into a water pump blade, I'll need to remember to make those facial expressions.
