And DAF follows the self-reference of OHMSS in the dialogue in M's office. "We do function in your abscence" and all of that. Of course, it's done with a lot more plausible deniability than the OHMSS line.

Diamonds Are Forever is my favorite Connery Bond. It's a better written film than at least the three preceding Connery films. DAF has a very solid through line in the plotting. It moves from A to B to C to D in a logical way pretty much to the en…

While the soundtrack albums are relevant to the discussion, I am wondering how many of us thought primarily of them rather than the music as presented in the films.... But I love Moonraker and had it somewhere in the top ten. Happy to see this fi…

a-ha may have been immature at the time, but I do prefer the version they did for their 1988 album....

TLD was my number one. Everybody always remembers the synthy elements, but as great as that stuff is, the score is also filled with classic, more traditional Bond music as well. On my last watch it was these that grabbed my attention more than the a…

Batman and Robin is great! It's wonderful campy fun and it's hilarious--intentionally so. They clearly set out to make a highly entertaining, tongue-in-cheek comic book movie, and for the life of me I can't see why anyone thinks they failed. I al…

I was gonna mention 007,but didn't want to sound more negative than I actually am! That cue has never done it for me. It's a great piece to be sure, be it more of a sweeping, romantic western type thing in my head. It worked sometimes better than at…

I'm fine with it as it is, but I just realized Silva's involvement in Spectre would have made more intuitive sense if they'd followed the original plan of M being Blofeld's man on the inside. Silva's general activities align well with Spectre's a…

This is about ten places too high for me. FRWL, and, to a lesser extent, GF, are to me proto-Barry scores. He really gets started on Thunderball. FRWL still has some corny use of the original Bond theme recording, not to mention full-scale repurp…

At the end of the day, Vesper didn't give Bond the five million because it added drama for the audience. Same reason Le Chiffre manufactured a car accident that could have killed two people he mistakenly thought he needed alive. Or why he said Mathi…

I had GF at 20. There's stuff I love in it, like Into Miami and most of what's playing when Oddjob is onscreen, but I'm the rare weirdo that is not a fan of the theme song, which is used quite a lot in the film, sort of replacing the amount of overu…
