  • What a fine film they crafted on such a tiny budget. It's forever in my top 10.

  • From Gassy Man seven years ago on AJB: "The barn "fight" is just the final physical representation of her giving over. She no longer just sees Bond as just another knuckle dragger. The music and comic build up to their kiss is supposed to clarify t…

  • Wow, a lot of people seem to forget that Pussy wasn't helpless in that scene (Like Patricia in TB), and she did start kissing him back. Hey look, if I were to do this scene today I'd extend the fight a little but & have them locked in a hold wit…
  • CrabKey wrote: » @Revelator Arguably every woman in a Bond film gives off subtle hints of her interest in Bond. I think we see that in PG before the barn scene. From their first meeting, they seem to enjoy each other's company. Pussy seems …
  • This thread is filled with excellent comments!! IMO, Goldfinger is the transitional movie solidly bringing Bond into the 60's from the previous two that had 50's vibes clinging hard to them. The soldiers falling so fast as the Flying Circus gas was…
  • Revelator wrote: » The barn scene in GF is, as they say nowadays, "problematic." If it took place in 2023 Pussy could have had Bond charged with sexual assault. Looking at the scene, one could possibly argue (without wishing to defend it) that it'…

  • New Bond movies can have CGI semi-visible penetration shots and still be rated PG-13 since they aren't real. Brave new bloody world.
  • mtm wrote: » I think there's little that's actually properly sexy in Bond films. I'd say Bond and Solange in Bond's villa in CR feel like they're generating some actual heat, and maybe Bond and Lucia in Spectre funnily enough start to feel quite s…
