20130828:
The problem with watching Bond movies in succession is that they follow the same formula and only contain subtle differences. Thus, while watching a new one every now and then might be fun, watching them in succession makes them increasingly boring to watch.
Unlike On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) which had a likable Bond girl, this movie had Tiffany Case who I found excessively incompetent and annoying.
[Part of James Bond]
Instant Comments:
This movie didn't start with the gun barrel opening.
Yeah! Sean Connery
"Yes, there is. There's something I'd like you to get off your chest." [...] "Speak up darling, I can't hear you."
I find it hard to believe Blofeld would actually be dead.
Aww. "Would you settle for a tulip?" "Yes."
How cheesy. "Say, you've played this game before." and "You handle those cubes like a monkey handles coconuts." She's annoying. Sexy, but annoying.
Hehehe. "I didn't know there was a pool down there."
Ha. Nice try at the leaning cops, but no good.
Yay! Gymnasts! Deadly gymnasts.
How does he successfully hold down two woman?
Haha. Wow. Bar-Bar-Bar.
AH HA! "Your problems are all behind you now."
What a misunderstanding.
Hahahahaha. She shoots and the recoil eventually sends her over.
Wint and Kidd are on the cruise ship. I guess that means there'll be a fight.
Bond will return in Live and Let Die (1973).
