For Christmas I bought my dad and I the complete James Bond Box Set (up to that time at least, it doesn't have Quantum of Solace in it, which I still haven't seen yet). Dad and I used to rent various Bond movies and we'd always enjoy watching when (I think) TNT would do their Bond marathons. So, like with Saturday Night Live, I'm a fan because of that, but also because these are some of the craziest, coolest, most over the top and gadget filled movies of all time and, of course, I love all that stuff.
So, without further ado, let's jump into From Russia With Love, the 2nd Bond movie, and, of course, stars Sean Connery.
*I don't think I've ever seen this one all the way through.
*You can't take Bond out that easily...oh, okay.
*Can't go wrong with projecting the credits onto hot lady parts.
*Looks fantastic on this TV.
*Hehe, I like the gigantic chess board so people in the crowd can watch. I can't think of a more boring "sport" to watch.
*Message in the water glass, nice way to get your point across. Oh man, I thought he'd have to throw the game, but he put that nerd DOWN! WHAT WHAT!
*Blofeld? Yup. How can such an evil man have such an adorable kitty? Unfortunately, the cat is almost always looking at the camera, very unprofessional.
*Nice, they referenced the previous movie.
*Why HELLO there sun bathing beauty. Yeah, you better take off your skirt and blouse to massage that guy on the blanket outside.
*Dude, SPECTRE has their own island? Jealous.
*Hot damn, I love a good "walking through a training/testing area" shot and no one does it better than Bond filmmakers.
*Woah, that is a tiny towel Mr. Badguy. He totally passes the "get punched in the gut with brass knuckles by a creepy old woman" test.
*Blondy likes Klebb's riding crop me thinks.
*We still haven't seen the real Bond yet. Ah, there he is, making out with a hottie in a boat.
*I think Moneypenny would do a threeway with James and any other broad.
*Q!!! With the super briefcase (gun, knife, sniper rifle, gold, tear gas and a secret way of opening). Score!
*Invoking the title! By writing it on a picture no less.
*Who's this goober in a mustache and beret?
*They're trying to bug him, but you can't fool James Bond. Fools.
*Wowzers, who is THAT? Woman in orange. The 60s were awesome!
*Underground river? Super cool.
*Gypsy's know how to party. Gypsy cat fight? Hahaha, awesome.
*Who's the blonde guy with the mustache? Why are people attacking the gypsies? I should be paying better attention.
*Bond asks to stop the girl fight? WHAT? Oh, he gets to decide, so I assume he boned them both. Yup.
*"Oh James will you make love to me every day in England?" "All day and all night."
*Aw, the funny guy died.
*No, James, that's the bad guy!
*See, I think Bond should be a much more formidable foe.
*Heh, he's gonna get gassed!
*Cool train fight.
*You can't take the real Bond out like you did in the beginning you punk!
*Klebb's back-up plan was to kill Bond with a shoe-knife? Seriously?
*James Bond is a literer AND he did that stupid wave.

Dude, FRWL is in our (because I am a hive mind with my wife) Top 3 Bond films. It's awesome. And it's astoundingly like the book, although actually better in some ways (probably the only film that can claim that title).
ReplyDeleteIf it were being made now, John Rhys Davies would totally have to play Kerem Bay. Believe it.
It really does have all the classic Bond elements: cool gadgets, training montage, beautiful women, fights, the whole nine.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of the books, but I'm hoping to in the near future. I would have bought a whole box set of them at the flea market, but the guy saw me looking at them and said "Those aren't movies or CDs, they're BOOKS" like I couldn't figure that out on my own. Jerk.
