All I have to say to that blathering is that we've been there, done that with "OHMSS". Thank you.
Actually I happen to not have watched OHMSS, so I can somewhat accept the story. I just went in knowning it's supposed to be a "prequel", and everything sort of made sense to me.

Go watch OHMSS. It's pretty good.

The new Bond guy was on Parky (talkshow thing) and he said the love story was needed as character development cause it makes Bond into who he is in the future therefore he had to fall in love and get his heart broken yadda yadda.

pish to me.


Except that anyone who knows Bond already knows he falls in love again in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, gets married, resigns from MI6, his wife is killed, and he comes back.
I just watched the movie tonight and I've got to say that the whole love story interlude was just weird, and to be honest rather jarring. OHMSS worked much better in that regard, in my opinion. Having the love-lost story told twice does kind of weaken it.

yeah, i felt it started very strong and then lost some of that momentum with the romance and some of the fluff in the middle :/

not that I only want non stop action, I don't mind plot building but the way they did it wasn't too great for me.

"Romance and fluff" are fine, they just felt a tad contrived in the script to me.

Oh, and the Aston Martin crash was stupid. Just crash the thing, don't turn on antigravity.

I have to disagree with this. It was a total snoozathon.

I felt that was the point. The escape to the love story was supposed to feel surreal because it was too good to be true. Also, I felt that the love story worked a lot better here than OHMSS. For one I can understand Bond falling in love with the girl because who isn't in love with Eva Green? Two he loses her in quite a different way here. He had chance to save her (maybe if he had payed more attention to the details, to realize what was going on in the first place, or maybe if he had checked to see if the money had arrived, or maybe if the last action sequence played out a little differently), instead of just a drive-by shooting, and oops she's dead, so sorry.

Are you really complaining about one of the most sedated car sequences in recent Bond memory, by saying it was over the top? Plus the crash only lasted for like 5 seconds.

Yes, I am. If you're going to go for a somewhat realistic car chase, why drive it up an invisible 18 in ramp and flip it 7 times when it doesn't even hit anything to provoke such a response? If the whole thing's ridiculous, that's one thing. A car randomly taking flight at the end of a realistic chase is much more jarring.

Dalton was a decent enough Bond...He was better than Roger "Disco Stu" Moore, at any rate. The Living Daylights is good film. Licence to Kill...not so much.

Lazenby is another underrated Bond.


I agree dalton was far better than Roger 8)

Hi there. For a land-based or online casino to become popular and start bringing income to its owner, they must promote it. To do this, they use various marketing tools. Probably SEO https://seo-casino.com/ is the primary tool. By the way, it is important to think over and properly set up SEO for any industry, regardless of direction. Do you agree?

On the radio this morning they were saying He wants the next bond to feature an openly gay Bond, with gay love scenes, and what I can only imagine will be "Bond guys". I don't think this will fly. I sure don't want to see a gay bond.

I doubt it would happen, but wow... that would effectively kill the franchise, methinks.

See!?! This is what happens when you make Bond a blonde! :D


Clearly, we didn't know about the insanity that would come in the late teens of the 21st century back then. Those were the days. Sigh.

I for one will not be satisfied until James Bond is a communist, gender-fluid, half-black/half Asian/Pacific Islander community organizer/social worker who fights against the systemic racism of inner city food deserts.
