Bond, Ranked Bond: The Cold War’s Horniest Spy
Stray Thoughts/Spoilers
- I sing “🎵 For British Eyes Only” from Arrested Development on a weekly basis
- RIP Bernard Lee :(
- Flowers on Tracy’s grave!
- “I trust you had a pleasant FRIGHT,” says unnamed Blofeld-esque villain in his best Cryptkeeper impersonation
- Carole Bouquet! I remember her from That Obscure Object of Desire
- Bouquet gives an authentic chuckle to Bond’s joke, “I love a drive in the countryside.”
- Bill Conti’s score is dopey
- Bibi says someone other than Bond is beautiful and he calls her fickle
- The sound design is so cartoonish! It undermines their “realistic Bond” efforts
- Kicking the car off the cliff was ice cold
- I love the fake underwater footage — uncanny valley / perfume ad vibes
- I wanted the parrot to have secrets :(
- The rock climbing scene is tense!
- Again, ensemble for finale helps pacing tremendously
- Melina’s so cool
- I never get tired of watching dummies fall from high places. Almost serene
- Bond throwing the Maguffin off the cliff!
- Parrot flirting with Margaret Thatcher surrogate. This is hell
