Ole 007 again

Of all the Bond movies, I gotta admit there is one movie I've not watched yet.

Blame it on all the negative publicity, but somehow I never got around to it, until today when I rented it. And I must say, its one of the best bond movies I've ever watched and not a single gadget too.

And yes, there is an Aston Martin DB8 in a none shooting/exploding role but in an awesome introductory scene, just listen to that engine growl, ahhhhhh heaven!

And then there was Diana Rigg, another Bond girl to drool over. She manages to look innocent,defiant, smart, sassy all at once. This one kicked some ass too. No surprise she made a name for herself as Emma Peel in The Avengers (remember that one?)

But coming back to the controversy, George Lazenby. Maybe it was his Aussie accent. Maybe it was his model looks. Maybe it was the too tight shirts. But honestly I can't quite figure out what went wrong. Proabably just being in the right place at the wrong time. He's pretty good, probably better than Timolty Dalton in some ways and not as campy as Roger Moore and heckuva lot closer to the book Bond. Yes, I've read all the books, in fact I have the whole collection.

This is also the only chapter in the series where Bond gets married. Watch it to find out more. I'd give this movie the big thumbs up.


PS: Ka..t I'm still working on your meme, never thought it'd would be that hard!!!

PPS: DYK that Joanna Lumley was a Bond Girl in this movie and that she went on to be Emma Peel also later in the series?
