Live And Let Die

Nothing livens up a meeting more than someone dying.

A lot of people make fun of the theme song but I really like it. Then again Paul McCartney is my favorite Beatle. I know it's not something that someone should admit but I did. So there.

A digital watch, really Bond. I guess that we are in the Seventies after all.

I didn't know that M stood for "Morning wake up call."

Some people watch Bond films and want to be a spy. I watch Bond films and want to be a barista.

Why the hell does Bond have metal chickens on his kitchen wall? I guess that Harry Saltzman must have gotten a product placement deal with HomeGoods or something.

A monogrammed dressing gown? Sad. Just sad.

That Pan Am jet was on the screen longer than Pan Am the series was on ABC.

Yet another Leiter. This time it's David Hedison, the first actor to play the part twice. That is a minor miracle in a way.

For me anyway, a Bond film that takes place in America is a bit of a disappointment. I live in America and I see it every day. It's not that I don't like looking at America, it's just that the Bond films usually take place in parts of the world that most of us will never see.

"What's a Texas Cadillac doing in New York City?" "I don't know. Let's see what it's got under the hood."

Those have to be the ugliest cars in any film ever.

Dr. Quinn, Black Magic Woman

George Martin jazzed up the "James Bond Theme" without making it sound cheesy. That's not an easy thing to do.

007 tarot cards? That's a little too meta even for me.

Tee Hee!

That bendy dude is kind of creepy.

Now Bond has moved on to Bollinger. He must have finished off all the Dom Perignon.

Snakes. I hate snakes.

Doesn't Bond know better than to mess with a lady's wig? That's a good way to get yourself seriously injured.

A leisure suit with a wife beater? Wow. Just wow?

Hello Quarrel, Jr. Hope you don't end up like your dad.

So, if you have sex with Bond it causes you to lose your mojo? Fair trade?

Is there any vehicle that Bond doesn't destroy?

In the 70s it wasn't enough for Bond to get into a fight or be in some kind of peril, there had to be some kind of chase and/or an overly elaborate stunt.

I guess it would have been far too obvious if Mrs Bell had been called "Mrs Webb."

Tee Hee!

I've been to an alligator farm. It really wasn't by choice. It's what you do in Florida.

I'm in a boat chase!

It's not a 1970s movie without a redneck sheriff.

In Diamonds are Forever everyone seems to make a big deal about the flub. You know, the one with the Mach 1. Yet no one ever mentions the fact that in Live and Let Die 007 is seen in the boat with the inboard motor before he makes the switch. Why is that?

That's not how you pole dance.

Ah, the old buzz saw watch gag. Gotta love a classic.

I guess you could say that it was a farewell to arm.

Tee Hee!
