Moonraker

Just give him a monkey and shoot him into space. Oh wait, this is not the early Seventies and this is not a cartoon.

I actually like this film. Starting with The Spy Who Loved Me they got on quite a roll.

On a sad note this is Bernard Lee's final appearance as M. I think that him and Judi Dench actually "got" the part. It's usually a small part but it is a very important one. M's relationship with Bond is very complicated and simple at the same time.

And now, on with the film.

Houston, we have a problem.

Never trust a guy in a rugby helmet.

Please welcome, Shirley Bassey! The only thing missing from The Spy Who Loved Me was a Shirley Bassey song.

Why would the US loan a shuttle to the British?

Remember the days when villains had weird beards?

Zeus, Apollo, sit!

I'm a big Michael Lonsdale fan going back to The Day of the Jackal. He was also brilliant in his cameo in Ronin. He would have made a great Master back in the day. He was a very laid back villain. Those can often be the most scary ones.

You spin me right round baby, right round like a record baby.

Jane! Stop this crazy thing!

I would so totally hurl.

Press the button all you want, the elevator won't come any faster.

So basically, if you want to stop something just shoot the instrument panel.

Hello, I'm Bond. James Bond.

007 cameras--you must get them in the stores for Christmas.

Quite a few pheasants were harmed in the making of this film.

That was pretty badass when Bond shot that guy in the tree.

Venini Glass; at least it wasn't Vinvocci.

If the gondola has an engine then why do you need the dude with the pole?

It was Commander Bond in the laboratory with the poison.

No one warned me about a ninja in a glass shop.

So, now all of a sudden he's Garth Brooks. Then explain to me why he is dressed like Johnny Cash.

Are you my mummy?

Remember the Concorde? It's how our grandparents used to get around in the late Twentieth Century. Good old supersonic flight.

Kitty!

Land Shark!

Looks like someone stitched a clown suit on Jaws.

7-Up; The Uncola.

Jaws found a friend. Awww.

The man with no name whose name is Bond, James Bond.

Boat chase!

Let's see David Copperfield go over a waterfall in a speedboat. Seriously. And take David Blaine with him.

An hour and a half into the film and Bond finally goes into space.

Take your protein pill and put your rugby helmet on.

Let me get this straight; a Frenchman is trying to create a perfect race. No offense but, what!?!

I must say that the special effects are very good. They still hold up today.

So, it's an ark in space. Wasn't that an episode of Doctor Who?

Dr. Goodhead really knows how to go down a pole.

Q: Where does the General get all his women? A: The Gogol Bordello.

Jaws isn't stupid after all. That was nice to see.

It's a party at zero G.

Use the force, James.

James Bond will return in For Your Eyes Only.

I promise.

Oh, now I get it. Bollinger '69.
