I’m going to see the new Bond film later this afternoon with a friend. Reviews indicate that this iteration of Bond is grittier and more realistic, which is fine with me as I’ve found the last few films rather silly. I am quite fond of the Sean Connery era and can watch those film repeatedly, but my greatest enthusiasm for things Bond-related is reserved for On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Maybe it’s because I like to imagine myself as George Lazenby in that Alpine chalet, surrounded by a veritable United Nations of libidinous (your word for the day) hotties.
Worst Bond film: Moonraker, without a doubt. A relative once gave me a VHS copy of that movie as a holiday gift. Even though I was only ten at the time, my artistic sensibilities were sufficiently honed to quickly realize how hard that movie sucked ass. Avoid it at all costs.
