1. I was totally psyched when Live and Let Die was startiing just
as I woke up. Easy watching!

2. Live and Let Die is my favorite Bond flick
Came out in '73, when I was a freshman in high school.

Moore seduced Jane Seymour with the stacked deck of Tarot cards. I thought she was the absolute shit. She only got better looking with time, too.

The part where Moore dances across the backs of the alligators is a classic to me.

Yahpet Kotto and the Seven-up Guy ("Unnn-Kola") are two of cinema's greatest bad guys.

3. Same here for favorite Bond flick.
It's too bad Connery didn't stick around to do it.

You also forgot the best boat chase ever and best tertiary character ever: Sahjint J. Dubya Peppuh.

5. Nah, I prefer Nobody Does it Better by Carly Simon
The Spy Who Loved Me also had my favorite Bond girl.

13. Do you know Starz is doing a Bond OnDemand channel.
Edited on Fri Dec-24-04 05:51 PM by xultar
I hope I get it. But since I love them so much I think I'm going to just purchase the entire DVD set of movies.

11. I'm the opposite
I liked them as a kid, but then I got tired of the Bond formula. I can't even watch the ones I used to like anymore.

14. Wow, I think the only one I remember as a kid was the one with Pussy-Galore
;). That was the only time I got to say pussy without getting smacked in the mouth. But I never watched them. I think just TNN - 3 yrs ago started doing the marathon I got hooked. I was sick with strep and some other crap @ my moms and all I did was lay down take drugs and watch 007. Now it is my holiday ritual.

17. My Grandpa looked like Sean Connery when he was young
So he's my favorite. I'd like the Bond movies better if they weren't so sexist, but I love their predessor, The Indiana Jones movies, and their parody The Austin Powers movies.
