Looks like the VCR half of my eleven-year-old DVD-VCR combo finally gave up the ghost today.
After several months of inactivity, I decided to fire it up. Roughly halfway through a badly degraded copy of Wild at Heart, the picture went snowy; subsequent attempts to clean the VCR’s innards availed me naught.
Now I have more incentive than ever to replace my remaining videotapes.
I want to watch a Bond movie. I’m taking suggestions; which one should I watch? (I’m up for anything but Spectre.)
The Person in Question
From Russia With Love if you want to watch a great movie.
Goldfinger or Thunderball if you want something a little lighter and more fun.
License to Kill if you are in the mood for a parody.
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.
How is License to Kill a parody? The first one to feel like a parody to me was Diamonds are Forever.
The Person in Question
For example, the tanker truck chase.
Which did you end up watching?
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.
Goldfinger.
I don’t see how the tanker truck chase is any more ludicrous than Pussy Galore’s Flying Circus.

License is possibly my favorite.
JEDIT: I was thinking of Daylights. Sorry.

Big distinction lol. Daylights is a very enjoyable movie.
Re: License, maybe I’m less forgiving of the cheese because the rest of the movie is so bad and uninspired.

Hey Jeebus. What’s your avatar from? It’s cool.
Exactly. I’d say that at least five Bond films before License to Kill alone feel like total self-parodies.

Haven’t watched the Moore films as recently, but they’re too over the top too.

I’m going to abstain from video games for Lent.
chyron just put a big Ric pic in your sig and be done with it.
every innovation was a deviation from the norm .

For Your Eyes Only is the major exception.

Hmm? Is that not exactly what he’s doing? Pushing it over the top?
I love every single Bond movie except for Quantum of Solace and Spectre. I gained new appreciation for Quantum after seeing Spectre, though. That movie was a trainwreck. The first hour or so wasn’t bad, but it easily has the worst script of any film in the franchise. Bond and Blofeld being brothers is like the stuff of parody.

Shucks. All this time I thought he was an audiobook.
Haha, good one’s you two.

And Austin Powers did it 13 years earlier to boot.
