I read the Moonraker novel, its a pretty good cold war story.

What in the world were they on when they thought that the book had any of the things the movie had in it?

Moonraker also has the cheesiest moment and the least memorable bond girl: Jaws and the girl standing at the window waving when Bond is blasting off and Holly Goodhead(although I think she looked pretty good).

He has an idea for an elective course not unlike what you're talking about, about learning movie essentials.

It would be a little different every semester.

For example, one semester you would study the humor of the Marx Brothers. The next you might cover the stylings of Alfred Hitchcock. In another semester, you might learn about the massive body of work of Humphrey Bogart. Still another could be the feel-good nature of Frank Capra movies.

I personally think its a great idea.


I think there is something exactly like this at NC State and UNCW, I'm definitely going to take them if I go to either of those colleges.

No, the boy is quite astute, they really do suck. Candy colored images, terrible sound mixing and more detrimental changes, the discs are a nightmare.

Neil has a good point, the image "quality" might be "good" as you would say, but they are horrible looking in regards to color levels and added special effects.

Bond should be in his mid to late 30s. Something happens and MI5 gets fucked up, lots of people, including M, dead. Bond goes into hiding. He meets Q (a new Q, not R or any other shit and not John Cleese) secretly and Q kits him out with all that he could manage to get hold of - a few guns and gadgets. Bond then goes about getting the people who done this and saving the world. The Bond music can stay, but that's about it. We need to go back to a Dalton style Bond. The Dalton movies did have humour, despite what some people say (what about the bit where he parachutes onto the girl's boat, shouts 'nothing to declare' as he bobsleighs over the border on a double bass? - that was bond humour, not all this Brosnan era 'Cunning luinguist' crap). They should also cast an unknown. And Irvin Kershner should direct (Never say never again may be unofficial, but it's one of the 5 best in my opinion).


You hit the nail on the head.
