I've never been to the movies. A combination of cheap parents, lack of real close friends, and distance has prevented me from doing so. It's not so much a burden on me anymore, however, because in this age of CGI-overkill and unoriginality, I have no desire to waste the money.

Go see SKYFALL. It's fantastic.

Skyfall (2012)

Goddamn, this is a good movie... And not just a good movie, but a really, really good BOND movie. This film really feels like a classic Bond film, whilst bringing something fresh.

 

Everything in this film works exquisitely. The plot, the score, the cinematography, the acting, the stunts. etc

It feels good to actually have a really, really good Bond Villain played wonderfully by Javier Bardem, and it's awesome that we have a Bond Theme that we can actually hum. This probably post-cinema hype, but it is quite possibly one of the best Bond films ever made.

 

The only thing that bugs me about this, are the placement of the gun-barrel sequence (which I don't really mind much), and a bunch of cgi Komodo Dragons (which I do mind, but only a little bit).

 

Go see this movie. It's great. Really, really great. I cannot rave about it enough.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) 10/10 - So, yeah, I had to skip YOLT because my brother has it, but that's okay, I guess, because I got to watch one of the best Bonds sooner rather than later. This was one of the last Bonds I saw, and when I did, I immediately loved it. Every time I re-watch it, though, I love it even more. It's been awhile since the last time (actually the last time I watched any Bond movie before this marathon was four years ago, I wonder why), and I can definitely say now that I would consider OHMSS my third favorite Bond film. It's the only Bond film that really lives up to FRWL (I like GF better for other reasons). It just feels so real. OHMSS is not just a great Bond film, it's a great spy film and a great film, period. The plot is simple, yet engaging and a welcome departure from the usual Bond formula. The action is outstanding - some of the best in the series. The score is amazing, as usual. And the performances are pretty damn good as well. I'm including George Lazenby when I say this. I thought he did a very good job. Bond felt human here. He had emotions. He was hotheaded in his scenes with M, a side we've not seen. He also held himself quite well in his scenes with Tracy, not an easy feat considering this is a relationship that is supposed to lead to Bond getting married, and then, of course, losing his wife. The final scene is stunning and kind of thing that gets you choked up. Lazenby does a very good job in arguably the toughest scene ever given to a Bond. I only wish that he had stuck around. I would have honestly preferred him to Roger Moore.

I deeply, deeply love OHMSS. It remains one of my favourite movies. Period. It's a real shame George Lazenby didn't continue on, he did a good job here and he probably would've improved as his films went on.

I hope that there's a parallel universe out there somewhere that I could visit where Lazenby stayed on as Bond. I would've loved to have seen the dark gritty revenge story to follow up on OHMSS. I wonder how the plot would've gone...
