I guess should post my thoughts on the prior 2 movies.

I watched from Russia With Love and Goldfinger.

From Russia With Love is an awesome movie in a lot of ways, but also pretty different from what the series would become.

I think Red Grant is my favorite Bond villain as he is an equal both mentally and physically. The whole scene between the two on the train is some fine piece of cinema.

Goldfinger is a completely different beast, but its the beast that sets the formula for the rest of the series. Huge set-pieces, one-liners and an overuse of gadgets.

It has an awesome Bond girl in Pussy Galore. IT has the Aston. IT has gadgets. It has one of my favorite themes. And my favorite capture scene.

Sorry about the delay, but had this up and ready to go last night and then for some strange reason all the text disappeared. Was not a happy Penguin.

Anyhow, the next movie in our Bond-tastic October is Thunderball.


Our Bond for the 4th time is Sean Connery.


Our Bond girl Dominique Derval


Our bond villain is number 2 himself, Emilio Largo


This movie is famous for its VERY extended underwater chase scene.

Film intro/Theme

Alternate Theme

Thunderball Trailer

This seems like a two man operation with an Uber thrown in.

Thunderball is a fun movie, but the climax is shot so oddly. It just comes off looking cheesy.

This thread may rise from day to day, but You Only Live Twice... or so it seems... Okay these are getting worse and worse, I admit.

But yeah the next movie in our marathon is You Only Live Twice.


And for the 5th time, Sean Connery is our James Bond.

Instead of Felix Leither, Bond gets some assistance from Tiger Tanaka


The first Mrs. Bond, Kissy


And our enemy who you get to see for the first time, Blofeld


The Trailer

The Opening Credits/Theme Song

One of my favorite themes.

Just finished Goldfinger.


A good movie. More fast paced then the previous 2 and he only lands 2 ladies.




So far have to say I prefer From Russia With Love

And just finished Thunderball. One of my favorite Bond themes so far.


Good again but was not that big a fan of the underwater scenes, which took up a good portion of the movie. Only 3 ladies done again, if I am not mistaken, thus making From Russia still the champ all thanks to the gypsy threesome.



And I noticed at the end they totally whipped out the skyhook manuever that Dark Knight totally stole


You Only Live Twice is on my agenda for tomorrow

Anyhow, finished You Only Live Twice a bit ago. It's a fun movie. Ninjas storming a volcanic base, come on!

Our next film, is in my opinion one of the best in the franchise, On Her Majesty's Secret Service.


This is the 6th film in the series and the first to not star our man Connery.
So our James Bond for the first (and only) time is George Lazenby


Our Bond girl is the only true Mrs. Bond, Tracy di Vicenzo


Our returning villain with a new look, Blofeld.


The Trailer
As an aside, I really do enjoy the cheesy voice-overs of the trailers. They don't make em like this anymore.

The Opening Credit/Theme
I believe this was due to remind folks that it was the same character, but like the use of old footage in the intro. And a really well done theme song.

And when the movie is done shall post the other themes, one of my favorite moments in the entire series.

Watched You Only Live Twice today.


It was good but it felt like the whole movie was filler.


And his bone count is still at 3. Damn that gypsy threesome

OHMSS is such a great movie. Easily in my top 5 Bond movies.

Sadly... it was followed by....

I just started this so figured would put up the post now for some discussion.

Right off the back, I hate how the whole opening sequence is set-up. We get Bond basically being apathetic towards the man who murdered his wife. He shows no emotion... and not no emotion like stone cold.. just kind of mindlessly fighting people. Then Blofeld is "killed" in a mud bath or whatever. And Connery aged pretty damn quick through these movies!

Anyhow, the next movie in our marathon is Diamonds are Forever, but apparently Sean Connery is not.

Our Bond for the 6th and final time is Sean Connery who just didn't give a damn at this point.

Our villain for the 3rd and really final time is one Blofeld played by another actor
[IMG]http://www.bondmovies.com/villains/blofeld3.jpg[/IMG

Our Bond girl is Tiffany Case


The movie also features a gay couple henchmen.. I think that's this movie anyhow.

And the girl named after her father, Plenty O'Toole


The Intro/Theme Song
I am actually a fan of the theme song. One of the few things I like about the movie. Also pained me when little brothers didn't know the Kanye West song sampled the movie theme.

The Trailer

And so ends the Connery era and we enter the Golden Age of Moore.

Okay this is take 2 since this has a habit of clearing on me.
Anyhow for those who criticize Casino Royale as turning Bond into Bourne. The whole trend of Bond reflecting current movie trends started with this film and a lot of the Moore era as well. With that said, we shall Live and Let Die.



Our Bond for the first time, Roger Moore


Our Bond girl is Soliataire, who loses her powers once Bond deflowers her


Our Bond villain(s), Mr. Big/Dr. Kananga


And lastly, my most hated character in the franchise

I don't know what he brings to the table.

The Trailer
Unlike Lazenby, they had no problem advertising Moore as the new face of 007.

The Theme/Intro
MAybe the most famous of the Bond themes.

Since sitting home a little bored, I figured it would be a good time to watch a Bond movie seeing how Mondays are usually such a pain for me to find the time.

Next on our marathon is The Man with The Golden Gun. A favorite mode in Goldeneye for my friends.


Our Bond for the second time is Roger Moore,


Our villain is sir Third Nipple, Scaramanga


Our Bond girl is Mary Goodnight,


And one would be rude not to mention, Nick Nack, a midget servant (I wish I was making that up)


The Trailer

The Intro/Theme Song
I actually do enjoy the song.

Found a new site that provide these for each movie

Vital Statistics: (According to mi6.co.uk)

* Conquests: 2
* Martinis: 0
* Kills: 1
* "Bond, James Bond": 2
