Adjusted for inflation, this is the highest grossing Bond film of all time (if memory serves). Just wanted to point that out =)

Great review as always Amp!

Yes.  This is true and I should have pointed this out.  Casino Royale is the Bond film that has made the most money, but Thunderball is the one that made the most when adjusted for inflation. 

Thanks for the support Monty!

I thought it's pretty clear from my post that I am not a big Bond fan to begin with.

But you're a fan of Kim Possible... and probably Austin Powers...

True, but that's because I am a huge fan of parodies that make fun of all the cliches found in the more serious movies and TV shows. Although Austin Powers was slipping down more to toilet humor with each new movie, so the first one was by far the best.

If you like the first Austin Power movie, I suggest that you watch Our Man Flint.  It is inspired by the Bond craze and in turn inspired certain things in the Austin Powers series.

One of my favorite Bond films. I love the mysterious shot fired during the dance.

I would just like to walk up to the body of water and say "my sincerest condolences"  and then it would evaporate!



Flattery will get you nowhere - but don't stop trying.

AMP! I just got a member of spectre. Sorsha you have an IGN watermark in your avatar.

 

I have an IGN waterwark on the cover of my copy of Okami. What does this mean? 

It means that Universal Exports is looking into it.

Underwater Bond, hm...

I think I've watched this one as a kid, but don't really remember anything. I may haven't even watched fully. Casino Royale 1967 is also a blank.

What comes after that? The Lazenby and Kojak movie? Personally I think that Lazenby got axed after only one movie, because he married Diana Riggs and marriage doesn't fit the image of James Bond.

No, the next one is You Only Live Twice.  That's the one where Bond disguises himself as a Japanese fisherman.

Then is the Lazenby one.

I just watched You Only Live Twice this weekend, I'm one week ahead of time it seems but at least the movies are still fresh in my mind when you review them.

Your two weeks ahead.  I'm actually going to watch and review the 1967 Casino Royale next week since I'm a glutton for punishment.

What's worst is that I don't own Casino Royale 1967 or On Her Majesty's Secret Service so next weekend I'll probably skip to Diamonds Are Forever

You really should own On Her Majesty's Secret Service if you're a Bond fan.

I've seen all of them because for a couple years during the summer they would run a Bond Festival on TV presenting one movie every week but I've been lazy in buying the movies for myself. It doesn't help that I started buying them with my brother (who now lives two hours away from me) and also some on them are on VHS tapes which I can't watch anymore.
