The good thing about owning this collection is that it helps me to see them in their acting abilities. I realized the reason I use to think Roger Moore was such a good Bond was that he was one of the first Bonds I grew up watching; strictly nostalgia or rose colored glasses of the past. After watching them again I'd place them in this order. 1) Sean Connery ..... Just plain made the mold for Bond and a man's man 2)Daniel Craig ..... Rugged and classy as bond should be. 3) Pierce Bronsan ..... Goldeneye was great and the other ones were far from bad. 3/4) I'd tie Roger Moore and George Lazenby. Not really their fault .... Roger was just getting too old for most of them and George was pretty good and should've done at least a couple more. 5) Timothy Dalton ..... Partly because someone has to be last, but mostly because he was just plain bad. Some of this isn't there fault of the actors, but more the writers, script and co-actors and actresses. As alway this is merely my opinion and please enjoy them anyway you like them. BTW A View to a Kill and Octopussy were awful!
I think you are probably correct as I too grew up watching Bond during the Roger Moore era. I may have to give Broasnan another shot with Goldeneye.
Finally getting the chance to finish " no country for old men" bout 1/4 of the way through, so far not too bad.
Finished season 2 of The Punisher. Much more violent and action packed than the first season. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I’m looking forward to seeing that. My grandad was in France in WWI. I used to routinely look at and play with the gas mask, backpack, and helmet he brought home from the war, but I was at an age when I was unaware of what he may have seen and gone through.
The Accountant. I saw it when it first came out, and watched it on TV a couple of nights ago. I really like that movie, because I’m an accountant, I have a big rifle, and I know more than one person with Aspergers Syndrome, one high functioning with 3 degrees. The only thing I know about money laundering came from many years in banking watching for it!
I just finished watching There Identical Strangers. It's a documentary that was aired on CNN tonight about three identical triplets that were separated at birth and then found themselves later in life and reunited. I had some reluctance to watch it because I was fairly close with one of the triplets back in the early 80's when we worked together, for about a year or so. As with things in life, I ended up taking a job in NJ and we lost touch with one another. My reactions to the film were a mix of amazement, being horrified and sadness. I won't say any more so as not to spoil it for those who haven't seen it and want to. I do recommend it. Some deep and heavy stuff there, even without having known one of them. But to have known one, and to have had at least a glimpse of what was going through their heads at the time........ There are no words.
Currently working my way through the Black Mirror series. Kind of an updated more adult oriented version of The Twilight Zone. Pretty good. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
"Now You See Me 2". The whole CGI magic horseman nonsense. I was watching it with my wife and daughter as a family-time movie night so I let on that I was enjoying it but truth be told I thought it would never, ever end. Felt like I could have watched all three Lord Of The Rings movies back to back in less time.
James Bond ......... Die Another Day Last one with Pierce Bronsnan ..... Not the best, but certainly not the worst.
