007 Mania

For my birthday, I think it was for my birthday, was it for my birthday or for something else?

Anyways, for an unspecified occasion in my life my parents bought me a box set of the James Bond DVDs. I’ve always watched the 007 Marathons on TBS and other stations, but over here I didn’t get that once or twice a year Bond kick, so I got 7 Bond DVDs. I guess you could say I am a LTWFTO (Long Time Watcher, First Time Owner)

So, I just got time to watch them, and I realized something. The Bond movies are lame!

The theme never changes: British guy sleeps with at least two women, one of which has some truly ridiculous provocative name. He seduces them with these really bad pick-up lines which they buy. Then the movie ends with him and this girl in a secret lair that is self destructing, only to have them escape and then…. well…you’ve seen the movies.

I love it! I can’t stop watching them. Call me just another mindless American consumer. I don’t know why they sell and I don’t know why they are making new ones, but I love it. I want to get them all! (By the way, did you know the new James Bond is blonde?)

Am I alone here? Any other Bond fans? What was your favorite Bond movie? Your favorite Bond? You favorite Bond bad guy? Or if you think Bond is stupid and degrading to women then leave a nasty hate-post about it. Your call. Dialogue with me.

Favorite Bond- Connery, because your Mother thinks I look like him when I cover my face with a beard. Without it she thinks I look like Alfala.
Favorite Movie-all of them
Favorite Villianess-the attractively challenged pageboy haircut maid with the poison blade that came out of the toe of her shoe, she was scary with or without those shoes.
Favorite Villian- Scaramanga

baba - I agree with the butch, Russian chick with the shoe. Creepy, unnaturally creepy.
I think you gotta get down your Scottish accent if you want to be Connery though.
