I haven't seen many Bond movies (and none of the Pierce Brosnan movies...although I loved "Remington Steele"), but "Goldfinger" was one of my favorites.  The first James Bond movie that I can remember watching because I wanted to was "For Your Eyes Only."  I also love the theme song. :)

My favourite Bond book and movie by far is "From Russia With Love".  For me the movies went rapidly downhill after "Goldfinger".

I've collected all the songs. WORST by far was Madonna's effort.  My favourites are "Never Say Never Again" (Probably JMK"S too), "The Spy Who Loved Me", "All Time High", "For Your Eyes Only" and "We Have All The Time In The World".

"The Spy Who Loved Me" was the other Bond song that I really like.

Never read a James Bond novel.

Favorite Songs:
Goldfinger
Thunderballs
We Have All the Time In the World
Diamond Are Forever
Live and Let Die
The Spy Who Loved Me
For Your Eyes Only
All Time High  (perhaps the last really good Bond Theme Song)

Favorite Bond moment from the first one I saw: On His Majesty's Secret Service

Bond skiing to escape the villiams. Jumps over a road in front of snowblower. One villians falls in front of it, Gets chopped up and blown off to the sky and Bond turns and looks and quipsm "That Guy had a lot of guts"

Then saw Diamonda Are Forever
and then they released the earlier Bond films. A triple bill of Dr. No, From Russia With Love and Goldfinger. (Which I sat through one Saturday afternoon. Then a double bill of You Only Live Twice and Thunderball.

Re: Bond.

I never was much of a fan of the books.  I even tried the later ones, by John Gardner, but the character just didn't do it for me in book form.

And I was not that big a fan of Connery as Bond.  Connery got better when he got older, something Bond could never do.  

For that matter, Roger Moore was too much the fop for the role.

But I'm still a fan of the films.

For me, Dalton and Brosnan are more what I imagined Bond to be.  And I look forward to finding out what Daniel Craig does with the role.

Favorite films?

The Spy Who Love Me (in spite of Moore)
Licence to Kill
Goldeneye
The World Is Not Enough

Der B and I have the entire series (to date) on DVD, plus the spoofy Casino Royale.  I don't think we'll be adding the new releases; what we have is fine enough.

(And Judi Dench as M positively rocks!)

Good morning, all!  I am pondering the day amd mulling over the SWEENEY TODD of last evening.

Today I have a choral arrangement to finish up, a meeting about some work for Klea Blackhurst, and a dinner with two friends I haven't seen in far too long.

As to Mr Bond, I caught all the early ones beginning with DR NO, and I stopped watching them when Mr Connery gave up the role.  My favorites are FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE and GOLDFINGER.  I believe I drove everyone mad in my college dorm by playing the GOLDFINGER soundtrack to death.

The opening credit music for CASINO ROYALE has always been a favorite of mine, as far as instrumentals go.  (It was very cutely performed by singers popping up out of the orchestra pit in the poorly-received Roundabout Theater Bacharach-David revue THE LOOK OF LOVE.)

There is an article in Playbill On-Line about

but nowhere does it mention DR Jose! How unseemly

Don't these people know who is important?  ;)

Good Morning!

I have a sorta longish and sorta busy day ahead of me...

DEAR EDWINA

*My name is not listed, but I'll be in the "garage" at the keyboard.  ;)

I'm going in in a few to get some more notes under my fingers, and then we have a run-thru his afternoon, and then our first performance tonight at 7:00.  Whew!

So...

I haven't watched a James Bond movie since I was a kid, but I recall YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE as being a favorite because it took place in Japan and co-starred Mie Hama and Akiko Wakabayashi who had both previously starred in separate Godzilla movies.

Sean Connery is my favorite Bond and the theme to Casino Royale is my fave of the Bond songs.

Good morning, gang!

It is likely that TODAY'S THE DAY. I spoke to the mechanic late yesterday afternoon, and got the news that the sucker DOES run and DOES stop. Needs a few more "minor" adjustments - like headlights and turn signals... but I should call him at 11 ayem, San Antonio time - 9 ayem here... and if it's a go, I'll head over to DMV and get a trip permit (the sucker isn't registered); then call Geico and get an insurance rider. Then hit the airport for a 5:30 flight, find a motel, sleep fast, and begin the drive early tomorrow morning. Whew. And not a moment too soon.

I have to get back to Washington by next weekend for the Village Theatre new plays thingy, and to begin to drum up free ink in local papers for my 3-part seminar at Redmond Library the last week of August - all to promote my reading from Jewish Thighs for Redmond Association of the Spoken Word on September 2.

AND - I got an email from University of Santa Monica, informing me that I have, indeed, been accepted to their Masters program for the Fall. One weekend a month for two years, and I'll have the degree... I think my parents, may-they-rest-in-peace, would be content with my use of the gift they left.

Jose - break a leg! Oh, baby!!!
