As it seems to get right up everyone’s nose I've done another list with one or two sentences summing up my opinion. This time it's about Bond films. Copy and paste the following to give your own opinions. Dr. No (1962) From Russia with Love (1963) Goldfinger (1964) Thunderball (1965) You Only Live Twice (1967) Casino Royale (1967) On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) Diamonds Are Forever (1971)...
Mel Gibson was too short to place James Bond. The "Braveheart" star's 5ft 9in frame was deemed unsuitable to make a convincing portrayal of the iconic British spy - who is currently played by Daniel Craig - while producer Albert R "Cubby" Broccoli was also concerned that he was too famous for the role. Scriptwriter Tom Mankiewicz - who wrote James Bond favorites "The Man With...
James Bond Weekend At USC Starts Tonight The University of Southern California will host a weekend long Centenary tribute to legendary James Bond producer Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli this weekend in Los Angeles. The weekend will comprise screenings of many classic Bond films (including examples of every actor to play 007 in the official canon), panel discussions with key behind-the-scenes...
This 6 Bluray boxset contains the James Bond classics Dr No, For Your Eyes Only, From Russia With Love, Die Another Day, Live and Let Die, and Thunderball. Only 1p more from HMV Online, but then the next cheapest on find-dvd is over £89 so this would seem to be a great price (do let us [...]
But I didn't realise it was until a couple of hours ago. I've been married for 6 months today!!! It's a miracle!!!! Ok maybe not quite a miracle but it feels like it was only last month (I wont say yesterday because everything feels like it happened yesterday for some reason, so it gets a little cluttered). Anyways, we were talking about songs we rather like, and we were listening to Michelle by the...
Came back from doing some bits this morning to find Live and Let Die on the TV. As is always traditional with James Bond, one must always ask - providing one had never asked before - who the best Bond is. A certain amount of leeway is allowed of course, but anybody who replies Roger Moore without a moments hesitation needs a good head examination. The correct answer is of course, as follows: Daniel...
Personally, I think this is probably the best solo album that McCartney did and probably even the best of any of the ex-Beatles solo efforts. After the success of Red Rose Speedway and "Live And Let Die"—the new James Bond theme song—Wings began contemplating its next album. Paul and Linda McCartney, bored with recording in the UK, wanted to go to an exotic locale. After asking...
Via Instapundit comes this Hotair/Ed Morrissey vid and transcript of Hardball host Chris Matthews musing about someone "jam[ming] a CO2 pellet into [Limbaugh's] head and he’s going to explode like a giant blimp." You know, just like Yaphet Kotto at the end of the Roger Moore Bond flick Live And Let Die . Seriously. Morrissey notes: No surprise here from the classiest cable network to...
Interesting finds by the folks at Newsbusters yesterday. I say "interesting," because more and more I get the feeling that the only people watching MSNBC are the ones who are paid to do so for one reason or another. The first tidbit presented itself on the MSNBC late morning show, watched by lonely pets and undocumented cleaning service employees from coast-to-coast. On that show, network...
What some guys won't say to get attention . . . Analogizing Rush Limbaugh to a James Bond villian, Chris Matthews today fantasized: "at some point somebody's going to jam a CO2 pellet into his head and he's going to explode like a giant blimp." Matthews made his remark while hosting during MSNBC's 10 AM hour this morning, chatting with guests from the Politico.com and WaPo. CHRIS MATTHEWS:...
Once again, their hypocrisy is glaring... It's OK for liberals to threaten conservatives with death-- Kill Bush , Kill Cheney , Kill Rush Limbaugh ... That's OK. It's funny. Even Barack Obama thinks dead Rush Limbaugh jokes are funny. The media and Hollywood elites loved Wanda Sykes jokes at the White House Correspondents Dinner. So did Barack Obama . Today, MSNBC commentator Chris Matthews fantasizes...

After surveying over 4,800 American adults, the new Zogby International poll revealed that more than 30 per cent of participants chose McCartney as their favourite Fab Four member. Sixteen per cent opted for John Lennon, who was shot dead in 1980, while the other [...] Related posts: Paul McCartney : Macca, Ringo Starr...
