VC's Laboratory 90908: Roll Film
VC:
Octopussy
This is actually the first time that I've ever watched the intro scene. I'd always drift in somewhere around the Russian War Room scene for some reason.
I wonder who siphoned the fuel out of the horse.
lol, Bond almost killed an innocent bystander with a gigantic ninja star. That's comedy relief from the comedy relief of the terrible puns we just suffered. Srsly, some of these weapons look contrived from a Klingon standpoint.
Tarzan. Oh hells no.
Octopussy playable? Sure... not many other interesting characters in this film other than Vijay, and technically he's a cameo since his dayjob was tennis.
MINE OW TOE! I STUBBED MINE OW TOE!
That security guard has pretty bad aim. I warned him about spamming his guns.
The supermodel octo-playmates have about the same acting skills as Robert Palmer's backup guitarists.
See? Q is an action hero, and he gets more girls faster than Bond does while he's older than their ages summed! Need model.
What do you know, Turk-ies can fly after all.
"Owing to the serious nature of his injuries, Bond is not fit enough for travel." Shut up and give him a body armor, that'll have him stronger than when the film started.
Disappointing in that there really aren't any cool locations to work with. The only area with promise is the Bazaar, since it would give opportunities for lots of cover and hiding places and a feel something like Basement, Complex, and Temple combined. However, I don't think our glacial modelling department could finish it before Half Life 6, and even then, Source performance drops off a cliff when you use many models.
James Bond will return in...

HOLY SHIT VC! Wow, I will have to space out reading all this. :D.....

Goldfinger wuh-wah-waaaaaaah
Finally, some real Bond. I just can't get behind Moore as Bond. It's not the age thing, he just seems stiff and out of place. The clown suit in Octopussy fit too well. Return to Connery, return to explosions and tits. And fat guys. The fat man theory keeps gaining momentum and chins as the quality of a Bond film seems to be 40% determined by the BMI of key players.
"What's with that trick pool table!" "I don't like bein' cooped up like this. What's that map doin' there?" Did they just tell the mooks to improvise in this scene?
Dumbest guard ever, ever.
"...and go back to nature." That means Pussy's going to stop shaving.
Obviously, Fort Knox needs to be a map. JS put together a tolerable map in Alpha, but I'm confident something much more grand can happen.
Auric has a golden revolver, kinda snazzy.
Where did the blade go? We saw the blade in the hat at the links, but at Knox there is no blade. 00fail.
Hey James, it's not a woman. You can't molest the bomb to subdue it; stop pawing randomly at the little wheels.
James Bond will return in...

Thunderball!
The tape opens with a preview for Goldeneye. Sucks so badly that Goldeneye was so good and all the other Brosnan-era films drove the franchise into the ground. Hell, drove it into Daniel Craig, secret agent Double-E Mo.
This is the last tape in my pile, which means that in subtraction to Live and Let Die, I've lost track of the Lazenby film which I know I have (had) somewhere. Diamonds Are Forever I think it was.
It's also one I never could get into. Something about this film just repels my attention. Part of that is probably because Adolfo Celi, Largo in this film, was the villain in Danger: Diabolik, which was a more-entertaining film. Not that it was a good film, but rather because it was bad in the good way that got it a spot on Mystery Science Theater 3000. Hence, I keep seeing him and realizing that usually when I see him I'm experiencing something funny and entertaining, but Thunderball surrounds him with boring and failure.
So, let's try to have a bit of fun with this and move on.
