BONDED
I have never been a James Bond fan.
Not even when it was discovered that Kennedy read the Ian Fleming stories and we all tried them out as well.
It all seemed kinda dorky actually. All those devices. All that mechanical sex.
I guess that is the same thing. Everything plunges or shoots
But, what do I know? I was and am a gay boy and the Bond movies are made for straight boys. Emphasis on the boy part.
Of all the films,
Goldfinger (1964) seems to be considered the best. So saith Ebert and the people who made up the NYTimes 1176 Best Films.
It is a bore today.
I don't know whether it's because all the stuff has been copied over and over or not. I think not. I remember that I was as bored the first time.
Do I dare say that I don't much like Sean Connery as Bond? I liked him in other things.
I don't know.
I am even annoyed that they use a lot of matte shots; fake backgrounds to the 'talk'. Hitchcock did it too. I suppose it saves money and improves the sound but it looks lame. A nit.
I am trying to fill the page. I am even bored about me writing about Bond.
Thank god this is the best one and that is all I will have to watch in the series.
And come on, really. Pussy Galore? Cut it out.
A 2 out of Netflix5. I reserve 1's for the really offensive ones and this movie wasn't even that.
Zzzzzzzzz.
