Sean Connery is the same age as I am when he did this one. Crazy how much older people look back then compared to now.

George Lazenby was 29 in his outting, and he looked 40.

Time for The Man With The Golden Gun. Possibly the one I remember the least about. This and Octopussy.

The Man With The Golden Gun

Another big shift in placement. While watching it, some scenes came back, though vague, but clearly enjoyed it a lot more than I did before.

That slide whistle is still stupid though.

I think that's my second favorite Moore movie!

It actually just nudged out The Spy Who Loved Me as my top Moore, and Live & Let Die used to be the top one before this marathon.

A View to a Kill (disaster)

Man, I really dug For Your Eyes Only. Wonder what I'm seeing that none of you are.

Guess the movie is For My Eyes Only.

Just curious how repetitive the Bond movies feel when you binge watch them?

A little bit, but no more than like a Friday the 13th marathon. Well, maybe a little more since there's more installments.

On Octopussy now, so I'll have completed the Roger Moore stuff here in a couple hours.

It's funny how A View To A Kill will probably wind up at the bottom of the list overall, but the soundtrack is probably top 3 for me.

Looks like I missed Quantum of Solace as a short story. *shrug* Oh well, since I have that one on blu ray, I'm not going to be concerned. I'm trying to run out all the ones I don't own now before my Starz trial is done :P

Was thinking of that comparison, but a F13 marathon is so much shorter. Like one is a day, and the other is a fulltime job. :p
