    @mn5 I watched about 45 mins of the original a month or so back, prior to watching the re-boot, has not aged well and was so slow I gave up, new one was very good.

    Some scenes are the same word for word which is pretty cool. The old one did have some pretty cool stuff ( but also some horrific SFX which have aged badly )

    Virginia Madsen wasn’t in it enough and had too many clothes.

    Original Rocky - best talk about retards and the zoo.

    Rocky III - best performance of anyone in that genre from Mr T. Pain!

    Watching a noir, early classic line regarding a blonde: "That's enough to make a bulldog bust his chain."

    If a good Trump movie was made (may not be possible to have enough critical distance to do so), Steve Bannon would be played by Philip Seymour Hoffman (I know he's dead). Who would play Trump?

    So not Alec Baldwin then?

    PSH would be perfect for Brannon, good call.

    Ah, you're after serious answers!

    @voodoo Not bad. He did play Dominique Strauss-Kahn in Abel Ferrara's Welcome to New York. Another man who knew how to grab em by the pussy. 😉

    Samuel Fulller's The Naked Kiss.

    The too good to be true angle was coming from a mile off, but that was a devastating twist in 1964. David Lynch must have watched this.

    Lead actress was great.

    4/5.

    Moonraker - a delight from start to finish. Great set design, really well shot, loads of fun, and plenty of hot babes. Moore in the "man with no name" style gaucho outfit cracked me up.

    He had a few odd local colour “disguises” going for a year or two but couldn’t have looked more English.

    Proper Bond villains too. Michael Lonsdale as Drax. Jaws appears in that one as well.

    My favourite thing about that film is that the scientist is called Dr Holly Goodhead.

    That was peak Bond Girl innuendo. Hands down beats Pussy Galore, Mary Goodnight or Honey Rider.

    I found him the weakest Bond villain in Moores tenure to be honest. Very lame and not menacing whatsoever.

    Moonraker is ridiculously good fun though.

    You’re forgetting that French bloke in Octopussy. About as threatening as Fred Astaire in a good mood.
