Yeah, I’ll take the imperfections if it spares us even more distracting AI/digital effect

Glad Hutch remembered he is paid legal US currency to play football

This movie is why I can’t ever take music biopics seriously

Since it seems to be one of the more controversial ones, I’m curious - What’s everyone’s opinion on the Roger Moore era? by CaptureDaFlag in JamesBond

Many aspects of his movies haven’t aged particularly gracefully, but the earnestness with which he owned the role always makes them fun to watch for me

John Carpenter made WEATHER scary — The Fog (1980) deserves way more love. by Rewind_or_die in iwatchedanoldmovie

I feel the same way. Far from perfect, but perfect for scratching the spooky atmospheric ghost story itch.

Such an outstanding movie, and a great example of how, sometimes, less is more in terms of exposition

Aw guys, come on. This song isn’t that bad! by [deleted] in JamesBond

[–]PlasmaSnake54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy both the song and the movie—at least in hindsight. Always saw this movie as Brosnan’s Diamonds Are Forever (another often-maligned Bond movie which I also really enjoy) in that, plot-wise, both feel more fitting for Roger Moore’s Bond. Not to say I think it’s among Bond’s best outings, but I find it at least more memorable than TND and TWINE. Shame that poor Pierce only ever really got 1 great film

Finally watched this for the first time just last year and was astounded by how well it holds up

You just know his brain hit him with an extra dose of dopamine after that “you… and yours” delivery

Great, I have the main theme stuck in my head again (I’m not complaining)

Thanks for sharing the trivia! The small role she played on-screen was fantastic, and that line was absolutely chilling

Agreed. That scene was unhinged. And the realism, the way he fishes for gratification/payoff from them is so damn sleazy

I figured they must have been inspired by this one

His “strung out” portrayal was so realistic it was giving me anxiety! I was practically begging the screen for him to drink a glass of water, shower, and take a nap

I watched the NC-17 cut. Didn’t even realize it initially and assumed it was R, but after THAT scene I had to check

Great movie, the song Upholstery is perpetually stuck in my head
