“I Just Looove “MOONRAKER”.” Said More Lovingly Than Should Be Allowed. =) -BRADLEY
What’s On NOW?! The JAMES BOND Cheese-Fest “MOONRAKER” (1979)!!!
So…
…What Is (likely) The MOST HATED Epic From The JAMES BOND Film Series?
Well…
…Purests Would (likely) Say…
“MOONRAKER“
…Starring…
ROGER MOORE As “JAMES BOND“
LOIS CHILES As “HOLLY GOODHEAD“
MICHAEL LONSDALE As “DRAX“
&
RICHARD KIEL As “JAWS“
.Period.
π
HOWEVER…
…To Someone Like Myself…
“MOONRAKER“
…Just Happens To Be THE MOST CHEESE-TASTIC BOND FLICK Of ALL-TIME.
.Period Period.
π
Am I Saying…
“MOONRAKER Is The Best BOND Flick EVER!”
??? ??? ???
No.
Not. At. All.
BUT BUT BUT…
…Am I Saying…
“MOONRAKER Is The Worst BOND Flick EVER!”
??? ??? ???
Nope.
Not. At. All. Either.
So What The Hell Am I Saying???
Well…
…I’m Saying…
“MOONRAKER Is A Veritable Pant-Load Of FUN!”
π
When I First Started Buying Blu-ray Flicks…
“MOONRAKER“
…Just So Happened To Be The Very First BOND Flick I Purchased.
WHY?
Because I Simply Knew It Would Look Wonderful In The Blu-ray Format On The Β Big-Screen-TV!!!
.Period Period Period.
For Those Of You Who Have Never Seen…
“MOONRAKER“
…I’ll Try To Explain WHY It’s So Much Fun.
Basically…
…It’s A Combination Of…
“Classic JAMES BOND Intrigue And Style And Humor”
…Heavily Mixed With Overtones Of…
“STAR WARS“
…And NO I’m NOT Joking.
“MOONRAKER“
…Became The Laughing-Stock Of The Entire JAMES BOND Franchise.
In Fact…
…To This Very Day…
…A Lot Of People Refer To It As…
“JAMES BOND IN OUTER-SPACE“
!!! !!! !!!
π
Yep.
That’s Right.
“OUTER-SPACE“
!!! !!! !!!
No Foolies.
BOND Actually Leaves Earth…
…And Heads To The Space-Station-Hideout Of The Evil “DRAX”…
…Where The Man Is Poised To Destroy All Human Life On Our Loverly Little Planet.
(HAHAHAHA!!!)
Like I Said, My Peeps…
…Purest Fans Of The BOND Films Really Turned A Cold-Shoulder To This One.
It Was Simply Way Too Far Fetched For Them To Take Seriously.
The Creators Of The Film Really Wanted To Cash-In On The Recent Success Of “STAR WARS“…
…And So Was Born…
“MOONRAKER“
…The Silliest…
…Goofiest…
…Cheesiest BOND Flick Of Them ALL!!!
NO WONDER I LOVE IT SO MUCH, Right?!
RIGHT!!!
π
If You’ve Seen It Already…
…You Know EXACTLY What I’m Talking About.
If You’ve NOT Seen It Already…
…Do Yourself A Favor And Give It The Ole College-Try.
Just Do Me A Favor…
…Go Into It EXPECTING Pure-CHEESY-Goodness!!!
Trust Me…
…In That Regard…
…It TOTALLY Delivers!!!
