(NOT SO) Random (JAMES BOND BLU-RAY) Movie Mention: “A VIEW TO A KILL” (1985)
Yeah, That’s What’s On.
I Just Happen To Have This Classic JAMES BOND Caper On Ye Ole BLU-RAY, Now!
Exciting, Eh?!
😀
For The Longest Time, I Insisted To My Friends ((and anyone else whom might/might-not care)) That This BOND Adventure…
“A VIEW TO A KILL“
…Was MY ULTIMATE-FAVORITE BOND Flick.
Period.
And, For The Bulk Of My Youth, It Honestly Was.
While It May Not Be MY FAVORITE Any Longer, It Remains A True Joy For Me To Kick-Back And Watch.
“A VIEW TO A KILL” And “OCTOPUSSY” Actually Started My Personal Love Affair AND Adventure With Ole –007– And His Amazingly Wonderful World.
I Sincerely Haven’t Looked Back, Since.
I’ve Been Hooked From The Onset.
I Do So So SO Love This Movie, And Think It To Be Very Very VERY Underrated.
Yeah, I’ll Grant That ROGER MOORE Was A Little “Long-In-The-Tooth” At Times During This One.
It Can’t Be Denied, So I Won’t Even Try To Do So.
But, Did It Honestly Bother Me???
Nope.
NOT. AT. ALL.
I’m A Huge ROGER MOORE Fanboy.
He Shall Always AND Forever Be MY FAVORITE BOND, And It’s Pure Bliss For Me To Watch Him Go On A Mission As The World’s Most Famous Spy.
😀 😀 😀
“A VIEW TO A KILL” Co-Stars CHRISTOPHER WALKEN As Our Baddie, The F-in’ Brilliantly Insane “MAX ZORIN“, Whom Is Hell-Bent On Destroying Silicon Valley, California, With A Man-Made MEGA-DISASTER!
He Wants To Corner The World’s Microchip Market, You See.
Honestly, He’s The Icing On The Sweet Sweet Cake That Is A ROGER MOORE Bond-Fest.
And, If CHRISTOPHER WALKEN Is The Icing, Then GRACE JONES As The Evil Henchwoman “MAY-DAY” Is The Strawberry On-Top!
(((I hate raw cherries, so those don't come anywhere near my sweet sweet cakes with icing!)))
Just Sayin’.
😉
This Flick Is Truly PRICELESS.
It’s Over-The-Top At Times, But It’s Totally Worth It, My Peeps.
The Chase Scene Going From The Eiffel Tower, And Ending With A Crashed Wedding On A Barge, Is Simply Wonderful FUN.
And, That’s Exactly What The Whole Flick Is…
…FUN!!!
Sometimes, That’s Really All I’m Lookin’ For.
I’m Very Happy To Have Now Added This BOND Caper To My Blu-ray Collection, And Now I’m Going To Get Back To Watching It.
I’ve Likely Seen It 412’ish Times…
…BUT It Has Yet To Get Old.
OH, And Don’t Forget About The Film’s Theme Song!
It’s Performed By Another Person Favorite…
DURAN DURAN
!!! !!! !!!
It’s STILL My Absolute Favorite BOND Theme Song.
Period Period Period.
Y’all Should Give This BOND Flick Another Chance, My Peeps.
It Is Deserving Of At Least That Much.
Who Knows, Maybe You’ll Encounter A New Found Appreciation For It.
I Know I Did, And I Already Really Enjoyed It.
You Just Can’t Beat JAMES BOND On The BLU-RAY!!!
😀
Happy Movie Watching, Kiddies!!!
😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

“I Just Looove “MOONRAKER”.” Said More Lovingly Than Should Be Allowed. =) -BRADLEY
BRADLEY Is Really Cool, I Promise. The “MOONRAKER” Fawning Is Purely True, Yet, Induced By A Love Affair Fascination With ROGER MOORE. 😐
What’s On NOW!?!: “FOR YOUR EYES ONLY” (1981) Starring ROGER MOORE As JAMES BOND 007!!!
The Best Of The Best Of The Bunch.
That’s How I Categorize This Flick…
“FOR YOUR EYES ONLY“
(1981)
…Starring…
ROGER MOORE
…As…
JAMES BOND – 007
…In What Would Be His Fifth BOND Adventure.
They Say The Third Time’s The Charm…
…And For ROGER…
…The Third Time Was More Of A Staple-Point In The World That Is JAMES BOND.
His Third Adventure…
“THE SPY WHO LOVED ME“
(1977)
…Really Cemented ROGER As BOND.
It Was His Best To Date…
…And The Best BOND Adventure Up To That Point.
I Loved It.
And Then I Saw This One…
“FOR YOUR EYES ONLY“
…And I Was Totally Sold.
It Is…
…By Far Far FAR…
…The Best BOND Of Them All.
At Least…
…In This Blogger’s Humble Opinion.
I Honestly Don’t Know What All To Say Here.
I’ve Been In A Decent Mood…
…I’ve Just Felt Like Arse.
What More Can Be Said?
I’m Just In Pure BOND Mode, Today.
I Have All Of His Adventures On The DVD…
…But Only A Few On The Blu-ray.
I Only Purchased The Ones I Love The Most…
…And That Were Available At The Time.
Mainly…
…Those Available Were…
PIERCE BROSNAN
…BOND Adventures…
…Of Which Only One…
“GOLDENEYE“
(1995)
…Is On My Target List.
I Simply Love…
“GOLDENEYE“
…Though That’s The Only BROSNAN Flick I Can Honestly Say That About.
Anyway…
…I’m Going To Get Back To Watching…
“FOR YOUR EYES ONLY“
…And Once It’s Over, I’m Going To Watch…
“THUNDERBALL“
(1965)
…Which Is My Fave Fave From…
SEAN CONNERY
!!! !!!
I Know Everyone Says…
“GOLDFINGER“
(1964)
…Is The Very Best, Especially Of The CONNERY Flicks.
BUT…
…I Tend To Disagree.
(Of Course)
To ME…
“THUNDERBALL“
…Is Another Of Those That Is By Far Far FAR The Best Of The Best Of The Bunch.
I LOVE Me Some…
SEAN CONNERY
…And…
“THUNDERBALL“
…Is My Utmost Favorite!!!
ANYWAY…
…’Tis Time For Me To Kick-It-Back And Enjoy My Flicks.
These Flicks Are GREAT…
…But Having Them On The Blu-ray Is EVEN BETTER!!!
So It’s Time To Enjoy, My Peeps.
Time To Enjoy, Indeed!!!
😀 😉 😀
I Felt Like Warmed-Over-Arse…
…So I Spent The Bulk Of My Saturday In Bed.
I Simply Couldn’t Function.
Period.
I Felt Tired…
…I Felt Lethargic…
…I Felt Mopy And Draggy…
…I Simply Couldn’t Operate Up To Factory Specs.
And I Don’t Even Know What Was Wrong With Me.
It’s Very VERY Unusual For Me To Spend So Much Time Sleeping.
Some Folks Get Away With It…
…But Not I.
And Upon Awaking…
…I Found That I Had Silly Hands.
Silly Hands Means My Hands Are Twitchy.
I Can’t Get Them To Do Exactly As I’d Like…
…Or Exactly As They Would Normally Work.
I Mean, Come On Hands, Work For Me, Dammit, And Work NOW!
It’s Taken Me Forever And A Day Just To Type This Much.
It Sucks.
It Blows HARD, And Not In A Good Way.
There’s Nothing Pleasant About Having Silly Hands.
They Plague Me.
They Are The Bane Of My Existence.
They Cause So Many Issues.
As I Type Onward, They Don’t Improve.
They Only Get Worse.
You Try Typing With Silly Hands.
Or Try Pouring, AND Carrying, A Cup Of Coffee With Them.
Silly Hands Are What Have Kept Me From Doing Any Type Of Technical Work.
Hard To Work On Someone’s Computer When Your Hands Don’t Want To Operate Like They Should.
It’s Maddening.
It’s Frustrating.
It’s A Whole Bunch Of Horseshit, Is What It Is.
And There’s Nothing I Can Do About It.
I Simply Have To Let Them Pass.
Eventually, My Hands Will Go Back To Normal.
Or, As Normal As They’ll Get.
Which Ain’t So Normal.
And NOW I’m Realizing I’ve Spent This Much Time Talking About My Hands.
Sheesh.
Sorry.
Get Me On A Roll About Something, And I’ll Just Babble On And On About It.
My Bad.
What I Meant To Be Talking About Was My Health.
I Don’t Feel Right.
I Don’t Feel Well.
I Feel…
…Hmm…
…How Do I Feel?
I Feel…
…
…Crappy?
Does Crappy Fit Here?
Crappy SHOULD Fit Here.
I’m Just Not Me.
I Haven’t Been Me All Damned Day.
I Wasn’t Me All Of Yesterday.
Hell, I Wasn’t Even Me This Past Friday.
Just Tired.
Just Draggy.
Just Mopy.
I’d Say I Need To Get Out-N-About And Do Something.
I Would Do So.
But I Sincerely Don’t Know If I’ve Come-Down With Something.
My Temp Was Up A Touch Friday.
I Didn’t Take It Saturday, As I Knew I Didn’t Feel Good.
Perhaps I Should Take It Today?!
Perhaps, Indeed.
I’m Gonna Stop This, Now.
I’m Talking Way Too Much, And For No Good Reason.
As I Said, When I Don’t Feel Good, And I Get On A Topic, I Have The Tendency To Babble.
So I Shall Leave You Be, My Peeps.
I Promise To Work More, Today.
Working Generally Quells My Ill-Feelings.
Let’s Just Hope It Works In This Instance.
I Think I’ll Pop-On A JAMES BOND Flick On The Ole Blu-ray.
That Usually Helps Me Relax.
I’m Thinking…
…Oh…
…How About…
“FOR YOUR EYES ONLY“
…The Flick That Has Become My Favorite Of The ROGER MOORE Bond Adventures.
Yeah.
That Sounds Good.
Some I’m Gonna Go For That.
Why Not, Eh?!
Why Not, Indeed.
😉
Y’all Take Care.
Y’all Be Good.
Y’all See Me Soon.
Y’all Talk To Me Sooner.
I Foresee Another Day In Bed.
Nothing Wrong With That When You’re Sickly, Right?!
RIGHT!?!?!?!
Right.
😀
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.
🙂
HOWEVER…
…To Someone Like Myself…
“MOONRAKER“
…Just Happens To Be THE MOST CHEESE-TASTIC BOND FLICK Of ALL-TIME.
.Period Period.
😀
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!”
😉
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 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“
!!! !!! !!!
😀
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!!!
😀
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!!!
😉
Do You CANNONBALL??? MEEE TOOO!!!
“THE CANNONBALL RUN” (1981) Boasts An ALL-STAR Cast, Including… BURT REYNOLDS, ROGER MOORE, FARRAH FAWCETT, DOM DeLUISE, DEAN MARTIN, SAMMY DAVIS Jr., ADRIENNE BARBEAU, JAMIE FARR, TERRY BRADSHAW, JACKIE CHAN, and JACK ELAM!!!
*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***
So…
…Is This A GREAT Film?
Um…
…Uh…
…Not Really.
Is This A TOTALLY-FUN Flick AND A Slice Of CHEESY-MOVIE GOLD??
TOTALLY TOTALLY!!!
With A Cast Like This One Sports…
…How Could You POSSIBLY Go WRONG???
Uh…
…Well…
…Uh…
…Nevermind…
…I…
…Just…
…Yeah…
…Nevermind.
Nevermind INDEED.
BUT…
…It IS Fun To Watch…
…And Is VERY EASY To Enjoy…
…Provided You Don’t Mind Having The Cheese Runnin’ ALL OVER YA.
😉
It’s Campy-Ass FUN FUN FUN, That’s Fo SHO!!!
One Of Those Little Gems That Has Yet To Fail When I Sincerely NEEDED A Good Giggle.
And YES…
…I AM SURE…
…The BEST PART Of The Whole Flick…
…Is…
…Those ENDING-CREDIT-BLOOPERS!!!
That AND Those AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS CARS!!!
BURT REYNOLDS
…And…
DOM DeLUISE
…Are…
…A WONDERFUL COMEDIC COMBO.
.PERIOD.
So Are…
DEAN MARTIN
…And…
SAMMY DAVIS Jr.
…Fo SHO, My Peeps.
My FAVORITE CHARACTER In The Flick…
…However…
…Is…
DR. NIKOLAS VAN HELSING
…Played By A TRUE-CLASSIC Himself…
JACK ELAM
!!!
And…
ROGER MOORE
…Hams-It-Up…
…Spoofing His OWN PERFORMANCES Of JAMES BOND!!!
Got Just-Over 90-MINUTES To Spare???

“THE CANNONBALL RUN“
…Is Waitin’ For Ya!!!
