Did You Enjoy “HIGH NOON”? Do You Enjoy SCI-FI? GREAT! Then You Will LOVE “OUTLAND”!!!
- “OUTLAND” Was Released In 1981, And It Stars… … …SEAN CONNERY!!!
(TAGLINE: "ON JUPITER'S MOON HE'S THE ONLY LAW.")
HONESTLY, My Peeps…
…This Flick…
“OUTLAND“
…Is…
MY FAVE-FAVE SEAN CONNERY FLICK Of ALL-TIME!!!
.Period.
It Always Has Been.
And…
…It’s Very Likely To Always Be.
As My Headline States…
“OUTLAND“
…Really Is Like…
“HIGH NOON“
…Except It Takes Place…
…
…
…IN OUTER-SPACE!!!
O.M.G.
!!! !!! !!!
Exactly, My Peeps.
It’s WONDERFUL!
SEAN CONNERY
…Is…
“MARSHAL O’NEIL“
…The NEW Law In “Town”.
Only, The “Town” Is A CORPORATE-RUN-MINING-OPERATION On JUPITER’s MOON “IO”!!!
(I Can Tell You're Already Hooked Simply Based On The Possibilities!)
“MARSHAL O’NEIL“
…Takes Exception To Being Bossed-About By The Mining-Ops’ General Manager…
“SHEPPARD“
(Played Perfectly By PETER BOYLE)
…All The While He’s Trying To Figure-Out…
…WHY People Are Dying…
…And…
…WHY Are People Going Insane???
Soooo…
“MARSHAL O’NEIL“
…Enlists The Help Of…
“DR. LAZARUS“
(Played Equally Well By FRANCES STERNHAGEN)
…In His Investigations.
Come To Find-Out…
…Those Who Are Going Crazy And Offing Themselves AND Other Folks…
…Are ALL Taking A Powerful Drug That Does Make Them Work Harder And Faster…
…But It ALSO Eventually Causes Them To Go PSYCHO!
When…
“MARSHAL O’NEIL“
…Starts Puttin’ The Smack Down…
“SHEPPARD“
…Calls In The HIRED-GUNS To Stop The Marshal Before He Ruins Their Whole Operation!!!
And…
…Of Course…
…The People Of The “Town” Are All Too Cowardly To Step-In And Help The Marshal.
!!! !!!
It’s A HELLUVA FLICK, My Peeps!!!
And I DO Refer To It As A TOTALLY FORGOTTEN CLASSIC.
.Period.
Hell…
…Most Folks Don’t Even Know This One Exists.
BUT…
…That’s Why I’M Here!!!
Trust Me, Kiddies…
…If You Haven’t Seen…
“OUTLAND“
…And You’re Into The Plot-Line I’ve Just Lightly Laid Out…
…And You LOVE’YA Some…
SEAN CONNERY
(And Who Doesn't Love Themselves Some SEAN CONNERY!!!)
…Then It COULD BE The Proverbial Diamond-In-The-Rough For Ya.
Fo SHO Fo SHO, My Peeps!!!
Do You Trust Me???
GREAT!!!
I Simply KNEW YOU DID!!!
!!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!!
((QUICKIE)) Random Movie Mention: SEAN CONNERY As JAMES BOND -007- In “FROM RUSSIA With LOVE” (1963) !!!
The Truest Example Of An Espionage Thriller In The JAMES BOND Universe Is This Flick…
“FROM RUSSIA With LOVE“
…Starring…
SEAN CONNERY As (Secret Agent -007-) JAMES BOND
…And Also…
DANIELA BIANCHI As (Soviet Defector) TATIANA ROMANOVA
LOTTE LENYA As (SPECTRE Agent #3) ROSA KLEBB
PEDRO ARMENDARIZ As (Special Agent) ALI KERIM BEY
…And…
ROBERT SHAW As (SPECTRE Assassin) DONALD “RED” GRANT
The Film Was Directed By…
TERENCE YOUNG
…Whom Had Previously Directed The BOND Caper…
“DR. NO“
…And Whom Would Go On To Direct My Fave Fave FAVORITE Of The SEAN CONNERY As BOND Flicks…
“THUNDERBALL“
😀 😀 😀 😀
This Is SEAN CONNERY‘s Second Outing As JAMES BOND, And It’s A Real Treat For Anyone Whom Is A Fan Of The Long Running Franchise.
Here, BOND Is Trying To Get The Soviet Defector, TATIANA ROMANOVA, And A Secret Soviet Decoder-Machine ((The LEKTOR)) Into The Hands Of Her Majesty’s Government And The American CIA.
But, Standing In His Way Are The Evil SPECTRE Agent ROSA KLEBB And Her Trusty SPECTRE Assassin “RED“ GRANT.
***{{{PLOT SUMMARY HERE}}}***
!!! !!!! !!!
😀 😀 😀
Some Film Highlights?!?
The Gypsy Camp.
That Awesome Rifle AND Briefcase.
That Even MORE Awesome Wrist–Watch.
A Nifty Boat Chase.
An Even MORE Nifty Helicopter Attack.
But, My Favorite Is The Train Trip On The Super Classic “ORIENT EXPRESS“!!!
😀 😀
So, My Peeps, If You’re Really In The Mood For A Very Classic BOND Adventure…
…Then I’m Sure You’ll Get A Real Kick Out Of This One!!!
“FROM RUSSIA With LOVE“
…Is A Super Sweet Spy Thriller, And One Of The Best Flicks In The Series.
You Should Really Give This One A Go, Kiddies, If You Haven’t Already.
For Those Of You Whom Have Already Seen It, I Hope You Dug Its Jive!
Y’all Take Care, Now.
HAPPY MOVIE WATCHING, Fo SHO!!!
😀
Quickly, What’s On Now?!? –SEAN CONNERY As JAMES BOND -007- In “YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE” (1967)
I Consider…
“YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE“
(1967)
…To Be The Most Underrated Of The…
SEAN CONNERY As JAMES BOND
…Adventure Epics…
…And It’s A Damn Fine Adventure At That, My Peeps!
😀
“YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE“
…Was Directed By…
LEWIS GILBERT
…Whom Would Later Helm The JAMES BOND Adventures…
“THE SPY WHO LOVED ME“
(1977)
…And…
“MOONRAKER“
(1979)
…Both Of Which Are Personal FAVES Of FAVES!
😀 😀
Alright, The Gist Of The Flick Is This:
The World Sits On The Brink Of WORLD WAR III.
An American Spacecraft Has Disappeared, Following An Encounter With An Unknown Spacecraft.
The Americans Are Blaming The Russians For Entire Incident.
(((Of Course They Are!)))
They (The Americans) Make It Known They’re Going To Launch Another Spacecraft In Just A Few Weeks.
If ANYTHING Happens To It, They Will Consider It An Act Of War!
The British Government, On The Other Hand, Does NOT Believe The Russians Are Responsible.
This, However, Must Be Proven Before Something Does Happen That Could Ignite The World Into Full-Scale Nuclear Armageddon!
Sooo…
…The British Government Fakes JAMES BOND‘s Death, Freeing Him To Go On The Hunt For The Truth.
They’re Sending BOND To Japan, Where They Believe The Before Mentioned “Unknown Spacecraft” Originated.
And Now, You Know The Basic Plot For This Epic Romp!
So, What’s Gonna Happen?
Did The Enemy Originate From Japan?
If So, Will BOND Be Able To Locate And Destroy Them In Time?
Or, Will The World Be Pushed Beyond Said Brink And Eventually Become A Giant Fireball In Space?
Hmm?
HMM?!?
Well…
…Wouldn’t Y’all Rather Watch It And Find-Out For Yourselves?!?
SURE YOU WOULD!!!
😉 😀 😉
I Will Tell You It’s A Helluva Ride, My Peeps, And A Helluva Lot Of Fun!!!
Some Of My Favorite Parts?!?
“LITTLE NELLY”
(((Trust Me, You'll Get It When You See It!)))
KEN ADAM‘s Eye-Popping Production Design.
NANCY SINATRA Beautifully Singing The Film’s Theme Song.
The Wonderfully Amazing VOLCANO LAYER.
But, Most Of All, My Favorite Part Is The Big Reveal Of JAMES BOND‘s Arch Enemy/Nemesis, “ERNST STAVRO BLOFELD“, Played To Creepy, Evil Perfection By An ALL-TIME FAVE Of FAVES Actor…
DONALD PLEASENCE
!!! !!!! !!!
😀
As I Said, I Consider This Flick…
“YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE“
…To Be The Most Underrated Of All Of The BOND Flicks To Star…
SEAN CONNERY
…And I Think You’ll Totally Understand Why Once You’ve Checked-It-Out.
Since We Only Live But Once, My Peeps, You Should Sincerely Check-Out…
“YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE“
…Before You Finally Just, Ya Know, Check-Out.
Period.
Happy Movie Watching, My Peeps!!!
ENJOY YOURSELVES!!!
You Already KNOW I’m Doing So, Fo SHO Fo SHO!!!

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!!!
😀 😉 😀

Come And Get It!!! Your Weekend CHRISTOPHER LAMBERT Double-Shot Is Reeeaaady!!!
So, My Peeps…
…I Kinda Got Myself Into Mental…
“HIGHLANDER“
…Mode, Last Night.
Ended-Up Watching A Couple Of Them Back2Back.
Then I Remembered I Hadn’t Done My…
CHRISTOPHER LAMBERT
…Double-Sh0t!!!
So…
…Here We Are…
…And We Shall Begin With…
“HIGHLANDER 2: THE QUICKENING“
(1991)
Starring CHRISTOPHER LAMBERT, MICHAEL IRONSIDE, And SEAN CONNERY!!!
…Though I Honestly, MAJORLY Prefer The Version Shown Below.
||
\\//
\/
><><><><><><><><><><
Our Tagline?
("It's Time For A New Kind Of Magic.")
This Flick…
“HIGHLANDER 2: THE QUICKENING“
…Can Be VERY Difficult To Follow.
It’s A Combo Of BOTH…
…PREQUEL And SEQUEL…
…As It Moves Back-N-Forth Through Time.
We Do Find-Out WHERE The Immortals Really Come-From.
We Find-Out WHAT Happens To An Immortal When He Has No Other Immortals Left To Kill.
We Find-Out HOW We Can Make…
SEAN CONNERY
…Return To Us From Oblivion.
😉
BUT…
…Mostly…
…We’re Left KNOWING This Flick Simply RAN-OUT-OF-MONEY…
…And Was Hastily Slapped-Together And Run-Out-There BEFORE It Was Honestly Ready.
😦
The “THEATRICAL VERSION” Was A CRAZY MESS From MOVIE HELL!!!
The “RENEGADE VERSION” Does Help Us A BUNDLE, Fo SHO, Though You Can Still Tell Some Of The Film Simply Never Got Made.
If You’re A Lover Of…
CHRISTOPHER LAMBERT
…And…
The “HIGHLANDER” Franchise
…Then You’ve Likely Seen Both Versions.
And I Sincerely Doubt ANY Of Y’all Wouldn’t Have My Back In My Preceding Statements.
“HIGHLANDER 2: THE QUICKENING“
…Is A Fun…
…Kinda Campy…
…Throwaway Of A Flick…
…That I SINCERELY DO ENJOY!
Just Do Me A Solid, My Peeps.
If You DON’T LIKE IT…
…No Worries, PLEASE.
Most People DON’T LIKE IT One-Damned-Bit.
><><><><><><><><><><
As For The Second-Helping Of Our Double-Shot…
…We’re Gonna Quickly Discuss…
CHRISTOPHER LAMBERT‘s
…Exit From The “HIGHLANDER” Flicks…
“HIGHLANDER: ENDGAME“
(2000)
…Which Co-Starred…
ADRIAN PAUL
(aka TV's "HIGHLANDER")
><><><><><><><><><><
Our Tagline Here, Is…
("It Will Take Two Immortals To Defeat The Ultimate Evil. But In The End, There Can Be Only One.")
😀
Fans Of The “HIGHLANDER” Franchise Had Been Waiting A Long, Long-While For CHRISTOPHER LAMBERT And ADRIAN PAUL To Join Forces On The Big Screen.
In 2000, That Finally Happened!
You Can Tell The Production Company DID Put More Time AND Effort Into This Flick…
…Though It Honestly COULD HAVE BEEN So So So Much BETTER.
I’m Not Going To Reveal Too Much About This One…
…Since Any True Revelations About It Would Likely Destroy Your Reasons For WATCHING-IT In The First Place.
What I Can Say…
…Is…
CHRISTOPHER LAMBERT
…And…
ADRIAN PAUL
…DO Do Justice To Their Characters…
…As They Battle…
…THE MOST EVIL…
…And…
…THE MOST DANGEROUS…
…Of ALL The Immortals!
This Flick…
“HIGHLANDER: ENDGAME“
…Is VERY Fun…
…While It DOES Have Its Own Little Moment Of MAJOR-LEAGUE TEAR-JERKERY!!!
Trust Me, My Peeps…
…You’ll Know What I Mean When The Moment Comes.
Hell…
…I CRIED…
…So I’m Sure One OR Two Of Y’all Will Do The Same.
><><><><><><><><><><
I Sincerely Hope Y’all Have Had A Decent Weekend, Thus Far.
Do What Y’all Can To Make The Remainder Of It As Decent As Possible.
L8r On, My Peeps!
