Saturday Night at the Movies 4/21/12!
Who cares what picture we see?
Walter Gotell does more than you could ever know, and in his honor:
S is for The Spy Who Loved Me!
Roger Moore's third Bond movie was the first to be produced solely by Albert Broccoli - and if anyone was worried whether or not "Cubby" could handle producing a 007 picture without his former partner Harry Saltzman - they needn't have bothered. It's a heck of movie - a huge production that entailed building the largest soundstage ever built to that time - and the 007 stage at Pinewood was used for other big movies - like The Empire Strikes Back until its untimely demolition in a fire in the mid-80's. Thankfully, it was rebuilt even bigger and christened the Albert R Broccoli 007 stage.
And since we're having some fun - check out this teaser trailer for the movie - with Roger Moore narrating!
And let's throw in a recently put together "fan trailer" edited by some clever person and uploaded to YouTube - here's how the trailer might go these days - ala 2006's Casino Royale...
I think it would be T riffic if you would come back Monday for the next post - until then, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!
Roger Moore isn't my favorite Bond, but this is one of the very best Bond movies.
ReplyDeleteI see where you're going with that - back in the 80's, when there had only been three 007 actors - a friend told me he liked Connery's Bond better - but Moore's movies more. Interesting, that.
DeleteAbsolutely amazing Bond movie with my favorite Bond (Roger!). As you can guess, it's pretty popular here in Austria :)
ReplyDeleteLove the fan trailer, simply kick-ass!
One of my very favorites too, Harry! Yeah, I can see this one - and The Living Daylights - being big Austrian hits!
DeleteSo many talented people make these things and post them - I like to highlight the cool ones!
How I loved this movie and the Carly Simon theme song. That fan trailer rocks! ;)
ReplyDeleteI remember sitting through all of Casey Kasem's American Top 40 one week trying to catch Meco's Disco Star Wars theme on a tape recorder - and it was number 1 that week, so it was a long wait. But #2 was Nobody Does It Better - and that was the only other song I taped that day!
DeleteGreat fan trailer by Mr. Wint!
My dad loves James Bond movies. I like Sean Connery the best.
ReplyDeleteFound you on Blogging A to Z!
Hey Jake and Terri! My dad isn't such a fan - I discovered them on my own - and I like all 6 007s!
DeleteThanks for coming by!
