Oh Her Majesty's Secret Service

Had never bothered with this one as I didn't fancy the look of Lazenby as Bond, but it was actually one of the better ones in the end! Definitely some of the best quips in a Bond movie; it was very funny throughout, and definitely one of the best Bond girls. Lazenby did a better job than I was expecting, and looked especially good in the fight scenes. Maybe even the best Bond in that regard? He has good charm as well, though not quite the magnetism of Connery.

Also has one of the all time great Bond songs in We Have All The Time In the World, although it's arguably also the Bond song that sounds least like a Bond song...

I did find it hilarious that when he goes undercover to the secret mountain base, he immediately gets down to riding as many of the women there as possible like that's his mission priority 

Also one of the best ending scenes in any Bond film.

Bond at his most human at the end, great scene there. And Diana Rigg, wow. A young Joanna Lumley was one of the women as well, never spotted her though.

Lazenby was underrated, though he didn't help matters himself. Couldn't nail the accent so his whole role was dubbed, and getting the part went to his head - he was very arrogant and pissed everybody around him off.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Always had a soft spot for it myself too.

Have hated it since I was a kid. Nothing memorable about it at all, just Cubby Broccoli assuming he could make chicken salad out of chicken shite with Lazenby, only to bring  Sean back in Diamonds, which admittedly is a bit of a mess, but Mr Wint & Mr Kidd  make it worthwhile.

I read this with Alan Partridge voice in mind!

Stop getting Bond wrong may have been the most profound thing Coogan ever wrote for Alan 🤣

[Emphyrio]

Second time I watched a movie called Blow Out. This one directed by de Palma and starring John Travolta. Pretty good, albeit aged.

The previous one I saw starred Ron Jeremy. Different strokes n' that.

Diamonds are Forever

Not really a worthy follow up to On Her Majesty's Secret Service, but it was ok. Not sure Lazenby would have done any better with it to be honest.

"I'm Plenty"

[Bond glances at generous cleavage]

"But of course you are."

"Plenty O'Toole."

"Named after your father, no doubt."


The finest exchange in all Bond fillums.

[The Heretic]

Yep one of the best lines on any film!

The Gate

I remember enjoying this one more last year but this year it was just a bit too tween for me. Special effects are amazing. Dorff is annoying.

[Sworntothecans]

The Gate rules. Had one of the best VHS covers too!


Watched The Ugly Stepsister. Fantastic bit of Danish body horror.

A House of Dynamite, surprisingly good!, well worth a watch!.Really well made and good actors too.

My only gripe was Idris Elba cast as the US president; wasn't suited to the role here!.

The Long Walk.

New Stephen King adaption, never read the book but pretty good film, same director as Strange Darling from last year.
