So, Bond 24 is called Spectre.
Wonder what that's going to be about...
I'm betting that they'll make Quantam from the last couple of movies morph into Spectre. Not too difficult. I'm not expecting another You Only Live Twice though....

I think I'm the only person on the planet who actually likes Moonraker

I'm trying to resolve "Moore" and "good taste," and my glials are melting.
I'm under no delusions he's a great actor, but he just seems to have so much fun I can't help but have fun with him.

There are a lot of fun scenes in the Moore-era movies, but I think that worked against them in the end. I'll sit and watch Moonraker, but...it's not good. A space battle? Laser beam weapons? In the 1970s? Turn it in. It's a small miracle that it wasn't the film that killed the franchise.
I mean, yes, Bond's hokey and departs from reality (or at least, the realities of the time) in a lot of ways, especially Q branch's gadgetry, up to and including the 'invisible' Aston Martin in Die Another Day, but Moonraker...yeesh.
And that's the usual point of watching movies, right? To be entertained. So good for him for delivering that to you. No, I'm serious.

Live and Let Die will always hold a soft spot in my heart as it is the first Bond movie I saw in the theater. Plus, the story is actually good and the song is one of the best. I remember being so excited to go see this with my friends. We had been listening to the song for a few weeks before seeing the movie and were more than ready when we finally did go. We were only 12 when Live and Let Die came out in 1973 and were actually allowed to take the bus a couple of miles and go see it by ourselves! Great memories with that movie.From Moore's era, I only really rate Live and Let Die. The Man With The Golden Gun was OK, but overall was really where the rot set in. The Spy Who Loved Me was passable for the most part, and was then redone in space as Moonraker (subs are taken in the first, shuttles/capsules in the second), and by Octopussy and especially A View to a Kill Moore was physically past it and was more 'creepy uncle-in-law' than suave seducer, although those films do still have their moments (though all too few, sadly, and most provided by Q).

I've never seen an entire James Bond movie.
