Octopussy is my absolute favorite James Bond movie.

Perfect blend of serious spy stuff and a few laughs, Roger never better, Louis Jordan my favorite of all the villains and screenplay by Flashman creator George MacDonald Fraser. It is as close to a perfect movie as you can get.

They were jealous of Goldmember.

[Carljob 🇵🇸 🇮🇪 @bornposting]

genuinely what were they thinking making Blofeld & Bond brothers in SPECTRE

[007intheAdirondacks @3octaves]

In both the movie Dirty Dancing and the book The Spy Who Loved Me the character has an abortion and remains sympathetic. I would say SWLM tells the story even better, because the MC fights for her right to bodily autonomy and is proud to have done so. https://t.co/VTwRuD5dax

@Syphermce @TheCanadian19 That is a lotta words for “Bring back slavery.”

[007intheAdirondacks @3octaves]

@JdubAndrew @TheCanadian19 Of course it should!

[007intheAdirondacks @3octaves]

@DerickStreater2 @TheCanadian19 There is no such thing as a starter job, quoth FDR, you know, the guy who championed the minimum wage.

[FluffyCanadian @TheCanadian19]

Sorry for my far left opinion, but every job should pay a living wage that allows people to actually live. If someone works at KFC, they should be able to pay their bills, meet their basic needs, and still save money, because that is what work is for.

[007intheAdirondacks @3octaves]

@femiiiszn It was nice.

[007intheAdirondacks @3octaves]

While Ian Fleming wrote his stories quickly, he often used a fact checker to get accurate details on g uns, locations, accents, poisons, etc.

[Tatiana Walk-Morris @Tati_WM]

For the love of God, bring back fact-checkers. Bring back copy editors. Bring back public editors. Bring back standards. Everybody tighten TF up.

Thank you, Marjane Satrapi

[007intheAdirondacks @3octaves]

She completely made me rethink how I look at world politics. RIP.

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

Iranian-French filmmaker and graphic novelist Marjane Satrapi has sadly passed away at the age of 56.

Satrapi was best known for Persepolis and its acclaimed animated film adaptation, works that brought her international recognition and made her one of the most influential voices in contemporary graphic storytelling.

Her legacy spans literature, film, and advocacy for freedom, women’s rights, and human rights.

Rest in peace. 🖤

For Your Eyes Only (1981)

One of the most fun chase scenes in Bond history.

Pursued by villains in powerful cars, James Bond escapes in a tiny Citroën 2CV that rattles, bounces, and looks ready to fall apart at any moment. Yet somehow, this unlikely little car becomes the perfect getaway vehicle.

A hilarious and unforgettable reminder that skill can sometimes beat horsepower.

[Emir Han @RealEmirHan]

Daniel Craig said the reason James Bond movies got serious and dark was because of Austin Powers movies

“We had to destroy the myth because Mike Myers f*cked us.”

“I am a huge fan, but he made it impossible to do the gags."

MEN,

If your first instinct when a woman tells you about sexism is to think of a counterexample, you are not listening. You are arguing. Women do not need you to disprove their experiences.
They need you to stop being part of the problem.

Why? Because Seseme Street isn't run by bigots.

[femiiiiii. @femiiiszn]

books are amazing because a stranger from 200 years ago can still ruin your afternoon emotionally.

[MP Arizona☀️🏳️‍🌈💙🌵🐕🐕‍🦺🫂💦🏜🐟🌴🎙🌎🌻♍️🌊 @AzPetrich]

And yes, I think that having an abortion is valid in many situations, for example:

When a woman is pregnant and doesn't want to be pregnant.

[007intheAdirondacks @3octaves]

@bornposting The bad Bond is the Scottish ruffian. Nothing like the source material and an SA expert.
