Phew! Maybe it was because I already smelt like a toilet and nobody would come near me (he joked).Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-74406721311398763212017-01-14T13:14:54.411+00:002017-01-14T13:14:54.411+00:00The only reaction I can remember at the cinema was...The only reaction I can remember at the cinema was during Star Wars when Luke and Leia kiss - there was a big "Oooooooooo" from the audience. Then in Return Of The Jedi we got the utterly pointless revelation that Luke and Leia are siblings which made that previous scene an embarrassment. As for Summer 1977 - I finished primary school on July 22nd and began secondary school on August 31st. I and my next-door neighbour, Martin, were the same age and Martin's older sister told us that all new kids in our soon-to-be comprehensive school got their heads pushed down the toilet and the toilet was then flushed - thankfully she was lying !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-64383146928453794162017-01-14T12:56:23.642+00:002017-01-14T12:56:23.642+00:00Same thing happened when it was shown in my local ...Same thing happened when it was shown in my local fleapit, OD. Superman saving a falling Lois Lane ("You've got me? Who's got you?") also got that reaction.

Just about all the Bond movies steal from each other, but I've never much cared about the plots as long as the action and stunts are good. I think Craig is great in the fight scenes, PS, but he doesn't have the suave, sophisticated charm that Bond's supposed to epitomise.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-90807405462324210012017-01-13T23:01:33.769+00:002017-01-13T23:01:33.769+00:00I have two thoughts.

Second I wanted Caroline Munro to be major Amasova. Third I don't want to say I was disappointed when I saw the movie but I did think hey- they remade You Only Live Twice. Everyone commented on the similarities even then. Having said all that I do miss this Bond. Over the top in all ways. Craig is a Jason Bourne knock off.Phil Snoreply@blogger.com
