Pim and I had a James Bond double bill this evening: we watched Goldfinger, followed by Dr. No.



I wasn't very impressed by Goldfinger which, except for the the bit with girl covered in gold, struck me as sort of hokey and pointless. But Dr. No - what an unexpected treat! It was old-fashioned fun like I remember from The Man From U.N.C.L.E., with an interesting and bizarre villain and Bond being, well, Bond-like. And I really liked Jack Lord as Felix Leiter - I haven't liked any of the other actors I've seen in the role. I even surprised myself by liking Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder.

Good Jamaica setting, too.

Jack Lord! I really used to like him.
Can't get into the new H5O. New Steve just lacks... gravitas, in a way. Not to mention he's about 15 years too young.

Unrelated - thought this might amuse you as much as it amused me (courtesy of baronjanus' link post 53)

I never saw the original Hawaii Five-). I saw some of the remake because my friend Marion likes Alex O'Loughlin - but I didn't find that the stories pulled me in at all.

Love the Chaucer link!
