[YT Edit] The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)

Comments

William Bryan

Now for The Spy Who Shagged Me 🤣

Bill Maurer

This is the Bond Movie where Moore felt comfortable in the role. For Your Eyes Only, to me, is his best and I hope you can get back to that later on. I think you will like Dalton, very underrated Bond. Thanks again !!

Dustin Denner

You really should check out For Your Eyes Only before moving on with The Living Daylights.

Joseph

The James Bond films are amazing in my opinion, I would recommend Moonraker next.

Robert Jewell

It's called the Union Jack, m'lady.

Ian Hunter (NewbieInOttawa)

Agreed, Bill - Dalton doesn't get the respect I think he earns with his performances. A little more serious, less cartoony. He was the first Bond I saw that I remember ( I would have been about 8 when I saw The Living Daylights came out.)

Patrick Flanagan

This and MOONRAKER are probably the best Moore movies. FOR YOUR EYES ONLY is a bit too low stakes and doesn't have a good villain. Unfortunately one of the best villains and one of the best hench(wo)men are in the pretty weak A VIEW TO A KILL.

John Wick

Nobody does it better 🤙🏾

Cassie, the 'Union Jack' represents the United Kingdom. It's a combination of 3 flags, England (red cross on a white field), Scotland (white diagonal cross, or 'saltire' on a blue field aka St. Andrew's Cross) and a red saltire on a white field (St. Patrick's cross), meant to represent Northern Ireland.

They're only doing 2 films for each actor...except Daniel Craig.

You looked a little confused at the mention of Bond being married. This was a reference to the events of On Her Majesty's Secret Service where Bond played by George Lazenby fell in love with Tracy Bond played by Diana Rigg. She of course died at the end of that film an ending that was pretty depressing but that's what happened in the novel as well. Even though Bond himself has changed actors from Sean Connery, George Lazenby back to Sean Connery and now with Roger Moore. The events of On Her Majesty's Secret Service is still apart of Bonds past history all the way up to Pierce Brosnan films. Once you start Daniel Craig's Casino Royal everything resets and you start from the beginning like a reboot. Time itself kind of warps around Bond so even though there's a 30 year gap between Sean and Pierce Bond himself has only been active for around a decade. Explains why Bond isn't an old man by the time you reach Pierce.

Can anyone think of the car Cassie might be talking about that "boys drove in high school" that resembled Bond's Lotus Esprit? Probably an early 2000s model?

Mike Gallagher

An interesting bonus for Bond content could be reacting to the pre-title sequences of the films that were skipped. Just a thought.

Just Plain Bob

Loved the ladies’ reaction to this one, probably more than the movie itself. I’m very impressed that they were able to let go of their recency bias and enjoy this film (and the other Bond movies they’ve watched so far) for what it is, instead of viewing it thru that critical lens so many seem to reserve for “old” movies. Believe me, in thirty years there will be plenty of people that will criticize today’s films for shoddy effects, stilted dialogue, bad stunt work or outdated behaviors - there’s really no telling what the source or nature of the criticism will be, only that as society evolves, so does technology and the customs and beliefs we held dear become outdated and often embarrassing. But the ladies seem to be able to appreciate the Bond films for what they are: light, breezy confections designed to be enjoyed without regard to socio-political considerations or concern about evolving mores. And what higher purpose can cinema serve than pure entertainment?

Christopher Carr

When I was 13 years old James Bond was exploding on to the screen and all of us guys wanted to be like Sean Connery. I have to say that our hormones were doing a lot of the convincing that being a spy in Her Majesty's Secret Service was the job for me. I had seen all of the movies and the only way you could see one was at the theaters. It was a long time between Goldfinger and the premiere of Thunderball, so I went down to the Walgreens and bought an Ian Flemming James Bond paperback. I don't remember which one but I have to say that the Bond series was never going to make it to the selves in our Jr. High library. I liked it and my hormones liked it. When my dad found it I had to talk fast. As a single parent he wasn't the sort of father that was up on the latest birds and bees approach. I finished the book but it got lost somewhere around the house and I never got to pass it on to my best friend. It was my first experience with an explicitly written book.

Richard Maurer

I haven't seen this one in years. I voted for Golden Gun and after watching this I wish more than ever that Golden Gun had won. This one is just another typical maniac tries to take over the world while Bond girl(s) fall for Bond story. Golden Gun at least had a villian with a different motivation for a change.

David

It is easy to overlook but when watching the first chase scene imagine how talented the cameramen were on skis. They were some of the best skiers in the world!

Mike LL

Enough about Bond. As for certain information you divulged in the premiere of TSWLM tonight, when you watch the PPOTM, Cassie, you know, THE THING, please watch it with Carly. She will love it just as much as you will.

Lamar Smith

Dearest Cassie, I’m sure someone told you but the term you’re looking for is ‘Union Jack.’ In iconography, just as America has ‘Uncle Sam,’ if a member of the (rather reduced today) member of the Empire sees a rather rotund, elderly man with or without a monocle, wearing red tails, black (or Union Jack) vest or waistcoat, breeches, high boots and a black top hat, they immediately know they’re seeing ‘John Bull,’ the personification of the Empire exactly the same, again, as an American would know Uncle Sam was a symbolic personification of America.

Joseph

Oh well that’s a shame then, I think it would definitely be better to watch the majority of the James Bond films.

Bill W

They stopped making Fieros in '88. Long before Cassie was in HS. My first thought was the Nissan too, but those model years were more rounded.

Harald Mahr

The music during the desert scene reminds me: you should watch Lawrence of Arabia.

ArsTropica

There is another reactor that is tackling the Bond series (Jen Murray) and I think that her next one should be G̶o̶l̶d̶e̶n̶E̶y̶e̶ The Living Daylights. Would be great to see a joint reaction with a fellow Canadian.

James Baugh

I posted 3 comments on YT but will repeat them here. First one is that Jaws reappears in Moonraker and there's a bit of a redemption twist. 2nd is that Moore earned a bit of hate as Bond by some "purists" who thought he was playing the roll too much as his prior "The Angel" character. The third was just to check out the wikipedia page on "Jaws (James Bond) after you've seen Moonraker... ya'll said this was your last Moore's Bond film but you ought to see Moonraker if you want to fill in a blank w.r.t. the character Jaws. Beyond that "Love Ya', Love Ya'"! Keep it up!

R Harper

"The Angel?" Did you perhaps mean "The Saint?" I agree with you wholeheartedly. Roger Moore was reportedly a very nice guy. His acting range was very limited.

Tim Raths

She just uploaded A View to a Kill last night so the next one is The Living Daylights. Jen Murray is going through the whole Bond catalog.

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

FUN FACT: The actor who plays the American Submarine captain is Shane Rimmer. He had a very interesting acting career playing small roles in some hugely iconic movies. He played Scott Tracy in the Thunderbirds TV series. He played one of the American pilots in Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove (1964). He had a blink-and-you'll-miss-it role in Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) as the engineer who puts R2D2 into Luke's X Wing for the Death Star battle. He featured in Richard Attenborough's Gandhi (1982) biopic as an American journalist commentating Gandhi's funeral procession, which featured 400,000 extras! One of his last film roles was in the climax of Batman Begins (2005) as the Gotham water board technician. RIP Shane Rimmer.

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

Sorry but I thought I might mention this once more, There's also a very sweet clip of an elderly Roger Moore on BBC's The One Show where he was reunited with actress Caroline Munro who played Naomi in The Spy who Loved Me. This reunion was in 2013, about four years before Roger Moore passed away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zM971US1owY

Story Archer

You're thinking of the Union Jack, if that somehow hasn't come up yet.

Larry Darrell

Absolutely! Especially when you factor in the Time that it takes to Write, Produce, Cast, Shoot, Edit and Release each Film. From Dr. No to Licence to Kill, 16 films were released, in 27 years. One Film Every 1 to 2 Years, only ONCE taking 3 Years. Over this Time, the Actors playing James Bond get either tired of playing the part; quit or get fired; or get too old for the part, and have to be Re-Cast. Also, the Look of the World changes, and in order to keep Each Film Current and Exciting, the World Ages with the Audience, but James Bond is still living His ONE LIFE. It Took 27 YEARS, 16 FILMS and 4 ACTORS to tell ONE MAN's LIFE STORY. ------------------------------- PS: There was a 6 Year Gap, between Licence to Kill and Goldeneye, and, in my opinion, this had some effect on "how much" Pierce Brosnan is connected to the previous Bonds. I believe Pierce Brosnan's Bond shares the Same History, but in a different sense. (And No, I'm Not talking about a multiverse scenario; or a codename scenario) Pierce Brosnan's Bonds, again in my opinion, are more like "The Further Adventures of James Bond," put to film. Similar to what British Writer, John Gardner did from 1981 to 1996, when he Re-vived the series of James Bond Novels, and wrote 14 more Books. Pierce Brosnan's Bond is the SAME BOND as the Previous Bonds, but with Someone Else Telling the Stories, and Not Truly Connected to the Documented Life of James Bond, as Penned to Paper by his Creator Ian Fleming, or Put to Film by his Original Producer Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli, or Typed to Paper by James Bond Script Writer (13 of the 16), Richard Maibaum, who died in 1991. Pierce Brosnan's Bonds were Produced by Cubby's Daughter and Step-Son, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, and Cubby on as a Consulting Producer only. Michael Wilson had been producing the James Bond Films, along with Cubby, since Moonraker. But, after the 6 Year Gap and the Stepping Down from the Top, by Cubby Broccoli, Pierce Brosnan's Bond, in my opinion, just has a "Different Edge." Still the SAME Blade, just Re-Sharpened.

‘Pacific Jack’ lol… on wet & rainy days here, I do wish that England was in the pacific.

Larry Darrell

I have been curious about this post for the past 2 days, and I just now figured out what PPOTM is. (I’m old-fashioned and all these abbreviations take me a minute… or days). Is Cassie really watching The Thing (1982) for her Popcorn Pick of the Month?

Mike LL

It was a question presented to Cassie during the YouTube premiere of TSWLM. It was kind of a joke, because both the person who asked the question and Cassie both knew they were referring to a much discussed movie between them, that being Open Range. Cassie has inferred that this is going to be her PPOTM. If you replay the chat for the premiere on YouTube, you will see the exchange.

John Murphy

Guys, XXX is played by Barbara Bach. She married Ringo Starr in 1981 and they are still together.
