Glory ,'The Killer In Me'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Hey! Your ellipses misrepresent what I said!
If it makes you feel less old, I know we had a bunch of those older ones (like Moonraker ) on tape at home, so they could have conceivably been my first. But I don't remember watching more than bits and pieces, if at all, before Goldeneye.
Nuh-uh!

Aaa! That is the opposite of helping!
Daniel Craig on Charlie Rose. (There are a few spoilers for the movie.)
Not only is he a smokin' pile of hottitude, he seems to have a functioning brain in his head. Hot, articulate and confident. A lethal combination indeed.

Deadly.
I don't know the first Bond I saw. I've never, to the best of my knowledge, seen one in the theatre. (My parents only ever went to see SciFi movies, and theatres are a habit I didn't really get into until about a decade ago.)
I know it was Moore, though.
The one I remember most clearly, possibly because I also owned the book, was Goldfinger.
I've seen every Bond movie in the theatre since I was about...10, I guess. It's a thing. I don't even question it--in fact, I pause whenever someone points out it's not automatic for them.
I've seen all the older ones more than once, and also read all the books--though that was way long ago. Maybe I should give that a shot again. Not like I have anything else to do.
I cannot get over how great I thought the parkour scene was. Just so educational about the character, and so few action scenes bother to shoot for more than shock or tittilation.
Mads Mikkelsen makes me laugh, because I'd only heard of him from fangirls getting me to put his picture up. He's just so not at all attractive in the movie.
I have finally seen True Romance. It was way different from what I thought it would be. I thought it was more of a Natural Born Killers thing, when it was actually...pretty sweet. And hot damn, what a fucking cast. Geez. Gary Oldman really is one of those chameleon actors, isn't he? Also, I couldn't figure out who the fuck Val Kilmer played, so I checked IMDb. Heh.

I had this same problem the first time I saw this movie, but I saw it in the theater and stayed through the credits, so I had my answer pretty quickly, but it was still a surprising moment.
I saw the credits and still didn't get it. I was like, "Who the fuck is Mentor ?"
Is that how it's listed? Huh. Maybe we just figured it out suddenly or something.
That's probably it. IMDb is less subtle.
