AH, my first Bond film:
one where Roger Moore acted like Sean Connery in a film directed by the guy who
went on to do the Dalton films. No
wonder I can’t pick a favorite.
My daughter enjoyed
seeing the evil Kitty, and watching his owner get dumped into a smokestack.
That’s my girl.
During the opening
credits I tried to convince her the models were wearing body stockings. I
thought I succeeded till she whispered, “that person is naked.”
Asking if that was, “His
‘pee-pee’ gun.”
Saying, “Is he going to JamesBond
her? It’s a James Bond movie, that
wouldn’t be surprising.”
Luckily the JIM diving
suit added suspense and drama, because after Thunderball she was, “Scarred by scuba.”
For a cross genre
moment, the following:
“Motorcycles with
spikes? Just like Ghost Rider!”
That’s my girl.
I told her the Lotus
sports car was going to do something cool. Sadly, she said, “That wasn’t cool,
that was just exploding.”
The chase in Melina’s Citroën
2CV led to her belief at where the title came from.
“That’s why it’s your
eyes only; he doesn’t want anyone to see him in that stinky car.”
The biggest mystery and suspense
of the film is figuring out who really was the bad guy.
Of course after seeing
Julian Glover fight the Doctor as Scaroth, Luke Skywalker as General Veers, and
Indiana Jones as Donovan, she didn’t feel any mysteryness or suspensitude in
figuring that out.
Plus Milos ate
pistachios, he had to be good.
