i saw on bbc news about lewis gilbert, of this and some of the earliest bond flicks, i'm so surprised he was still around, to me his name is very familiar just because as a kid his name was on the james bond movie posters i had on my wall, and you just take for granted directors from the earliest bond flicks are long gone, what a downer for kids to grow up with today's bond movies, but come to think of i grew up during haircut brosnan, but still i was only hooked on moore and connery, i don't know about you, but my experience has been that people i know of all ages prefer these two actors, it has stuck in my mind what a viewer said on a board of this very franchise "there was a time when you could actually look forward going to the cinema", i'm amazed to find almost only positive posts on this board, because critics absolutely trash it. i've seen parts of the latest movies, and remarkably there isn't anything distinctively bond about them anymore, it's just like watching any other action. realise how "licence to kill" was the first movie they had to raise the age limit on because it contained so much violence and the director wanted to introduce a darker bond, i guess that started mr. sandman, james sandman. same director who in his own words thought it was time for a new bond, while the original producer cubby broccoli managed to convince moore into staying for another adventure before dalton took over followed by such a time gap people wondered if bond would return, at least these are the versions i've heard, all in printed paper, "it's like the internet made of a tree.", "weird" - family guy.

in rowboat,
left japanese shore,
before volcano eruption,
sun down still over hills red sky,
mirror water i row from flower and dragon fly,
with you near don't have a care in the world,
tonight like a geisha you satisfy my thirst,
distant from shore but with you dont mind,
far reach rainbow from other side promise we wouldnt drown.
