One problem:


TOO *beep* EIGHTIES.
I expected every main character to wear a member's only jacket at some point in the film.

You wait 'til you see Licence to Kill. You'll be horrified.

Good point, Ashley Pomeroy. There are most definitely VERY 80's moments in LTK. For instance, the title song (ugh...), wedding celebration music, bar scene, and the end credits song (ughh.....). BUT LTK is EASILY one of, if not my very favorite Bond film ever! I love love love the flick!

reply

So why exactly is "TOO *beep* EIGHTIES" a problem with this film when LTK is your favorite Bond film?

reply

Because TLD is twice as eighties. And im not sure if its my favorite, its kind of a three-way tie between Licence to Kill, Diamonds Are Forever and Quantum of Solace.

reply

I liked the songs actually, haha. But yes, a marvelous Bond film and one of the best. I love Timothy Dalton.

haahahahahahahaha

Geez. The movie was made in the 80s, so it's *beep* supposed to look like the eighties, like LALD looks like a 70s movie and Doctor No looks like a 60s movie. How is that a problem??

reply

I don't think it looks very 80s *shrugs*

DISPLAY thy breasts, my Julia!

reply

The problem might be in liking the movie but loathing the style of the time...

Whether such loathing is out of personal preference, or other media influencing a viewer (e.g. "time period x is great whereas time period y sucks" - think "bellbottoms" too...)

reply

Wouldn't that be because it was released in '87? It couldn't very well be too 90's could it?

reply

Thats a good thing. The 80s is the best decade ever!

reply

I second this. The OP says it like it's a bad thing. It isn't! 80s rule! Way better than this and the last *beep* decades where the world has gone down the toilet :(

I hear ya. The last ten years or so sucked.

"Thats a good thing. The 80s is the best decade ever! "

Well, I don't know about EVER - there has certainly been such remarkably wonderful golden ages in the history of the Universe, especially if you consider all planets, all galaxies, all spaceships/cities/bases, all dimensions and also the future, that surely even the remarkable and energetic, euphoric 80s will seem like a bad nightmare in comparison.

But as I was about to comment: There isn't such a thing as TOO 80s. There can only be "not 80s enough".

Especially in the modern times - no decade has been as good as the 80s so far after the year 1989 ended.

reply

That is an absolutely ludicrous 'problem' you have just picked.

Its disgusting isnt it, putting loads of 80s images and items in a film when it was actually made... in the 80s !!!

reply

I guess there is a reason for that, seeing as the bulk of it was filmed in 1986!

"We're gonna need a bigger boat"

reply

This has to be the funniest nitpicky thread ever. Each film is a byproduct of the time it's filmed. Are Connery and Lazenby's films too "60s"? Is Moore's main decade too "70s"?

Yeah, Dalton's in a Member's Only jacket, which has infinite more shelf life than the power blue leisure suit Moore wears in "Live and Let Die".

*shrug*

I love to love my Lisa.

love the vibe.

Well the 80s was known for its horrendously tacky styles and dated fashioned (more so than 60s or 70s even).

The synthesizer score doesn't exactly create a timeless feeling when you watch the Dalton films. The Sean Connery and some of the Roger Moore ones were a bit classier in that regard.

Still better than today.

I don't know... shoulder pads? No thanks.

Yeah, that's the problem I have with Goldfinger...it's TOO *beep* SIXTIES. And The Spy Who Loved Me...it's TOO *beep* SEVENTIES.
