On the Canadoo: If I went down (south) to the mountain and there were no empty shells at either the old home place or my son’s property, THAT would be weird.

There are three James Bond Movies: Dr No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger.
The only ones I have on DVD.

Don’t get me started on the Matt Helm movies. I was introduced first to the Donald Hamilton novels. The Matt Helm movies are unnecessary parodies of James Bond. For a parody of James Bond select any one of the Roger Moore Bond movies.

I thought that Dalton was one of the best Bonds, period. A harder, less comic Bond and I agree–Broccoli, et al, were unwilling to let go of the Roger Moore era, which to my mind, had wreaked havoc with the entire Bond series. (reader of Ian Fleming here…).

Dalton got short shrift, unfortunately. Brosnan was okay, sort of back in the Connery mode of lighter stuff, somewhere between Connery and the early Moore. Still…too much charm, too little hardcore intelligence agent going on, IMHO. I like Brosnan, don’t get me wrong. But…well.

Trust me, don’t watch the final (Craig) Bond movie. Just **don’t.**
