Bond and Beyond

James Bond and The Queen make a dramatic entrance at the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.

^ currently to be seen in the AMC western series The Son playing a patriarchal character. It's bit 'Yellowstone lite' but nevertheless quite interesting and has an authentic feel to it.

^ He wasn't just referring to the character Alotta C**t? Oh wait, I'm thinking of Pussy Galore.

^ I remember him getting into trouble using the 'C-word' at a promotional event for a CBS TV series called Scarlett. He said the main character was '' an absolute ****'' or something very like that. Back in 1994 it wasn't the norm to use that word! Latterly he was in a very good TV fantasy series that was set in Victorian London called Penny Dreadful.

I want his island too. I wrote this in a favourite villains topic last year: I'm a fan of Christopher Lee and loved his Scaramanga in The Man with the Golden Gun. Still, his henchman Nick Nack (Hervé Villechaize) is what made Scaramanaga's weird fantasy island a particulary good spectacle to me... And Scaramanga's superfluous yet strangely sinister third nipple, perhaps. Scaramanga: "A duel between titans... my third nipple against your Walther PPK." Bond: "What, your three nipples against my six bullets?" Scaramanga: "I only need the third one, Mr. Bond." ------------ That little Butler/servant (sore if that is size-ist) thing of course makes me think of Fantasy Island (same actor) and also The Prisoner, which is one of my favourite shows.

Lee as Scaramagna was fantastic!

I'm one of the very few people who enjoyed The Man with the Golden Gun. Yeah, it was super cheesy but at the end of the day, charming in its own right. Another underrated 007 movie to me is Live and Let Die - the villain is so cartoony, I love it.
