Ah, we're sharing memories and adulation. It should be so. I think my 1st awareness of Connery/Bond probably came from a Life or Look Magazine. I know it came soon enough that I saw DR. No at a theater. And also From Russia with Love. When he takes that little folding rifle out of an attache case, and shoots down a FRIGGIN YELLOW SPECTRE HELICOPTER under a rock, the crowd went wild. I mean this was the 1st movie I had ever seen where people stood up and applauded. Bond was more understated: "I'd say one of their aircraft was missing."

The movies, I think, usually came out in November. And I would see each one as many times I could in the theater run. Soundtracks. I went fast to Montgomery Wards to buy all the paperbacks....

I even have Never Say Never Again on LaserDisc. Woosh! Connery plus Kim Bassinger + Barbara Carrea? Klaus Maria Brandauer as the villain? One of the best. Ah haha Rowin Atkinson also!

George Lazenby as a successor was the worst despite Diana Rigg's contribution. Roger Moore & Pierce Brosnan, dismissable. Daniel Craig? Like some various DR. Who's, one of the best to follow.

Maybe some have forgot that Sir Sean Connery added an incredible amount of talent to The Time Bandits as the Greek King:

God rest in peace, Sean Connery.

It's all good brother Sonik Wiz, take care of yourself and those around you.
 
Thunderball is my favorite James Bond movie. I really enjoyed Time Bandits,
I saw Time Bandits at a strip mall shoebox type theater, for some reason,
the surround sound was fantastic.

My work schedule in 1983 allowed me to see Never Say Never Again in
the theater every Sunday night until the movie left town.

(I also like Zardoz)

This week my most elaborate home theater job will finally get the SONY C-Led the world's first.
Because we have been kiddingly referring to the owner as Blofeld, my inspiration was DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER. The fact that this thing goes online 2 days after Blofeld got his wish, I decided to announce the secret identity of this PH cinema of the future.:D For the first time I am cinema engineer and architect, the backstory is accurate as I directed the 3 teams.

There are 43 speakers and woofers. Custom made for me by Quested.

So I found an intercepted communique that tips us off to the PH's owner true identity, I think 007 might have enjoyed the dry humor.LOL
