Names are important for so many reasons but they are also quite surreal in as much as they force you to make a decision about the face that belongs to the person that you like, love, are attracted to, hang out with, blah, blah, blah. How many times have you heard someone say, I’m hopeless/useless at remembering names? No doubt countless times. I’m one of the many afflicted individuals who have become lazy, bored and damn right oblivious to the importance of remembering names – first impressions count and all that jazz… Yeah, whatever!
Right about now a famous fictional British secret service agent/spy is big news around the world. In fact he has been for 50 years and counting. the present incumbent Daniel Craig has divided opinion ever since he took on the role. My favourite Bond was… well I don’t have a favourite actually but I can tell you who I didn’t like. Actually that’s a lie, its just that I stopped watching the damned things for a few years (I grew up) so I have no feeling for nor affinity to Timothy Dalton or Pierce Brosnan, However, I always thought that George Lazenby should have had another crack at the role.
Either way, shaken or stirred, bad guy or love interest the movies are now back on my agenda and I’ll never tire of one particular movie or scene from Live and Let Die in 1973. Roger might not have been the best Bond but his portrayal of 007 in that Blaxploitation-styled flick always cracks me up. Plus you had the twin peaks of Jane Seymour and that hot black chick Gloria Hendry (no relation to Stephen Hendry) in the mix keeping things moving. So, what’s in a name? I’ll let this video clip explain for ya’ll!
Bond might not have been stirred but he was definitely shook!
