What a way to spend a bank holiday, watching badmovies.
So far I've got through:
Night Fright
Nightmare in Blood
and Spooky Encounters
Now Casino Royale's on Channel 5, I think my brains going to melt.
Hey, I rather liked "Casino Royale." Over long by half, but I especially liked the music and the scenes set in the casino. That last action sequence set in the casino, has to be one of the best
action sequences I have ever seen in a James Bond film. As a matter of record, that film was not the first adaptation of "Casino Royale." The first one was done for television w/ Ed Nelson as an American James Bond and Peter Lorre as Le Chiffre. Enjoy
I'm Bond fan but I draw the line at Casino Royale, it's a waste of good talent.
Certainly, no one was at his or her best, but, I would rather see
Orson Welles--and John Huston, too--at their worst, then I would like to see many actors at their best. And there are other compensations, as I said previously. The music for one. And I appreciate anything that leaves me (ROTFL) and that last scene set in the casino always does it for me. No matter how many times I see it. Though, that is alright. We can agree to disagree. I would like to say, though, if one is a fan of any actor, director, or character, it behooves one to make an attempt to see
everything by or about them--the best, the worst, and the indifferent. Which is why I have seen every Bond film, whether on television or in the theater.
It's ok, you can make fun of one of my favorite movies if you want, the gory classic Street Trash.
