I was already dead keen to see it, but Big Dave has me chomping at the bit.

Never been a big fan (wasn't bought up on it all, and I think that makes a massive difference) but it's always heart warming to see one of my 13yo's most played songs on my Spotify is Here Comes The Sun. 

The Beatles skipped a generation for me.  I think I saw it too much as my mum and dad's music to get seriously into them as a teen, but my daughter is absolutely obsessed.  I don't think there's a surface in her room that doesn't have a bit of Beatles merch or artwork on it so we're now into them by osmosis.  Needless to say she is absolutely over the moon that a new Beatles song has come out in her lifetime.

I didn't have the opportunity to shout rubber dinghy rapids at him, which I reckon no one has ever done and he would have loved. 

Personally I'd have gone for a rasping "BOR GULLET!"

What are your garden centre "Must Haves" and where are the good ones you go to?

I'm a man of standards so it must have a miniature train and railway track to get me through the door.  Van Hage at Ware meets these standards.

I think that’s only Geoff Hurst left now from the 66 World Cup final. 

He's the only English player left from the final.  There's at least Beckenbauer from the Germany team still going.

Pfizer in my veins, Greggs on the way.

...and the supposedly reworked AI system is still wank (every car up to the first three are pointless and about half the races the car in 1st just races ahead with no way to catch them)

Yeah, once you have the drivatar difficulty more than halfway up the slider the lead car just Verstappens you and it takes every lap being perfect to reel in the lead they built up in the first half of the first lap.

I know it could be an element of karma, but I’m hopefully that’s a work of fiction, but I’d like to think this shows that the “once a cheater always a cheater” mantra isn’t always accurate.

It's not really true.  There are serial cheaters, serial monogamists, people who have isolated instances of falling off either wagon, and everything in between.  People have the capacity to grow and change, but that doesn't mean that they will.

Still got it wrong though. Andrew Bridgen isn't a bastard, he's a cunt.

I remember loving View To a Kill though as a kid so it may not get the lowest mark.

In HD the stunt joins are hilariously bad.  There's no way Moore at that age was taking bumps or racing round Paris and you can see the badly syrupped stunt actors in almost every shot.

These films are fun but the formula means they are quite un memorable.

I think the Moore-era more than any of the others is Bond does... isn't it?  Bond does Blaxploitation, Bond does Kung Fu, Bond does Star Wars... and wrap a Bond story around whatever the current trend was.  FYEO (if you exclude the pre-title shenanigans) is by far the straightest it's ever played or written for Moore.

Throw in the obligatory powerboat chase...

Bit of an undersell.

I think we're approaching the low-point though, as next up we have the two-Bond year of 1981.

83 is your double Bondage with Octopussy and the renegade Never Say Never Again.  You're not even close to the low-point until you see a rather old Roger seduce/get seduced by Grace Jones.

For Your Eyes Only...

This was supposed to be better than X and it ain't.

I really quite enjoyed X and watched this off the back of it.  At least X had a lot of gratuitous boob in it.

Mia Goth's scene at the table was too good for the rest of the film.

I read something in passing so I can't attribute it to a source.  The gist of it was that with the notable exception of Andor, the current Lucasfilm/D+ output barely draws on external sources, it mainly draws on other Star Warses for inspiration, ideas, and material.

The Ahsoka series seems to be the final boss stage of this premise.

On an actual COVID related note, booster for me this afternoon, are we still doing the fast food after gimmick?

Yes, but fortunately not the other way round.  You don't have to have a jab before every visit to the drive-thru.

Mind you... a lot of it I reckon is embarrassment.

Which can also be why your parents never taught you something in the first place, to cover their own blushes.  My Dad has many skills in life, but with DIY he's beyond inept.  He would not know what end of a paintbrush to use so asking him how many coats of Dulux to use would be pointless.
