So glad for the Daniel Craig era...

I agree, the Daniel Craig era has to be the best story line and fx. The funny thing is that who knows, in 30 years they will probably say the same thing about being cheesy, lol. Sean Connery is probably my favorite because he is such an iconic actor IMHO. Roger Moore, although not the best but his films hold a certain level of enjoyment simply because it reminds me of the “father and son” movie trips growing up. The very first Bond film we saw together was “Live and Let Die”. Just like “Excalibur”. Being a Professional Civil Engineer, my dad was conservative to say the least and in his opinion, I only missed school if I was on my death bed. So for him to pull me out of school so that he and I could see the movie together was quite the occasion. Needless to say, is still a good memory since that was decades ago.
The funniest memory was a movie double feature my brother and my dad did was seeing “The Spy Who Loved Me” and ................. “The Kentucky Fried Movie”. My first big screen shot of boobies.... Needless to say my brother and I were on the edge of our seats enjoying the sights while my dad was slouched down in his seat with his hand on his head like he was thinking “oh crap, their mother is going to kill me”.[emoji1]
Last year, Netflix aired the “Kentucky Fried Movie”, I told my wife the story and happily started the film. Wow! Talk about cheesy...........
In my marathon 007 run with the crack cats in the morning, I gotta admit that if I had seen this one as my first Bond movie, I probably would have stopped. Talk about horrid.........[emoji849]
We still pull movie trips but due to health issues, not so much. The parents enjoy Studio Movie Grill because of the food and drinks.
