My dear girl, there are some things that just aren't done, such as drinking Dom Perignon '53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That's just as bad as listening to The Beatles without earmuffs!” A blog inspired by the music world of James Bond Part 3A The Bond songs I am not so keen on Thunderball and The Man with the Golden Gun
Introduction
Hello there as part 2 covered the Bond songs that I love its only fair we cover the Bond films/songs that I don’t really like.
Thunderball
Originally meant as the first James Bond film, Thunderball was the centre of legal disputes that began in 1961 and ran until 2006.[14]
This article from the Screenrant website details how Thunderball nearly become James Bonds debut adventure at the cinema and if it had been made how it would have altered the James Bond film series over the next 61 years read it by clicking here https://screenrant.com/james-bond-first-007-movie-thunderball-franchise-changes/
Former Ian Fleming collaborators Kevin McClory and Jack Whittingham sued Fleming shortly after the 1961 publication of the Thunderball novel, claiming he based it upon the screenplay the trio had earlier written in a failed cinematic translation of James Bond.[15][6]
The lawsuit was settled out of court; McClory retained certain screen rights to the novel's story, plot, and characters. By then, Bond was a box-office success, and series producers Broccoli and Saltzman feared a rival McClory film beyond their control; they agreed to McClory's producer's credit of a cinematic Thunderball, with them as executive producers.[16]
Later, in 1964, Eon producers Broccoli and Saltzman agreed with McClory to cinematically adapt the novel; it was promoted as "Ian Fleming's Thunderball". Yet, along with the official credits to screenwriters Richard Maibaum and John Hopkins, the screenplay is also identified as 'based on an original screenplay by Jack Whittingham' and as 'based on the original story by Kevin McClory, Jack Whittingham, and Ian Fleming'.[16]
Thunderball Brought to Book
Screenrant the film website recently published an article ranking all 14 of Ian Flemings James bond books Thunderball was number 5 in thier list here are their comments about the novel
In many ways, Thunderball is arguably Fleming's most straightforward novel, though that's not a bad thing. The plot involves Bond investigating the disappearance of two nuclear weapons, which eventually leads him to the Bahamas and the home of SPECTRE agent Emilio Largo. While it offers very few surprises in the way of plot - Bond saves the day and gets the girl once again - Thunderball is, nevertheless, a charming and well-paced thriller that brings a fresh burst of energy and wit to the series.
The 5 Basic rules to get a James Bond film to work
Let me start by saying that is a lot to like about Thunderball so I will start with the positives first and tell you why I don’t really like later,
The are 5 key areas in any Bond film that need to be tackled if you want to stand a chance these are in no Particular order the Bond Girls the gadgets the Villians the story and the music Thunderball as produced by Kevin McClory hits 4 of the 5 of these key objectives right on the nose indeed The What Culture website picked out the Bond girls in Thunderball as their standout moment of the film
22. Thunderball - The Bond Girls
With its bloated length and excess of underwater action, Thunderball's definitely the worst Bond film of the 1960s, and the unofficial remake, Never Say Never Again, is arguably better but it's still an enjoyable, glamorous retro action flick that gets some things absolutely bang-on - most of all, its Bond Girl characters.
While the Bond Girl was always a very important part of the series' formula, it was only with the fourth film in the series that the Bond series got this archetype absolutely right for the first time.
Few of the Bond Girls from the first three films were all that great. Even the best such character from the first three movies, Dr No's Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress) doesn't get enough to do in her film.
In contrast to its predecessors, Thunderball did a great job with its Bond Girls. There are two main Bond Girls - Domino (Claudia Auger) and Fiona Volpe (Luciana Paluzzi) - and they both rank amongst the franchise's finest even after all these decades.
Domino is a fantastic female lead that really feels like a fully-realized character, mainly because she actually has a compelling story going on. Ultimately, it's her actually who kills the lead antagonist, not Bond.
Similarly, Fiona Volpe is a very sinister and unsettling femme fatale who feels like a real threat to Bond and, even if her death scene was disappointing, she's still among the finest female villains in the Bond canon.
And talking about Fiona as played (Luciana Paluzzi) - The movieweb film website picked her as number 1 in their list of the deadliest women in the Bond Franchise this is what they had to say about the deadly SPECTRE female agent.
SPECTRE’s skilled assassin Fiona Volpe (Luciana Paluzzi) is tasked with seducing and killing a French Air Force pilot, and helps a fellow enforcer surgically alter his face to resemble the victim and take his place. Their plan is to steal a nuclear bomber armed with two warheads. After seducing and making fun of 007 (Connery), she holds him captive with the help of two other agents, but he manages to escape. Later, she catches on with him at a club, and attempts to distract him with slow-dancing, while her henchman fires at him from behind a curtain. But Bond spins her around just enough for her to be the bullet’s recipient.
“I forgot your ego, Mr. Bond. James Bond, who only has to make love to a woman, and she stars to hear heavenly choirs singing. She repents, then immediately returns to the side of right and virtue... but not this one!”
Volpe is the ultimate female villain because she is one of the few who are immune to 007’s charm. One of her most memorable scenes include her firing missiles at a car she’s pursuing on her motorcycle.
Q Branch
Gadgets again Thunderball scores high in this regard as well in fact it out does its predecessor' in the area Goldfinger and that used a lot of hardware.
In Thunderball we have :
Homing pill
When Bond takes this pill, it emits a signal that can be detected only by a certain receiver
Air supply
A small device that can be carried on the person without notice and when in use, is held in the mouth to provide four minutes of air in emergencies when the user has to go underwater. (Effectively a miniature Scuba set.)[18][9]
Underwater jetpack
Bond is equipped with a jet-propelled scuba tank.[9]
Breitling 'Top Time' Diver Chronometer watch
with built-in Geiger counter.
Underwater camera
capable of taking eight shots in succession in darkness using an infra-red film.[21]
Geiger counter camera
A camera that conceals a Geiger counter. Bond gives this to Domino to look for the bombs on the yacht.[22]
Miniature Very pistol
a pocket-sized flare gun firing a red signalling beacon.[22]
Cassette recorder hidden in book
Bond uses this to learn that Quist is hiding in his hotel room.[23]
Perharps the most famous of all the gadgets is the Bell Rocket Belt Jetpack indeed it top the list of Best Gadgets used in the Bond films on the Den of the Geek website
1. The Jetpack
Whether it’s science fiction or semi-realistic thrillers, the jetpack has become an example of a gadget that has captured moviegoers’ imaginations. Humans want to fly and the concept that one could be propelled using the thrust of an engine strapped to their back is a thrilling proposal. Jetpacks of course exist in the real world, and the iteration seen in Thunderball is not quite as fictionalized as many might expect, despite it differing from the hydro-packs audiences can actually experience today.
007 has flown a wide array of aircraft in his time, yet none seem quite as volatile as Connery’s backpack during his fourth film’s opening sequence. The Bell-Textron gear was originally built for the U.S. military but could only last in the air for about 20 seconds, making it a largely redundant design. Despite the dangers it posed, the production strapped Bond (or a stuntman) to the jet, with the character making a quick getaway through the air from his pursuers. It’s a remarkable moment in the movie, with the sound design reminiscent of a powerful plane thruster, helping to sell the idea of its sheer strength. Bond might look slightly clumsy getting lifted in the air by the jetpack, but the premise itself was intriguing enough to mesh well with his style and there really wasn’t anything cooler to a kid watching the scene for the first time.
The final great strength of Thunderball is the amazing score by John Barry the above part of the blog quotes the sleeve notes written for the 2003 re-release of the full Thunderball score under the James Bond remastered series by Neil Bond.
Music
John Barry produced one of the most cohesive and propulsive of all of the Bond scores for Thunderball but he faced some trouble over his original title song taking his cue for Japan’s nickname for 007 Barry wrote a sly,insinuating tune called Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (with lyrics by Leslie Bricusse and recorded it with both Shirley Bassey and Dionne Warwick . In keeping with his prior approaches to From Russia with Love and Goldfinger, Barry also wove his title melody into the fabric of his score and jaunty tune worked particulaly well as a counterpoint to the Bahamian night-life depicted in the film.
click here for a link to a you tube video of the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrNeTRrX4Zs or if you perfer the Shirley Bassey take on the song click here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1debbldqGc
A change of course
However shortly before the film premièred however the producers realised the previous films had featured the films title in the song and they requested that Barry write a new song called Thunderball Not only did Barry face a rush deadline but Ian Fleming’s original title did not lend itself particularity well to lyrical treatment Since know one was actually sure what a Thunderball was.
Barry turned to Song writer Don Black to describe a mysterious man who runs while others walk and who strikes like Thunderball opening with a menacing six bar brass fanfare derived from The James Bond theme. The songs ambiguous lyrics meant the singer could be describing Both Bond or the films villian Largo
The song was recorded by Tom Jones who reportedly nearly passed out recording the songs final note
For the score Barry was able to write a great deal of atmospheric undersea water music for 007s survillance of Largos operation with low flutes and undulating suspended textures Early on the composer introduces a slow and subtle expression of the pulsating 007 theme he first created for Russia with love this theme became the basis for Barrys scoring of the Spectacular underwater battle and the climatic fight aboard the disco Valantie
The result is the most sustained and spectacular action music in the franchises history Barry was under enormous pressure to finish The Thunderball score and he only completed the first half of it when it became the time to release the soundtrack album
Part of the unreleased Thunderball score was included on the 2nd disk of the American version of the first Best of Bond CD in 1992 which featured a Thunderball suite of music totalling 16 mins of music the CD also included the Bassey and Warwick versions of Mr Kiss Kiss Bang the complete score was released in 2002 as part of the James Bond remastered series in 2002
But doesn’t include the Shirley Bassey or Dionne Warwick recordings of Mr Kiss Kiss Bang.
One more key strength of Thunderball is the killer 10 minute opening title sequence detailed by the collider film website in this article where they describe the scene as follows
These are hands down the 10 most intense minuites you will ever see in a Sean Connery James Bond Film I think they are slightly over egging the pudding but you can read the article here https://collider.com/sean-connery-james-bond-thunderball-opening-scene/
So after all those positives what don’t I like about Thunderball?
Well I find it really hard to watch at 2 hours 10 mins the film is a bit too long for me and the film editor Peter Hunt who did such a good job on the other films really should have got together with the script editor and cut a good 10 or 20 mins to make a much pacer film.

The Man with the Golden Gun
Roger Moore’s 2nd film as James Bond released Just a year after Live and Let and Die I think it was released to the public too soon Its not helped as well that film is based on an Ian Fleming James Bond novel that was not one of his best as this Screenrant article points out which ranked all 14 of Flemings James Bond books Man with the Golden Gun was number 13 on their countdown they had this to say about the book
The Man with the Golden Gun shouldn't be treated too harshly, given that it was Fleming's last Bond novel and was released eight months after he sadly passed away. Because of this, the book feels half-finished, almost like an early draft of something that Fleming intended to do rewrites on before sending it off to be published. And while there certainly is a decent novel in there, unfortunately, the version that made it to bookstores is a limp and lackluster imitation of Fleming's earlier 007 works.
As with any James Bond film even the bad ones there are some good things in it I like the Title track by Lulu (which was never released as in the UK or the US) the Bond girls in the film played by Maud Adams Andrea Anders and Britt Ekland as Mary Goodnight are Both very good.
As is Christopher Lee playing the man with the Golden Gun himself Francisco Scaramanga The What Culture website picked out his performance as the best thing in the man with the golden gun here are there comments
The Man with the Golden Gun, with its low stakes, dull story and general lack of memorable moments (aside from, perhaps, the barrel roll jump) which was highlighted in another article about James Bond this time looking at the 25 best set pieces in a James Bond film the barrel roll jump was number 24 in Yard Barkers list
This is a fairly standard car chase at first, and a highly annoying one at that given the presence of Clifton James’s J.W. Pepper. Why the redneck Louisiana sheriff from “Live and Let Die” would be vacationing in Thailand is a mystery for the ages; all that matters is that he’s along for the ride when Bond improvises a jump across a collapsed bridge with two spiraling ends. The “corkscrew jump” made the Guinness Book of World Records, but plays rather underwhelmingly in the movie thanks to composer John Barry’s baffling decision to score the stunt to a slide whistle.
The Man With The Golden Gun is easily the single most mediocre instalment of the series. That being said, it is still fairly watchable, mainly because the villain is so great.
A superbly crafted, ultra-cool and gloriously badass assassin, Francisco Scaramanga is an exceptionally entertaining antagonist who really stands out in what is otherwise such a low-effort of the series. It certainly seems like more effort was put into him than into any other part of the movie.
He was already a very strong villain on paper, but Scaramanga was elevated to an absolute all-timer by one of the most on-point casting choices in Bond history. The great Sir Christopher Lee fit the part like a glove and gave an absolutely formidable performance.
As much as Scaramanga deserved a far better film than the one he got, he's still one of the best Bond villains ever.
And the Golden gun itself was number 4 in Den of the Geeks Best Gadgets to feature in a James Bond film
Going back to the villainous theme, The Man With The Golden Gun included such a spectacular gadget that the film was named after it. The talented and deadly professional hitman, Francisco Scaramanga, had been given that very nickname because of the unusual firearm he carried with him. It might have been a calling card that has featured in the legacy of Bond pictures, but the gun was also crafted in a genius way to conceal it in everyday life.
Firing golden bullets, the weapon was custom made to separate out into different fragments, each of which represented a regular item: a pen, a lighter, a cigarette case, and a cufflink could all be disassembled from the firearm. Low frequency metal detectors are also far less effective at finding gold, meaning security would be a lot easier to travel through with the device on one’s person.
The slow assembly of the gun helps to raise the ominous tension of any scene. The gadget is such a perfect display of James Bond movies at their best, the narrative itself being driven forward by this conflict-causing surprise weapon, which not only rivals some of the best guns that Q has created but has also been involved in plenty of other Bond projects. It’s difficult to find a spinoff game for instance that doesn’t allow players to utilize the popular golden artifact.
So why does The Man with the Golden gun miss its Target?
Guy Hamilton’s direction he was so good in Live and let Die yet its so bad here the man problem is James Bond himself Guy Hamilton has forgotten what made Roger Moore Bond tick there are even a few scenes in the film where Guy is trying to turn Roger Moore’s Bond into Sean Connery and it doesn’t work
Setting the film during the Energy Crisis of 1973 has dated the film very badly lastly why are people who work for Universal exports so angry with each other and acting out of character? To watch a trailer for the man with the golden gun click here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF5fr3Zhi7E

Do you ever think about how good omens the book is about two best friends, was a project made between two best friends, and then the tv show brought together two actors, David and Michael, who became best friends?
Cause I do and it’s an endlessly lovely thought.

Today I'm gonna spend my free moments thinking of Allison going pro and also creating her own fashion label and flicking her pony tail over her shoulder when people ask her how she does it all very "what, like it's hard?" But Then she also goes over to the other foxes houses whenever she's in the area and she eats an entire pizza on her own and splits a pack of beer with them and falls dead asleep on the couch in the ugliest way possible bc yea that's a lot of work and there's no place to unwind like home (with a fox)
#when she descends upon the andreil household it is with a suitcase from her up and coming athleisure line#and she and andrew are the ones splitting the beer while they make neil try it all on#and he doesnt mind bc he likes that they have something to bond over finally#and also bc he doesnt actually hate these clothes hmm she might be onto something here#aftg#allison reynolds#andreil#andrew minyard#neil josten

Jeanneil fake besties of all time. Kings of committing to the bit. Neil could say whatever and Jean would (rightfully) assume it’s part of a scheme to keep them alive and would corroborate immediately.
#aftg#all for the game#the sunshine court#tsc#tsc spoilers#Eli rambles#I want them to get caught in lies I want neil to make up outrageous stories for the press during his pro career and jean to unhesitatingly#yes-and it.#they’re going to have to be each others best men so the fbi doesn’t get suspicious and I just know Matt and Kevin and Cat are all fuming in#the corner#the long term effects of the fbi con are going to be so funny. imagine if you’re an exy fan and these two pros on different teams don’t#really interact much but then you find out they were both in the mafia and trauma bonded because of it. they were each others best men but#they haven’t been seen in public together in like three years

it's a pet peeve of mine when ppl frame Andrew as hating Aaron and being needlessly cruel to him... bc while yes, their relationship is fractured and strained, Andrew genuinely cares about his brother and wants the best for him, he just doesn't know how to show that in a normal way.
like he might not know how to express it in a healthy manner but Andrew LOVES Aaron, like he truly just wants Aaron to be healthy and safe. It's like, his whole Thing. Aaron is one of the most important people in his life. Andrew wants him around. He'd do anything to protect him.
I guarantee Andrew wants to be emotionally close to Aaron too, he just doesn't have the tools to do that and the thought of letting someone in terrifies him. He also has no concept of what a healthy sibling relationship looks like, so he has no frame of reference to work from.
#i love bickering twinyards as much as the next guy but sometimes ppl write andrew has if he thinks aaron is a waste of space#and that just isn't true#andrew values his brother#he wouldn't insist on keeping aaron close if he didn't#when ppl do this is just so obvious to me that they're using andrew as a mouthpiece for their own dislike of aaron#and like ok yeah you're entitled to not like a character i guess#but it's just so wildly out of character to me for andrew to treat aaron like shit for no reason beyond Being Cruel#like yeah andrew can be mean when he's feeling defensive or trying to make a point#and yeah he can treat people like shit if he's got a reason to justify it like Keeping People Safe#but he's not needlessly cruel to the people closest to him without cause#like neil says#everything andrew does#he does For A Reason#even neil isn't needlessly mean to aaron tbh#like he doesn't like aaron much at certain points but if he picks a fight with aaron it's never without cause#and he's genuinely happy for aaron when things work out with katelyn in the end#and he wants aaron to have a relationship with andrew as well! like it's important to neil that the twins have a healthy bond!!#anyway im getting off my soapbox now this is just something i was thinking about today a Lot#aftg#all for the game#the foxhole court

can u do more Jeandrew twitter interactions i love them
It’s so hard to come up with realistic interactions for them two because I don’t see Andrew tweeting things like this at ALL but still I hope this satiates your craving a little bit🫡
#Andrew tweeting alone is a rarity#tweeting AT someone else? that’s not Neil? unlikely I fear#but I’ve somehow created this universe where everyone bonds over mutual public humiliation of Kevin Day#it’s kinda funny#ask

Just saying but this too is erasure of neil's demisexuality
Yes there is a level of obliviousness leading up to neil's realization that he's into andrew, but that still only started after a build up of a bond between them.
Stop trying to find ways to twist his experience into something allo. Stop equating his first moments of trusting & developing a bond with anyone outside of his mother to catching feelings. This was the start of the groundwork necessary for neil to be able to develop feelings, not the the moment he started developing feelings.
#neil is demi.#he did not develop attraction towards andrew until after they had an established bond#because that is how being demi works#can this fandom get that through their heads#neil josten#demisexual neil josten#tired of aphobia#tired of demisexual erasure#aphobia#fandom aphobia#aftg#all for the game#aftg fandom#andreil

so much talk of jean and neil bestfriendisms when are we gonna talk about robin and neil bestfriendisms? like robin photocopying pics of the foxes for neil's new binder. robin inviting andrew and neil over for dinner with her family. robin always saying hi to andrew whenever he calls neil. robin and neil being joined at the hip for neil's last year and wymack complaining that he's a bad influence on her. neil being protective and fond of her. the bond they have is "unbreakable". neil taking robin with him to buy a car. robin being the only thing neil bets on. them having inside jokes and gossiping about their teammates and keeping in touch even after they graduate. i love them your honour.
#zoe yaps#ROBIN AND NEIL YOU ARE SO SPECIAL TO ME#their bond is so underrated#most of the stuff in this post is canon asw#robin cross you will always be loved by me#i'd honestly pay to read a book just abt her#aftg#all for the game#neil josten#andrew minyard#andreil#robin cross
