Episode 10

Recommended Posts

The Spy Who Loved Me is a popular entry into the Bond canon, which is why For Your Ears Only is that much longer this month. In addition to the walkthrough, Ian ropes in a TV guest star through the legally dubiously magic of technology, and Adham interviews Prof. James Chapman of the University of Leicester about his book looking at Bond's role in cultural history. How many books have been written about Jason Bourne's cultural identity, Matt Damon? Exactly. [ 3:40:24 || 100 MB ]

The above is from: http://www.earth-2.net/podcasts/foryourear...arsonly_010.mp3

Mike: Many thanks! And don't worry, I've yet to give your Transformers podcast a listen, but I've got next week off work so I'll have plenty of time to play catch up!

Stavros: I'm not passing the buck because it was a great idea, but Adham can lay claim to coming up with adding Alan Partridge into the mix. He also wanted us to use the Fraiser clip of the Cranes singing "Goldfinger" for Episode 3, but I'd already finished editing it together by then.

One thing I will say is that I might have to sit in on future interviews if we do any - I didn't even edit the thing as I had the rest of the show to sort out so Adham did that as well. What I have heard of it I've enjoyed though.

I think Professor Chapman really nailed the formative aspect of the Bond films with regard to the British male. I remember when my dad had to sit me down and explain about Roger Moore.

OK, just finished the show. Fine edition, and good job Adham getting a bona fides Bond expert on the show. I may well have to check out his book, it could be an invaluable companion to this series. By which I mean it will give me enough information to fustratedly shout "You are so blind! You so do not understand! People like you make me sick! What's wrong with you?" at my iPod.

Now I have to go and actually buy Moonraker. You see what you're making me do?! I have to actually pay money to buy AND WATCH this damn film. I'd pay money NOT to have to watch it. There will be a reckoning, oh yes there will.

why not just get this Stav and save the time of buying them individually? Other then the huge price tag of course :D0072.jpg

Because I already have a hilariously mismatched set culled from the constant re-editions they've been doing since they started, and I don't sell DVD's as a habit. The only two films I've ever sold are Scary Movies 1 & 2 and Scooby Doo, and I think my reasoning there is obvious (although why I paid for them in the first place is still a mystery).

I've got like 15 of the series, I never thought it would be to my disadvantage to not own Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only or View To A Kill. I've seen them all before, they aren't worth it. Besides once the guys get on to Dalton I'm home free, I've got every film past 1987. I don't much like the idea of paying out a huge chunk of cash for the whole matched set when really I can't get much in return for the films I do have. At this point its probably cheaper for me to just buy the last few individually.

as far as cost your right Stav but still that big Bond Set is freakin AWESOME! they are all 2 Disc Special Editions which I've never had before and it's great. As far as the various other Collected editions of the Bond films this by far surpasses the others. WOW this thread has gone way :ot: from the actual episode :D.

And Ian in response to continuity comment you made to me in another thread while I completely understand the NEW Bond films are in cannon with the rest of the Bond Films what I was trying to say was that they should have waited to do the Daniel Craig Bond movies.... because I didn't want Brosnan not to be Bond.... hopefully I said that to where ya get the point. :D

I've got all the special editions and i have to agree they are awesome. Just finished watchinf FYEO after listening to yet another great podcast. One thing though guys i thought you would have mentioned the great George Baker was in it. Oh no Moonraker next.

- Agreed, tis an awesome boxset

- Many thanks!

- George Baker got quite a lot of adulation in Episode #6, but yes, he didn't quite make the final edit. Sorry!

- We're recording that tonight, as it happens! I'm about to pick Adham up from the train station in fact.

Have a great recording, i so look forward to hearing your podcast. Just finished watching moonraker and dare i say i actually enjoyed it. Saying that i really get brassed off with the pigeon doing a double take during the gondola chase. And you have to stand up and applaud Q's quip "I think he's attempting re-entry sir" Class, pure class.

My GOD! I just figured it out!

JAMES BOND WAS THE ONE WHO WAS SO VAIN!

:laugh:

Okay, okay, "You're So Vain" predates "Nobody Does It Better," and NDIB wasn't written by the artist who sang the song, but it does make sense considering the mood of the two songs, and the whole characterization of James Bond.

By that logic, Tom Jones referred to Sean Connery as "Delilah", "Hey Jude" was about Roger Moore and a-Ha were throwing down the gauntlet to Timothy Dalton when recording "Take on Me". :happy:

They're not killed, though. Bond doesn't drown them. They're arrested.

Yeah, you see them resurface; one swims over to the poolside and points towards the house in which Whyte is imprisoned.

If anything, Diamonds Are Forever marks the first undisputed Bond kill of a homosexual - two in fact!
