I was concerned when I found out that Live And Let Die was basically James Bond’s attempt at Blaxploitation because I thought it’d be hugely racist. Fortunately it’s only mildly racist.
Camp action is done better here than in Diamonds Are Forever, that’s for sure, but it’s still not as good as most of Connery’s movies. The first act of the film is a fairly good thriller, but the second devolves into farcical nonsense. The final act is pretty good.…
Wow this one SUCKS. Been a long time since I’ve truly detested a movie - I thought I was getting soft.
This is the first truly stupid James Bond movie. I understand the value of camp, but this borders on parody. It’s a real shame that this is Connery’s last appearance (in the Eon films), as well as Blofeld’s.
HoopTober 9.0!!

Hello and welcome to the most post-punk movie of all time. Where Repo Man is the definitive movie for 80s west coast punk, its contemporary The Hunger best represents east coast/euro post-punk. If you know me, you know that post-punk is my favorite genre of music, so I obviously loved this movie! I'm honestly shocked that I'd never heard of The Hunger before HoopTober forced me to seek it out.
There were…
Perfect movie. I’d have rewatched it as soon as the credits rolled if it weren’t for the tyranny of time and responsibility.
