Live and let die 40th anniversary

[Wonder Bread He-Man]

June 27th , 1973.......

Italy might be the only country in the world to not have the black woman on their movie poster , also cop cars are pianted orange instead of white lol

-Moores 1st Bond , a new era had begun which would last 12 yrs (!) and a staggering 7 (!) films

-Seymour was pretty fresh when she did this movie , hardly done anything prior to this......along with Rigg she's prolly one of the best actresses in the series.

RIP cast :

Julius W. Harris aka Tee Hee

Earl Jolly Brown aka Whisper (very private man so finding his autograph is next to impossible , by far one of the toughest to locate)

screen writer Tom Mankiewicz (also did Superman '78)

While not my favorite Moore file (the blaxploitation elements are very jarring) I do enjoy the movie (despite it being the only film before 2002 to to have Desmond Llewellyn as Q)

Plus it had one of the best bond themes by Paul McCartney & Wings

A classic Bond film, with some really great lines and a lot of outright fun (the thing so sorely missing from the new Bond films). Best line, when they find the little voodoo hat with the feather in it:
"Why it's just a hat, darling, belonging to a small-headed man of limited means who lost a fight with a chicken.."

Classic Bond I love the speedboat chase.

I love this movie, the Moore years were all about being silly and implausibly camp, which was what made these movie amusing IMHO, I mean he goes to space an a later movie and Jaws finds love fer crying out loud I found an interesting article about the guy in the goat head who tried to "sacrifice" Jane Seymour by making her kiss a snake (that's how it looked to me anyway LOL). Anyway you can read it here: http://bernews.com/2012/03/michael-e...nce-to-thrill/ I try to avoid viewing movie from the past and reacting to them by today's standards, it was the 70s and the height of the Blacksploitation Grindhouse days. Look at most movies today makes you think how too much political correctness really over-sanitizes movies into feeling like production line vehicles for A-list actors, see a PG-13 Wold War Z and Brad Pitt hyping it like it's his mid-life crisis translated to cinema. Wait what was I talking about?
Oh Yeah
Anyway, that Voodoo scene inspired me to start working on a pin-up cheesecake sketch involving bondage peril and snakes in a voodoo ritual and a hapless sexy tourist on the fictional Ilse the movie took place. I originally thought of titling it being at Haiti, but then the whole earthquake thing happened and I kind of stopped working on it due to not wanting to have a bunch of "Too soon" comments, but then I forgot that it was in fact a fictional place Bond goes to in the movie, so that's the safe route Obviously I wouldn't post it here of course.

In the scene with the snake Jane wasn't acting , she was genuinly scared to death
