Grayson is now addicted to Bond movies, so he and Parker and I are spending afair amoutn of Memorial Day working our way through Bond movies. The rented almost the only older Bond movie Blockbuster had, The World Is Not Enough, which I really enjoyed. I had thought Tomorrow Never Dies was pretty much the apex of the Brosnan Bond, but I think this one was actually better. Edgier and not as much camp or gadgets. I still think Brosnan is the best mature Bond - he's still young enough to be plausible, and he's cruel - a critical factor in playing Bond, to me, since I'm a stickler for the books. Daniel Craig is the best overall in my book, but he's playing essentially a different character, albeit one closer to the book.
Made a run to Longview yesterday to reload and picked up what is probably my favorite Roger Moore Bond movie, For Your Eyes Only 
with the lovely Carole Bouquet, who, I was pleased to learn this evening, was not the late first wife of Pierce Brosnan. Brosnan's wife was in the movie - she was Bond's other love interest in the film, Cassandra Harris. Small world). Grayson and Parker liked this one was well - lots of stuff blowing up. They don't particularly like Roger Moore - he'd not Bond-like enough for them. I have to agree - Bouquet looked impossibly young, and he looked impossibly old - and he had at least two more Bond movie still to go...
Tomorrow we have two more on deck - Sean Connery as Bond in From Russia With Love and Thunderball. I think they'll like Connery.
