What was the Bond movie with the giant Spider base in the sea & the Amphibious white car ?

It s a Roger Moore, I love when the car comes out of the sea and the Bond theme starts.

 

That s the Bond fun I miss.

I've seen 19(?) Bond films, don't like any of them. They are all stupid and sexist and too long and they're all identical to each other, they never expand or improve on previous films.

 

 

Ah, Mr Bond.  You appear with the tedious inevitability of an unloved season.

 

I think after the first half a dozen or so you probably should just call it a day.  It only took me one Fast & Furious to throw in the towel.

WHERE IS MY MAJESTIC DROP?!?!?! FUCK YOU UNIVERSAL!

 

Look at it this way: it's probably the shortest run ever for a 2,000+ release so it's a record in its own right.

The Spy Who Loved Me.  The base being another magnificent Ken Adams set.

I think Nicholson needs to do another film like The Departed or maybe a comedy but I guess his salary means he's unlikely to do something like a Birdman or anything mid to low budget.

And yeah good poing too, all Bond movies had amazing sets too.

The Sean Connery/Roger Moore Bond were spectacular for their time.

Like Disney, the Bond families always understood production values & escapism.

I've always thought For Your Eyes Only is wildly overrated. Spy Who Loved Me is better, but Barbara Bach's performance is one of the worst of the series. It really hurts the film for me.

 Not quite. The Saw 10th anniversary re-release only had one week.

But that was always meant to be one week only.

Ken Adams last Bond film was Moonraker and it shows - no other Bond film sets have been as grand or wacky since though they've tried with Ice Palaces and Desert Lairs.

 

Agreed, they had a great consistent stable of talent with from set design to composer to stunts to script doctors.

If Bond has taught me anything, its that chicks dig being treated that way...

The sets in the space station were fantastic too, I was surprised to see how big they were, ah the good ol' days of Pinewood...

There s a reason the Bond brand has survived time.

The submariner/tanker set in TSWLM was at the time (maybe still is) the biggest set ever built and Stanley Kubrick lit it for Adams as a favor.

Hopefully Spectre can hit 80m.

Looks like Universal stopped tracking it. They don't want any records. So basically - NOT A RECORD.

Is this the box office equivalent of "Street Fighter rage quit" - you know, where a player quits in the middle of a fight?  Universal doesn't want any more Jem box office records, so they go, "Jem can't have the theater drop record, because we're ending its run right now!"

[Water Bottle]

I'm thinking peanuts will do better than expected. I'm at the movie theater right now for specter and there are so many kids with Snoopy toys. It's insane

Yep.  It's like the Mercy Rule in Little League Baseball

Seeing Bond and Snoopy tomorrow. So excited.
