(NOT SO) Random (JAMES BOND BLU-RAY) Movie Mention: “A VIEW TO A KILL” (1985)
Yeah, That’s What’s On.
I Just Happen To Have This Classic JAMES BOND Caper On Ye Ole BLU-RAY, Now!
Exciting, Eh?!
For The Longest Time, I Insisted To My Friends ((and anyone else whom might/might-not care)) That This BOND Adventure…
“A VIEW TO A KILL“
…Was MY ULTIMATE-FAVORITE BOND Flick.
Period.
And, For The Bulk Of My Youth, It Honestly Was.
While It May Not Be MY FAVORITE Any Longer, It Remains A True Joy For Me To Kick-Back And Watch.
“A VIEW TO A KILL” And “OCTOPUSSY” Actually Started My Personal Love Affair AND Adventure With Ole -007- And His Amazingly Wonderful World.
I Sincerely Haven’t Looked Back, Since.
I’ve Been Hooked From The Onset.
I Do So So SO Love This Movie, And Think It To Be Very Very VERY Underrated.
Yeah, I’ll Grant That ROGER MOORE Was A Little “Long-In-The-Tooth” At Times During This One.
It Can’t Be Denied, So I Won’t Even Try To Do So.
But, Did It Honestly Bother Me???
Nope.
NOT. AT. ALL.
I’m A Huge ROGER MOORE Fanboy.
He Shall Always AND Forever Be MY FAVORITE BOND, And It’s Pure Bliss For Me To Watch Him Go On A Mission As The World’s Most Famous Spy.
“A VIEW TO A KILL” Co-Stars CHRISTOPHER WALKEN As Our Baddie, The F-in’ Brilliantly Insane “MAX ZORIN“, Whom Is Hell-Bent On Destroying Silicon Valley, California, With A Man-Made MEGA-DISASTER!
He Wants To Corner The World’s Microchip Market, You See.
Honestly, He’s The Icing On The Sweet Sweet Cake That Is A ROGER MOORE Bond-Fest.
And, If CHRISTOPHER WALKEN Is The Icing, Then GRACE JONES As The Evil Henchwoman “MAY-DAY” Is The Strawberry On-Top!
(((I hate raw cherries, so those don't come anywhere near my sweet sweet cakes with icing!)))
Just Sayin’.
This Flick Is Truly PRICELESS.
It’s Over-The-Top At Times, But It’s Totally Worth It, My Peeps.
The Chase Scene Going From The Eiffel Tower, And Ending With A Crashed Wedding On A Barge, Is Simply Wonderful FUN.
And, That’s Exactly What The Whole Flick Is…
…FUN!!!
Sometimes, That’s Really All I’m Lookin’ For.
I’m Very Happy To Have Now Added This BOND Caper To My Blu-ray Collection, And Now I’m Going To Get Back To Watching It.
I’ve Likely Seen It 412′ish Times…
…BUT It Has Yet To Get Old.
OH, And Don’t Forget About The Film’s Theme Song!
It’s Performed By Another Person Favorite…
DURAN DURAN
!!! !!! !!!
It’s STILL My Absolute Favorite BOND Theme Song.
Period Period Period.
Y’all Should Give This BOND Flick Another Chance, My Peeps.
It Is Deserving Of At Least That Much.
Who Knows, Maybe You’ll Encounter A New Found Appreciation For It.
I Know I Did, And I Already Really Enjoyed It.
You Just Can’t Beat JAMES BOND On The BLU-RAY!!!
Happy Movie Watching, Kiddies!!!

The Song Stuck In My Head: “DAMAGED PEOPLE” by DEPECHE MODE (2005)
.
.. ..
… … …
“We‘re Damaged People…
…Drawn Together…
…By Subtleties That We Are Not Aware Of…”
…
“…Disturbed Souls…
…Playing Out Forever…
…These Games The We Once Thought We Would Be Scared Of…”
…
“…When You‘re In My Arms…
…The World Makes Sense…
…There Is No Pretense…
…And You‘re Crying…
…When You‘re By My Side…
…There Is No Defense…
…I Forget To Sense…
…I‘m Dying…”
…
“…We‘re Damaged People…
…Praying For Something…
…That Doesn‘t Come From Somewhere Deep Inside Us…”
…
“…Depraved Souls…
…Trusting In The One Thing…
…The One Thing That This Life Has Not Denied Us…”
…. …. …. ….

“DAMAGED PEOPLE“
by DEPECHE MODE
…Is A Truly Skipped-Over AND Underrated Jam, My Peeps.
Truly AND Honestly.
It’s Very Odd.
It’s Very Quirky.
It’s Dark AND Brooding.
Yet, All The While, It Remains A Beautiful Song.
Period.
This Is Actually One Of My Favorite Songs From The Album “PLAYING THE ANGEL“…
…An Album Jammed With Favorites.
“PLAYING THE ANGEL” Was Released In 2005, With Most Reviews Saying This Particular Song Was One Of The Drags Of The Album.
People Just Didn’t Warm-Up-To-It Like I Sincerely Felt They Should.
Me?
I Loved The Entire Album, Including The Song “DAMAGED PEOPLE“, And I’m Quite Unsure Just How Many Times I’ve Listened To It.
It’s A Song That Gets My Brain AND Heart Churning AND Burning Overtime.
At This Moment, This Song Is Locked Into My Mind.
I’ve Been Listening To It The Bulk Of The Morning, And That Sincerely Prompted This Post.
Honestly, I’m Not So Sure What To Say.
I Have Something Written On Paper, But I’m Slowly Realizing I Don’t Really Think I Should Say To Y’all Everything It Actually Says.
I Think I Made It TOOOOOO Personal.
Just Know This, My Peeps…
…I’m Dedicating This Post To Someone.
The Other Inspiration For This Bloggin’ing.
THE SPARK.
Everyone, Whom Works In A Creative Field, MUST Have A SPARK.
Period.
A Muse, If You Will.
Something/Someone That Inspires You.
Something/Someone That Makes You Want To Work.
Something/Someone That Brings You Great Joy In Life.
I Have One.
You (likely) Have One.
So, Tell Me, My Peeps…
…WHAT/WHO INSPIRES YOU???
WHAT/WHO MAKES YOU WANT TO WORK???
WHAT/WHO BRINGS YOU GREAT JOY IN LIFE???
Please Let Me Know, My Peeps.
To Say I’m Curious Is An Epic Understatement.
I Want To Know What Makes You Feel Like Doing This Kind Of Thing, Or Any Kind Of Thing, Regardless Of What It Is.
I Know What Makes Me Happy.
I Know What Makes Me Sad.
I Know What Inspires Me.
I Know What Makes Me Keep Coming Back For More.
So, What Does It For YOU, My Peeps???
Anything???
Anything At All???
There MUST Be SOMETHING???
Right???
RIGHT!!!
